A group of New Jersey family photographers is a pretty tightly knit community and I am very lucky to have made great friends with  local photographers.  We talk shop but also talk about children, husbands, vacations, dogs and other important things:)  One of such friends is Christine from Two Leaf photography.  Unfortunately for us (for lucky for those of you on the West Coast) she moved out to California – so if any of you are out there you gotta look her up – she is great.   Christine values my work and refers her old clients to me – which means so much!  This family has been a referral from her and I am so glad that I got to meet them.

I’ve photographed these girls once before – when they came to my Ridgewood studio for a studio holiday session.   I was really excited about their family session because you know – I love family photography:)   I have to say that I had such a great time with them – these girls were SO entertaining!  Big sister S. is wise beyond her years and knows all about sharks.  And her little sister E. is hilarious – I was laughing throughout the whole session!  When these girls came to my studio with their parents for their viewing/ordering sessions they ran up to me and gave me huge bear hugs – made me feel so loved!   And the little one kept bursting out in giggles whenever she saw her pictures:)  Both girls were involved in picking out images for their canvas collage – I think it is so cool that it was a family decision!
