Capturing year after year

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Meredith Ann

This spring we photographed 2 young sisters for their annual birthday photos. Often after we hit the 1 year milestone, the photos dwindle away and we get busy with life and keeping up with our active little people. I know personally for our family we try to get at least one annual family photo to acknowledge growth and change. Working with these two sisters for their annual photos was very special to see how their personalities are developing and growing with time. One soft, gentle spirit and the other very adventurous and active! Happy birthdays to these sweet little ones!

My little models

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Meredith Ann

As a photographer, we often photograph everyone but our own little ones as we use our down time with family as a break from our work. But we should still be mindful to capture the light and love in our own families! I took the opportunity this past spring to capture some goofy, sweet, and serious faces of my two little models. I love them so much! Even when they decided they didn’t want to take a photo together.

A book themed birthday party!

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Meredith Ann

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!

Sometimes when kiddos grow up into young adults, people enjoy getting some fur babies for the continued cuddles and snuggles! This mama has a beautiful family of big kids and fur babies a like. Full of laughs and smiles, hugs and kisses, we had a great time capturing this family for their holiday portrait session. Call us today to schedule your family portrait with all the kiddos, fur babies included!

Always fun to include grandparents!

Family portraits are important but take them while visiting the grandparents and they can be made extra special! Captured in the summer time, we found a fun local park to chase around this adorable toddler, her parents and her grandparents. What a little cutie pie!

Milestones: High School Senior Portraits!

Posted on March 6, 2017 by Meredith Ann

There are many milestones in our lives and graduating from high school is one of them. I love working with these young adults, capturing their memories of their final year as a kid. Whether we include a uniform, an instrument or a special ribbon, every piece of a senior session marks true accomplishments and rewards. This particular young man was a joy to work with on his school campus. He was very agreeable to whatever mom or I requested and we even got the younger brother in a couple shots that mom then used for holiday cards. Best of luck as you finish your senior year!

Spring is on its way!

With the weather getting warmer and snow melting quickly, we are so excited to get back outside with you all for spring photos! These two cuties were a blast to have out to the park! There are lots of park choices through out Connecticut and we look forward to seeing you all this spring.

Maternity photo session

Posted on February 14, 2017 by Meredith Ann

“A boy and a girl sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes a baby in the baby carriage!” A year ago these new parents graciously included me in an hour of sweet joy as they prepared for parenthood. Now as they prepared for their baby’s 1st birthday, I know they have been filled with love for that little girl to the moon and back since day one!
