Does it get any cuter than this little guy?

Mom chose this image (one of my favorites, too)…

and ordered it in a 16×24 canvas:

A product photographer I am not, but, trust me, it’s gorgeous!

lucy | fairfield county newborn photographer

I’m still not entirely convinced that mom needed to hire me since she takes beautiful photos herself, but I was honored to be selected to photograph sweet little one week old Lucy. Also intimidating? They’ve had family pictures done by the incomparable Tara Whitney. I must admit I’m a bit jealous!

Thank you ‘W’ family and congratulations on your newest addition!

Jennifer Woodbury - Yes, we absolutely did need to hire you! So nice to let somebody else do the work and actually be in a picture or two for a change. Thank you for capturing Lucy so beautifully!

more babies! | connecticut newborn photographer

Doing my best to keep the blog current! Here are a few favorites from a couple of recent newborn sessions:

First, little ‘L’. This adorable little guy was born a few weeks early, so he was already almost three and a half weeks old at his first official photo shoot. For newborn photography this is considered “over the hill”, but he slept and posed like a champ!

This beautiful little California girl is baby ‘N’. Mom and dad, I hope that you had a safe trip home and are enjoying every minute with your precious little gift!

summer session schedule update | ct baby, child and family photographer

Summer openings are almost fully booked! I have one open weekend left before September, so if you were hoping for a summer session, perhaps at the beach or a favorite park, now is the time to book it. My current availability is as follows:

June – Fully booked.

July – Weekends are fully booked but I do have a handful of weekday and evenings openings.

August – One weekend left!

Newborn Sessions – Babies are best photographed during the first 10 days life, so it’s never too early to book your newborn session! Even with a full schedule, I will always try to squeeze in a newborn session whenever possible, so please contact me even if you don’t see any availability listed.

My schedule is always changing and slots do open up on occasion so I also keep a waiting list. Please contact me if you would like to add your name.

I will also be opening up the fall schedule shortly, so if you would like to add your name to the mailing list and be the first to be notified of fall and holiday session availability just email me at kelli@kellidease.com.

And now a few favorites from a recent evening beach session at Rocky Neck State Park:

twins … all grown up (almost) | natural light family photographer

It wasn’t that long ago that I got the privilege to photograph these two beautiful little boys as newborns, and here they are sitting up and walking (well, half the set is walking)!
Mom, dad and big sister joined in the fun this time. This session was done on the campus of Quinnipiac University, where mom and dad met.
