Sun-drenched goodness for this fun and awesome family! This session was held in September in a Simsbury location that’s a favorite of mine! This is a sunset session so we shot from about 5:30-6:30pm to obtain this optimal lighting!
Alyssa & Peter, thanks for bringing your gorgeous family back to me for another round of amazing photos to cherish for FOREVER! Love seeing you guys!

This winter has been a cold one, and lately I have been catching myself daydreaming about sessions like this.
This family spent an October afternoon moving through this beautiful space together, letting the season do what it does best. The colors were rich, the air felt easy, and everything about the session reflected where they are right now as a family.
Looking back at these images in the middle of January makes me even more excited to get back outdoors again. There is something about photographing families in places like this that feels grounding and full of life, and this session is a perfect reminder of why I love it so much.

A little sparkle, a little sass, and a whole lot of Christmas charm ✨🎄
These sisters brought their full personalities to the studio—from belly laughs to unsure moments to the kind of sibling connection that just melts your heart. There’s nothing like seeing holiday magic unfold through their eyes.
Because the most memorable photos? They`re the ones that feel like them.

Matching pajamas, twinkling lights, and giggles that filled every corner of the studio.
This family brought so much warmth into their winter session, from snuggles by the tree to those little in-between moments that make it all feel like magic. The way the kids lit up under the soft glow of the lights, the way mom and dad looked at them with joy that said this is everything. It was the kind of session that reminds me why I love this work so deeply.
These quiet, cozy memories are the ones that become part of the family story for years to come.

I absolutely love capturing the interactions between families and Santa! It always holds a sense of focus that makes everything else fade into the background.
These sessions give families space to experience it together and make it a core memory for everyone.
Moments like these hold their meaning without needing anything added to them. 💖

A whole lot of love, a little bit of sibling sweetness, and a brand new baby girl wrapped in everyone’s arms 🤍
From the gentle little snuggles to the proud smiles and curious moments, this session had everything that makes studio newborn portraits so meaningful.
It wasn’t just about welcoming her—it was about seeing how each person in this family already knows and loves her in their own sweet way.

The sparkle in her eyes says it all ✨
From sweet secrets shared with Santa to glowing moments wrapped in velvet and pearls, this session was full of warmth, laughter, and a little bit of Christmas magic.
There’s something so timeless about holiday portraits like these—the kind that don’t just mark the season, but become part of the memories that last for years to come.

Family sessions have a way of revealing how people truly relate to one another.
During this session, everything felt comfortable and familiar, like the family simply showed up as themselves and let the moments unfold naturally. Nothing felt performative and they kept the focus on simply being present with one another.
That honesty is what makes images like these feel grounded and personal, capturing family life in a way that feels real rather than staged.

Santa sessions have a way of bringing different families into the same shared moment.
Each interaction looks a little different, but the feeling is familiar. Kids step forward with curiosity and the space fills with a kind of excitement that is almost infectious!
These sessions step back and give everyone space to experience the moment together. What happens is guided by the family rather than the setting.✨

Watching siblings interact during a newborn session always feels meaningful in a quiet way.
There is curiosity there with a sense of awareness that something has changed, even if they cannot fully put it into words yet. You can see them learning where they fit and how this new little person belongs with them.
These sessions show a different side of family life. Not the big moments, but the subtle ones where everyone is adjusting and finding their footing together.
It is a season of becoming, and moments like this speak for themselves.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from the Cassotto Crew 2025.
The joy just keeps coming 🎅✨
These Santa Sessions were filled with the biggest smiles, twinkly eyes, and all the holiday spirit we could ask for. Watching these little ones light up when they saw Santa? Truly the best part.
I’ve got even more sweetness to share soon - stay tuned for more cozy, cocoa-filled moments heading your way.
