Weiland Family Beach Session | CT Family Photographer | J. Marie Photography | Niantic, CT

WEILAND FAMILY BEACH SESSION | CT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | HOLE IN THE WALL BEACH, NIANTIC, CT

One thing is for sure, the good thing about being snowed in is that it gives me the opportunity to post some of my work from throughout the year.  I really like the way everything looks so magical with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground, but I can honestly say the cold air is not my favorite part.  Now as I sit here blogging this session, I am daydreaming about being back on the beach.

Last September Kasey reached out to me on my Facebook Page to schedule a session for her family.  She lives in Minnesota with her family but as it turns out, her mother and sister live right here in Niantic!  They were going to be traveling home for Labor Day and wanted a session at the beach.  It was raining almost everyday before the session and I was worried the weather was going to cause us to reschedule.  It finally stopped raining that morning and although the the clouds hung around, they were just perfect.

We met for their session at Hole In The Wall beach in Niantic.  They had the perfect summer time outfits and their adorable baby girl wore the cutest plaid shorts. It took her a little bit to warm up to the idea of sitting in the sand but she came around eventually.  We even put her up on the life guard chair, which gave us the biggest smile of the session.  I would definitely put beach sessions at the top of my list of favorites.

Hadley’s First Birthday Session | CT Children’s Photographer | J. Marie Photography | New London, CT

HADLEY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION | CT CHILDREN’S PHOTOGRAPHER | CT ARBORETUM, NEW LONDON,

I got to meet Hadley for the first time when she came to my studio in Niantic, CT for her newborn photos.  I love when parents choose my grow with me plan for their photos.  They get photos from all their child’s milestones, and I get to see them grow from behind my camera.

I was so excited to have Hadley’s photo session and cake smash outside at the CT College Arboretum in New London.  Her mom had the perfect outfit chosen for her and once she warmed up, we got some pretty cute expressions.

CT Engagement Photographer | J. Marie Photography | Chelsea & Preston Engagement Session | New Haven, CT

Chelsea contacted me last January of last year to schedule some engagement photos for her and her fiance Preston.  Preston is in the US Navy stationed in Groton at Naval Submarine Base New London and Chelsea was going to school out of state.  I had just met them for the very first time when it was time for their session.  We decided to have their session on the Yale campus in New Haven, CT.  The campus is beautiful and even though it was March and soooo bitterly cold, these two were amazing.  We started their session with them wrapped in a cozy blanket and drinking coffee out of “MR & MRS” mugs.  After we walked around the campus for a little while, we ended the session at Blue State Coffee where we could warm up with some cocoa.  Aside from the cold, it was so much fun and I wish them a lifetime of laughs and happiness!!

Webb Barn Wedding | Wethersfield, CT Wedding Photography

Hello again, everyone!

Wedding season gets a little crazy & I often don’t get a chance to write about the amazing couples I work with.  But, winter comes and I get a chance to reflect and do a little bit of catching up.  So, tonight I’m going to share photos from a wedding last year with Tricia & Dave!

I loved photographing their wedding on 7/1/16 at the Webb Barn in Wethersfield, CT.  But, their wedding day wasn’t the first time I was lucky to work with them.  I worked with them for the first time when I took their engagement photos (check them out here) at Devils Hopyard State Park!

Their wedding day was picture perfect (no pun intended) and included many personal touches including Tricia’s bouquet of lilies, the wooden ring box, and even her dancing shoes!  Oh, and their custom whiskey barrel wedding cake was possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen!

These two are just perfect together!

Andrew & Melanie | East Haddam Engagement Session | CT Engagement Photographer

I was fortunate enough to spend some time exploring Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam, CT  with Andrew and Melanie during the fall!  Fall in New England offers the most amazing colors for photography and I love when I get the opportunity to capture them!  These two were so easy to work with and their outfit choices were just right for the season!  They will be tying the knot in North Carolina and I’m sure it will be perfect for them!!
