Playful. Candid. Loving.
Where Joyful Moments Become Lasting Memories
Bergen County Outdoor Family Photos
My Bergen County family photo sessions are relaxed, guided, and focused on real moments. And everyone is happy outside! Plenty of room for kids to run around, find flowers, gaze at the birds in the sky.
I take a storytelling approach that leaves room for spontaneity, genuine connection, and all the in-between silly and funny moments that make your family unique.
A lot of your images will be candid and natural, with some looking at the camera. Simple prompts and easy games help everyone relax, have fun, and be themselves.
Let’s do this!

FAQs
-
I have several locations in and around Bergen County, NJ that I know well about. We might also do a downtown session if your family prefers more of an urban vibe. It’s all custom and we will discuss this well before your session.
-
Ideal start time is within 1.5 to one hour of sunset or within 1-2 hours after sunrise depending on the location, so the time varies depending on the season. On a sunny day, any sessions earlier of this time frame may not be easy to deliver exactly as you see on my portfolio. However, please let me know if you have tiny kids whose bed time is early so we can figure out the best time for your family.
-
When we set your outdoor session date, you will also pick rain date, so we don’t have to worry about find another date. I typically prefer to wait til the morning of the session to decide if we cancel or not. Please trust my experience and I reserve the right to decide if the weather is feasible enough for your session.

No, it doesn’t. The session fee covers session prep communication, the photo session, professional editing and retouching. Digital images can be purchased upon viewing of the image gallery.
-
After your booking is complete, you will receive comprehensive confirmation that includes how to prepare and what to wear. In general, you want to wear form-fitting, season-appropriate clothing that's not matchy-matchy, in your family's style. This blog post will help you what generally works for photos.
-
I know your dogs are family members. As long as the location allows (some parks don’t), you are welcome to bring your dog for the last part of the session so your session won’t become all about ‘managing’ the dog and trying to have them look at the camera.
