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!

The Finizio Family – Family Photography in Stratford, CT

I absolutely loved photographing the Finizio family!  When I told the kids that they were so good in front of the camera and I thought they should be supermodels…they informed me that they actually BOTH used to be models when they were babies! Well, I didn’t realize that I was working with seasoned professionals lol. They were just too much fun and were up for anything!

We decided to meet in Boothe Memorial Park in Stratford…so beautiful there!!

          

          

          

Happy Halloween & Happy Fall From Kyla

Happy Halloween and Happy Fall (even though it looks like winter here in New England) to all of my clients, friends, and family…with love from my little “Ghoul” and daughter Kyla.

Meow!

          

                              

          

The Rodriguez Family – Family photography in Hartford, CT

I absolutely loved working with the Rodriguez family! Each member has a very unique personality and the kids were a hoot! They asked me if they kids could wear traditional Korean outfits for some of the photos, and of course I was super excited!! They were SOOO stinkin’ cute in them! We meet up at Wickham Park in Manchester, CT, in the Oriental Gardens. It was so peaceful and serene, but we brought a whole lot of family fun!

          

          

          

          

           

Veronica & Chad – Part I – Wedding Photography in Haddam, CT

So, tomorrow Hurricane Irene is going to hit CT, but her force can not compete with the extreme super stardom that is Veronica and Chad! In fact, their wedding was SO epic, that I have to break it down in two parts!!

All of the girls got ready at the Inn at Middletown and got glammed up by the beauty squad…all makeup was done by the fabulous Shelly Boucher and all hair was done by the super talented Christy Catala and Shelly Torelli! These ladies are a dream team of glamour…all of the bridesmaids and Veronica looked so stunning!! The gorgeous flowers were by Bakes & Baldwin. Veronica had some of the most colorful bouquets I’ve ever seen, and they really popped against her white gown! Love when my brides are willing to take risks and go against tradition!

          

          

This photo has a story, and to keep it short and sweet…Veronica and her bridesmaids partied VIP style with the Boston Bruins and the Stanley Cup for her Bachelorette party…Her girls decided to get her a shirt to commemorate this HISTORIC event! :)

Veronica and Chad decided to do a first look, where they see each other before their ceremony! It is so great for the bride and groom to have that quiet moment alone to see each other for the first time…and it’s really great for me since we had tons of time to do some really fun portraits and bridal party photos!

          

Priceless…the first time their son Chaddy gets to see his mommy all dressed up…and he gave her a kiss! UGH cutest moment of the whole day!!

I couldn’t resist…I told Chad to give me his Supermodel face…and this is what he came up with…Love it!

          

Stay tuned for the PARTY of the CENTURY…more photos to come in Part II!!

Big Shout out to my second shooter Jen from Jennifer Dougan Photography!!

Marina’s Seaside adventure – Child Photography in Branford, CT

Marina is the cutest little girl ever! She has such a spunky personality and the best little sailor outfit…I loved it!!! We had so much fun at her session playing in the sand, swinging on the hammock, and climbing on the boats!

          

          

          

          

          

Veronica & Chad – Engagement Session at Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield, CT

Veronica and Chad not only have the most adorable son Chad, Jr., but they are the most adorable couple! They are so madly in love with each other and are fabulous parents! For their engagement session, we headed to scenic Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield, CT where there was plenty of room for Chad to run and play. He was really into all of the rocks and dirt (typical boy). We had a great time capturing them as a family and some special moments of just mom and dad!

         

         

Veronica is one Hot Mama!!

         

I can not wait until their big day in August! It’s going to be a wedding to remember!

Kyla’s TuTu – Baby Photography in Wallingford, CT

Being a photographer, you would think that I would constantly be snapping pictures of my own life and family…but it just never seems to work out that way no matter how hard I try! About a month ago, I made it a point to grab a few photos of my rapidly growing daughter. I knew that if I didn’t set a side a few moments, she would be grown up, graduating from high school and getting married and having kids of her own before I got the chance. I don’t want to regret missing any age…so here are a few quick shots of her at two and a half months!

Kyla LOVES hanging out with her Daddy!!

My little princess and love of my life!!!

Tess and Ryan – Engagement Photography in Wallingford, CT

When Tess and Ryan’s wedding date got moved up, it was all hands on deck to make it happen. We did a really fun engagement session at the new Paradise Hills Vineyard in Wallingford, CT. We had a great time checking out their beautiful location and sipping on some delicious wine!

Meet Sean, the cutest little boy ever!! They are such an adorable family!
