First of all, if had to describe this family holiday photography session I would have to say it was certainly on point. They ROCKED their session, from the beginning to the very end. I love including family pets in my photo shoots, after all, they are part of the family, right? I cannot say it enough, but I truly enjoyed meeting so many new families this holiday season. Beautiful happy people make my day, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! And talking about beauty, check out this handsome fellow, he needs to be in magazines. Honestly, mom and dad best prepare because the girls are going to be mad crushing. But I am sure they know that already. ♥ “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”― A.A.

This shoot started out as a holiday session but surely didn’t end that way. I love when my clients are ready with a additional outfits. I think you can tell from these images that we had a great time shooting this session. ♥♥♥ TTFN ~R

Digging through some of my holiday sessions and I was reminded of this one. As always it is a joy working with this family, it’s been a pleasure seeing their cuties grow up. Will come back to share a 1st year cake smashing session, much fun was had. TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
I was so excited to work with this awesome family once again. I was amazed to see just how much little Miss “C” has grown since I last saw her. So we headed on over to the beach not far from their home, Mom and Dad picked an awesome spot, a little hidden beach, well I know I wouldn’t have known it was there had they not lead the way. Great weather and lots of fun, what’s better than that? Great pictures of course. ♥ TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
Most people are surprised when they learn I conduct a great majority of my photo sessions at my clients homes. There is just something so warming and beautiful in capturing families in their own environment. This session has to be a perfect example, I was having so much fun I was almost late picking up my own children from school. (No worries, I made it on time). I just couldn’t help it, these sweet girls were such a pleasure to work with. ♥ TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
Have you ever seen such a happy and smiley child? Well I am sure you all have but it just makes my day when a child is so comfotable with me that all they do is smile and laugh at the camera. It was a pleasure to see just how little “S” has grown and I cannot wait to meet soon to be baby #2….♥♥♥ TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
As you can imagine, I have worked with many little newborns but I must say I still gush everytime as if I haven’t seen a baby in forever. I just love the itty bitty babies. This little boy is another lovely example of why I love babies so very much, he was just so sweet and well very sleepy.

It’s a tough decision choosing which session I am going to post next, I want to share them all of course, only time escapes me. This beautiful family came to mind today as I was reminded how the light from the setting sun can be so heavenly; so I knew this would be the session I would share today. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
I am back to work and more than ready for 2011. This was one of my busiest holiday seasons EVER!! It’s time to share some of my sessions, its been a while since I have shared, my poor little blog has been neglected. So I will start with one of my superstar families. The energy in this home was right up my alley, its was a blast!!! More to come soon!!!! TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
I just had to take a moment to update this here blog and what better way then to show off another yummy itty bitty newborn. This little guy is definitely a keeper, aside from being just too cute for words, he was such a good little boy during our session, love it.

Meeting itty bitty babies is always a joy for me of course, but when you add two cute siblings into the mix you know the session is going to be GREAT!!! And this session is no exception, this family was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography | Maternity | Babies | Children | Teens | Family
I just love love LOVE working with repeat clients!!! For the most part, it gives me great pride in knowing that they continue to turn to me to capture their children through their many phases of childhood. I am eternally grateful to these families for welcoming me into their homes, or better yet, their lives so that I can capture them just as they are. I have many days that are crazy busy but I must say, even on the craziest day if I receive an email or a phone call from a previous client; it’s as if a long time friend is calling to say “hello”. With that said, I just have to share this very special family…And to you Mrs. “D”, you are so very blessed with your beautiful family, and most importantly, you are blessed with a great sense of humor, your emails/FB messages make me smile, and even laugh at times when you just say the funniest things. Its clients like you that remind me just how fortunate I am to do what I do. So to you and the many clients with whom I have worked with repeatedly, I say “THANK YOU!!!” TTFN ~R Ritz Rivera Childhood Photography […]
So I admit, when I hear the word “twin” I immediately think “identical”, boy have I learned how not think that way after working with quite a few set of twins as of late, and these two precious babies take the cake. I was blown away at how little Miss “S” looked so much like dad and how little Mr. “F” looked so much like mom, the most beautiful thing EVER!!!! What a gift!!! I was even more thrilled to see the goodies mom had purchased in time for our session. Its been a month of newborns with a few toddlers in between, am I in heaven or what?!?!
