Growing pains… | Children’s Photographer | Bergen County NJ

11 comments

My babies…growing up before my very eyes.  Losing teeth, playing ball, becoming computer whizzes!   Asking questions about the world around them…(some very difficult to answer!)  Learning to share and to be patient.  Seeing that life is not always fair, but trying to focus on what they have rather than what they don’t have.  Hard lessons but important ones…

I know one day I’ll look back and pine for these early years.  Life can get so busy, but I try to take the time everyday to appreciate their beauty and innocence and to show them how proud I am to be their mother.  They are growing up so fast…

I love you boys more than I ever knew was possible.  xoxo ~ Mom

The Magic of LBI… | Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island, NJ

12 comments

I am so happy and excited to be doing summer beach sessions at LBI again this year!!  It’s one of my favorite places on earth!

On the day of this session, it was beautiful and sunny.  Then all of a sudden, right before our scheduled time, the clouds came rolling in and next thing you know it was POURING.   An hour later, sunshine!  It just goes to show that it pays to roll with the weather…    This family was so sweet and I could tell from talking to mom that LBI is as magical a place for her as it is for me.  We both spent summers here as kids and now we’re creating special memories with our own children.  When she asked me to capture some special beach moments of her family, I knew how much this session meant to her.   I hope I’ve captured some of the magic of LBI 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!  :)

The Power of a Lollipop | Child Photographer | Hudson County, NJ

13 comments

When you’re a three year old girl, you’re on the move!  You can’t slow down for a photo shoot.  Unless of course, there’s a reward in it for you…like a big, swirl lollipop.  It made for a cute, colorful prop, but there is no denying that this beautiful girl didn’t need any help looking good.  Here’s a sneak peek for mom and dad – who she undoubtedly gets her good looks from…
