Although I specialize in newborn photography, seeing my return families each year for their family sessions is just so special to me. I don’t post a ton this time of year because of the upcoming holiday card rush, but this family is one I married into and I couldn’t be more lucky to have them as cousins for ME and cousins for my little ones too. We met up a few weeks ago and quick session chasing the sun as it set and I hope they love these as much as I do!!!!

Clients like this are the reason I do what I do.
It means the world to be invited back, time and time again, to document the people and moments that matter most. The trust, the familiarity, the shared rhythm of growing alongside a family - it’s something I never take lightly.
I’m so grateful for every chance to witness and preserve a piece of your story. Thank you for letting me in.

One of my favorite things? Watching moms love on their babies outside, surrounded by all that fresh air and freedom to just be.
This little one was all wide-eyed wonder, and mama was soaking in every second.

There’s a quiet confidence that comes with adding another baby to the family. The way arms adjust to hold someone new. The way the pace naturally slows down for these early days. The love is familiar, but never any less overwhelming.
Every baby brings their own kind of magic. And this one already fits right in.

This session was all heart. The kind of laughter that fills a room. The kind of joy that dances through the air and wraps around everyone present. And the kind of love that builds over one unforgettable year and shows up in every smile, every snuggle, every little cheer for how far she’s come.
She turned one surrounded by so much warmth. Every glance, every clap, every curious look said one thing loud and clear - she is deeply loved. And she knows it.
This milestone wasn’t just about celebrating her birthday. It was about honoring the first year of being her parents, the first year of sibling snuggles, the first year of becoming a family in a new way.
What a joy it is to witness that kind of love. And what a gift to freeze it in time.

Sisters with style, giggles, and a whole lot of personality.
These two showed up ready to dance, laugh, and let their bond shine. Whether they were side by side or doing their own thing, the connection between them was something special to capture.
Studio personality sessions are made for moments like these - full of energy, expression, and love.

This family brought such great energy to our time together.
We laughed, explored, and shared so many sweet little moments that made the whole session feel like something special. I loved seeing how much fun they had just being together.
It’s always an honor to help families hold onto moments like this.

Three hearts, one new chapter.
Watching these two older siblings welcome their baby sister was the sweetest kind of magic. From soft kisses to shared giggles, every moment was filled with curiosity, pride, and love. You can already see how much they adore her.
These early days together are just the beginning of a beautiful bond, and I’m so grateful I got to help preserve it.

Let them be loud. Let them be wild. Let them be completely themselves.
Personality sessions are all about capturing your kids just as they are in this moment. Goofy grins, big jumps, wild hair, and all the energy you know and love. These sessions are fast-paced, fun, and filled with everything that makes them unique.
If you`ve been wanting photos that reflect who they truly are, this is the session for you.

Raise your hand if you`re ONE!
This little one came ready to celebrate with the biggest smiles and the sweetest energy. Sitting proudly in the tub, hand raised high, totally owning the moment like they knew just how special turning one really is.
Milestone sessions like this are all about capturing the tiny details that show who they are right now - the expressions, the curiosity, the joy. It all changes so fast, but this moment is theirs forever.

So grateful to have photographed Danielle during such a meaningful time in her life.
Her trust, her presence, and the joy she brought into this session meant everything. From the styling to the quiet moments in front of the camera, it all came together beautifully. It`s always an honor to create space where women can feel supported, confident, and truly themselves.

This session felt like a perfect blend of elegance and real life.
The grand columns, the arches, the texture of the city - Downtown Hartford gave us the most beautiful backdrop.
The way this family moved together, laughed together, and filled the space with love was something special.
Classic architecture, modern connection, and moments that will last.

"Just popping in to check on my baby sister."
That’s the vibe this sweet big brother gave the whole time. He was curious, silly, and completely in love from the start. These are the quiet beginnings of a bond that’s going to grow for a lifetime.
