Fun with Four… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey
3 comments
I love that I get to encourage laughing on the job! It doesn’t always work, but it certainly did for this session. These four kids were awesome…they were engaging, interesting, and just delightful. They laughed easily, especially the girls, which not only makes my job easier but more fun. And I’m all about fun on the job. These portraits are a surprise Father’s Day gift from their mom to their dad and I just love that idea.
It’s always fun for me to try to capture each child’s unique beauty and I think you can see the different personalities shining through in these images…

Earlier this season we announced the first and second bloom of the season with our Baby’s First Year Plan & our Custom Gift Registry. Well now we’d like to announce our third bloom of the season:

This spring we have some exciting new plans in the works here at Christine DeSavino Photography, and earlier this month we announced the first bloom of the season with our Baby’s First Year Plan. Well now with our second bloom we have the perfect compliment to a baby package or a newborn session. In fact it’s the perfect companion to any portrait session that celebrates a special event in the life of a child…

Bring on the beach… | NJ Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island, New Jersey

If you live in the north east, you know you’re ready for summer. It’s been a long, cold winter and a very wet spring and I think we’re all dreaming about some warm days in the sun with sand between our toes…
Well, it’s never too early to think about booking a beach session. This family bravely booked theirs for the beginning of April. Wow – that’s daring! Miraculously, it was a balmy 55º with very little wind….what were the chances? I must say it was quite beautiful. LBI off-season is less crowded but no less special. And there’s no line at The Black Whale either.
This mom’s objective was to get just one good shot of the whole family together…I think we more than succeeded. Her twin girl and boy were not only adorable in looks but had the most endearing personalities as well. Mom & Dad couldn’t have been cooler. We had some real fun together….
Mom did a fabulous job of dressing and accessorizing. I love that. You can see how nicely denim photographs, and adding bows and fun jewelry can really enhance the look. I love her off-the-shoulder sweater also…
I love this boy’s vest – it makes him look like a little man!
We start in Beach Haven, then drove up to “old Barney” to finish up the session…

I had the pleasure of meeting these two adorable children not long ago…when it was a little too cold to venture outside. They were beautiful, and I love the expressions they gave me… For me it’s not always about the smiles… I mean, smiles are great and I do my best to capture some at every session, as you will see below. But there is also something special about catching a more thoughtful expression that shows another side of your child’s personality. I find these shots beautiful! I guess for me it’s about capturing genuine expressions…nothing forced…no “say cheese” for example. This older sister was a little shy at first. She started to come out of her shell little by little and then once I started to photograph her brother, she got a renewed interest…funny how that happens with kids, right?
Anyway, this first one is one of my favorites…
An adorable smile…
…but I just love her expression in this one!
…and this!
This little guy is so adorable and also gave us a variety of expressions…
Love it!
What a beautiful pair!

I met both these kids as newborns and it blows me away to see how quickly they’ve grown! This little girl doesn’t like to be away from mommy’s arms for too long, but we did manage to get some winning smiles while she sat all by herself! She looked just beautiful in the Crewcut dress mom put her in for the shoot, and had lovely accessories to match. I am loving her wind-blown hair, her little hands and that gentle smile in this first shot. This is my third time photographing her older brother – he gets more gorgeous every time I see him. Just check out his big brown eyes. Love the ‘do, too!

Very often I prefer black and white processing to color. Sometimes removing color also removes distractions and gives more focus to the subject. It is raw and pure and adds a timelessness to the image. I decided that for this blog post, I would indulge in an all black and whites. Two families with four cousins, came together on a sunny Saturday for one of my spring mini-sessions. The children were beautiful and well-behaved and all the adults were happy that spring had finally seemed to arrive. A very pleasant morning indeed. Now don’t worry guys, there are plenty of nice ones in color too…
