Family time… | NJ Family Photographer | Ringwood, New Jersey

3 comments

I loved this family…they were fun, relaxed and the conversation came easy.  The kids were adorable and we had no problem getting them to laugh and play and even strike a dapper pose or two.   The little guy was one and half, so when you put him down, he was on the go!  And I followed – hey, it’s part of the job description.  Then I finally smartened up and asked his brother to catch him, which made for some cute shots.

For this session, we visited the beautiful NJ Botanical Gardens, and this was before the freak snow storm wreaked havoc on many of it’s trees and plants. But our timing was good and the grounds were such a picturesque backdrop for this beautiful family…I just love the results.

Spirited! | Newborn Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

3 comments

This little girl was, in her dad’s words… “spirited.”  She woke up in between almost every pose and gave a good little cry.   Luckily, her dad was so fantastic at soothing her back into a slumber, that we named him “the baby whisperer.”   Mom and Dad actually came all the way down from West Point for their session …with a cadet uniform in tow! (It made for a great prop!)  It was really fun collaborating with this sweet little girl’s mom on the look of the session and the various props.  They also brought pink roses and hydrangeas for the session…I love it!  And, as you can see in the last shot, big brother was also on hand for a handsome portrait with his baby sister.  A beautiful family indeed and a fun session…

Comfy and Cozy… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

5 comments

In my continued effort to catch up on my blogging, I’d like to share this little beauty from the summer.  This little guy was only a week old and he stayed very comfy and cozy for almost the whole shoot.  Mom also had the cutest selection of props and accessories…like this owl hat.  Say it with me….”aaaaaaw!”

Beach highlights…. | NJ Beach Photographer | Ocean County, New Jersey

2 comments

Wow…this summer really flew by.  It’s been my busiest summer yet in business, especially with beach sessions down at LBI!  Unfortunately, something had to give…and it was my blogging.   My beach season started in April and believe it or not, I’m on my way to the beach this weekend for one final session and who knows, maybe I’ll even get some pictures of my own children.

 

But before the feel of summer totally fades, giving way to fall foliage and Halloween mania, I wanted to show some of my favorite images from sessions that I didn’t have a chance to blog this summer…

Summer in the city… | NYC Child Photographer | New York, NY

3 comments

I loved this session…even though this little 7 month old guy had some teeth coming in that were causing him some pain…which is why I love this first image.  Everything goes right for the mouth…even a foot!  We gave him a rest, a snack and a change of clothes and he was back in business! Battery Park City was our backdrop for this lovely NYC family’s session.  It was a hot summer night, but the sunset was beautiful as was the company…

In the Summertime… | NJ Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island, New Jersey

3 comments

Well, with Hurricane Irene upon us, I thought we could use some sunny beach pictures to brighten things up…  These boys got so big since the last time I saw them for a newborn & big brother session.  Look at them now – all kinds of adorable.  And what a change in just eight months!

Beach sessions for children are some of my favorites.  Mom and Dad dressed them in great beachwear and brought colorful, wooden beach chairs which made for awesome props.  At the end of the session, we were joined by the whole family… for a beautiful finale!

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…
