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…
Capturing newborn photographs of your newest bundle of joy are some of the most important photos you will ever take. You will never be able to recreate those moments to capture of all their newborn wrinkles, tiny toes, feathery-soft hair, and sleepy smile. Those are the things you want to highlight in your baby’s first…
Photographers love to share the images that we create. We’re kind of like that 4-year-old who just colored the most amazing picture and just has to show it to everybody. And just like him, we live for those moments when people pour out tons of praise and love for our work. But I’m finding that…
A few years ago, when we thought our family was complete, my husband and I decided to get our family photographed. We wanted what everybody does, to capture the kids in their current state of adorable and have beautiful images of all of us as a family. So I found a photographer whose work I…
This week I did something that scares the heck out of me. I put fifteen portraits on display in Daybreak Coffee Roasters coffee shop on Main Street in Glastonbury. If you haven’t been to Daybreak, you simply must go. Why, you ask? So I have a long history with my friend, the cup of coffee….
Well, I just finished the bi-yearly task of changing out my family’s closets from warm weather clothes to cold weather ones.

How many times have you looked at your little one’s face and thought, “where did my baby go?” I must do it once a day; which isn’t hard for me since I have so many faces to look at. I find myself breathing in the scent of their hair and trying desperately to commit…
My Mother-in-Law has this one photo of herself from 50 years ago that she loves. Truth be told, the photo itself is a bit out of focus and very grainy. But she has held on to that photo for half a century because she looks good in it. She was young and had a body…
A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of little Cherub playing in the grass with a butterfly perched on her hand. It was a truly golden shot that brought back memories of youthful evenings spent chasing fireflies and mornings watching bunnies graze on dew covered grass. When we connect with nature, there is…
“Wow! Your camera takes good pictures.” I’m sure you’ve heard this exact comment before. If you have your camera in auto mode (like I did for YEARS) you probably think, “why yes, yes it does!” But when you see an image that a photographer made, it just looks better and you don’t know why. I…
