Meaningful Photographs

Meaningful Photographs are designed to tell your family’s story so you and your children can enjoy them now and in the future as they are passed down. Sometimes including objects or other photographs that are special or sometimes even recreating a story, these portraits are designed so that the viewer can look around the photograph and notice not only the subject but also objects or themes that are significant to your family.

At One Big Happy Photo, we create custom newborn photography experiences for discerning families in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. Each session is an opportunity to tell your baby’s story in a way that is artistic, safe, and deeply personal.
