Dream big for the smallest moments

We got to join this precious family once again when their newest member arrived. What a home overflowing with love! Big brother takes his job very seriously as he tenderly cares for his baby sister. And while it doesn’t always happen, we are ecstatic we got to be a part of a big milestone: her first smile! We look forward to growing with these smiles for many years to come.

Growing in love!

To ring in the new year this family gathered for smiles on their front steps to show their new home AND their newest family member to be! This adorable little guy was very excited to share his big news: he was going to get a baby sister! We had a joyous time with them capturing this special occasion and look forward to meeting this new princess any day now. Stay tuned for those photos!

Family session turned announcement!

I scheduled this family’s photo session thinking we were just getting the annual shot for the holiday card. Boy, was I wrong! Out of the car hopped the brothers with t-shirts with writing on them. Before the parents even got to me, I’d read the news! So excited for this growing family and what fun to capture their announcement photo.

Girl power continued!

This beautiful little peanut comes from a long line of some of the most caring, supportive and loving women we know so we made sure to include all that love in her photo session. While Great Grandma is no longer with us, she was very present through her ring on Nana’s hand. We loved capturing the new love in this growing family.

Cousins make best friends!

We had the very special honor of capturing not one but two pregnant mamas! These sister-in-laws were expecting at the same time, and one gifted the other with a double maternity session. We used Wickham Park in Manchester, Connecticut. We had fun with blocks and ribbons for these future baby girl cousins. Check back again soon for their newborn sessions!

New favorite portrait location!

Due to a road race, this past Sunday we had to think quick on our feet and pick a new park location for our holiday portrait session. The dad of the family thought of this place and I am now hoping to find many more families to join me at this great spot! Stone walls, fun ruins for background textures, and great fall leaf colors. The Glazier ruins in South Glastonbury, Connecticut was a fabulous outdoor spot. Thank you to our flexible clients for going with the flow! We had fun with your boys and have loved watching them grow up. From showing off a lost tooth, to learning to pose themselves, and watching their personalities evolve has been a wonderful privilege over the years of capturing your family!

 

A book themed birthday party!

Possibly one of the cutest themes we’ve seen, we were invited to capture a special little girls book themed 1st birthday party! From the fabulous little caterpillar cake to the guest book being a children’s book, just about every character you would think of was included. And this darling little model was such an angel with her guests. From parents, to daycare teachers to mommy’s friends, she posed and smiled for us all afternoon. We would love to capture this wonderful milestone with you and your little tyke!
