Fun in James McFaul Park in Wyckoff photographing a large family

P. is a great client of mine, whose kids I’ve photographed for almost two years – you can see images from their family session in NYC here and here.   I always look forward to their sessions – I love watching the kids grow and change and I always have so much fun with them.  P. is absolutely hilarious – every time I get an email from her I end up bursting with laughter!

When she asked me if I was up for a challenge of photographing her two kids and four of her nieces and nephews I did not even think twice – I knew it would be a very interesting session. And it definitely was: her Mom and Sisters were just as nice as she was, the kids were happy to be running around in the ‘wilderness’ of New Jersey, I got a very nice workout running after them and everybody had a great time.  And as an added bonus I’ve got a great parenting tip that I will be implementing with Mia and Alexa soon – a ‘bonus points’ system where they get bonus points for doing something well and taken points away if they misbehave.   It sounds like a better parenting than my own old I ‘threat‘ system I’ve been using for a while now:)

So what do you get when you photograph SIX kids all under the age of 6?  You get a fun, fast paced and unpredictable session!    You get ender moments between a brother and a sister  that melt my heart and fun  moments between families.  This was probably the most challenging but the most fun session I’ve had in a LONG time!

This was probably the most challenging but the most fun session I’ve had in a LONG time!  I am working on the rest of the images and cannot to show them to you guys!
