Sitter Milestone Session at Eight Months Old in the Studio | Baby's First Year

There are some things in your baby’s first year that you just never want to forget. The way they curl their toes and how they smile with their whole face. Or, how they look at you and you know that you are their whole world. Every small detail and every big moment. It all simply just goes by too fast.

Sweet Coco and her beautiful Mama came into the studio recently for her sitter milestone session. This is our third session together in her first-year collective membership. If you missed it, here is their maternity session at Weed Beach and newborn session. She was the sweetest little baby and not much has changed.

We started the session with some photos of just Coco. She’s sitting, crawling all over the place, and standing up holding onto things. Her hair has lightened, her thigh rolls are everything and she gave me allll the smiles!

Then it was time for some photos with Mama, which may be one of my favorite things about these sitter milestone sessions. I’ve said this before, but I think this is the perfect time for a “mommy and me” session. At this age they love interacting with Mom and honestly, it’s just a really exciting age and one worth making sure you are IN the photos for!

Baby Girl's Newborn Session in Studio in Fairfield County, CT

I am so excited to share this precious baby girl’s newborn session in the studio with you! I’ve had the honor of photographing her long before Mom and Dad even knew they were having a baby girl (you can see their pregnancy announcement here), and then again for their in-home maternity session in-home maternity session. So to say this was a much anticipated day would be an understatement!

Brittany and Kyle are the sweetest couple and to see them as parents was truly so special. We waited until Sloane was a little bit older to do her newborn session. This meant she was a bit more alert and had plenty of baby rolls for me to obsess over!

While I photographed some of Sloane’s solo newborn portraits, Mama got to relax and have her hair and makeup done by Angelina with BeautyMarked Studio. Once she was done, she chose a dress from the client wardrobe, and then it was time for their first family portraits as a family of three!

Studio and Sunset Beach Maternity Session With Expecting Parents in Connecticut

To experience pregnancy for the first time. To welcome your first baby. To do all of this with your best friend. It’s truly so magical and a moment worth celebrating. One day, very soon, the days of it just being the two of them will be replaced by the most precious gift you could ever ask for. And to celebrate, this beautiful mama and daddy-to-be wanted a studio and sunset beach maternity session.

I have to admit, this may be one of my favorite maternity sessions to date. I know, I know- I say that about all of them. The mix of timeless, classic portraits in the studio, mixed with really playful, sweet images with the sun setting behind them on the beach was perfect for these two.

But beyond the beautiful backdrops are two people that adore each other. You can see it, you can feel their joy, and you can’t help but be so excited for them. They are the most beautiful couple inside and out and I cannot wait to see them become parents. We’ll be documenting their baby’s first year and building an album along the way so they can always remember these moments. It is going to be such a family treasure an amazing gift to their baby boy one day!

Newborn Photos with First-Time Parents and Baby Girl | Studio in Westport, CT

Getting to be a part of so many “firsts” is such an honor. Recently I photographed these precious newborn photos with first-time parents, Cassie and Duston, and their baby girl in my studio in Westport. It was the sweetest session. Mom and Dad were so excited, took the time to soak it all in, and now have their first family portraits with their daughter.

Reagan was sure to show me her personality from the start. Arms up and ready to go, I like to think she was excited about her newborn session! After fighting sleep for a bit and melting my heart with her baby yawns, she fell asleep and was so content for the rest of her photos.

There were lots of kisses, snuggles, and memories to last a lifetime. I am so thankful for the opportunity to photograph this sweet baby girl. Knowing these photos will allow Cassie and Duston to remember the way she stretched her toes out, how she held onto their fingers, and what it was like to take photos with their first baby for the first time. It’s all truly so special.

Summer Family Session at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT

This summer family session at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT was extra special to photograph. It was this baby girl’s first photoshoot and first as a family of four. Now, more than ever, I am meeting families that truly understand the value of family photography and having photos of their kids.

Because of the pandemic, many didn’t have the opportunity or didn’t feel comfortable doing newborn photos. So, in some ways, these sessions are not only about the milestone but also reflecting on this past year and how it’s changed your family. The truth is, it’s been a really hard year and although that may look different for each family, I think we can all agree that it’s really made us appreciate the simple things and hold tightly to those we love.

I’ve said this many times, but this year has also really shown me how important my job as a Westport family photographer is. 10, 20, 50+ years from now when memories fade, these photos that you have taken with your family will tell the stories. It will remind you of their little features and personality, the way they would look at you, and how you felt. You’ll not only be able to tell your children about their childhood but show them too.

None of this would be possible without the amazing families that have trusted me and shared their experiences with their friends and family. That’s what lead this beautiful family to me and I am so so grateful. Referring your friends and family to me is truly the greatest compliment. It helps my small business grow, but more importantly, ensures that more families have the opportunity to remember these fleeting years- they truly are the best!

Park and Beach Maternity Session at Sherwood Island | Westport CT

Before having kids, I remember always being told, “You’ll understand when you have your own kids.” As much as you want to believe you aren’t that naive, there are certain aspects of it that is true. One being, how fast they will grow (and it doesn’t stop when they turn one!). The days truly do feel so long, but they grow and change SO fast that when you look back on it, you’ll ask yourself where the time went.

This beautiful Mama reached out to me to document their son, Cooper’s first birthday. It was the first time they had any portraits taken of him (other than Santa!) and knew they needed to document that season of life they were in.

Fast forward a little bit and they are preparing to welcome baby #2 and Mom, Cody, knew that she wanted to document every part of this baby’s first year, including a maternity session. This is a story that I hear often and parents sometimes even wrestle with guilt of doing more for one than they did for the other. But Mom and Dad, please know that it’s NEVER too late to start documenting your families memories.

To celebrate baby’s upcoming arrival and to document these final days as a family of three, Cody wanted a park and beach maternity session at Sherwood Island. I love this location in Westport because it truly does allow us the perfect mix of those greens you get in the field and beach. Cooper loved playing with Dad, snuggling Mom, and walking along the water.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful night at Sherwood Island and I cannot wait to document their sweet girls first year!

Why Choosing an Experienced Newborn Photographer is So Important | Westport, CT

When choosing a newborn photographer for your baby’s first portraits, it’s so important to know who you are hiring. You have to look past the pretty photos. What kind of experience do they offer, and more importantly what is their experience with newborns?

Newborn Photography Education

I have invested thousands of dollars into education and training, and I have spent hundreds of hours with newborn babies. I know babies. I know when they are hungry, when they are about to smile, how to make them sleep, and how to handle them safely. I know how to position your baby so that they look perfect in your arms and we get their precious face showing for the camera to capture. I’ve got a workflow down pat that makes the session flow seamlessly and calmly for tired new parents (well...until you throw a toddler in the mix!). I’ve learned what clients love the most in their images and now curate a gallery of images where every image is cherished.

Experience Over Time

When I first started in newborn photography- I didn’t know ANY of that. It’s taken years of experience and training to gain the confidence I have today. I look back at photos where you couldn’t even see the baby’s face and want to hide in a corner. And now….my clients often refer to me as the “baby whisperer.”

Parents have left their session thanking me not only for beautiful photos but for teaching them a swaddling technique or way to soothe their baby. To me, this is just as important as being able to create beautiful photos. You can never get these days with your tiny newborn back and should be confident that you are entrusting him/her with an experienced newborn photographer!

What You Can Expect

When you can do that, you are able to relax and together we can create the most beautiful memories. While you may be getting less sleep than ever, these truly are the best days. They will go by too fast, but because of photography and our heirloom products, you can hold onto them forever.

Classic One-Year-Old Photos and Cake Smash | Westport Studio

One year. 365 days. Each of those days feels SO long when you’re in the thick of it. But when you look back and when you look at a side-by-side photo of your baby, you realize just how fast it all went.

We’re constantly being told to soak it all up and that we’ll miss this. It’s true (although, I can’t say I miss changing diapers!). But this is why I am SO passionate about documenting your babies, especially their first year. I wish so badly that I would have- If only I knew then what I know now.

I first met Taylor at her in-home newborn session and just recently she came to the new studio in Westport for her first birthday session. I absolutely adore these classic one-year-old photos!

We usually start with them sitting and within about three seconds they are crawling off, usually over to the window to play in the curtains…and I love it! After a little exploring, I will bring out a stool or chair for them to stand by or sit on. If I’m lucky, they will tell me they are “all done” and that’s my queue to start the cake smash portion of their one-year session.

I think this may have been Taylor’s favorite part of the session. She put on a fancy dress, cautiously checked out the cake, and quickly decided she wanted more. Her little expressions are my favorite and I’m excited for Mom and Dad to be able to pull these photos out year after year on her birthday!

How to Have a Successful Newborn Session with a Toddler

As a mom of two, I understand just how important sibling photos are for my clients. It’s what all moms dream of when they add a new baby to their family. But sometimes, our little toddlers aren’t as excited about the new addition or the idea of photos as we are. That’s where I come in and all I ask is that you trust me!

I have photographed well over a hundred babies and even more toddlers. There are a few things I have learned along the way that help and also a few things that I recommend not doing.

A Good Nights Sleep + Food

I encourage you to do everything you can the night before your newborn session to ensure your toddler gets a good night's sleep. Keep his/her routine the same. This is not the night to let them stay up late! Then when they wake up, keep everything as normal as possible and don’t harp on what’s to come. Feed them a good breakfast (something you know they love!) and then another snack right before the session.

Please do not wait until you are at the studio to give them snacks or offer snacks throughout the session. This often leads to them stalling and just wanting to take a break every couple of minutes for a snack. You are more than welcome to bring a snack to have after the session, and we even have some available for you in the studio.

Have Them Arrive Later

Because I include hair and makeup with all of my newborn sessions, Mom is usually coming to the studio 1-1.5 hours before the session even begins. So, in order to avoid your toddler getting antsy, I recommend having Dad or a grandparent bring your toddler a little later. We’ll give you more details on this leading up to your session.

I also recommend having them ready to go when they walk in the door. We want to monopolize on that positive, curious energy. After a quick change into their outfits, we’ll get started with sibling and family portraits.

Also, having them arrive a little later also allows me to photograph your baby’s individual portraits while it’s still quiet and gives Mom a chance for a peaceful break.

Let Them Be Little

Such a cliche saying, but it’s so true. Remember, their whole world has just changed and they also have a stranger taking their photos. I expect them to be a little wild and even protest having their photo taken. The most important thing for you to do is stay calm and embrace the chaos, keep a positive attitude, keep smiling, and show them how excited you are to be there with them, not just baby!

Whether you realize it or not, you haven’t just hired me for my photography skills. You’re also getting the years of training and experience I have in working with toddlers. I love to have fun with your kiddos singing, playing and dancing with them. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve and will do everything I possibly can to engage your children. It’s true, they are very unpredictable, but they are yours and together we’ll create some really beautiful memories!

And because we can’t talk about newborn sessions and toddlers without sharing some of my favorite sibling photos, here’s a recent session with the most adorable big brother!

Creating a Wonderful Experience for Moms in Westport Studio for Newborn Sessions

One thing I didn’t expect when I moved into my new studio in Westport was just how much more I was going to love what I do. Having the space to serve my clients well while being able to create beautiful photos is a dream come true. It’s taken a lot of hard work, sacrifice, and support from my family and my clients. I’m truly so so thankful.

Part of serving my clients well has come from creating a wonderful experience for new parents, especially Moms. For the last 9+ months, you have been carrying, nurturing, and growing your baby. It's such a beautiful sacrifice and the truth is, it doesn’t end when your baby arrives. Those early weeks are hard as your body recovers, but it’s also the time that goes by way too fast. The last thing I want you to do is stress over your newborn session.

Newborn Photography Studio in Westport, CT

When you arrive at our beautiful 1,400 sq ft studio in Westport for your newborn session, I want you to be able to relax, be pampered, and soak up every moment with your precious new baby and family. You will be greeted by myself and one of our professional hair and makeup artists, offered drinks and snacks, and then asked to sit back and relax while we take over.

Your artist will prep your skin and get you camera-ready while I take your baby’s first portraits! That’s right- you don’t have to wake up early to feed the baby, style your hair, feed the other kids breakfast, get your makeup on, and rush out the door- we take care of it for you! Once your hair and makeup are finished, we will head to the wardrobe room (filled to the brim with options) and help you select the perfect dress for your session. No need to spend hours shopping for outfits online only to have to return them all- we have curated over 200 dresses for you to choose from.

If we have big siblings, we have Dad bring the siblings about an hour after Mom so they aren’t bored by the time we start photos. We will style your kiddos to coordinate with your dress and head right into the studio for portraits!

Your Baby’s First Portraits

Your baby’s newborn photos are so important- these are your first family portraits with them a part of your family. To this day it’s one of my greatest regrets as a new mom. I didn’t know what I’d be missing out on and because of that, I’ve made it my mission to make sure as many families here in Fairfield County have the opportunity.

This family, they get it and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to photograph their sweet boy’s newborn session. I’m not sure who was more proud, Mom and Dad or his two big sisters! The love I felt in my studio this day was so sweet and a privilege to photograph.

These truly are the best days and something tells me that Mom and Dad know it too…just look at their smiles!

First Year Collective Baby in the Studio for Sitter Milestone Session

Having a 5 and 8-year old, I’ve been through all of the newborn and toddler phases. Each has come with moments I wish could relive over and over. But if there’s one “baby” stage my heart nearly aches to relive it would be this one.

There’s just something about having the front row seat to your baby discover the world. Seeing it through their eyes, slowing down to enjoy the simplest of things, and then seeing them light up by just the sight of you. It’s magical. Yes, it’s absolutely exhausting and the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’d do it again and again and again. And…I’d make sure I photographed all of it.

Sitter Milestone Session

The sitter milestone session is the second session in the first year collective. The focus is on the baby, but parents are welcome and I always recommend that at least Mom joins. It’s the perfect time for a mommy and me session and also gives your little one a little extra support if they need it.

There are a few traditional “sitter session” poses that we work through. Laying on their belly, playing with their feet, and of course, sitting up. We’ll do 2-3 looks for baby. One is usually a knit romper, another with just a diaper cover (so you can see all of the rolls!), and then if there is anything special you want for them. After that, it’s all you and your baby- we’ll document you playing and snuggling!

For this little guy, Mom and Dad brought a little lion romper and I have to say Hal was quite the handsome little fella! He was all smiles, wanted to eat the blanket, and loved to snuggle his mama. I can’t believe how much he’s grown since his newborn session, and already looking forward to his first birthday so I can see him again!

Adding to the Gallery Wall

We were able to take some of their favorites from this session and add to their gallery, which will be installed in their new home soon. This is something that we are able to work with clients on and keep in mind if you are in the process of moving or if you know you are not in your “forever home.” Wall galleries can be designed in a way where they can grow with you and work in different spaces. You can read more about our custom framing and installs here.

Mom’s dress is borrowed from the KWP Client Collection and hair and makeup by Angelina.

Sunset Maternity Session at Sherwood Island State Park | Westport, CT

I absolutely adore this beautiful mama and her sweet family. They have been the most loyal clients, celebrated with me as I opened up the studio in Westport, and trust me to document their most cherished memories. I am so thankful we were able to photograph their sunset maternity session at Sherwood Island State Park.

This was not just any beach maternity session. It was particularly special to Bayley because they didn’t get to do a maternity session with their son, Brayden. We had it scheduled but then he came six weeks early. So documenting this pregnancy and really soaking up these final moments as a family of three was really important to her.

Maternity Session with Toddler at the Beach

It was a super windy night but that was not going to steal their joy and excitement! We started over by the rocks, which is always a hit with the toddlers! Sometimes they can be a little headstrong…they know what they want to do and it usually has nothing to do with taking photos! Add to it that they are at the beach and they basically want nothing to do with participating in a photoshoot.

But over the years I’ve learned that you just have to keep them moving and engaging with their parents. Toddlers love to play games with their mom and Dad and honestly, it’s such a fun age to document. Not to mention, life is really about to change for this little guy, so having a little fun on the beach with him was the perfect way to celebrate and remember this stage.

Wardrobe + Hair and Makeup + Gallery Wall

Bayley came in a couple of weeks prior to their maternity session for her styling appointment. I am so excited that we are able to offer these in-person in the studio in Westport again. It makes it so much easier and honestly just a lot of fun!

Then, on the day of the session, Bayley had her hair and makeup done by Angelina before heading over to Sherwood Island State Park for their sunset maternity session. Our team of artists really do an amazing job of pampering moms and making them feel as beautiful as they are.

After the session, we did their reveal and started designing a large gallery wall. It will include Brayden, baby’s first year, and even a wedding photo of Mom and Dad. This gallery wall will be more than pretty photos- it will be their family’s story and I’m just so honored to do this for them.

I am already counting down the days until I get to meet their sweet boy. In fact, he just made his arrival and we’ll be doing his newborn session in the studio soon!

Simplicity Sitter Session with Eight Month Old Baby Girl

Two children of my own and over a hundred babies photographed and I still cannot believe how fast time flies. This sweet girl’s mama went back and forth on doing a sitter session but ultimately decided that she just had to. She knew her baby girl was growing so fast and wanted to make sure that we documented this season she was in!

Our simplicity sitter session is perfect for this. It’s a quick, 20-minute session in the studio. It’s limited to baby only and ensures that you never have to forget this time in between their newborn session and first birthday. Studio wardrobe is included and/or you can choose to bring something. for your baby.

For this baby girl, Mom chose a traditional bubble romper and the southern girl in me loves it! After getting those classic photos, we changed into outfit number two. I like to do 2-3 looks during milestone sessions (provide baby isn’t bothered by changes) to give variety and also to make sure we can see all of baby’s little features (and rolls!). Plus, what little girl doesn’t need a little ruffle and lace?!

Baby Boy's Studio Newborn Session in Darien - The Last!

This baby boys studio newborn session in Darien was so bittersweet….it was the last session in my first studio. If you would have asked me just two years ago today what my business would have looked like, I could have only dreamt of what has become my reality. And that’s because of you…each of you. I say it often, but not only do I have the best job in the world, but I get to serve the absolute best people.

Little Hudson was wide awake for almost the entire session. I didn’t think about it then, but maybe he knew that he needed to take it all in with me. When I first started in newborn photography, the idea of a wide-awake baby would stress me out. However, I quickly learned that my clients LOVE photos with their baby’s eyes open and unless they are just really fussy, it’s never really an issue! In fact, I love a good mix of wide-awake and sleepy baby photos.

We started with Hudson’s solo newborn portraits while Mama had her hair and makeup done by Aliza. He wasn’t so sure about being swaddled and quickly broke out his little arms and legs. Between his tiny little toes and adorable forehead wrinkles, I could have photographed him all day long!

Once Mom was done getting pampered, she picked out a beautiful white dress and we got started with their family portraits. These are my absolute favorite family portraits to take. Whether it’s your first baby or you are adding another little bundle, these are often your first family photos with your new family dynamic and. that’s really special.

I’m so thankful that so many families here in Fairfield County, CT choose me as their newborn photographer. And to each family that has come to my studio here in Darien, thank you. It’s been an honor to photograph your babies and milestones. I cannot wait to share more with you about the new studio in Westport!

Newborn Photographers in Fairfield County, CT | Family Welcomes Baby Boy #3

Of all the newborn photographers in Fairfield County, this sweet little boy’s parents chose me. There are moments during a lot of my sessions where I ask myself, “Is this really my job?” With each session and addition to a family, I am reminded of why I started my business to begin with.

You will never get these moments with your baby back. I know just how precious they are because I have been there with my own two babies. I know there are a ton of newborn photographers in Connecticut to choose from for your newborn session and I am always so incredibly honored when families choose me.

Beau’s Studio Newborn Session

Beau couldn’t have been any sweeter for his newborn session. He has a head full of dark brown hair, the cutest little pouty lips, and just looked so peaceful curled up in his swaddle. I’ll never get over these classic, all-white newborn portraits. They are so simple, led by baby, and the one’s parents just melt over.

After Beau’s solo photos, it was time for some family photos and then photos of just the three boys. So much of a newborn session is unpredictable. Will baby sleep? Will the toddlers cooperate? Will we get that photo of everyone smiling? Yes, yes, and yes! Big brothers, George and Everett smiled the entire time and could not have been more loving towards their brother. There is one photo of all of their little hands together that I just adore. It’s those little details and the little moments that you never want to forget!

Can you even imagine how much fun these three brothers are going to have in the years to come? I’m excited to watch them all grow this year as we document Beau’s first year!

Photoshoot Locations in Fairfield County, Connecticut

Deciding on a location for your family photoshoot can feel impossible. With the exception of winter, our local parks here in Connecticut are beautiful. Spring and Summer bring the most beautiful greens. Then in the Fall, we get beautiful golden grass and all the colors that come with the leaves changing. But then there is the beach and who can turn that down, especially with a beautiful sunset?

In all honesty, you can’t go wrong with any of the locations we have to choose from in Fairfield County. I tend to do most sessions at Waveny Park in New Cannan or Sherwood Island State Park (both the park side and beachside) in Westport. In this post, I am going to share why I love each location and how to determine which is best for your family.

Keep in mind that your photos will look slightly different depending on the season, time of day, weather, and location.

Waveny Park in New Cannan, CT

Waveny is one of the parks that is pretty in Spring, Summer, and Fall. The big trees offer a lot of foliage, shade, and photograph beautifully. And despite sunset or “golden hour” being the preferred time to do photoshoots, I actually prefer afternoon light at Waveny. It’s crisp and clean and overall, it works better with my photography style. We can usually start about 3 hours prior to sunset and that generally works really well for families with little ones.

Waveny does tend to be more crowded on the weekend, is about a 5-8 minute walk out to our shooting location, and because of the trees and tall grass, you will need to be mindful of ticks. It’s often windy but the trees help with that. However, the colors here and the tall grass (as long as it’s not cut down) is always worth it!

Sherwood Island State Park - Park Side

I love what I call the park side of Sherwood Island, especially in the morning! The morning light there is perfect and allows little ones to play without having to worry about the direction too much. There are big trees- denser than those at Waveny but I love the green tones there! We can also do sessions in the afternoon and evening here, really making this side of the park an option almost any time of the day.

Sherwood Island is easy to access, close to the I95 and parking is also easy. To get to what I call the park side of Sherwood Island, you’ll exit to the right shortly after entering the gates. There is a grass parking area where I’ll meet you. It’s really close to where do sessions, which can be ideal for little ones, maternity sessions where walking may be more limited, or if you have elderly family members joining you. This past year, we have even done quite a few newborn sessions at Sherwood Island.

One of my favorite parts about the park side is the logs. It gives the little ones something to do without being a big distraction. I do like to tell clients, please be aware of the geese. They tend to leave the ground a little messy!

Sherwood Island State Park - Park + Beach

Sherwood Island really offers a lot of variety. You can choose park only, beach only or do a mix of both. If you want a mix of both or just the beach, we will go to East Beach. It’s also easy to access, open free to all CT residents. Note that NY plates are required to pay a small fee. At East Beach, we get a 2-mile span of beach, paths along the dunes with green grass, and a lot more space to work with if it’s crowded.

If we’re going to do both a field and beach, there is a small field right across from the beach area. We’ll start at the field then head to the beach closer to sunset. Clients will sometimes ask if their images will look cohesive and the answer is yes (as shown below), largely in part because of the greenery in the dunes and along the paths to the beach that we will often use.

Doing both will provide more variety within your family’s gallery. However, it’s not the right choice for every family. Sometimes sticking to one place and not having to move in the middle of a session is better. We’ll talk about this when planning for your session.

Time is an important factor with beach sessions. We will start one hour prior to sunset, which means in the summer months we are not starting until 7 pm. This can be a challenge for little ones sometimes. Some can push it for a night and others can’t. You know your kids and I ask you to be cognizant of that and let me know so that we set your family up for success!

In-Home Maternity Photoshoot in Samford CT

I first met Brittany and Kyle at their pregnancy announcement and have been looking forward to their maternity session ever since! Most of the time I photography maternity sessions outside or occasionally at the studio, but rarely do my clients request an in-home maternity session! Brittany and Kyle did though, and my goodness, it was the sweetest session.

Prior to the session, we chose dresses for Brittany that we felt worked really well for an in-home maternity session. The first was a little more casual and boho and the second a little more classic, and they paired really well together. Aliza was also able to go and pamper Brittany with hair and makeup just before I arrived. Trust me, Moms, take the time to do this for your session- you deserve it!

I say it often, but it’s just so true- there is something special about those final days leading up to the arrival of your first baby. There’s so much excitement in preparing your home, especially the nursery, and imagining all the ways that your life is about to change. Being able to document this stage within the walls of their home in Samford CT is something that Brittany and Kyle will never forget.

The entire session was just so sweet. Brittany is beautiful inside and out and Kyle absolutely adores her. Hudson, their French bulldog, also made an appearance.

We took photos all throughout their home, and one of the things I love most about the homes in Samford is the character. They have a beautiful window along the front that lets in the dreamiest light, and a window seat that made for the most beautiful photos. Brittany and Kyle have also prepared the most beautiful nursery for their baby girl. I cannot wait to come back and photograph her newborn session with her snuggled up to Mom and Dad.

It’s been really sweet getting to witness these two go through pregnancy and prepare for the arrival of their first baby. Lucky for me, I get to document her first year and I cannot wait!

In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session in Darien, CT

Sometimes as photographers, it can be hard to navigate the business side of things. For years I went back and forth on the experience I wanted to offer my clients. I let fear get in the way. But the past year and a half, I have worked so hard to change that- for my clients.

So when I received this Mama’s inquiry that said, “I’m really hoping to work with someone who can help me plan, come up with a vision, capture some timeless, beautiful shots we can have forever, but most of all make this super easy and stress-free,” I knew all of the hard work was worth it. The truth is, so many parents want to have these moments with their babies documented but are often overwhelmed with pregnancy and all that comes with welcoming a new baby, particularly for first-time parents. Add a pandemic year into the mix and it’s a lot.

From start to finish, my team and I take care of everything. Planning, styling, hair and makeup, the session itself, and then ensuring you have tangible products of the memories you have created. Each step and every little detail has been thought out with you in mind so that it can be easy and stress-free.

As you can imagine, I was so excited for this baby girl’s in-home lifestyle newborn session. Mom and Dad wanted to take their first photos as a family of three in their new home in Darien. Angelina, one of our hair and makeup artists was there to pamper Mom, and I brought a few dresses for her from the KWP Client Collection. Mom chose a white dress with a mix of sheer and lace detail and looked beautiful. After that, we started with photos and had the best in-home lifestyle newborn session!

The light was dreamy and baby girl, Willa, has the most precious nursery. Willa was so sweet and loved to be swaddled, but insisted on having her hands curled up under her chin. She cuddled up on Mom and Dad and slept most of her session, but was sure to wake up and stretch at the end. I always love those photos!

Thank you Kristin and Cliff for welcoming me into your home. I cannot wait to watch Willa grow this year!

18-Month Milestone Session | Connecticut Children's Photographer

I was so excited when this sweet girl’s Mama reached out wanting an 18-month milestone session. Often times once a baby turns one, we overlook documenting their milestones. Sure, a lot of families will do annual family portraits, but the focus is different.

The truth is, our babies change just as much in that second year as they do the first. If they weren’t walking at their one-year session, they usually are by 18 months…and with a lot more speed! By this time they are usually babbling, a little more playful, and have quite the personality.

Simplicity sessions are the perfect way to document this time. We focus on beautiful, classic portraits of your little one. We focus just on documenting your kids as they are- funny, serious, silly, wild, active, sweet....all the amazing qualities of your children. And truly- we can do this at any age!

Parent’s trust me when I say, you’ll never regret documenting alllll of the milestones. At least once a year- make it a priority. I don’t say that as a photographer, I say that as a Mom of two. When they are 8, you’ll be thankful for what they did when they were 2, 3, 5, and so on. Not to mention, they will be grateful you did it as they get older.

I cannot wait to see sweet Amelia and her parents for their family session this summer!

Newborn Baby Photography in Fairfield County CT

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it 100x a day for as long as I am able, I do not take my job as a professional photographer for granted. Offering newborn baby photography in Fairfield County CT isn’t just a job for me- it’s truly my heart. And the fact that you choose to bring me along to document it just makes me teary-eyed every time I think about it. If you know me, you know I am sentimental and just so so thankful.

This week a friend asked me what my favorite part of a newborn session is and I loved that she asked. Sure, I love to snuggle your baby and take their photos. Butttt that’s not the best part. The best part is getting to sit back and take in the moments in between the photos, especially between a Mama and her baby. I love seeing her light up every time she looks at her newborn.

And while all that is happening, I love to glance over at Dad because he’s often watching Mom. During birth and in those early days, I think there is a heightened sense of adoration for each other and the little life you just welcomed into your family. There’s truly nothing in this world like it.

I saw all of these things during this little guy’s newborn session in my studio. Mom and Dad are crazy about their baby boy and could not stop smiling at him and at each other. I even got a little smile out of Felix at the end!

We were able to get a good mix of photos with Felix wide-awake and some with him sleeping. He has the best hair and sweetest little features. While I was taking Felix’s solo newborn photos, Mom was getting pampered by Angelina. She then chose a beautiful blue dress from the KWP Client Collection and looked absolutely beautiful.

Welcome to the world, Felix!
