Cloudy days… | NJ Child Photographer | Essex County, NJ

I’ve really been neglecting this blog…but have a bunch of sessions that I can’t wait to share…

This session was almost rained out, until mom came up with a fantastic location for us (which shall remain nameless) in West Orange.   Not only were we able to shoot inside, but the rain held off as it often turns out, so we ventured outside as well.  Cloudy days can make for some beautiful sessions as the clouds really soften and diffuse the sunlight.   Never shy away from a cloudy day session!   Anyway, I always love when we have a variety of cool backgrounds and this little model was just adorable in both looks and personality.  Talk about easy-going!  He just played happily the whole time…

Thanksgiving… | New York Baby Photographer | Rockland County, NY

This family has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving…the most darling baby girl.  I normally do not do baby sessions at 1 month old.  The babies are past the newborn stage, do not sleep as well and still cannot hold their heads up for very long, so they are kind of at an “in-between” stage.  But when a friend of mine called me to request a session for a very special girl, I was happy to give it my best try.  Boy, am I glad I did!  She is just precious and I had the pleasure of meeting not only her parents, but her grandmother and great grandmother – a lovely family.   And four generations of women…how fantastic!   Here is their new little beauty…

Baby Love… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Bergen County, New Jersey

With all the outdoor fall sessions I’ve been doing, it was a nice change of pace to have a newborn shoot with this beautiful baby girl.  She was just a doll and slept so peacefully the entire time.  You may recognize her big sister in the last photo from a previous session – these parents have two of the prettiest girls around!

Autumn Angels… | New Jersey Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

These two were really sweet models and mom was quite the entertainer, I must say.  I’d love to have her around for all my shoots to make kids smile, laugh and even dance!   Combine two adorable kids, a silly mom and a scenic location at peak foliage and this is what can happen…

This darling boy… | NY Child Photographer | Rockland County

Sometimes my shoots seem more like play dates than photo sessions.  This darling boy was clearly having fun – laughing, giggling and running around.  I was able to slow him down for the occassional pose…but then it was back to the slide!  All in all, I’m loving the results and the fall colors made for a gorgeous backdrop.    Mom and Dad – you are always a delight to see and talk to…hope you like these as much as I do!

Fab four… | NJ Children’s Photographer | Bergen County

That’s right, four fabulous kids, and each one cuter than the next!   If you saw mom and dad, you’d know where they get their good looks from.  But I won’t include any family shots – I don’t want to spoil the Christmas card!

Eyes that sparkle… | NJ Child Photographer | Bergen County New Jersey

This family was referred to me by a friend and former client who described this little boy as very special…and indeed he was.  His eyes sparkled and his smile was infectious.  His mother told me that they wanted a slice-of-life style session and so as soon as I met him, I knew that this “sparkle” had to be captured.  He was playful, energetic and almost constantly giggling or laughing.  He kept us on the go,  directing us in the games we were playing – hide and seek, superhero, etc…   He was a joy to meet and photograph, as were his parents.  Here is a sneak peek…

Hello again… | Children’s Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

Well, since the busy season has started, my intention was to keep this blog post short…but I just couldn’t help myself.  I have so many that I love from this session I just kept adding them.   I will keep the words short though…just want to say that I first met this boy when he was only 4 months old and his big sister was two.  Now he is one year old, running and laughing and is just adorable!  His big sister is three and is just as beautiful as ever.  Take a look and see for yourself…
