04. Your Child Session

Capturing your child’s unique personality is such a joy! With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with countless children, but each session still feels like an exciting new adventure! My goal is to make every moment enjoyable, from start to finish. I focus on those authentic, unposed moments, whether it’s a belly laugh, a silly face, or a playful interaction that shows off your child’s true spirit. My style blends classic portraits with lifestyle photography, so you’ll get a mix of timeless poses and candid, in-the-moment shots. Child photography is all about fun and spontaneity! I keep kids engaged and aim for real, joyful giggles instead of forced smiles. Serious faces? I love those too! “Cheese” is banned in my world, unless it’s smoked gouda, of course! 🙂 Let’s make this a stress-free, fun experience where your child can truly shine!

What to Know Before Your Photography Session | Q&A

Q: What’s the best age to photograph my baby or child?

A: Every stage has its charm! Milestones like sitting up, first birthday, or just because, they’re all worth capturing. We photograph babies as young as 3 months all the way through the toddler tornado years (and beyond!).

Q: What should my child wear for the session?

A: Think comfortable, cute, and timeless. Neutrals, soft colors, or playful textures photograph beautifully. And yes, we have an adorable client closet with baby and toddler outfits if you'd rather skip the shopping stress!

Q: What if my child is shy or doesn’t want to smile?

A: Totally normal, and no biggie. We make sessions feel like playtime with plenty of silliness, games, and tricks up our sleeves. Those natural giggles and sweet in-between moments? That’s the magic.

Q: Can I be in a few photos too?

A: Yes, yes, and YES! Even if you weren’t planning to, moms, dads, caregivers, your presence matters. You’ll never regret hopping in for a cuddle or kiss on camera (messy bun and all!).

Q: Where do baby and child sessions take place in Connecticut?

A: We offer both cozy studio sessions and outdoor options at scenic CT spots: beaches, fields, flower farms, you name it. We’ll help you pick the perfect location based on your vision and your child’s age.
