Milestones each step of the way.

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Meredith Ann

The major milestones in life that we often think of first include births, graduations and marriages. However, there are little ones that happen in between that are milestones too. This little one joined us at her tenth month for a mini session in the park, and she had many skills to show us. From smiling, to sitting up, to crawling; I loved seeing these proud parents enjoy every moment with her. So today I remind you all, don’t forget to celebrate the little steps in life! Each one a milestone of its own.

We certainly do love celebrating with these students as they embark on their final year in high school! This senior to be and her family met me at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford and I captured her gentle character through out the park. I included a family portrait at the end of session to show it’s not just the senior whose celebrating this great milestone!

We had a great time at Wolcott Park with this little toddler! He had no problem smiling for the camera and keeping us entertained the entire session. He was very eager to show off his soccer skills and his favorite friends Bert and Ernie. I look forward to photographing this little guy again and again!

From marriage to carriage in Elizabeth Park

We did mini sessions this spring in Elizabeth Park and for this couple it was the perfect spot! They were married in this very park and we had great fun recreating images from that special day. We just added one thing to the photos: a very cute little boy!

First new family in Connecticut!

Posted on July 13, 2014 by Meredith Ann

This past winter we had to make the difficult decision to divide the company between Georgia and Connecticut. While there were tears shed for this move, we knew in our hearts new clients would be found for half our company going to New England. Here’s to the best first session in Connecticut! This family was full of life and smiles, and the girls showed us all around this wonderful park! We are so grateful for the continuous work in Georgia and the new found work in Connecticut.

Dimensional Dancers

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Meredith Ann

I was approached by the choreographer and director of Dimensional Dance to capture a dress rehearsal at the Charter Oak Cultural Center. Her two female dancers were to perform the following weekend and she wanted some promotional photos for her website to help encourage attendance. Lavinia Dealy and Chloë Knopf are truly talented performers and I hope to work with them again in the future. I know they will continue to dance and perfect their craft.

Gifts from the heart!

With the holidays approach many are having special cards and gifts created. Last year we went to a senior citizen community and took holiday portraits. This dear lady took photos that she then used as gifts for her children and grandchildren. It was so sweet to see the sparkle in her eyes and help her with this precious idea. Enjoy your shopping and gift giving this year!

Clayton Christmas

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Samantha

It’s that time of year again. Find a tree, bring down the decorations, light it up – it’s Christmas time!! Now that it’s December, I’m okay with seeing Christmas things everywhere. I feel like it started so early this year. I will admit that we took our family photos for our Christmas card in November, but you almost have to in order to have your card done and sent out in time. So before Meredith moves up north, she came over for some Clayton bonding. We even gave the pups a bath right before she came over and gave them some bows. Even though our shoot wasn’t long, we had a lot of fun and now we want to share that joy with you!

Silly in love, true in love, forever in love.

This fall we had the pleasure of a double engagement session. They had many special places for their engagement photos so we split their time into two sessions. Here’s the second part at their wedding site with more fall colors. Between stealing kisses and whispers of love followed by giggles, this couple is headed for a lifetime of perfect true love! We look forward to joining them on their special day this coming winter.

Classic business headshots

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Meredith Ann

We’ve blogged a lot about babies lately so we thought we’d spice things up and bring you a simple classic headshot session. This young man was looking to have headshots taken for use on the internet as well as print. We used the natural backgrounds of mother nature and provided him with a variety of clothing choice. If you are in need of headshots contact us today. We’d love to photograph for you!
