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!

New job for big sister to be!

Before little one arrives, we thought we’d share the final family portraits as a family of three. This big sister to be was a bundle of energy running through Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT. She will make a great teacher of running and jumping and smiling for the camera! We look forward to meeting and photographing the new addition in just a few weeks!

Newborn baby girl is a perfect little model!

We had the great joy of meeting and photographing this little angel! She was such a good sport being passed around the family members and had many outfit changes. She’s a great little model in the making! With bows and rings and other special props, her first photo shoot was a success!

Wide eyes at 1 year old!

This curious little boy had quite the 1 year birthday! He helped with opening his presents, enjoyed a lion birthday cake and showed us his favorite toys during a private photo shoot. This is one happy and lovable little guy. We here at Defy would love to photograph him every day! Best wishes to mom and dad as they head into year 2!

Countryfied Family Photos!

This mom requested updated family portraits that would capture her families fun country personalities! We enjoyed using a local park with some country flare for our setting. The boys were great supports about doing this session in chilly weather and they entertained us with facts about Stephen Hawking as we traveled around the park!

A newborn baby is always precious!

Ten little fingers, ten little toes, one fabulous bundle of joy! A new mother hired us this fall to capture her wonderful little son. He was so agreeable; he let us move him around and even get a few naked shots. Best wishes to this new mother!

Awaiting a new member of the family!

What a joy to see the excitement in an expanding family! Even big brother was excited to tell us where his baby sister currently resides. We had so much fun with this maternity session and wish this family big blessings as they continue to nurture the newest edition.

Family Fun at East Cobb Park

Now that spring weather is here, we are looking forward to outside shoots, like this one! This family is moving due to the dad’s job. His wife wanted to make sure he had updated family photos to put in their new place. It was a fantastic shoot with a beautiful, energetic little girl. Even Grandma made it in a few shots! We look forward to more shoots like this!
