Meet Olivia, 10  days new.  She was so pretty in pink accents and ivory lace!  I took her brother Grayson's newborn photos almost 3 years ago and it's always such an honor to photograph siblings ♡

Meet Clare, 9 days new!  She is without a doubt the epitome of sugar and spice and everything nice...such a beautiful and sweet little one.  It was touching to watch her daddy play his guitar for her, she was literally mesmerized by the music, I'm so honored to have been able to capture such a special moment ♡

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue.  And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."   -Yip Harburg

Little Ethan is without a doubt a big blessing and a dream come true for his parents.   Words cannot express how thrilled I am for my good friend, Melissa, to realize her dream of becoming a mother.  She is already an amazing mom - a total natural - and Ethan is SO incredibly loved.  You cannot help but fall in love with him - he was an absolute sweetheart and I can't wait to share more photos as he grows! ♡

Who says you can't hit the beach in the fall?  Hole-in-the-Wall Beach was the perfect mix of autumn foliage and stunning water views.  I had so much fun capturing this insanely adorable family!  And I am obsessed with the golden hour light we got at the end ♡

This was my second year capturing memories for this beautiful family, and golden hour light did not disappoint :-)  I have done dozens of sessions at Harkness over the years, but never before in front of this old white barn/shed that caught our eye...it was the perfect backdrop though for these handsome boys and their dark blues ♡  I love finding new things!

Family Session in New London { East Lyme, Connecticut Family Photographer }

9/14/2021

I don't normally shoot mid-day because the light can be very harsh, but sometimes I will accommodate a family while there is still seasonal tree cover to coincide with nap schedules for very little ones.  While shooting at golden hour is ideal and what most photographers strive for, it's not always feasible.  Golden hour light is still without question my favorite, but I have to admit, I kind of love the warm, late summer glow the bright light gives these! ♡

I loved everything about this family session on the water...from the beach-y blues to the big, beautiful smiles!  The property has been in their family for generations which added an extra special touch.  They were all so lovely and so much fun!  And little Caroline and William were some of the most amazing child models ;-)

There is something so special and intimate about a family session at home.  I did pregnancy announcement photos for this beautiful family last fall, and was so excited to photograph them as a family of four now that baby Milo has arrived ♡

I shared lots of laughs with Claire, Bill and their four lovely daughters Claire, Celeste, Cheryl and Candace during their session last weekend in celebration of Claire & Bill's 60th wedding anniversary!  McCook Park in Niantic not only made a beautiful backdrop, but held many happy memories for all of them as East Lyme natives.  It was truly an honor to capture this special milestone for them ♡

I am SO excited to announce that my nephew, Archer, arrived a few weeks ago (and is quite possibly the cutest baby EVER! - totally not biased at all) ;-)  Check out all that amazing hair!  He made his entrance into the world just over 3 weeks early, luckily very healthy!  And my sister and brother-in-law got the greatest Christmas gift of all this year by being able to bring him home on Christmas Day ♡

I first worked with this gorgeous family in the fall of 2019 and had the honor of capturing more memories right before the holidays 2020.  They chose their lovely home as a backdrop, which added such an extra special personal touch to their session.  Love how these turned out!  These girls have the most beautiful smiles ♡

Maternity Session in Hoboken { Connecticut Maternity Photographer }

Hard to believe in just nine weeks, my new niece or nephew will be here!  I cannot wait to find out which one it is!  I captured a few more bump photos last weekend, this time in Hoboken, New Jersey.  We took advantage of the (unseasonably) mild weather as well as the amazing golden foliage along the Hudson, followed by a stroll through a quiet cobblestone alley.  I still think she's absolutely glowing ♡
