Oak Ridge Park, Winter Family Photos- Clark, NJ

November brought a joyful family session at Oak Ridge Park in Clark, NJ—a perfect spot for this energetic and fun-loving family. I’ve known this mom for years, first meeting through a networking group where our businesses connected and a friendship formed. It has been such a pleasure watching her family grow, and I was thrilled to capture updated photos of their vibrant 3-year-old daughter.

Three is such a fun age for a photo session. Kids at this stage are full of energy, silliness, and curiosity, and this little one was no exception. The goal was to let her be herself—no stiff poses or expectations—and instead, we embraced the natural, carefree moments. Her joyful personality shined throughout the session, from her big smiles to her playful energy, and she looked absolutely adorable in her winter beanie!

It was a chilly November day, so the family bundled up in jackets, and we leaned into the season. The crisp air and cozy layers only added to the charm of the photos, reminding us that capturing life as it happens—weather and all—makes the moments real. Whether running around the park or sharing snuggles with mom and dad, the love and connection within this family was so heartwarming to document.

These photos are a beautiful reminder of how fleeting this stage of childhood can be. At 3 years old, her personality is evolving, and in just a year, she will be so different. I hope these images serve as a cherished keepsake, preserving the laughter, energy, and sweetness of this season of their lives.
