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.

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

8 comments

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 wuv you, too… | Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

comment here

OK…so being the mother of two boys, I was TOTALLY in my comfort zone for this session…chatting up Thomas the Tank Engine and testing my knowledge of Star Wars trivia.  Also, mom and I had the “Polish connection” because even though I have the Italian last name, I am mostly Polish and proud of it!  But most importantly, look at these faces.  Can’t get much cuter, can it?  Older brother totally reminds me of Robert Redford…he is so handsome!  And well, when you see mom and dad you know where they get their looks from.

This little guy and I had so much fun together that when I was leaving he said, “Bye-bye…I  wuv  you.”   Melt!   Doesn’t get much better than that for me!

Here is just a sneak peek for you guys…more to come!

Bear Mountain on a Whim… | Children’s Photographer | Rockland County, NY

5 comments

Bear Mountain has some of the most spectacular sunsets and best vistas in our area.  On this beautiful 70º Sunday in November, we thought we’d dress the boys up and head there for some Christmas card photos.  The thing is, we left a little late, almost missed the sunset AND  realized our gas tank was on empty (I mean, empty) half-way up the mountain.  Did we turn back?  Heck no!  We had light to catch!  About 15 minutes worth. The pressure was on and here’s a bit of what we got….

The happy ending… we coasted all the way down the mountain (in neutral) til we found a nearby gas station.  There we rewarded ourselves with ice cream and chips!  :)

A Little Bit Country | Child Photographer | Northern Indiana

comment here

Here are some pictures of a lovely young lady I met while visiting my husband’s family in Indiana. She was literally the girl next door!   There is an awesome red barn right across the cornfield by their house (a novelty for this Northern Jersey girl!)  which made for a gorgeous backdrop. We had so much fun during this shoot! Afterwards she gave me a thank you card that said she had “the time of her life” which was so sweet because so did I! She is truly a beauty inside and out!
