As a family and children photographer I photograph my clients pretty much anywhere they want me to – be it outside in a park, at their home or at a few of my favorite go-to location around Ridgewood. But as much as I love on location photography, I do love working at my Ridgewood photo studio. The light there is absolutely stunning (and when mother nature does not cooperate I have plenty of studio light on hand to create that natural light look), it’s spacious and comfortable and is a pretty great spot for family sessions especially now when no one wants to be outside for a photoshoot:)

I feel that when people think of studio photos, many (and if I am being honest, I used to belong to that camp myself!) think of posed, stiffed, matchy outfits types of photos. Am I right??!! Well, there are lot of different types of studio photography out there and when you are looking for a photography studio for your family session you need to make sure you find the one that matches your vision. Family sessions that I offer at my Ridgewood photo studio are very similar to what I offer for my on-location family sessions – they are fun and laid back and the images I strive to create are authentic and natural.

This was my first time meeting and photographing this family of four and they specifically asked me to do a studio session – loved the the esthetic of it with lightly painted walls and white/pastel furniture. The Mom did an amazing job with the outfits – seriously, they looked like they stepped off pages of a magazine! They were loving and sweet and had a great time together – and I think it shows in their photos!
