This can be tough, right? Making sure your photos look different from past years. Especially if you share your images in your yearly holiday card. You don’t want to keep sending out the same shot with a similar background. Personally, when I shoot my own family I try to do the opposite look from the year prior. I always gravitate towards a certain style (because that’s me and that’s my style!), but for the most part it looks different.
In this case, my client said “I’m stumped. I don’t know what direction to go in this year!” We have already done a summer-y backyard shoot, a summer farm shoot, a winter woodland shoot and an urban shoot. What else is there?! I think I had been binge watching Peaky Blinders that week and it was on my mind. I said “what if we do a Peaky Blinders inspired shoot? We could search for tweeds and layered looks…maybe an emerald green dress?” We were both excited and inspired. After seeing what she purchased for the kids, I knew I wanted a backdrop that enhanced the clothing colors and told the story of our vision. This old stable and the greenery of the grass was the perfect way to tie it all together. Enjoy the inspiration!

Feast your eyes on double cuteness….twins Emma and Ethan!







I'm super excited to share my first shoot from this past weekend. I've been photographing these adorable twins since they were born- which is such an honor. We had loads of fun exploring the arboretum, it really was a perfect afternoon. I had a hard time picking what to put up here- so there's a lot. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I did photographing!


Since my shoot today was cancelled due to bad weather, I had to do something with my camera. It happened to be sunny back at my place (go figure) so I opted to take my daughter down to the local arboretum for a few shots. Enjoy!


Last night I met up with my super talented artist friend and fellow blogger of 

So. I found my new favorite place: Kittatinny State Park. Oh. My. God. Its so magical looking right now with the fields of wild flowers- its like a dream coming to life. I was very excited to head to this place with one of my favorite families--these guys were dressed so perfectly for the surroundings. I can't believe how old Grace and Georgia are getting, I've been shooting them since they were babies. Where does the time go? Hope you like my preview....





This weekend I met up with Andrew and Sophie for their fall photo shoot. We had a gorgeous (yet windy!) afternoon and these guys rocked it for the camera. I'm loving the results...enjoy!






Here is the last of my Connecticut fall portrait day shoots....with Vinci and Gia. We did the shoot at the Stamford Nature Center- and the animals were out if full effect. I think our girlie girl Vinci was a little on edge when the hens started chasing her! However, you'd never know it from the photos, here's a sneak peak.
