His first days spent in the buzz of Manhattan, and welcomed with a quiet morning in Connecticut. Two of the loveliest places to begin a story. So honored to meet this sweet boy.

Who says you can’t do the beach in fall? 🍂

Well... me. I say that. The wind will get you! 💨

But this was last month, and what a perfect way to end beach photo season. Now the leaves are changing and the locations for fall sessions are truly golden. Still, a golden night on the beach in September? Hard to beat. ✨

Nearly one year in the new studio.

This time last year, I knew I was moving into a much smaller space than the one I was in. But there was an advantage I couldn’t overlook, and one I’ve rarely seen in the photography world: a studio right next to a stunning outdoor space. Add in the fact that so many of my clients travel to see me, and that this space is in one of the most charming towns in Connecticut, and the decision was made.

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year.

This space has offered so much more than a studio. It’s a tiny escape when the walls feel like they’re closing in during those first days home with a new baby. It’s the beautiful studio portraits you’ve always dreamed of, and natural outdoor images of your family right on the waterfront and in the park.

And it’s the stories the mothers bring with them when they walk through the door. I may not know their whole story, and I may not be able to tell it for them, but the images become part of how it’s shared with the world. Motherhood, communicated through photographs. That’s what I do.

This space has given me a way to give moms a breath. A moment to pause and capture memories in a way that can’t be found anywhere else, with anyone else.

Truly grateful for this space, and for every family who has walked through the door..
