Just Right – Bergen County Photographer

I met this family a week ago and went to their home for a photo shoot today.  Beautiful house with big windows letting in natural light.  Fun, relaxed, playful family who allowed me to take exactly the kind of pictures I love most.  Here are some of them.  Enjoy!

Please leave comments for these guys.  25 or more comments and they will receive a set of adorable 3×3 mini albums!  And if you don’t have recent pictures like this of your family, don’t you think you should?  :)  E-mail me (maegandougherty@gmail.com) to schedule photography of your own family.

I had a great time with this family yesterday during our photo shoot at their home!

I love these next shots because it’s those seemingly insignificant, easily forgotten, every day moments, like lying on the floor with my little boys among toys and puzzle pieces that I want most to remember…

“Gaga told me to do the flat pieces first.”

Saturday – Bergen County Family Photos

We had no plans today and spent most of it relaxing at home, snuggling in bed and sitting in the living room watching movies.  It’s been so nice.  Paul and I keep looking at our little boys and then each other and smiling about how wonderful this time is.  I realized that we still had no pictures of the four of us and Jasper is already six weeks old.  So we took a few just before nap time in our favorite place…

Jenny Dalbo Lombardo - April 6, 2012 - 9:18 pm

adorable!

Kelly A Dougherty - March 4, 2012 - 7:48 pm

Enjoy,
Love from Montana.

Hangabers- NJ Family Pictures

I haven’t been taking enough pictures of my boys and there are so many moments I want to freeze and keep forever.  Xander and Paul went outside the other night to grill hamburgers and I just love the way Xander says “hangabers.”  I also love hearing him say “hosipital” and “nexuh,” as in, “Mommy, I think my baby brother wants to sit nexuh to me.”   He sings all the time lately and comes home from school with new songs to teach us.  This weekend we had fun with, “I have a friend who likes to dance and Daddy is his name.  Dance, Daddy, dance.  Dance, Daddy, dance!”  And then there are the songs like “This Land is your Land” and “You are my Sunshine” that we’ve always sung to him, and he’s now all of a sudden started singing with us.  His little voice is the sweetest sound.  Well, it’s a tie between his voice with the cute baby noises Jasper makes.  :)
