Ezra Stein's One Year | Glen Ridge New Jersey Photographer

Backyard portrait session for family of six

As a Glen Ridge New Jersey photographer, I love getting to capture babies from newborn to toddlerhood! This sweet girl is no exception! I had the privilege of meeting baby Ezra as a newborn (and while mom was pregnant), as you can see below. Seeing her blossom from infant to toddling baby is such a gift! She still has the sweetest smile and her little baby rolls are almost edible! I’m so glad I got to capture her as a one year old!

As a Glen Ridge New Jersey photographer, I love working with bigger families - although there are more people to coordinate, there are so many fun candid moments to capture too! And an endless number of combinations for groupings. Some families hesitate to book sessions because they feel like it’s too much work or too many people to corral, but I personally thrive in this arena! I love to capture the in-between moments as much as the posed ones.

Although Ezra, of course, is the baby and the “reason” for this session, there are three additional children to include! This session meant a focus on not only on the birthday girl, but on big sisters and big brother too! I was already familiar with the Stein’s beautiful home from Mom’s maternity session (her newborn session was also in their home) - they have a gorgeous backyard with so much beautiful greenery surround!

Fun fact - I’ve actually known the Steins for years. We all met back when we lived in NYC, before moving to the suburbs of NJ. I just adore them and feel so fortunate that we’ve been able to stay connected and I’ve been able to watch their family grow. When they were looking for a Glen Ridge New Jersey photographer, they wanted someone to capture their family candidly and I’m so glad I had the honor of doing that!

I am now located in south Florida. If you’re looking for a photographer in West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, Parkland, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, I’d love to chat. And if you’re ready to book your at-home family session, contact me here!
