family Archives - Connecticut Newborn Baby Family Photographer

Sienna Newborn | Fairfax, VA

Happy New Year! I decided to make my first resolution to go back in time and catch up on my seriously slacking blog. I’ll probably do good on this for at least a month or two, hopefully I can keep it up!
Little Miss Sienna came to me at almost a month old, which is a bit out of my normal window for photographing newborns. BUT she was proof that the “ideal” two week window can definitely be stretched! She was so perfect for her session and slept the whole time. I LOVED getting to use aqua and red together in a session, it was so fun to pull props for her session. I think it all came together so nicely too, I’m so glad they chose to create an album to display their images!

I so enjoyed getting to know little Miss Sienna’s mom and dad, and hope to see them again in 2017!

Libbie Kate Newborn | Montclair, VA

This session ended up being one of my favorites to date! Pinks and creams and all the girly things…
::sigh::
I also thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Libbie Kate’s family. The girls and I had so much fun they decided to come back for a second round of photos with the boys! I’m so very glad they did, this family is truly beautiful inside and out and so much fun to be around. All three big siblings have such amazing talents, I really can’t wait to see what’s in store for this special girl & I’m looking forward to seeing her back in the studio for some milestone sessions soon!
I always have a hard time narrowing down what to edit when well-behaved siblings are involved, so this gallery ended up being HUGE with so so many favorites, but here are my top 20(ish). <3

Katie was the first person I met when I moved to Fort Leavenworth at the age of 7. The first thing I said to her was “you’re cute” before we played on the playground across the street. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I had just made a lifelong friend. We kept in touch over the years and during the years that we didn’t live near each other, we were pretty epic penpals. I still have a handful of our notes about our current crushes and chalked full of music lyrics we were obsessed with at the moment (embarassing) 😉
When I had my first son, Katie was dipping her toes into newborn photography (I didn’t even really know it was a thing yet) and I was thrilled to have her take some photos of Daniel for me. I’m so so glad I was finally able to return the favor by photographing her beautiful family with the addition of little Miss Willow!
Willow is the luckiest baby (as are the older three, of course) to have this amazing woman as her mama. I also had the pleasure of finally meeting Willow’s dad, Fred. I tell you, this man was a trooper. They drove almost 5 hours (one way- silly traffic!) to come visit me and he didn’t complain once. I truly enjoyed catching up with you guys and seeing how big all the kids have gotten. I don’t know how to put into words how happy I am for you all and your adorable family. Love you!

Luca Newborn | Edgewater, MD

One of the most rewarding parts of this job is being back in my home town and reconnecting with all my old friends from high school and college. The Coast Guard is such a small service, and I’m so thankful to cross paths with my CG family again and again.
Amanda and I spent a fun summer together hanging out in Boston when she had just graduated and I was going into my senior year at the Coast Guard Academy. Nine years later, we both have three beautiful kiddos almost exactly the same ages, and all opposite genders- what are the odds?! We had so much fun during baby Luca’s newborn session and he was so good to us- here are a few of my favorites from his session:
