Fun family photo session in a park in Wyckoff

This Ridgewood family photo session could not have been more perfect – two adorable kids, two laid-back parents, cute outfits, perfect weather, and lots and lots of hugs and laughter – if that’s not a recipe for a great session then I don’t know what is:)

I’ve photographed these kids once before – they came to my Ridgewood studio for a studio holiday mini session last year. I was amazed at how much they grew and changed in less than a year. Little brother P. turned from a crowing baby into a super energetic happy toddler who seems to be always on the go:) Big sister A., who was described by her mom as a bit shy, was so warm and open – she held my hand, and was ASKING me to take pictures of her here and there!

We wanted to capture lifestyle and unposed family images, which is what I am known for! and decided on a park in Wyckoff for this family session. I love photographing kids and families there – it looks beautiful in all seasons and is a safe place for little ones to run around and have fun. And have fun is what we did! In their pre-session questionnaire this Mom mentioned that she wanted lifestyle images that captured her kids happiness and natural smiles and I think it is safe to say that this objective have been met!

Photographing Ridgewood sisters | Bergen County studio photography session

Apparently this family only had one ‘professional’ photo session – when big sister A. was a few months old and her Mom took her to one of the mall photography studio places to get pictures. The way her Mom describes it, it was not a very pleasant (or relaxing) experience – the baby cried all the time, the Mom had to hold her while wearing Santa Gloves (the session was during Christmas time) and the images did not come out that great – with a wrinkly crying baby (Mom’s words, not mine). Needless to say these images are not displayed anywhere in their house.

So when this Mom scheduled a studio photo session with me she really did not have much expectations. The girls came to my Ridgewood studio and that’s where all the fun started – they were funny and easy going and I had a blast getting to know them and making them laugh. And then we headed outside and proceeded with our sessions in a cool spot that’s very close to my studio – the color of the background matched their beautiful blue eyes perfectly!

When Mom saw these images at the studio during her viewing/ordering session she was very surprised – I guess her mall studio experience did not prepare her for the world of custom photography:) She cried upon seeing the images – needless to say she absolutely loved them. And I know that images from this session will be proudly displayed in their home!

Ridgewood studio holiday session with adorable sisters

What do you get when you have two sweet and loving sisters, adorable outfits and a few pretty cool (if I may say so myself) studio holiday sets? You get wonderful holiday pictures! I loved meeting these two girls at my Ridgewood studio when they came in for their Christmas session. They were funny and very well educated about sharks! 🙂 And they loved playing with fake snowballs, snow flakes and snow at our Ridgewood photo studio. A few weeks after the session I received their Christmas card with the pictures I took (can I just say how much I LOVE getting holiday cards from my clients!) and a sweet note from big sister S. thanking me for capturing their images. So now only these girls are beautiful, smart and funny but they are very polite and thoughtful as well!

I cannot wait to photograph their whole family in 2016!

Ridgewood holiday studio session

Wow, what a busy season this has been! I’ve met and photographed so many adorable kids for their holiday cards this year! I finished editing all holiday sessions (YAY!) and now I am slowly catching up on blogging them all – so there will be lots of great images from the holiday sessions I had at my Ridgewood photography studio!

In short 3.5 years I think I had 8 sessions with this little one! She is one of ‘my’ newborns – I’ve been photographing her since her Mom’s maternity session and since then I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow and change year after year. I get excited about seeing this family every single time – it is wonderful catching up with them and being amazed at little M. This kid has SO MUCH personality – she is funny, sweet, smart and super squeezable! Her Mom told me that at pre-school they were talking about their holiday tradition and ‘going to a studio to take pictures with Ms. Lena’ came up as one of them. And apparently, on the back back from this photoshoot poor M. cried most of her car ride home because she did not want to leave the studio because she had so much fun with Ms. Lena. If that’s not a successful session I don’t know what is;)

And now without further ado I present to you images from M. Ridgewood holiday session that we had at my natural light photography studio in Ridgewood!

Ridgewood holiday family photo session

Check out images from a great Bergen County family session I had recently. I’ve been so lucky to work with so many wonderful new Bergen County families this fall season and these guys were no exception. They were relaxed and natural in front of the camera and that translated into natural and fun images. I look at these images and all I see is love and happiness and even though it may sound like a cliche but capturing that really warms my heart and makes me so happy!

This was their first professional photo session as a family for four – baby J. just turned a year old and they were definitely in need of updated family pictures – and professional pictures of J.!

Big sister M. is so funny and so cool – she is great at soccer and is all about Batman. She was a Batman (not a BatGirl) for Halloween, which I think is super cool! Little brother J. is adorable with his toothy grin – he is very proud of his walking skills:) And together with their Mom and Dad they laughed and jumped and hugged and played with leaves and even with a soccer ball. When I was selecting images to include in this post, I noticed that these guys were smiling or laughing in all of them – this session really was as much fun as it looked like it was. It really was an awesome session!
