A Ridgewood family photo session

Enjoy this blast from the past in this edition of blog Throw Back Thursday

One of my favorite things about being a New Jersey family photographer is meeting children and families from all over in Bergen County.   And one of my favorite things about meeting new families is seeing love and interaction between parents and kids and brothers and sisters.  And there was so much love at this family session – so much of it that I could almost physically feel it!   As the youngest child and the only girl in a family with two big brothers you expect this young lady to be loved and doted on.  But to say that this baby girl is loved is an understatement.  She is absolutely ADORED by her big brothers and parents.  The brothers were showering her with love (and grass!), kissing and hugging her and making her laugh.  She is one lucky little girl:)  Actually all five of them are pretty lucky because they belong together!

Ridgewood lifestyle family photo session | Bergen County photographer

Being a Bergen County family and children photographer for close to 8 years I’ve photographed many many many families over the years.  I do my best to blog these sessions and share what I think makes each family and session special.  As result there are probably hundreds of blog entries on this website and of course you can view them in Archives on this website but really, who has time to look through that, right? 🙂   So I’ve decided to introduce Throw Back Thursdays to this blog!  I am so excited that old family and children sessions will get to see the light of day again as part of Throw Back Thursday series:)  So without further ado I present to you a Ridgewood family photo session I did with one of my favorite families – enjoy!

Can I just say how much I LOVED this Ridgewood family photo session?  This is my fifth session with this awesome family – every time I photograph them I feel that the session I just did is my favorite session. And of course this was the case this year – I absolutely love the images we got and now this is my favorite session of this family:)

This year we decide to split up the session between their Ridgewood home for fun images with their house and downtown Ridgewood – for some urban shots.  That’s a great thing about my Signature sessions – they don’t have to take place in the same location and so many of my clients take advantage of that – and get a great variety of images and capture places that are meaningful to them!

This family loves lifestyle family photography and so do I – and I had a blast photographing parents and kids doing what they do best – having fun together.  There were kites and bubbles, chocolate chip cookies and peek-a-boos, hugs and cuddles and even some upside-down action:)

I love looking through these images – I think they capture an idillic childhood and an immense amount of love these kids grow up with!

Family fun at a farm | Mahwah family photo session at Secor Farms

I consider myself a very lucky photographer because a lot of my families come back to me year after year after year.  I love developing relationships with them, having our own inside jokes, watching kids grow and being there to document big and small milestones.  And eventually the line between being clients and friends gets blurrier and blurrier and each photoshoot feels more like hanging out with friends than working.  Such is the case with this family – this is their fourth family session with me and it may sound cliche but I really look forward to seeing them every year!  For this year’s photoshoot we decided to do something different and have their family photo session at a farm.  It may not be easy to find a working farm in the middle of Bergen County to have a family session at but since I am so awesome and go above and beyond for my clients I did just that!  And not only were we able to have a session at a farm but we were able to do it before it was open to the public so we had the whole place to ourselves!

I think this was one of my favorite family sessions I’ve done in a long time – it was just so much FUN!  The kids loved running around on a farm, playing in a pumpkin patch and exploring not one but TWO corn mazes!  And to top it all off there were piping hot apple cider donuts that waited for them at the end of a photo session:)

These guys always order the same canvas collage and they always display it in the same spot in their house.  Each year they replace it with a new one and ‘re-allocate’ old canvases elsewhere.  This Mom told me that it makes her really happy walking up the stairs and seeing a fresh collection of their images displayed there year after year.  And it makes me very happy coming to their house and seeing their happy images from the last four years displayed all over the house!

Boys, boys, boys | fun photo session in Ridgewood

“What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails
And puppy-dogs’ tails
That’s what little boys are made of.”

This nursery rhyme is very appropriate for this Ridgewood family photo session I had a few weeks ago.  What do you get when you combine 8.5 twin boys and a 6 month old puppy who is bursting with energy?  You get a lot of running, jumping, general goofing around, silly jokes and funny faces.  But you also get some soulful conversations, thoughtful looks and  long eye lashes.  And I loved that 1) I was able to get natural smiles from both boys despite the fact that the Mom told me that she was not sure if that was at all possible 2) the boys ended up having lots of fun and 3) the Mom loved all images and kept saying how amazed she was at the outcome!

Fun fall family photos at Secor Farms | Bergen county family photographer

I will do a proper session spotlight of this Mahwah family photo session I had recently at Secor Farms in Mahwah Bergen County – I absolutely loved it and it deserves its own blog post.  But in the meantime I wanted to share this slideshow that I put together with a few images from this Bergen County family photo shoot – enjoy it!
