There's something timeless about gathering generations together for family portraits. During a session in Riverside, CT, I had the joy of photographing a wonderful family who were all smiles. The highlight? The 18 month old gorgeous little girl who stole the show! She was the heart of the family and had the most amazing smile. I couldn't miss.
Professional family photography preserves more than just smiles though - it captures the connections - the siblings, the grandparents, and the children who really seem to grow right before our eyes. These photos, and the album they have from their session, become cherished keepsakes. Reminders of how precious each stage of family life truly is.
Watching generations interact always reminds me what makes family photography so meaningful. Thank you all for letting me photograph your beautiful family and treasuring family photographs like I do.
We met on a foggy morning at their home in Old Saybrook, and everything about it felt quiet, soft, and meaningful. Tim and Suzanne had their whole family visiting — their son Doug, his wife Melissa, and their twin baby boys, Luca and Leo - and their daughter Alyse and her husband Mike with their baby girl Addison.
I’ve known this family since Doug and Alyse were kids, and getting to photograph them now as parents themselves is incredibly special. Watching that full circle moment never gets old.
Having grandparents in photos with their grandchildren is something families don’t always realize the value of until years later. These images become part of their story — something their grandkids will grow up seeing, holding, and remembering.
This morning was simple, foggy, and full of love — the kind of session that quietly becomes a family treasure. Thank you Tim and Suzanne for letting me photograph your beautiful family. I love you all!
There’s something really meaningful about photographing a family for the second time and seeing how much their kids have grown.
I recently met up with Pam and Peter and their three children — Annie, Ellie, and Tommy — for a session at the beach in Southport, CT. It was a relaxed evening with great light and lots of easy moments. The kids have changed so much since the last time I saw them — taller, more confident, and somehow even cuter.
This stage of life moves fast, and it’s easy to forget just how much changes from year to year. Having professional photos is a simple way to pause time for a moment and hold onto what this season looked like for your family.
I’m always grateful when families come back and trust me again with their memories. Thank you Pam, for trusting me to photograph your beautiful family again. I had a great time!
