YWCA Ridgewood Newcomers Holiday Boutique | Ridgewood, NJ | Children’s Photographer

I think I mentioned before that I am participating in the YWCA Ridgewood Newcomers Holiday Boutique being held next Thursday, November 19th. I still haven’t decided what promotion I’ll be running, but it’ll be a good one! I’ll be announcing it soon. I’ve also spent all week getting my display ready and am so excited…

Come check us out!

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

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! 🙂

Picture perfect… | Children’s Photographer | Central Park, NYC

…both the children and the location could not have been any more gorgeous. Even the weather cooperated, after it seemed like the rain would never dry up. I love how these children were dressed – especially the bows in the girls’ hair. And Central Park of course is filled with beautiful scenery and details. Here are a few favs…

Cousins… | Child & Family Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

A family of five is a lot to shoot in one session…but I have to say, these guys made it easy. Two sisters and the three brothers; easy and fun to work with and each one is cuter than the next. Check out THESE fresh faces! Aaaah… to be young.

~2009 Exclusive Holiday Special~

The holidays are right around the corner…

and I’ve only got a few openings left on my 2009 calendar. As a special gift this season, I am offering $100 off any of my collections to the next two one people to book a session with me for this year!

This season, why not give the gift of a timeless photographic keepsake. Prints, storyboards, photo boxes or coffee table books make wonderful gifts for family and friends.

(better hurry!)

Ten Days Young | Newborn & Baby Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

This precious baby girl was ten days young when we had her session, and was a fantastic sleeper. (After two weeks, newborns don’t tend to sleep quite as soundly, making posing a lot trickier! ) The fuzzy blanket and space heater kept her nice and warm while I clicked away. When she did wake up, mom was right there and I was able to capture some beautiful moments between them. I also got some stunners of her older brother who is 22 months. I LOVE his long hair and beautiful, dark eyes….

Little Peanut | Newborn & Baby Photographer | Bergen County, NJ

I love shooting newborns. This little guy was only 2 weeks old and so adorable. He was nice and sleepy so getting him into his peanut wrap went pretty smoothly. I just love these puffy lips…

The Last Days of Summer | Child & Beach Photographer | Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ

Saturday of Labor Day Weekend could not have been a more beautiful day…the kind of summer day you never want to end. When we arrived for our session at 5:30pm, the beach was still packed. We had to work around a crowded beach…and I had to work a little photoshop magic, but I love these images of sun-kissed kids enjoying the last days of summer.
