PJs and Hollywood Glamour | Christmas mini session at a Ridgewood photography studio

It’s been five years since I’ve photographed these beautiful sisters and to this day I remember how much fun their Ridgewood family photo session was!  So needless to say I was really excited about seeing them at my Ridgewood studio when they came for their Christmas mini sessions.   The PJs and robes they picked out well really great with my milk and cookies in bed theme.  But I absolutely adore the old ‘Hollywood glamour’ types of shots we got towards the end of the photoshoot! Cannot wait to see them again and photograph their whole family next year!

Family fun at a farm | Mahwah family photo session at Secor Farms

I consider myself a very lucky photographer because a lot of my families come back to me year after year after year.  I love developing relationships with them, having our own inside jokes, watching kids grow and being there to document big and small milestones.  And eventually the line between being clients and friends gets blurrier and blurrier and each photoshoot feels more like hanging out with friends than working.  Such is the case with this family – this is their fourth family session with me and it may sound cliche but I really look forward to seeing them every year!  For this year’s photoshoot we decided to do something different and have their family photo session at a farm.  It may not be easy to find a working farm in the middle of Bergen County to have a family session at but since I am so awesome and go above and beyond for my clients I did just that!  And not only were we able to have a session at a farm but we were able to do it before it was open to the public so we had the whole place to ourselves!

I think this was one of my favorite family sessions I’ve done in a long time – it was just so much FUN!  The kids loved running around on a farm, playing in a pumpkin patch and exploring not one but TWO corn mazes!  And to top it all off there were piping hot apple cider donuts that waited for them at the end of a photo session:)

These guys always order the same canvas collage and they always display it in the same spot in their house.  Each year they replace it with a new one and ‘re-allocate’ old canvases elsewhere.  This Mom told me that it makes her really happy walking up the stairs and seeing a fresh collection of their images displayed there year after year.  And it makes me very happy coming to their house and seeing their happy images from the last four years displayed all over the house!

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!

Like Father Like Son | Ridgewood photography studio session

When a kid looks at a canvas collage from his last year’s family photo session with you and asks his Dad to schedule another studio photo session session, you know you did something right.  And when they come in to your studio for a photo session have a blast together, laugh and play and on the way out of the studio you overhear the little guy tell his Dad: “This was so fun, can we do it again?!!!’ you know that you did many things right:)

Loved seeing these guys at my Ridgewood photo studio – with their matching ties, suites and sports jackets.  And cannot even tell you how amazing it is so see their special bond – this little guy is absolutely adored by his Dad and the Dad – by his little guy.  And I am one lucky girl that I get to capture it every year!
