T Family - Wyckoff Wildlife Center (New Jersey NJ Children Kids Family Photographer)

Another beautiful day in New Jersey! Late Sunday afternoon I met up with the T family at the Wyckoff Wildlife Center (one of my favorite places to photograph). Even though there was a huge Halloween festival going on and pony rides were blocking one of my favorite spots to shoot - we were able to capture some gorgeous photos of the girls and the family.

Mom dressed the girls in the cutest outfits and brought along the coolest hats! The girls were so sweet and very willing to "strike a pose" in front of the camera.

I started editing these pictures this afternoon and all I can say is "Wow"! These are two cute little girls who are going to be breaking some hearts in a few years! I could have photographed these two cuties forever. It was such an enjoyable session.

Thanks T. Family. It was great meeting you!

G Family October (New Jersey NJ Childrens Photographer)

Another beautiful October day in Jersey. Today I met up with the G Children for holiday photos and portraits. It was almost strange to photograph these gorgeous boys in the red holiday sweaters while Mom and I were sweating in our short sleeves. But I am not complaining - this is my type of photography weather. I had a great time photographing this family - and I even got to play on the jungle a bit with the eldest G boy. I brought my newborn son Matty with me to the shoot (a stipulation I have right now for weekday sessions until he is old enough to go to the sitter), he was not as well behaved as this two boys (a bit cranky) - but never the less we were able to get some fabulous pics. Thanks G family for inviting me to your home to photograph and thanks to Mom and Big Bro G for lending a helping hand with little Matty!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Happy Birtday to my little Matty (New Jersey NJ Newborn Photographer)

The newest addition to our family arrived at 8:23 am on September 24, 2009. Matthew Renner Dvorscak was 20 inches long and weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. He is a happy and healthy little man and we are just thrilled to welcome him to our family.

I've finally got around to posting a few (of the many photos) I've been taking of him.

Enjoy meeting the newest member of the Dvorscak family!

Newborn E (New Jersey NJ Newborn Photographer)

I love photographing newborns. Have I said that before? :-) They are always so cooperative just as long as we stop for a break when they get hungry. Little E was no exception. She was happy to model for us today and almost made it through the 1 hour session without a break.

We took the photographs of little E in her bedroom. The walls were painted in the nicest shade of pink - which we used as a background. She had beautiful furniture which we took advantage of it and even photographed her on top of a book shelf and even in a dresser drawer. Little E slept for the first part of the session and then woke up a bit about 1/2 way through. Once I saw those big beautiful eyes - I was so thankful that she decided wake up for a bit.

Here is a sneak peek of the photo session from today. Enjoy!

J Family - Entire Family - Part 2 ( New Jersey NJ Family Portrait Photographer )

As promised, here is part II of the J Family Sneak Peek. I truly enjoyed photographing this beautiful and fun loving family. This was quite a big group and we spent a lot of time making sure we got lots of pictures of all the different combinations of family members. I loved that the whole family participated in coming up with some posing ideas, including the one posted below of the kids jumping in the air - what a cool photo! I have to give a shout a to the Tia's who were also an important part of the day. . . I just love the reference to them as the Tia's. And of course special kudos to baby Grace who was awoken from her nap to participate in the last half of the family shoot - she was truly and Angel. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the 3 pups who also snuck in a few photos and Toby the golden lab who would have preferred to stay in the frame of all the pics - what a ham!

I'm so thrilled the weather held up for us - I think we just missed a serious rainstorm (which I drove through on the way home).

Thanks J family for inviting me to photograph your family. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

J Family - Baby G - Part 1 ( New Jersey NJ Baby Children Photographer )

The God's were smiling on us today. The forecast was calling for Thunderstorms all day. I even suggested rescheduling; however, we stuck with out original plan and it turned out to be a fantastic day to shoot the large J family. I spent 3 hours with the family and baby G and got so many great pics!

All of the members of the J family were such a pleasure to work with, including baby G - who modeled for us for 1 1/2 hours without complaint. She is one of the happiest babies (as well as gorgeous) that I have seen.

Since we took so many pictures today (can you believe that I could of taken about 100 more?) - I decided to post the sneak peek in two Parts. Below are a few from Part I - Baby G. I'll post Part II - the entire J Family soon.

I hope Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles and of course the Tia's enjoy this sneak peek of the sweet Baby G.

A Walk In The Woods

I've been keeping quite busy this summer; however, I definitely made sure I put aside some time for a little R & R. As we approach mid August I realize I only have 1 month left to prepare for the birth of my second son! Am I ready??? Not at all. Not even close. But my week away in the woods with my son, my friend and her daugther was definitely what the Dr. ordered. I am ready to start on Monday preparing the babies room, shopping for supplies I need (bottles, diapers, etc.) and saving the past 2 years of Charlie videos to hard media so that there is room for baby # 2. Hopefully I can accomplish this by Friday - as I am taking one last vacation before my due date. We are heading to the beach for a week! Yippiee!

For those of you who have been contacting me about fall/holiday pictures. . . I can assure you that I am also going to make some time this week to organize and finalize my fall photography schedule. Expect to see an email blast soon!

Note: The picture above is a favorite photograph of mine from last weeks trip to the woods. It's my friend and her daughter (edited using a funky new editing technique I recently learned) ! I think this is such a special picture!
