New Jersey award winning children and family portraiture bio picture
  • Hi there,

    I am Lena Antaramian, an award-winning children and family photographer and owner of Live Love Laugh Photos.

    I am a mom to very different but equally amazing twin girls and a wife to a smart and funny man. I love dogs, books and sunny spring days. I love all types of food, desert in particular; cooking it is a different story though. I love bags and believe you can never have too many.

    I am a world traveler and after visiting many countries, living in a few and meeting people from all over the place I truly believe that a world is a wonderful place and people at their core are good.

    I get teary-eyed when I witness emotional connections and moments – a hug between a mother and a daughter that shows more love that can ever be described with words, pure joy that is a belly laugh of a toddler, happiness on kids and parents faces when they are being silly together. And I feel very privileged to capture and help preserve them for my clients.

    If you would like to learn more about Live Love Laugh Photos you can check out our Press page. And don't forget to sign up for our quarterly Newsletter to be the first to know about specials, contests and tips about photography.

    I hope that I will get a chance to capture your moments of life, love and laughter!

Pregnancy portraits | Ridgewood New Jersey Maternity Photography

It is no secret that I love maternity photography – it is such a special time in a woman’s/family’s life and is a great milestone to be captured.   Sometimes couples tend to opt out of having pregnancy portraits done and choose to do only newborn sessions.  I truly believe that maternity portraits are so important – pregnancy goes by so fast and before you know it instead of a beautiful belly you’ve got a baby on your hands.  I have my own maternity portraits proudly displayed in my girls room – Mia and Alexa love looking at pictures of themselves in ‘mommy’s belly’.  And I myself love looking at them as well and reminiscing about a calmer time in our family’s life:)

So to make sure that many more women get to admire their own pregnancy pictures I am making maternity sessions more affordable!  In addition to my Signature Maternity sessions I am happy to offer a ‘Belly-to-Baby’ photography package for maternity and newborn portraits in Bergen County.  When you book a Signature newborn session with me (and truly, if you are thinking about a maternity session you most likely will do a newborn session as well), you can get this great Mini Maternity package for only $350!:

  • Maternity Session that will last around 30-45 minutes and will take place in Bergen County – Ridgewood or surrounding towns, such as Wyckoff, Glen Rock, Allendale
  • 12-15 hand-edited images
  • CD with all 12-15 hand-edited medium resolution images printable up to 8×10 so that you can make as many copies of them as you would like and share with family and friends
  • These sessions can include your partner/spouse and kids!

This package is not available a la carte and can only be purchased when a Newborn session is booked.

With a Signature Maternity Session you get to pick a location of your choice (they can take place anywhere in Bergen County, Hoboken, NYC – you name it!), you get a lot more images to choose from because these sessions take between 1 and 1.5 hours and can do several outfit changes and locations.  ’Mini Maternity’  sessions are all inclusive – i.e. you don’t need to purchase anything else as digital images are included in the package.  And while they are shorter than Signature Sessions and you have fewer images as result, they offer a great value!

And to give you an idea of what maternity portraits you can expect from your  ’Mini Maternity’ session here a few images from a ‘pregnancy’ session I had in Wyckoff a few weeks ago:

Snuggles | Bergen county lifestyle family photography

Here is a quick sneak peek for a family mini session in Ridgewood that I am working on.  Love this tender portrait – so timeless, yet classic and fun.  I can just picture them looking at this photographs years from now and remembering a sunny and warm afternoon they spent snuggling:)

Children portraits in Bergen County | Ridgewood NJ professional children photographer

Here is a quick sneak peek of a children portrait session I had recently.   Being primarily a children photographer and located in Ridgewood I photograph kids of all ages from all over Bergen County and while I love running after toddlers, there is something to be said about photographing older kids.  I loved photographing these guys – they were great to talk to and told me all about their family, found my jokes funny and were so darn cute! And being a freckle-face myself (you should see me in the summer – my whole face is one big freckle!) I am partial to these kids’s freckles – adorable, don’t you think?

Brown eyed boy | Ridgewood NJ Child Photographer

Look at this adorable little guy who came in for his photo session in Ridgewood?  He just turned 13 months so it was a great milestone to capture!  He is one of the most adorable kids I’ve ever met/photographed!  Cannot wait to get started on the rest of his images.
