More fun in Elizabeth Park this summer with this new family. This was little guys first photo shoot and he did very well! He was eager to tell us stories with lots of expression. His older sister was excited to show off her pink shoes and a pretty dress she had. They were both fabulous troopers and I see many a great photos in their futures!
This family received a new baby boy this summer and during our session we got to capture the tender new relationships between everyone. Big brother was so gentle and even eager to hold his new friend. And had fun goofing around with daddy between takes. He earned his ice cream for sure! Grandma was even present for our session and so we were sure to capture her with her precious grandsons. Best wishes to this family as they continue on this new adventure as a growing family!
When we captured this bride and groom back in March for their engagement session we knew they were a relaxed laid back couple. And so their wedding reflected the same easy going vibe! From the simple ceremony background of the gorgeous upstate New York outdoors to the great BBQ dinner and dancing! There were very tender moments captured during the father-daughter dance and then during their first dance as a married couple. And the grooms one request was met with lots of motorcycle photos!
I had the pleasure of working for a friend who started her own candle making business. She uses recycled bottles and creates “organic soy candles infused with fragrant scents.” Stock The Bar Candles is located in West Hartford, CT but will ship anywhere in the United States! Check out their website. You can also learn more on their facebook page and see what local fairs they will be selling. These candles make great presents for this fall and upcoming holiday season!
I had the privilege of photographing two very special girls. My flower girl and her little sister who arrived 2 months after our wedding! We checked out a new playground and these two ran around showing me all the exciting slides and features to the play-scape. I even got to see how to make a dress twirl! The playground we choose is brightly colored purple and yet it is one created from a tragic event. The Ana Grace Marquez-Greene’s Playground in Elizabeth Park in Hartford was made in honor of one of the Sandy Hook victims. As the seasons change and we watch the children start a new school year, I hope this year comes with joy, eagerness to learn, excitement for exploration, and gentle peace for all our students. We have enjoyed photographing countless children and their loving smiles is what makes us continue daily to do what we love as a life long career.
Baby girl in pink, mommy in pearls and daddy in plaid! This family of three braved a windy day this spring to capture some smiles and cuddle hugs. We look forward to joining her this fall in celebration of her first birthday!
This little guy is starting preschool this fall! We first met him when he was just a few weeks old and it’s hard to believe he’s already starting this new adventure. He is quite the cutie and we know he will make many great friends this school year. Good luck to his mom cause we are sure he will steal many hearts with that handsome smile!
What would be better than getting to attend a 1st birthday for work?! Capturing this cutie was just too much fun. At first the many faces was a little much and a few tears were shed but soon she was rocking and rolling! With a lady bug theme and great joy with her smash cake, this little one’s first birthday was a party we’ll never forget!
This winter we captured this happy couple in the glistening snow for their engagement photos! After waiting out the snow storms this winter, and there was quite a few of them, we picked a beautiful day to go stomping through the snow in upstate New York. This couple loves the country style and we were able to include that in this session. We are excited to be joining them again tomorrow as they come together with family and friends for their special day! Happy wedding day to the bride and groom!
The major milestones in life that we often think of first include births, graduations and marriages. However, there are little ones that happen in between that are milestones too. This little one joined us at her tenth month for a mini session in the park, and she had many skills to show us. From smiling, to sitting up, to crawling; I loved seeing these proud parents enjoy every moment with her. So today I remind you all, don’t forget to celebrate the little steps in life! Each one a milestone of its own.
