Beach Maternity Session in Connecticut | Fairfield County Maternity Photographer Kristin Wood

June 09, 2019/ Kristin Wood

This beach maternity sessions was so much fun….and filled with some crazy strong winds! My clients came to the studio prior to the session for Mom to select a dress from the Client Closet. While she was trying on different options, we checked the weather and it was cloudy, but no rain in the forecast. Mom selected this gorgeous Fillyboo Maternity dress in a perfect shade of blush pink and we headed to Weed Beach in Darien.

When we arrived at the beach, the wind was intense! Even thought the beach is only 3 miles from my studio, it can be totally different weather at the beach! We decided just to work with the wind and it made for some amazing windblown dress and hair photographs!

Connecticut beaches (especially in Fairfield County) are pretty rocks with little to no waves due to Long Island. They are pretty and unique in their own way and are my favorite outdoor location for sessions. This session was shot at low-tide (as opposed to the maternity session a few posts back that was shot at high tide) so the beach looks very different!

This couple was so sweet and a lot of fun to work with! I loved all the tattoos (don’t they look so neat in photographs?!) and am looking forward to meeting their baby very soon for Newborn photos!

Connecticut Family Photographer | Fairfield County Beach Photographer | Darien CT Weed Beach

January 23, 2019/ Kristin Wood

This was such a fun extended family session. I’m so glad these Stamford natives decided to shoot at the beach in Darien. It made a perfect setting for the session, the kids had a blast, and we even got some sunset shots. They are a gorgeous family and so full of love for each other. The grandparents have been together for 49 years and I loved getting a snap a few of them together as well as them with their grandkids.

The Mom came over for a style consultation prior to the session. She tried on several pieces from the wardrobe and selected this beachy, flowy gray dress and also selected outfits for her two girls! The colors are perfection for the beach tones! The family ordered a custom gallery wall and they looked amazing in their home with the neutral, calm, relaxing colors!

Extended family sessions can be a real challenge at times. It is important to me to still capture those natural interactions and emotions and that seems to become more difficult with more people to corral. Having an awesome location with activities to do together really helps (in this case dancing in the sand and throwing rocks in the water).

Here are a few of my favorites (ok a lot of my favorites) from their session!
