Merry and Bright | Holiday photo session at Ridgewood photography studio

Here is more cuteness from holiday mini sessions at my Ridgewood studio.  This family came to Ridgewood for their family session this spring and I loved seeing them again when they came to my Ridgewood photography studio to get pictures for their Christmas cards. Can I just say how much I love the PJs this Mom picked out for her kids?- I bought the same ones for my girls:)

Fall family pictures in Ridgewood | Bergen County family photographer

I first met this family over a year ago when they came to me for a summer family photo session last year.   This year they wanted to do something different so they booked their family photoshoot for October – when foliage is usually at its peak – that’s the most popular time for family pictures.  Dad did an amazing job picking out cozy fall outfits for the entire family!  What we did not anticipate was that it would be 80 degrees in the middle of October!  The kids and their parents were great sports though and rocked their fall outfits like champs.  We did have a blast together – despite being boiling hot – and that joy does come through the pictures!

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!

What my clients are saying about their Live Love Laugh Photos experience

I was going to write a nice blog post about photographing these beautiful, funny and spunky kids and their gorgeous momma at my Ridgewood studio.  I was going to write about how I hard laughed watching K. dance to Meghan Trainor or listening to her ‘directing me’ and asking me to take a picture of her feet and the feet of her doll (which I did!) or how funny her expressions where or how she was the feistiest 6 year old I’ve seen in a long time.  And I was going to write about her sweet brother J. who loves his blankieand his stuffed; and how sweet his giggles were and how much he loved snuggling with his Momma.  But instead I will just use a few quotes their Mom posted on FB when she saw their pictures:

“We did a session with Lena today and she was magic. She gave me permission to not stress about my kids and their behavior. She made them feel so comfortable and relaxed. She coaxed out their real personalities by inviting through fun, humor, and laughter – and encouraging them to bring along their favorite toys (in this case a blankie and favorite stuffed animals). It was just so good!!!  This my friends, is why Lena Antaramian does what she does and is who she is.

Anyone can take a photo. But to capture the true essence of a 4 year old is a whole other story!  This is literally a snap shot of J. at 4 years old. His every night. His ‘guys’. His ‘blankie’. His world. His life. His brain. His experience. And somehow, Lena captured it in a 30 minute session. Thank you mama!!!!” 

 She gets me… This is exactly why I do what I do and why I love it so.

Photoshoot with a two year old at a Ridgewood studio

This is a second time I got to photograph this beautiful little girl!  I first met her last year when her Mom brought her to my Ridgewood photography studio for her one-year-old portraits.  I was so amazed to see how much she grew and changed in just a year!  Is not it amazing that as an adult I don’t change at all (ha!) from year to year and yet when I see kids that I photographer every year for their annual portraits they change so much!

This C. was just bursting with personality – she was happy and silly and cute all at the same time!  I always tell parents to bring toys, books or other items that have a special significance to them and to the kids and this Mom brought these adorable wooden ducks.  They photograph really add (I just love the pop of color they add to the pictures).  But the coolest thing is that this girl’s Grandpa made them for her!  How cool is that?!
