Megan & Adam – Engagement Photography in Waterbury, CT

Megan and Adam have such a cute love story! They have actually been friends since elementary school!! I think it is the cutest thing that love snuck into their friendship and now they are best friends AND getting married! We figured the only fitting place for their engagement session would be at the elementary school where they first met!

They are also proud parents to their adorable fur baby, Marley, who joined in on the session. She was a total camera hog…she knew how to work her best angles and always smiled pretty for the camera! LOL I think it’s pretty obvious that she has her owners wrapped around her pretty little paw! ;)

I am super excited about their wedding and know that their love is going to last the test of time since they have already been through so much with each other!

Southford Falls Engagement Session -Southbury, CT | Jenna & Bill

I am so excited about Jenna and Bill’s engagement session! Not only were they great in front of the camera, but they brought their adorable “fur baby” Emma who was equally photogenic! Another reason I’m so in love with this session is because it was wintry, snowy, foggy, woodsy, and most of all it reminded me of a Twilight inspired engagement session!! I couldn’t get enough of the way the fog and moss and all of the huge trees surrounding us just made me feel like I was in one of the movies…and YES I will admit it, I’m a huge Twilight fan!!

Did anyone else see a little bit of Twilight in there? I did and I loved it! Can’t wait until Jenna and Bill’s wedding next fall!! WOOHOO!!

Rachel & John – Engagement Session in Wethersfield, CT

Rachel & John wanted their engagement session to be top-secret until after their wedding day…which lucky for you was my first one of the season! In spirit of their wedding two weekends ago, here are some of my favorites from their winter engagement session in Wethersfield, CT.

     

     

Even their dog Bodie joined in! I think the look he gave the camera was too funny! I’m sure he was saying “alright lady, enough with the pictures!”

     

Doesn’t Rachel have the most GORGEOUS eyes!! I love the color!

     

     

Be sure to stay tuned for Rachel & John’s wedding!!

Brayden – Baby Photography in Norwalk, CT

Little baby Brayden was such a handsome dude! He was only a week and a half old for our session…and it’s amazing how quickly I forget how tiny newborn babies can be! Tiny toes, tiny fingers, and tiny lips…I loved them all!

     

Even Brayden’s fur sister, Colbie, got in on the action!

     

Layla – Baby Photography in Wallingford, CT

Baby Layla is so beautiful! She is such a happy baby, with such a huge smile and gorgeous blue eyes! We lucked out and had the most amazing fall day so we had to take advantage of the perfect weather!!

          

Even Layla’s big ‘fur’ brother Kobey joined us. I also absolutely love this photo of the whole family…we were going for a cute kiss on the cheek but Layla wasn’t having it. Her expression is priceless!!!

          

          

Leaves are sooo yummy! 4 out of 5 babies would agree!

Elissa & Bob – Wedding Photography in Rehoboth, MA

The day that Elissa & Bob got married was one of the prettiest days I’ve seen all year! Everything was perfect: the sunlight, the guests, the venue, the band…fun was had by everyone and their wedding was gorgeous! They got married at the beautiful Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Not only was the day perfect, but Elissa was a perfectly stunning bride!

          

          

          

Elissa and Bob’s dog, Brooklyn, is such a well-behaved girl! Not only did she get to have a special part in their ceremony, but she got to stay for the whole party!! She was so cute when she saw her mommy all dressed up :)

          

          

          

          

          

I caught these two lovebirds sneaking a kiss mid-reception…soooo cute!

Some of their other great vendors:

Caterer: Ralph’s Caterer

Thanks again for including me in your wonderful wedding day! Congrats Elissa and Bob!

Brigitte & Jeremy – Engagement photography in South Glastonbury, CT

I am so excited for Brigitte and Jeremy’s wedding…the bad news is I have to wait a whole year!! They decided to do their engagement session on the exact day they are getting married next year! I warned her that it will go by faster than she thinks. I’m sure all brides will agree!

We meet up at their boat at their boat at the Hartford Yacht Club in South Glastonbury. It was the most gorgeous evening and we had beautiful warm sunshine all around us. The water was still like glass and their was a perfect light breeze in the air! AHHH makes me miss summer! They decided to bring their handsome dog Moose along for the session so they could get a few “family” shots! He was such a ham for the camera!

               

          

          

                    

I loved this session with Brigitte, Jeremy, and Moose! They were all so much fun! Can’t wait for your wedding in 2012!!

Crerar Family Portrait Session in Cheshire, CT

I had so much fun a few weeks back with the Crerar family! We got to hang in their yard, climb the tree house, play some sports, and explore a local park! It was a lot of fun, and I was so glad I got to tag along!

Meet Ella….and meet Bennett

              

Even their dog, Jess, got her moment in the spotlight…and then it was mom and dad’s turn!

              

              

I absolutely love this quiet moment between mother and son!

Sue & Lucy – Lifestyle photography in New Haven, CT

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a die-hard animal lover! Sue is like me times 100. She does so many wonderful things for animals, including pulling dogs out of high kill shelters, running a rescue group, being a strong voice against animal cruelty, and volunteering with the super rad organization Bikers Against Animal Cruelty. She is an amazing woman who has such a big heart! I was completely honored when she asked if I could capture some moments with her little lady Lucy.

         

One of the coolest things about Lucy is that she has one chocolate-brown eye, and one crystal clear blue eye…its so pretty!

         

         

Thanks so much Lucy and Sue! I am so glad I could spend the afternoon with you both.

Baby Evline Claire – Newborn Photography in North Haven, CT

Little baby Evline (better known as Evie) is just the absolute cutest! Don’t you agree! She has quite a personality…and her mommy and daddy, Jamie and Eric, need to look out because she is going to break hearts when she gets older! I swear she’s already a model and she’s only a few months old.

         

         

While Evie had a wardrobe change, I grab this shot of her furry big brother Hunter hanging out in the sunshine…then it was back to work…

         

         

At the end of the session, Evie was exhausted…no one said being a supermodel is an easy job! She got all curled up ready for a nap, and I caught this tiny little tear sneak out of her eye.  It was so cute!

Be sure to leave Evie your love and let Jamie and Eric know how adorable you think their little girl is!
