As a photographer, I have the honor of being able to freeze moments in time that will stay in the hearts of the family's that I photograph. Not just for the moment, but for generations to come. This was one of those moments.
I met Daisy, Bob, Natasha, and Nathan on a gorgeous late afternoon at Elizabeth Park in Hartford. I couldn't have asked for better light and a better family to photograph in it. From the moment Daisy walked up to me, I knew it was going to be an awesome session! There's nothing better then meeting someone for the first time yet feeling like you've been friends for years. Daisy, you and Bob are the kind of people I could hang out with and have a blast doing it.
The impetus for this session was the fact that Nathan was graduating and heading off to the service. This was definitely a great reason to have family photos taken! Nathan you are off to do amazing things and I am so happy that I was able to photograph you with your family before the next chapter of your life began. Thank you for serving our country!
Daisy, thank you for contacting me and letting me photograph your beautiful family! I had a blast!

If I could turn back time, I would head right back to Hilton Head, SC on that beautiful late afternoon in the Spring, when I photographed Maris, Troy, Hannah, and Luke at the beach. It was absolutely spectacular. The sand, the water, the temperature, but mostly, this family and the bond they share. It was all so good and I wish I could go back right now!
Thank you so much Maris and Troy for letting me photograph your beautiful family in such a special place. What a gift!

Livia turned 1 and I had the honor of being there to document this milestone. Actually, I had the honor to photograph this beautiful baby three times during her first year. I thought I would put a few of the images from each session into this one blog post so you can see how much she's grown.
The first year is full of so many exciting moments. Even with the long nights, fussy moments, and other obstacles that parents go through, they all pale in comparison to the wonderful growth you get to observe right before your eyes. With all of the rapid changes, it's so important to take plenty of photographs during this time.
The first year with your baby will go by so quickly! Each day they grow and change, before you even realize, weeks and months will pass, and you will find them enter a new stage of their journey growing up.
Imagine going through together with your child looking at a collection of photographs of him or her and telling them about how much you fell in love with them, and together enjoying images of them from their first year sessions.
Livia is blessed that she has a family that values professional photography. She will be able to look back on these images and know how much she is loved. Sure, cell phones are a great way to capture the day to day, but professional photography will provide the high-end photographs that you can frame, gift and cherish for years to come. You'll never regret having too many photos, but you might regret not having enough.
Thank you Tina for letting me photograph this time in your granddaughters life. I look forward to watching Livia grow! xoxo |
I have photographed so many families over the years who I have become good friends with. It's definitely one of the great perks of this job ~ meeting so many wonderful people. This family in particular has become so special to me. From the moment I photographed Jackie and Sean's engagement session, to their wedding, to their growing family, to this session you see here, my admiration and respect for them has grown more and more.
This session was extremely sentimental to me. Sean had to ship out with his unit very soon after we did this and I wanted to make sure that both he and Jackie and the kids all had memories of this fun time together. These kids will never ever doubt their dads love for them. Just look at how he looks at them. The sacrifice that he is making to serve our country and the strength Jackie has to keep this tight, loving crew together and happy makes me love and respect them even more.
I was able to create an app for Sean's phone with all the fun photos we took so he could take these smiles with him. Bonus!
Sean and Jackie, it was an honor to photograph all of you. I look forward to seeing all those smiles again when Sean comes home!

Fall was definitely in the air with this family session. What a gorgeous day I had photographing Faye, Bruce, and their two beautiful daughters, Joey and Georgia. I still can't believe it was the first time we had met. They were such a blast to be with, I instantly felt like I had known them a long time. Since they were coming from New York, we found a great park in Greenwich, CT to meet. It fit them beautifully. Any time of year is the perfect time for a family photo session, but I find the warm fall colors to be extra special!!
Time spent with family is worth every second. Thank you Faye, Bruce, Joey, and Georgia for letting me photograph your time together. You are an awesome family! |
