Saddened to hear that we’ve lost incredible Judi. I think back to her branding session in 2018 often - and I’m sure you can tell why! Judi brought an inspiring amount of joy to everything she did, especially sharing her love of hooping with the world 💜

The weight of being a photographer is heavy on days like this, but capturing wonderful people like Judi celebrating themselves and their passions so confidently will always be an honor.

Admittedly, I am not so great (I suck) at the whole end of year recap thing - especially the last couple of years, which have felt a bit like I’ve been clutching onto my camera for dear life in the middle of a thunderstorm. I know I’m not the only photographer, nor the only human, who feels a similar way.

By December, I’m usually holed up and hunkered down, pushing through projects and waiting for the new year. The idea of posting makes my head spin, and that’s not even taking into consideration the fact that I’d have to find a way to summarize an entire year of unique photo shoots into one reel, carousel, or whatever the algorithm enjoys most on that particular day. Nooo thank you.

I’m hoping this year to be better about sharing my favorite looks from sessions in (well, closer to) real time. So, we’ll start with an easy throwback - this quintessential joyful head shot look we did for wonderful Christa in the fall. I could write a blog post about all of the elements that make this first image eye catching and inviting. I probably should… add that to the list. And of course, a smirky smizey second image and some BTS to accompany because I can ✨

See y’all back here hopefully in less than 4 weeks this time 🥴 and Happy New Year! 🎉

A little fun fact about these (stunning) images of Kate 📸

At the end of her photo shoot, we wanted to do some close ups with more hair movement - which are always SO much fun - but Keely decided that the look needed an extra little detail once I brought the crop in to Kate’s face.

It just so happened that the necklace Keely wore to the studio that day was the perfect ✨something✨ we needed to take these portraits to the next level.

(We like to joke that Keely will give you the shirt off her back in order to make sure your styling is perfect… but is it really a joke? 😉)

It’s a perfect example of how the smallest adjustment to styling can make a huge impact on your final images, and exactly why our clients love getting to work with a wardrobe stylist before and during their photo shoot.

Book your photo shoot (that includes wardrobe styling, hair and makeup, and so much more) at a very special rate for a limited time HERE - https://csmarchand.hbportal.co/public/black-friday-25 ❤️

If feels a little surreal that we’re already approaching 2026.

We’ve been busy - this year, our cozy studio has welcomed many new and returning faces - some even traveling in from out of state.

Now, it’s time to usher in the New Year with new images. Our Black Friday Special is so good, you do not want to miss out!

Our Signature Session, normally $1,500, is just $750 for a limited time.

The Signature Session Experience Includes...

Session Design Call | Professional Wardrobe Styling
Hair & Makeup | Photo Shoot with Multiple Looks
Image Reveal & Selection Appointment

PLUS $1,250 in Studio Credit to spend on your favorite images. In total, a $2,750 value even -before- the special.

This is our most popular experience, and the best part is, you can book it RIGHT NOW for any available date in 2026 and save $750 🎉

First access went out earlier this week, and the studio calendar is already filling up quick!

Comment SIGNATURE and I’ll send you the booking link, or visit the link in my bio to get all of the details, choose your preferred photo shoot date, and lock your Signature Session at the special rate.

This might just be our best special yet.
Can’t wait to see you in the studio in 2026!

Keely and I had a blast with the cast & crew of East Lyme High School Drama Club’s The Importance of Being Earnest last week ✨

Their wonderful director, Sara, wanted to make sure they had an unforgettable head shot experience and you know I’m all about that!!

Keely created a mood board and provided wardrobe guidance, and we built our set right in the wings of the stage as rehearsal was happening.

With minor adjustments here and there and just a few minutes per student, we created a unique collection of images that complement both their personalities and the show’s branding.

ELHS’s The Importance of Being Earnest opens this Thursday. If you’re able, please go and see this wonderful group of students perform 💖
