Lillian’s One Year Old Portraits & Cake Smash

Posted in Babies and Bumps, Children, Families, Portraits

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since Miss Lillian’s birth! For Lillian’s one year old portraits, we decided to begin with a traditional portrait session and end with a cake smash. Lillian was a lot harder to photograph now that she moves so quickly! Enjoy this collection from our time together!

Amanda & Chris “Wear it One More Time” in New Milford, Connecticut

Posted in Engagements and Weddings, Portraits

After their August 2012 wedding, Amanda thought it would be fun to wait for snow and wear her dress for one last time for a photo session. We met on a fairly warm January morning for a few hours of photography at Lover’s Leap Park in New Milford, Connecticut. Here are some of the highlights from our time together.

Allie & Joel Celebrate Their First Christmas Together

Posted in Engagements and Weddings, Portraits

Some of you may remember Allie and Joel from their engagement session last winter. They were married this summer in Charlotte, NC. Sadly we were unable to attend the wedding because it was 2 weeks before our Charlotte was due to be born. We were very excited to see Allie and Joel when they came home for a New England Christmas this year! They wanted to celebrate this special Christmas with a photo session. Here are some highlights from our time together.
