It’s been a while since my last post (over six months, but who’s counting?), and there’s been so much happening at Kelli Dease Photography! If you haven’t been following along on Instagram or checking your inbox for studio updates, here’s a little recap of what’s been going on—and what’s coming up soon.
New Website, Same Timeless Style
I recently gave my website a complete refresh! It’s now easier to navigate, with updated galleries, session details, and helpful information to make booking a breeze. If you’re new here—welcome! I’m Kelli, a newborn, maternity, and family photographer based in Farmington, Connecticut, with over sixteen years of experience working with families in and around Connecticut. I specialize in creating timeless, light-filled portraits that capture the beauty of your family’s most special moments. Whether you’re expecting a new baby, celebrating a milestone, or just want to freeze time with your little ones, I’d love to work with you!
Kicking Off the Year with Fresh Headshots We started 2025 with a headshot special, giving clients the opportunity to update their professional images with fresh, polished portraits. Whether for LinkedIn, business websites, or personal branding, these sessions were a hit! If you missed out, don’t worry—I offer professional headshot sessions year-round.
Model Call for New Studio Looks Earlier this winter, I held a model call to test out some new lighting techniques and photograph some beautiful new additions to the studio wardrobe. These sessions were an amazing way to refine my craft while giving clients a chance to be part of something creative and fun. If you love the idea of getting in front of the camera for a styled shoot, keep an eye on my Instagram and join my email list so you’ll be the first to hear about the next one!
Mini Sessions for Milestones & More I also introduced a special round of Limited Edition Mini Sessions—perfect for capturing a quick family portrait or marking a milestone without committing to a full session. If you’ve been meaning to book a session but felt like you just needed a few great images, these minis are a fantastic option.
New! Birthday Sessions One of the most exciting additions to the studio this year has been Birthday Sessions! These quick, affordable mini sessions are designed to capture your child at any age, from their first birthday to double digits. If you want a few beautiful, timeless portraits of your little one without a full-length session, this is the perfect way to document their special day.
What’s Coming Up? ? Spring Session Giveaway – Our annual giveaway is just around the corner! Be sure to follow along on Instagram and sign up for emails so you don’t miss out on the chance to win a free session.
Spring & Summer Outdoor Sessions in Connecticut – As the weather warms up, we’ll begin booking outdoor sessions in late April. These sessions take place in my favorite field in Simsbury, CT, and are scheduled an hour before sunset to capture that dreamy, golden evening light. Whether you’re looking for updated family portraits, maternity photos, or milestone sessions, now is the time to plan ahead!
Of course, in-studio sessions are available year-round! Our cozy, Farmington, CT studio offers a variety of sessions including newborn photography, maternity sessions, baby milestones, headshots, and cake smash and birthday portraits. If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, now is the perfect time to get on the calendar!
