I’ve been a Bergen County family photographer for many many years and it’s true that most of the families I photograph are families with young-ish children. But as a mom of teens I firmly believe that having family sessions with older kids is just as important as having these sessions with younger kids. Sure, teens are not always cute and cuddly as toddlers and forget about even suggesting possible photo shoot outfits to them… But teens have got so much to offer – they can be fun and funny and if you get to know them – really cool!

This family photo session session with two older girls was such a treat! This family lives in Ridgewood (this photoshoot was a gift to their Dad – and what a nice gift it was!) so we decided to do the photoshoot in Ridgewood – after all we live in such a cute town and it makes for great backdrops for family photo sessions.

I’ve photographed these guys years ago when they were little and it was really cool for me to see and photograph them now – they sure look very differently from our last photo session! They were so easy to photograph and I can’t tell who had more fun at this session – the girls (and judging from their smiles – they did have fun) or I !
