Family photos in Ridgewood | Three kids, two parents and one dog

We chose downtown Ridgewood as a location for this Ridgewood family photo session – Ridgewood is so picturesque and has so many cool spots for family sessions – there is a park (great for little kids) and lots of urban spots (great for not-so0 little kids, like these three).    These guys were so so easy to photograph – they were relaxed and laid back and were cracking at each other’s jokes so much that I hardly needed to do anything to make them laugh!  I can only imagine the laughter in their house – when they are not being posed by a photographer:)

Being a dog person I love when people want to include their dogs in their family photos – dogs ARE family and as such I think they should definitely be part of family photo sessions.   And I was thrilled that these guys decided to bring their handsome golden retriever for their session – he, just like the other three kids, was very well behaved!
