This little cutie showed us lots of snuggles for bother mommy and her new baby brother as well as her independent side as we explored Elizabeth Park this past summer. Baby brother was a real champ as well, going from napping to being awake and passed around for everyone to love on. These two kiddos will have a great time keeping mom and dad on their toes for the next 18 years as they all grow in family love! 
This month Defy owners are celebrating big changes! One of us is moving her family into their first home while the other is being showered with love for the upcoming arrival of her first born. Such gratitude for all the growth! And what’s more is our gratitude for loyal clients. This family came to us in the spring and we photographed this little boy in what was probably our most giggle filled session! Then this fall they came to us to photograph again our little super star and his little baby sister to be. What joy we had to be honored with such a precious session in Bushnell Park. We wish this family joy filled weeks as they come to a close as a family of three and welcome their new baby in the new year. We look forward to meeting her!
Kids make the best models and ones like this little toddler remember us why we have the best job in the world! He was a great tour guide around Elizabeth Park and smiles came with great ease from all.
This summer I had the joy of meeting these three beautiful ladies. Three generations of love and this little princess enjoyed showing us how to give hugs and kisses and how to make a fishy face. These innocent blue eyes are ready to rule the world!
A good friend of ours joined us yet once again and this time he brought a friend with him! This lovely young lady had such a sweet smile and could handle any pose we threw at her. And when she was done, our little guy loved coping the same poses! We laughed so hard from all the cuteness!
Here is one proud dad! Surrounded by his beautiful young ladies and his lovely wife, there was lots of hugs, kisses and giggles this portrait session. These two little girls loved posing and smiling for me, and mom and dad were happy to smile too for the camera.
More fun in Elizabeth Park this summer with this new family. This was little guys first photo shoot and he did very well! He was eager to tell us stories with lots of expression. His older sister was excited to show off her pink shoes and a pretty dress she had. They were both fabulous troopers and I see many a great photos in their futures!
This family received a new baby boy this summer and during our session we got to capture the tender new relationships between everyone. Big brother was so gentle and even eager to hold his new friend. And had fun goofing around with daddy between takes. He earned his ice cream for sure! Grandma was even present for our session and so we were sure to capture her with her precious grandsons. Best wishes to this family as they continue on this new adventure as a growing family!
When we captured this bride and groom back in March for their engagement session we knew they were a relaxed laid back couple. And so their wedding reflected the same easy going vibe! From the simple ceremony background of the gorgeous upstate New York outdoors to the great BBQ dinner and dancing! There were very tender moments captured during the father-daughter dance and then during their first dance as a married couple. And the grooms one request was met with lots of motorcycle photos!
I had the pleasure of working for a friend who started her own candle making business. She uses recycled bottles and creates “organic soy candles infused with fragrant scents.” Stock The Bar Candles is located in West Hartford, CT but will ship anywhere in the United States! Check out their website. You can also learn more on their facebook page and see what local fairs they will be selling. These candles make great presents for this fall and upcoming holiday season!
