Snow | New Jersey children photographer

Wow, what a busy few months it has been! Now that things are slowing down and the last of my orders are being completed, I can finally slow down a bit and start to enjoy the Holiday Season. And of course, now I have time to photograph my own girls:)

We had our first major snow storm here over the weekend and Mia and Alexa spent most of Sunday morning looking out at the snow:

So Victor and I bundled them up and took them outside to play with snow. Only the reaction we got was not quite what we were expecting:

Alexa did not even want to stand in the snow, so Victor had to carry her. She did like to look down at it though:)

And now a quick calendar update. I am now taking reservations for 2010 so if you are interested in having a session with me please email me at Lena@LiveLoveLaughPhotos.com or call me at 917-647-6385.

Best dressed | NJ family photographer

Everything was perfect for this session - a stunning location, weather that finally cooperated, soft light. And what these guys were wearing was an added bonus - I could not have imagined better outfits! This family is definitely on my best dressed list:)

The kids were being kids - running laps around the trees and playing with leaves but did cooperate with me for a little bit. And at the end of the session they were showing off their new trucks and Leapsters and calling me 'Aunt Lena' - so cute!

Enjoy your preview and a lot more pictures to come soon!

'Half-sleeping' beauty| New Jersey newborn photographer

I photographed this little beautify when she was just a week old. Her Mom told me that the day before the photoshoot she slept all day long and had to be woken up for feedings. Well, it seems that she wanted to make up for that because the day of the photoshoot she was wide awake for at least half of the session:) Her Mom and I worked hard to put her to sleep and in the end I was able to get some sleepy, cuddly baby images.

And her big sister was such a doll - at first hiding from me under the table but eventually warming up and giving me some of the biggest smiles I've seen! :)

Live, Love, Laugh |New Jersey children and family photographer

We had to rescheduled this session one due to rain and I was worried that we would need to reschedule it once more because it threatened to rain all day. Fortunately the weather cooperated! The kids were great - 'helping' me make each other AND their parents laugh. I believe I was able to capture a few moments of life, love and laughter for this family!

A girl with many moods | New Jersey children photographer

It was such a pleasure to photographing this adorable young lady again.  She went through several changes of wardrobe and moods - from thoughtful to playful to just plain silly!  Enjoy your sneak peek and look forward to photographing you again in the fall.

Twice the fun | NJ children photographer

This week I photographed such adorable twins!   The little girl met with such a beautiful smile that just melted my heart.  And although her brother was a bit more reserved on the 'smiling front' we were able to get a few smiles out of him as well:)

Enjoy your preview!

Double trouble | New Jersey children photographer

We've been planning this session for a while and had to reschedule it several times due to uncooperating weather, scheduling conflicts, etc.  But it was definitely worth the wait - the girls were great little models and such a pleasure to photograph!

Enjoy your preview!

Big sisters and a little brother | New Jersey children photographer

I had such a great time photographing this family - two big sisters and a little brother.    The girls were great help in changing their little brother's mood from this:

A day in the zoo | New Jersey children photographer

This was Mia and Alexa's first trip to the zoo and they loved it.  They were pointing at all animals and babbling in their baby talk as if telling us 'did you see THAT?!!!'.  The girls had a blast - we will definitely be back.

Family fun part 2 | New Jersey children photographer

I realized that whenever I have a 'session' with the girls I end up focusing on one of them.  This time around Mia was the 'girl of the hour'.   She is fascinated with her belly lately and I am very happy that I was able to capture that for all prosperity:)
