Emersyn's First Birthday Session in Groton, Connecticut

Sweet Emersyn came in for her first birthday photos. We decided against a cake smash to try something new! Em's mom brought in a beautiful wreath from her home and an adorable floral crown. Emersyn was nothing but sweet smiles all around. We had a great time chatting and taking these timeless portraits. Happy birthday, sweet girl!

Leo's First Birthday Session in East Lyme, Connecticut

Sweet little Leo is one years old! His mom, Amy, gave me a call and asked if I could come over yesterday to photograph some photos of Leo for his birthday party. I immediately jumped for joy! I'm very familiar with Leo and his sweet personality. He is always smiling and always up for snuggles.

The Rooth Family's Session at Bauer Park in Madison, CT

Jennifer and I go way back to when we all lived in Florida. When we moved to Connecticut earlier this year, I was so surprised and excited to hear that she moved here as well to be closer to family. Of course, we had to get together for updated family photos! Her little ones, Claire and David have grown so big and it was awesome being able to see them again after such a long time. We went to Baur Park in Madison and strolled through the leaves that have fallen and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Krista & Ian's Latitude 41 Wedding in Mystic, CT

Ian first reached out to me about his and Krista's wedding day, which took me by surprise since I normally hear from the bride. It was such a pleasant surprise, as I got to chat a little with both of them before we started planning photography for their big day. At the time they reached out, I was still living in Boston, and they live just south. It was such a nice coincidence, as they were having their wedding just minutes away from where I was moving to.

Chloe & Jason's Coast Guard Academy Wedding in New London, Connecticut

About a year ago, Chloe reached out to me about her fall wedding taking place here in Connecticut. Her fiance at the time was a member of the Coast Guard and they both lived in sunny California. After some time of getting to know each other, Chloe & Jason were excited to have me capture all the special moments of their wedding day. Their ceremony took place at the beautiful chapel at the Coast Guard Academy and their intimate reception dinner took place at the famous Tony D's in New London.
