Welcome to Pamira Bezmen Photography Blog.
I'm a photographer. I'm a mother. I'm a student of life. I'm a believer in love.
My blog is about my passion for life and photography, about children, the miracle of babies,
mothering, and maybe more.
I hope you find joy and inspiration in what you read.
Don't forget to check out my gallery and see my photographs,
and maybe I will get to photograph your family's precious moments one of these days...
Love and Light be on you today and every day… :)

2015 Year in Review | New Jersey Family Photographer Pamira Bezmen Photography
2015 Year in Review :) I wish I could make a collage large enough to capture all my favorite images from 2015. Of the dozens of sessions we've done and thousands of images we've created, I've put my heart and soul into each one. Thank you to all my clients for trusting their memories with me! I appreciate you beyond words can say.
Love,
-Pamira
What an amazing year 2015 has been. I was blessed with dozens of beautiful clients. I had the honor of documenting and sharing in on the journeys of hundreds of special individuals, many families and professionals. I gave a piece of my heart and art to each of you, and I am beyond thankful for all you have given me.
We made a point to sharing the prosperity you have afforded us, with many reputable and honest organizations, locally and globally, whose causes we believe. Pamira Bezmen Photography and the Montanez-Bezmen family has supported many well-meaning causes in 2015, including helping children who lost their homes in the Middle East due to war and territorial disputes, the hungry in our local community, under-privileged families in need, children in foster care, veterans and the blind, environmental causes, as well as protection of wild life and endangered species including polar bears, our very own American wolves, bears and more...
We donated our time, money and services with love and hope for a better world full of love and equality. Thank you for standing by our side, supporting us and making this possible.
We hope to do more in 2016. Please stick with us, and let's do more together.

1st Twin Birthday: Charlie & Mason | by NJ family photographer Pamira Bezmen Photography
Oh how special the 1st birthdays are! Take that, and multiply by two. One girl, one boy - double the excitement, double the fun, double the photos :)
I had such a lovely time photographing this sweet family. I can't tell if I fell for Charlie or Mason more, all I know is that I could just eat them up. The expressions, the big lovely eyes, the dimples, the chubby arms and legs. Happy birthday, cuties! May all your life be full of celebrations so special, happy, and full of love.
Love,
- Pamira

Max is One | 1st Birthday Professional Portraits by Award-winning New Jersey Photographer, Pamira Bezmen Photography
Wow, wow, wow, has it really been a year since I met you, little precious love? Were you really only all of a few pounds big and 4 days old? Did you really fit in a salad bowl, sparing plenty of room for stuffing a blankie for comfort and support?
Well, apparently yes. Maximus Constantinos Antonakos. Happy 1st Birthday! You are deeply loved and always will be. I am honored to be your photographer, and dare I say an adoring friend of your family.
Happy birthday, little man! We all love you!

Baby Liam | New Jersey newborn photographer Pamira Bezmen Photography
Our first "hello" was when he was still in his mom's belly for her "Gorgeous Mama & Belly Angel" session. (one of my images from that session got the seal of approval at the Professional Photographers of America Northeast District Photographic Competition in the spring of 2015. click here to see the merited image). And then he came to visit me in the flesh, precious as can be. Welcome dear Liam! What a joy to meet you and be able to photograph you in the loving arms of your mommy and daddy!

Welcome Jason | New Jersey newborn photographer Pamira Bezmen Photography
For the past 2 years I've been participating as a donor in the F.N. Brown Elementary School Tricky Tray. My dear friend, ex-colleague, and client Jen is on the committee, and I am so glad I can take part. It is a wonderful opportunity for me to help a school in my local community, and also put smiles on the faces of sweet families who win my complimentary photo sessions.
This year, the winners were Rachel and Mike, who showed up with a handsome little bundle of joy to collect their gift. And boy did I fall for them! You'll see why when you scroll down to see the photos I took of them and their lovely Jason.
Our True Colors - Red, White, and Blue, and Violet, Green, Yellow, too | NJ family photographer
Our True Colors - Red, White, and Blue, and Violet, Green, Yellow, too
by New Jersey's award-winning portrait and family photographer, Pamira Bezmen, of Pamira Bezmen Photography
As we gear up for a weekend of family, friends, and celebrations, decorated with flags of Red, White and Blue, I am once more proud to be an American.
Just like in all communities, we have imperfections and issues that need fixing. And we raise our voices until the cows come home or until those issues get fixed. But this week, I am very happy that on this weekend of flags Red, White, and Blue, we also get to celebrate some other colors. Beautiful colors. Colors of love, equality, humanity, caring, tolerance, and freedom. We get to celebrate the Yellows, the Oranges, the Violets, the Greens... The colors of the rainbow!
We get to celebrate the men and women of this great nation who previously felt left out, suffered, and had to carry broken hearts in their chests, never feeling like they truly belonged. In the land of the free, they were not free.
Finally in our grand union where we say "all men are equal", we are a bit more equal. Equal to love and marry as our hearts desire. Finally we are recognizing that love is universal and that it is the ultimate freedom to choose who we love.
As I always say, if marriage is a legal contract that is a choice and a privilege - or a prison and a curse, depending on how you look at it - all citizens should have equal access to it. And now they do.
In the end, love won. This, to me, sounds like a real good Independence Day!
Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone! Be safe. Love to your heart's content. And keep your loved ones close.
Love,
- Pamira

One Man, One Rock, One Love for Life: Happy Fathers' Day!!!
by New Jersey family photographer Pamira Bezmen
Hold on, hug tight, love big, and say it to your dad this weekend! Happy Fathers' Day to all the amazing dads out there. Thank you. We love you!
A special thank you to my own magical father... I wish he were here to celebrate his day together, but I know he can feel my love from where he is. I love you daddy! You are my one never ending love!
And many thanks to my dear fiancee, Shawn, for being a great dad to our daughter Shaya. I hope that she will get to experience all the joys of being an independent, confident, and strong woman, with the unshakable love of her adoring father. Thanks, babe, for all that you do for us and especially our little girl.
- Love,
Pamira

Welcome Aiden: Newborn Portraits, NJ family photographer, Pamira Bezmen Photography
It was perfect timing that Aiden came into the loving arms of his sweet mom and dad, just as I returned from my overseas trip, perfectly in time for our newborn portrait session :) Starting a journey with maternity images with dear Sarah and Renato (click here to see Sarah's Belly Angels session on the blog), I had been involved in the sweet anticipation since January. And here we are, finally meeting the handsome boy we've been expecting for months. A precious, handsome, peaceful little love, with all the beauty of his mom and dad...
Here are some images from our Newborn Angel Portrait Session in my studio in Verona, New Jersey. Aiden was 14 days old when we made these images.
Welcome, dear Aiden! We love you!

only Mama's kiss can make one smile that way :)
handsome dad, handsome son
