When I saw these two walk into my Ridgewood photography studio for their holiday mini sessions I could hardly believe my eyes – they looked like they just stepped from pages of a children’s catalog! I’ve photographed this family many many times already (so if these kids look familiar it is probably because you’ve seen them on this blog!) and their Mom always does such a great job picking out their outfits, but I think their holiday outfits were my favorite so far! Their Mom got the outfits at Little Nikki’s boutique in Ho-Ho-kus – which is a GREAT place for classy and timeless kids clothes.
These two loved the winter-wonderland set up at my Ridgewood studio. It works so well for young and older kids! Loved loved candy canes, sugar cookies and of course – playing with snow balls:)

I loved photographing this Ridgewood family! They were referred to me by great clients of mine so I knew right away that a session with them will be great. They also had a studio session with me earlier in the year but decided to do a Signature Session in the fall.
We started this session at James McFaul park in Wyckoff and then went to their house in Ridgewood to get some images there with their dog. If there is a dog involved, I am ALL for including him/her in the pictures – I am a HUGE dog person! My kids keep asking to get a puppy and when we tell them that they cannot even take care of their hermit crab, let alone a DOG, they told us that ‘a hermit crab is TINY and that makes taking care of him difficult, taking care of a puppy would be MUCH easier’:) But I digress!
Kids were being kids – being silly, running around, finding and playing with feathers, with some snuggles with Mom and Dad in between. But that’s how kids are and for ME that’s what makes family photography fun and interesting – capturing authentic moments and dynamic images, not perfectly posed portraits where everybody is sitting perfectly still and smiling at the camera – although there are many great photographers that do just that and do that very well.. But that’s not my style and most of my clients seek me out because of my lifestyle photography.
I – and more importantly – the parents – loved how these images turned out and got a number of beautiful wall art pieces to decorate their home with. And when I delivered their products to their home (I feel like Santa every time I deliver an order!) – this little girl was so thrilled to see the finished pieces – her reaction was priceless – giggles and laughter and so much happiness! It made my day!:)

A few weeks ago I had a newborn photo session at my natural light photography studio in Ridgewood. You might remember this family – you ‘saw’ them on my blog a couple of months ago for their photo session as a family of 3. I was so thrilled that they came back to me for their updated pictures as a family of 4! I loved meeting baby L. – she is beautiful, sweet and absolutely perfect! She stayed up a bit and we got beautiful open eyed shots with her including this one, which is one of my favorite newborn images of all times! But then she fell asleep and slept like a champ while I captured typical newborn images. Congratulations you guys on your two BEAUTIFUL girls!:) And if you want to get beautiful lifestyle images of your family, now is a great time to schedule a family session because you can take advantage of my Christmas in July special.

You know, I LOVE maternity sessions and photographing mamas-to-be. Well, I had my first maternity session in my studio in Ridgewood and I gotta say that now I love maternity sessions even more! My natural light studio is a perfect place to photograph expecting mamas: amazing light, modern decor, great music to make sessions even more fun (in my opinion at least), and gourmet cookies and chocolates – what pregnant woman can say ‘no’ to that?!:)
To say that I loved this session is an understatement. It was so much fun and time just flew by. I had so many ideas of interesting shots and this mom was a perfect model! Seriously, how stunning is she?!
Here are a few images from a holiday photo session I had at my studio in Ridgewood. This girl’s family had a session with me recently but wanted to get updated images for their Christmas cards and my holiday studio sessions were just the answer for them. This little girl is as sweet and funny as she is cute! And after I showed her one of the pictures I took of her (on the back of my camera) she said ‘Wow, Ms. Lena, you are a very talented picture-taker’:)
