Having recurring clients (who have become real friends) is a family photographer’s dream. Being able to watch families grow through births, first steps, toddler stages, and more is such a joy and an honor. I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to meet new families who are venturing through parenthood and life…
For this adorable one-year session, Jacob’s mom wanted to capture him at this loveable toddler age—because what parent wouldn’t?! One-year-olds have a way of making even the most stoic personalities erupt in laughter. Their charming clumsiness and precarious moves make us a little nervous, but they also fill our hearts with joy. Their love of…
When it comes to your newborn, you want the absolute best for them, and that includes their safety and health. So when you are a scheduling newborn photo session, I understand why some parents feel hesitant and ask many questions beforehand – they should! More important than capturing beautiful first photographs of your brand new…
For this beautiful newborn session, I had the pleasure of photographing the daughter of a local television news personality. Meghan does it all and also has her own lifestyle blog where she talks about pregnancy, health, beauty, fashion, home topics, new parenting, and other things. She’s so talented, and I really enjoyed getting to know her during…
I loved having the honor of capturing this amazing family’s newborn photos. They are a moving military family, and at the end of their tour here in Connecticut, they are headed down to Washington, DC. Dad is a Navy submariner, and Mom is an artist. This shoot was a great opportunity to tell him ‘thank…
This bright, cheery session was so much fun! This was the sixth time I have photographed this family. Here’s their very first maternity and newborn session featuring their bundle of joy Zane – I can’t believe how much this little boy and his big (or should I say older) sister have grown since then! Zane is…
I remember vividly what it’s like after giving birth. Everything is such a whirlwind. Changing rooms, changing nurses, watching the clock and not knowing if its 3pm or 3am – it all blends together. After my first child, I remember thinking that it was nothing like the movies. You’re exhausted and elated and a little…
After photographing gorgeous mamas and sweet little babies professionally for over five years (and after having four fun kiddos myself), I’ve come to know the stages of pregnancy quite well. I know about when the majority of expecting mothers look their best to show off their growing bump without feeling overly strained or tired. So…
This is one of my FAVORITE photography sets, and boy, did Alex play his part in the shoot. What a handsome little prince he was! about this sweet cake smash session Grandma wanted to give her son and his family the gift of a photography session to celebrate their grandson’s first birthday. Together, they decided…
Double the cuteness, double the fun! I always enjoy the chance to photograph twins when the awesome opportunity arises – what a blessing to have two little bundles of joy! I didn’t realize until I became a newborn photographer that there are actually more twins born than you might think. Over the years, I have adopted…
When planning for a newborn session, don’t forget to include yourself! I know that the transition back to normalcy and finding a new family balance and routine can be challenging in the weeks following the birth of your baby. Some parents worry that they will look tired, or some mothers feel a little uncomfortable in…
I can’t say enough about how much I love my job! Every day I get to see families filled with love, little kids with giggles galore, and brand-new babies who can light up a room even as they sleep. Every moment is just filled with so much happiness—yes, even when the kiddos are a little…
This lovely couple has been together since they were fourteen years old! Their love story was so sweet to hear, and I couldn’t wait to get them in the studio for their gorgeous baby girl’s newborn session. They’ve been engaged for several years, but as we can all attest, life just got so busy and…
This is the grand finale for this sweet family. Baby Rhys (pronounced Reese) rounds out their family with two gorgeous girls and now two handsome boys. Mom and Dad have done a newborn session with every baby, so this was the fourth one’s turn, and they also wanted a great portrait of all four kids together….
The beauty of photography is that no individual style or theme is better than another. Amazing images can be created outdoors or in the studio and range from simple and classic to charming and whimsical. When planning your newborn session, you have so many options to choose from in order to find a style that…
Each new family addition brings a new dimension and unique joy to the family as a whole. The arrival of the second (or third or fourth) child is just as exciting as the first. As parents, we can’t wait to watch their little personalities unfold over the next few years and see how they will…
If you’re expecting a new addition to your family, highlight your beautiful nine-month journey through pregnancy by booking a maternity photography session. A maternity shoot lets you capture the joy that you feel as you anticipate Little One’s arrival and show off your radiant pregnancy glow. This stage is short yet monumental for your family,…
Are you expecting your first (or second or third) baby and excited to get that newborn session on the books? Wondering when is the best time to capture that blissful newborn stage? Depending on what you are going for, there’s a pretty short window for capturing the true newborn look—as you probably already know, they…
“Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” Since baby Kairis was born during the winter season, I thought that would be fun to include many snowy and cozy themes for her newborn session. When doing newborn sessions, I like to add fun backdrops, props, and outfits that portray a…
Most of us have learned by now that life is full of surprises and sometimes things don’t go exactly as we planned—sometimes they go even better! These two parents missed out on their maternity/couple’s photography session because Baby Gabriel was born crazy early at 32 weeks and 3 days at only 3lbs 7 oz. Although…
