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!

Shy Guy… | NY Children’s Photographer | Rockland County

5 comments

It took all my creative playing powers to win the trust of this endearing little guy.   When friends of mine called me for his portrait session, I thought, “A five year boy?  No problem!  I’m totally in my comfort zone.”  Well, he was very shy at first.  Soooooo, I talked up Yo Gabba Gabba, the Mario Brothers and the Yankees.  I even ran to buy some  Skittles and orange Tic Tacs…and then fed them to my toy dinosaur.  I think that did it!  He must’ve thought, “Hey, she’s alright.”   As we started playing, I got some smiles and laughs and we even went for a little stroll along Congers Lake.  He is very adorable…as you will see.  And I hear afterwards he said I was cute! :)

I love this one cause it captures his shyness.  And his beautiful eyelashes.

Three Cheers for the Red, White & Blue… | Children’s Photographer | Wyckoff, New Jersey

6 comments

We’re starting to celebrate Memorial Day early with some red, white and blue!   You may remember this little guy from a session I did with him in February when he was just 3 months old.   This time, I had the extreme pleasure of meeting his adorable sister and brother so we could get the three of them together.  And how cute are they???  They were great models, too.  Easy to joke around with and make laugh, although I did have to enlist big sister to get her baby brother to smile for us one last time at the end of the session…I think it worked!

They certainly do!  This beautiful sister and brother were awesome to work with…not only were they fun but mom put them in stylin’ outfits and took us to some great locations around Bronxville!

Just back from Texas,  I have a new appreciation for the cowboy hat…

Sisters and Sunshine… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Ringwood Manor, New Jersey

Hooray for sun!!  This past Saturday, we got a little taste of what spring should be like…it couldn’t have been a more beautiful day for a photo shoot with these two beautiful sisters.  I love that they each have their own unique look!  They were really fun to work with and so cute with each other, too!  The day was a tad windy, but I have to say in retrospect that I like the effect…

Baby brother… | Children’s Photographer | Ridgewood, New Jersey

My first day back from a week long photography workshop (amazing, btw), and although I could’ve used a rest, I was very inspired and ready to get back to work.  I got a last minute call from this family to photograph their newborn…  He is an absolute beauty as you can see, and so are his brother and sister.

I really love this first one with proud big sister holding him…

Talk about a good looking family…!
