'True love is not the number of kisses, or how often you get them, true love is the feeling that still lingers long after the kiss is over.'  -Anonymous

I am so honored to have been witness to Nancy and Jim exchange their wedding vows after being together for more than fifteen years! ♡  They chose the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina in Niantic, Connecticut as their stunning backdrop. The love and joy between these two elopers was simply infectious, and I wish them all the best in their new [married] life together!  

Beautiful Briar joins big brother, Hunter, who I also first met as a newborn, and had the pleasure of documenting throughout his first year!  Opinionated Miss Briar (and a very gloomy day) presented me with quite the challenge at times, but I am in love with the sweet details and simple honesty that exude from this session, which is really what newborn sessions are all about ♡

It was so mild yesterday, it was hard to believe  it was mid-December!  There is something very wintry however about the bright blue-hued wardrobe this family chose, which I just love.  I had so much fun working with these kids...SO much personality!  And I think 5-year-old Darcy is ready for her modeling contract ;-)

I'm not sure which shone brighter during our late afternoon walk through the woods...the amazing golden hour light, or the love this family shared for each other ♡

I have been photographing lovely Maya since she was just four months old...she never fails to disappoint with her playful spirit and big blue eyes!  She also has (hands down) the best pout I've ever seen!  I give you Maya, at age 2!

Sweet, sleepy, and satisfied - that was handsome little Ethan in a nutshell!  He was 14 days new, perfect in every way, and so content he even gave us a tiny smirk ♡  

I absolutely LOVE sessions where I have so many favorites, it's hard to pick which ones to blog!  Tara is such a stunning mom-to-be and natural in front of the lens, that she really made it difficult to choose!  Congrats guys on your little girl (due to make her appearance in July)!  

And just like that, in the blink of eye, sweet Callan is ONE!  Just over a year after I photographed his mama's baby bump, he has blossomed into such a little man!  This birthday boy was quite serious about that cake (as he should be), you do only get a first birthday once.  We had SO much fun watching him make that mess!  

I love when I get to follow babies as they grow!  My journey with handsome little Callan began before he was born, with mom Angel's maternity session back when there was still snow on the ground.  I then had the opportunity to capture him as a sweet newborn, and here he is looking like such a big boy with a budding personality!  I can hardly wait for his 1 year session this winter!
