What to Wear - Fall 2011

Here is the newest post for What to Wear for you fall 2011 family sessions!

Connecticut Children Photography | Beautiful Addison...

This is one of my favorite type of sessions - an hour long session with one child...Multiple outfit changes, a gorgeous location, and one beautiful little girl who is full of personality = a super wonderful session!

Meet sweet Addison...

...Eva Grace...

Where to start with this blog post...My heart is so full of gratitude at having had the opportunity to meet such a sweet little person.

Miss Eva Grace is eight months old today - she has spent many of those beautiful eight months fighting SMA Type 1.  As her daddy said today, "with an SMA type 1 baby, you don't celebrate the years together, but the months together." And celebrate they have...

I was asked to do this session by one of my dear clients Joy as the family didn't have any formal-ish family portraits together and they really wanted some of them all and of little Eva.  I am so very honored that they trusted me to capture them as they are right now...Full of hope, life and lightness.

Eva the Diva as she is so awesomely nicknamed loves music and she loves to sing - I got to hear her sweet little voice while I was photographing her - soooo indescribably cute!!  She is known for her bright smile and is loved by so many people - her group page is 700+ strong with daily thoughts, prayers, and love being posted by her supporters.  The medical staff that helps her is just wonderful - they clearly adore her, which is a given once you meet this little princess.

She clearly loves her big brother Noah, displaying that signature smile when he is close to her.  She also loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse and anything Disney.  As her mother says, "there really isn't much that she doesn't love."

This is a difficult blog post to write, but I want to say that Eva Grace is a little fighter and we are all praying that she continues to fight as hard as she has been against SMA.  I have thought about her pretty much constantly since hearing her story and meeting her and I know everyone that hears her story does the same.  I hope that these images do justice in representing her sweetness, beauty, and will to live, to fight, and most of all to love.

Life is short, fleeting, but also so very beautiful...

What to Wear - Late Summer 2011

YAY!  I love these!  Another post about what to wear for your family photo sessions!  Enjoy!!!

What to Wear - Summer 2011 {Connecticut Family Photography}

I get a ton of questions about what to wear to a session and my response is always "coordinated, but not matchy"...which is great, but what does that mean?

I am starting a new feature each month with images about what best embodies this statement with fashions from Old Navy, Gap and Piperlime.  All great price points and accessible for everyone.

So without further delay, here is the first in what will be a monthly update about what to wear for your photography session!  :)

Miss Adriana! {Connecticut Children's Photography}

So, I know I pretty much say this with every blog entry, but I really do love all of my sessions so much!  Adriana's session was so amazing - definitely one of my FAVORITES.  First, she is sooo pretty!  Like a little princess!  And super friendly and cute and she is not afraid of the camera at all!  :)

When her momma contacted me about a session with her, we consulted about wardrobe and they settled on this gorgeous indigo dress!  LOVED it and was in love with the idea of using lemons in a session for a while, so I thought it was super fitting to combine these two beautiful colors with this beautiful little girl.

I love styling sessions and love planning out interesting ideas...the results can be so beautiful and unique and I am so very proud of how this session came out, but a majority (99.9%) of the credit goes to the gorgeous Miss Adriana!

Here are my favorites.  I couldn't narrow them down!  :)
