Nuggets – Child Photography in Connecticut – fun, authentic images of your child!

Capturing Childhood Magic: Child Photography in Connecticut

When I came to the US as an Aupair I loved working with children. As a result, it really sparked my interest in photography. Back then we didn’t have internet – yes I am that old! 😉 So the only way to send images back home to Germany was by actually printing out photographs. Quickly my hobby turned into a passion. Moreso, families I worked for asked me to capture their images and I happily did! Child Photography is not always easy, but that makes it fun, right? You never know what to expect, and that always keeps it interesting.

I love to keep children engaged during your sessions. Everyone is always looking for smiles but wouldn’t you prefer real giggles? That is to say, I even love serious faces. Call me strange, but I take an authentic impression over a fake smile. So the word “cheese” is banned during my sessions. Unless of course, we talk about smoked gouda, my favorite! 🙂

Exploring Scenic Backdrops

There are many options when it comes to child photography. We could have your session outside or in my Milford studio. My beautiful studio is conveniently located right off I-95 in Milford. Some sessions, such as cake smashes will only happen in the studio. I also offer a variety of specials throughout the year. My yearly glitter photography minis are very popular among our little clients. So always keep your eyes open for some fun new sessions coming your way!

Candid Moments of Joy

One of the most rewarding aspects of child photography is capturing genuine expressions. Whether it’s a spontaneous giggle or an eye-roll, candid moments are what make each session truly magical.

Embracing Personality and Individuality

Every child is unique, and we want to bring out that personality in the photograph. As a child photographer, I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed environment. Let your kids be silly and goof around. Which in conclusion will get them more comfortable quickly. I will help you style your little nugget for their big photo debut! Actually, I love styling everyone involved with your session. One of my absolute favorite clothing stores is Zara. Followed by H&M and of course Target! No worries, we will talk about plenty of clothing once you book!

Connecticut Children’s Photography | Creating Timeless Memories

To sum it up, I am excited about capturing these special memories for you and your family. If you want, you can check out some recent child photography sessions on my blog. Remember, they are only young for so long! Just yesterday they were babies! Ready to book? Let’s go!

Beautiful and incredible newborn photos. Ute is amazing at what she does and is so good with the newborns. She’s thought of it all with the comfort of her studio. I’ve used her twice with each of my children.

Ute was amazing from the moment we arrived for our newborn photo session. Professional, pleasant, and incredibly patient, her soothing nature kept our baby calm and photo-ready throughout. She handled every detail with care and was fully prepared, making the session flow seamlessly. The baby pictures are stunning, and she’s easily become our favorite photographer for newborn photos in Connecticut. Highly recommend!

We have been coming to Ute for the last few years and never leave disappointed like we have with other photographers. Ute focuses on high quality, timeless art that will never go out of style. She also focuses on quality over quantity which I also really appreciate. We look forward to being a customer of hers for life and can’t wait to keep watching her capture the growth of our children thru the years!

Ute is a genius. She captured such beautiful family portraits of my family and my newborn photos too. I was blown away with the quality of her shots. She has a fantastic eye, and is excellent working with young children and newborns. I am so glad I found her!

Ute was so professional and kind throughout the process. She was so detailed about everything to do to get our baby to behave during his baby pictures for our newborn session and it worked! He slept the entire time and we got amazing photos out of it. Every time he would slightly stir she was able to get him right back to sleep. I would recommend her again for anyone looking in Connecticut for newborn photos!

We have had 3 family photo sessions with Ute-Christin photography (baby pictures, fall family portraits, and beach family portraits) and have been thrilled with the pictures each time! She is wonderful and easy to work with, and she always has my daughters smiling.

This is our second time using Ute-Christin Photography and I can honestly say Ute and her team are phenomenal. We used Ute for a newborn session 5 years ago which I loved. This time around we had a beach mini session which was perfect for my toddler and three year old (I actually have mom guilt now bc I didn't do a new born session for my three year old). The beach mini session was 15-20 minutes which was the perfect length of time for my small kids. I am thrilled with the proofs that we received. Ute and her assistant Andrea are both professional and responsive. After I booked the mini session at the beach I received a detailed email with tips about how to make the shoot successful. This included tips about what to wear and color schemes that were helpful and contributed to beautiful photos. Ute was also prepared at the photo shoot. We were at the beach which she pre-warned could be buggy or windy of course I forgot bug spray but Ute had it on hand and happily shared with us. She made my kids, my husband, and myself feel incredibly comfortable. I am so happy we did this shoot. I love how the background and lighting look. I will definitely be booking again in the future.

Ute is such a talented photographer. We originally scheduled a maternity photo shoot but when our little man arrived 5 weeks early Ute graciously changed it from maternity photos to a newborn photo session and while i was sad not to have the maternity pictures I couldn’t be happier with the newborn photo session. I will be using Ute for family pictures going forward without a doubt!!! Thank you Ute!!!

If you’re looking for the best, most professional photographer in Connecticut that pays attention to details to make sure that every image captured becomes a favorite memorable photo, look no further!I can’t say enough about Ute… she’s more than amazing at her craft, she’s also great with kids, has the patience of a saint, is super kind and delivers magical images that you’ll love for years to come. Ute thinks about every little detail to ensure your experience is the best!We’ve been using Ute as our family photographer for over 8 years now. That should tell you a lot! Ute has taken newborn pictures for us, milk bath pictures, maternity photos, baby pictures of milestones like 6 months and one year, cake smash pictures, family portraits, holidays pictures and more! My boys LOVE her and cooperate for her when they won’t for anyone else! She’s truly a gem of a person and we feel lucky to have found her so many years ago! Her photos are all over our walls and holiday cards. The images she’s captured have brought us years of JOY! Don’t think twice! Book her! I promise you that you won’t regret it!

We had a fantastic experience with Ute for our first son's maternity and newborn photo sessions in 2021. Her attention to detail and creative approach left us so happy with the results that we knew we had to hire her again for our second son's newborn and maternity sessions. Ute's ability to capture precious moments with such warmth and professionalism is truly incredible. We highly recommend Ute for anyone looking to create beautiful, lasting memories through photography!

This was our third time using Ute. We started with a maternity photo shoot, newborn photos and now family portraits as we get ready for baby #2. She’s the best! Ute thinks of every detail so that you have nothing to worry about the day of your shoot. We can’t recommend her enough!

We had an amazing experience with Ute for our newborn photo session for our daughter. From the initial email inquiry, Ute and Andrea were incredibly thorough and detailed with the process and what to expect and even how to best prepare for the shoot. Ute is clearly a master of her craft and created a perfect atmosphere for our newborn. The photos came out absolutely gorgeous and I cannot wait to book more sessions in the future. I cannot recommend Ute enough if you are looking for a photographer in the Milford, Connecticut area.

Ute is absolutely incredible at what she does. She is such a gifted baby/family photographer because she excels at getting beautiful shots AND making sure the experience is positive for your child. We did a beach mini session in Milford to get family portraits with our 7-month-old daughter. Even though 7 months can be a universally tough age (we were getting past bedtime and baby girl was starting to fuss), Ute went above and beyond to keep our daughter smiling. This involved her taking photos one-handed while entertaining her with toys with the other hand and even playing her favorite song. This was in addition to making sure her dress was in place and that my hair wasn't in my face. Ute really gets to know her clients ahead of time with a questionnaire and she takes into consideration any insecurities you may have or particular shots you prefer. I can be particular about how I look in photos but I am thrilled with how they came out. She really will make sure the whole family looks their best and the turnaround time is so quick too. These are our first real family photos and I will cherish them always! Can't wait to use her again in the future.

Ute was absolutely amazing. Starting from my initial inquiry where her and her team were immediately responsive and accommodating to my schedule and requests to the actual photo session which was done in her immaculate studio where she truly captured everything I had asked for. She was a pleasure to work with and my first glimpse at the newborn photos have exceeded expectations. I will definitely utilize her services for all future special moments!

Couldn’t recommend Ute-Christin more for newborn photos! She created the perfect atmosphere for our little ones first baby photos, was incredibly patient with him, and her and Andrea were so professional and kind throughout the entire process. If looking for family or newborn portraits, this Connecticut photographer is just so great!

It's was very accommodating and great to work with! She was communicative, transparent, and has a friendly demeanor that really puts you at ease - we have the raw photos and they look great, can't wait to see the finished products. She knows what she's doing!

Ute is such an amazing photographer! i think we have done 6 sessions with her over the years and every time we are so happy with our photos! She is awesome with our girls! When the girls were younger there were times we thought there’s no way we would get good photos by the way the kids were acting that day and yet somehow she delivers beautiful photos!

Ute is always amazing. Even with our two spirited kids making the photo shoot a wild time, Ute always captures the best moments of our time together. 11/10!

I can not say enough good things about my experience today with Ute-Christian Photography. My husband and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable putting our 9 day old little one in Ute's expert hands for her newborn photo shoot. I will absolutely be using her for all future photo shoots of my family!

Ute was amazing in our maternity session. We never did any professional shoots before, so we didn't know what to expect but she has the eye for detail and helped with all of our poses and picking beautiful locations. Ute was so pleasant and the made the experience a happy one. We love the pictures we picked out and can't wait for the newborn shoot. Anyone that is contemplating her services; do it!

Ute is wonderful! Love her and her work!! She is always accommodating, very patient with the kids (babies and toddlers) and her work is impressive. She has wonderful taste and is very detail oriented. I will travel miles to get my babies photographed by Ute. Can’t wait for our next session.

Ute is an exceptional photographer who masterfully runs her studio with a brilliant eye for detail. We were lucky to have Ute for both of our children’s newborn photo shoots. The experience has been nothing but wonderful and I would highly recommend. From the detailed pre-appointment instructions to the welcoming atmosphere of her warm and inviting studio, countless prop and clothing options to select from, and her magical touch with babies. Her photos are absolutely beautiful.

I’ve been very happy each of the four times I’ve used Ute (newborn x 2, 1 year old cake smash, mommy and me shoot), and we’ve gotten endless compliments on the photos! She’s a master at her craft. The studio is pristine and relaxing, and Ute is friendly and I felt safe and very comfortable with her handling my newborn for photos.

Ute is a fabulous photographer. From start to finish, she and her assistant, Andrea, make sure that things run seamlessly and are hugely helpful in sourcing outfits, props, etc. to ensure the best possible experience for a shoot. Ute is exceptionally talented, and we are always thrilled with the final product (which is provided very quickly). We couldn't recommend her more!

Where do I begin! The whole process was seamless, comforting and amazing! Ute was top notch from the moment we walked in! We had a newborn shoot and she took amazing care of our princess throughout the process! She pays incredible detail to everything she does as well as making sure your baby is comfortable the entire time. No easy feat for sure! Our photos came out absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to book our next shoot with UTI! THANK YOU!
