We MOVED to Canton! Sneak peek… { Newborn photographer CT }

    Saren ~ must confess, We stayed in 2 store fronts for 9 years.  My husband was ready for the home studio after 4 years (HE WAS RIGHT).  Bravo for making this move! 
    In retrospect, my hubby Terry, concludes this decade as priceless. I got to work with both our adult daughters daily, experience two pregnancies with them, then spent 2 years loving and raising (as g’daughters came to work & on remote shoots) every day. Was able to know our son-in-law in a way that was neutral (not their home or ours).
    Like Terry said, when I admitted we should’ve made the move years earlier; “this experience was worth every penny”.

    Oh Saren how beautiful! A year later (Can you believe it?) I still go over Gabriella’s newborn session again and again. I guess we are due for family pictures now! Congrats ReplyCancel

            A little video of my favorite newborn session….

            Once in a while, you get a 2-year-old big sibling who is actually EXCITED about having a newborn baby sister…..  The giggles and smiles and covering her eyes whenever the flash went off were totally hysterical and I’m pretty sure big sister Quinn doesn’t ever have a frown on her face or a single temper...

                                A peek into the new farmhouse studio space… part I…

                                I’ve had a handful of sessions this past week or two in my new farmhouse studio space and its been SUCH a joy working there in the light and bright, airy space!  Its such a fun space where I can mix both studio and natural light in each session and I’m super excited to share...

                                      A little video of my favorite newborn session….

                                      Once in a while, you get a 2-year-old big sibling who is actually EXCITED about having a newborn baby sister…..  The giggles and smiles and covering her eyes whenever the flash went off were totally hysterical and I’m pretty sure big sister Quinn doesn’t ever have a frown on her face or a single temper...

                                        What you can expect with a Family Session with Saren Cassotto Photography

                                        Any of my baby planners who have outdoor weather for one of their milestones (be it 6 months or 1 year) can basically get a baby milestone AND family session in one!  I love capturing the new baby of the family with the parents individually and siblings too 😉  I met this little Liam when...

                                          SCP has a NEW WEBSITE! WAHOOOO!!!!

                                          I think the new website design took a year off my life this week but its up and running and I’m super excited to show you a glimpse of my work here on this fresh new-look site.  And because I certainly cannot post to the blog without some adorable images, I’m creating a mashup of...

                                            I have pretty much no words for just how adorable this family is.  I LOVED doing their session and have loved editing this sneak peek.  I hope mom loves it as much as I do! As a reminder, I am MOVING tomorrow!!!!  This means the SCP home studio (where all newborns and many baby sessions...

                                              Can I have a brief mommy moment here and show off my own little munchkins?  I’ve been wanting to take my little ones out for over a month now for a little photoshoot to commemorate their 2nd and 4th birthday milestones.  I finally got a free evening to do it and they had a blast....

                                                  One of the joys of my little photog venture is being able to meet up with old friends as they add new babies to their family.  My dear friend Tiffany from my Gap days has the SWEETEST 2-year-old I have EVER met and he ROCKED his sibling shots with new baby sister, Evie. Here’s your...

                                                    If you’ve been to my studio, you know my laundry closet is down there too – which comes in handy for washing everything in between newborn sessions!…not that newborns ever have accidents in my studio!  😉   So one day, I was doing laundry and my tag-along 18-month daughter was down there with me exploring...
