Meet Averi. The tiniest, daintiest little newborn girl, and is she ever BEAUTIFUL?! She has such a loving family and her big brother was fun to have in the studio – he did great and gave us some really sweet sibling shots, which is always a bonus when you’re working with a 2 year old! Congrats to Miss Averi’s family, can’t wait to see you again little one!

Confession: I LOVE the beach most for outdoor shoots! I don`t love being away from my family for several hours since it takes 1.5 hours drive each way....BUT I absolutely adore the landscape and variety we get at sunset on the shore.
Booking outdoor sessions now - our calender is updated and ready for ya! Lets create some of your own family magic together - Saren.

Couldn`t be happier for this family and to see their new baby for their newborn session next week. Seeing repeat clients year after year, growing their families and allowing me the honor to document it.... best part of my job. xoxoxoxo - Saren

Big news for 2026: I`m taking on a (very) limited number of outdoor sessions for repeat clients who have aged out of my traditional offerings (typically age 3 is the last family photoshoot unless you have another baby and then we start all over again for another 3 years!). I`ve missed my repeat clients SO MUCH over the last couple years since making the 3-year rule and now that covid craziness is behind us.....I`m so excited to take on some of my favorite families again!
@rb_mrs: thanks for being the easiest, cutest fam-bam ever!

Did you know most clients receive 70-90 photos in their gallery from each session? I deliver galleries typically within about one week and they are FULLY EDITED and ready for download. A lot of my clients are surprised by this - I have a tried and true system for editing starting with curating the gallery (culling thru hundreds of images to narrow down to the very best), editing, fine tuning in Photoshop and then uploading and sending your beautiful gallery complete with slideshow set to music that you can download and share with your friends and family.
If you live in Connecticut / New York or Massachusetts and are expecting a baby this year: I`d love to be your girl! About 50% of SCP clients travel more than 1 hour for their photos with me. Always an honor. :). xoxoxoxo - Saren

Been photographing this mama & her son since he was a few months old. Falling in love with my clients is an occupational hazzard - I can`t help it! Just the best job ever to document familys` connection year after year.
If you haven`t heard: I`m doing away with the 3-year rule! Covid was absolute craziness for me. I was completely overwhelmed with work and while it was a huge financial blessing to my family for me to work so much, I am SO glad things have gotten back to normal with the pace of business and the balance of life it has afforded me. So if you`re a client from my past and in need of a photoshoot with your "older" kiddos (older than 3, that is!), DM me. I`ve missed you. I would LOVE to see you again!
xoxoxo

Wanna see a recent full gallery? These boys were born early so 3 months old when they came into the studio for their newborn portraits right around their actual due date. Dad was back to work so luckily Grandmother came to lend a helping hand- we will ALWAYS take ANY grammy help we can have!
Some afternoons feel easy in the best way. Soft grass underfoot, light filtering through the trees, and a family settling into time together without needing to rush. This session was full of laughter, gentle movement, and moments that unfolded with care and intention.
From lifted smiles and curious little expressions to the way parents naturally lean toward one another, every part of this time felt thoughtful and connected. With guidance and space to be present, these moments came together into something that feels honest and lasting.

These are the kinds of moments that feel both gentle and full. A baby finding her balance, a big sister leaning in close, parents smiling as everything comes together in a way that feels natural and connected. With soft light and thoughtful guidance, the session unfolded into something calm, joyful, and personal.
It is always the small details that linger. Tiny expressions, shared glances, and the feeling of being fully present with the people who matter most. These are the memories that have a way of growing more meaningful with time.

Some seasons feel especially tender.
This session unfolded so naturally. Siblings discovering each other, parents soaking in the joy right in front of them, and all those little in between moments that say everything without even trying. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels rushed. There`s nothing but love, curiosity, and the quiet magic of being together exactly as you are.
These are the chapters that become the heart of a family’s story.

There are sessions that feel calm from the very first moment, like everything is moving at its own pace. This one felt exactly like that. Soft light, open space, and two people fully settled into this season of their lives, letting the afternoon unfold as it was meant to.
And then, the story shifted. A pause, a smile, a question, and a yes. What began as a maternity session became something even more layered, capturing the love that is growing inside of her belly along with the commitment surrounding it.
These are the moments I love most. Honest, unplanned, and filled with meaning, just as they are.

Super excited about a collaborative event coming next month for anyone who has been wanting classy budoir with that light bright airy feel. Michele Wolff & I are working together for a woman-empowerment budoir day in the SCP studio and need 2 budoir models to work with this coming Friday 1/30. All the info is in this post`s slides. Dm if you have questions and stay tuned for something incredible! We are so excited to work together on this event 📸
So much of what I do is rooted in trust. When a family comes back again and again, inviting me into new chapters of their story, it means more than I can put into words.
Juliana, thank you for your kind words and for trusting me to capture such meaningful moments along the way. From pregnancy to what comes next, it is truly an honor to be part of it all.
Grateful for families who allow me to do this work.

Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
