ava | family portraits and connecticut beach photographer

A few quick announcements before we get to the photos of this beautiful little girl and her parents:

I will be on vacation from Friday, June 24th through Monday, July 4th. We are headed to Disney World and I cannot wait! I will have limited access to email, but most inquiries, session requests and voice-mails will be returned beginning on July 5th.

If you were hoping to book a summer session, availability is very limited. I have just a handful of July and August dates left. Availability for Fall and Holiday sessions will be announced via newsletter and on the blog later this summer.

And now, onto little Ava …

It was so much fun having little ‘g’ in my studio. Six months is one of my favorite ages to work with, and she was no exception. Such a happy, smiley little girl.

briana | connecticut baby photography studio

I photographed beautiful Briana a few days before her family moved out of state. Our original session fell on a dark, rainy day, and even in the studio there was NO light so we had to reschedule. Luckily we were able to fit the session in before they had to move! I absolutely LOVE baby sessions. That short window between sitting up and crawling it is one of my favorite stages to photograph.



Once they see the samples, parents fall in love with the canvases, albums and storyboards that I offer, and often include at least one of these products in their order. I always say that I am going to make a point to photograph and show more of these products, but usually I am so excited to deliver them to parents that I just never quite get around to doing it! Briana’s mom ordered a canvas (which, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to photograph) and a 9×9 session album. These albums are truly one-of-a kind, with a custom designed cover, a beautiful linen-blend spine and gorgeous, hand-assembled linen mat pages. Here are a few shots of Briana’s album:

Harry Hilders - Beautiful baby shots! Nice!

tj | professional newborn photographers in ct

Last week was school vacation week, which means that most of my time was spent entertaining the kids, shuffling them to play dates and playgroups, and keeping them from driving each other (and me) crazy. It also means that I have a lot to catch up on this week!

First up is TJ. He arrived five weeks early and was in the NICU for a bit, so he was just over a month old at our session. I had a wonderful time meeting and photographing him and chatting with mom and dad (who are clearly head over heels in love with their new baby boy).







And I just love this – a smile in action!

ryan | new haven and fairfield county newborn photographer

Sweet little Ryan was almost six weeks old when he came into my studio for his newborn pictures. I never know quite what to expect with older babies, since most that I photograph are quite a bit younger, but Ryan was a perfect little model. We were able to capture some wonderful images!
