Jelena & Tom Are Getting Married!! | CT Engagement Photography

We meet again, wonderful blog readers!

Summer engagement sessions are always so much fun!   This session with Jelena & Tom at Mohegan Park in Norwich, CT was no exception. I absolutely love the versatility of this location!  It has beautiful archways and an amazing fountain which makes this location perfect for any type of session!  They brought along their pup, Zeke, to be included in some of the photos also!   I love when a couple includes their pets in their sessions.

Jelena and Tom met through friends at while at college, Purdue University.  They started dating in October of 2013 after becoming very close friends.  During the session, I heard all about how Tom surprised Jelena with the most perfect proposal!  The were on vacation in Maine and were staying in a little cottage next to an open field.  The field was surrounded by trees and had a little creek running through it.  She went out to walk their dog Zeke (who is just the cutest little thing) and when she turned to go back to the cottage, she saw Tom on one knee!!  He popped open a box that held the most beautiful engagement ring and asked her to marry him.  Completely surprised, and utterly thrilled, she said YES!!

This soon-to-be wedded couple will be getting married in the summer of 2018 in Indiana.  Jelena isn’t excited about any one thing in particular when it comes to planning her big day, she is excited about EVERYTHING!!  After spending the time I did with them, I know it’s going to be a gorgeous wedding!

Here’s to many, many happy years together!

Luca | Newborn Session | CT Newborn Photographer

Next to shooting weddings, newborns are my favorite thing to photograph!  I love being able to document all of the tiny little details that will disappear in a matter of weeks (or even days)!  Never again will your baby be small enough to fit in your hands the way they can in those first few days of life.

Little Luca was a dream baby and slept for just about his entire session, even through all of the wardrobe and position changes.  I can’t wait to be able to show you all the photos from his first year of life!  For now, here are the photos from his newborn session.

Maggie & Chris | Fall Anniversary Session | CT Couples Photography

Hi guys!!  Winter is coming and you all know what that means… its time to start blogging all the photos!!

Today, I am posting photos from last years fall anniversary session with Maggie & Chris!  Maggie was referred to me by a friend of hers and I am so glad she contacted me to take photos of her and her handsome husband.  These two had just returned from a trip to Jamaica before their session and we couldn’t have asked for better weather that day!  They have two furbabies that were originally going to be joining them for their session, but they decided to have these photos be of just the two of them instead.  I am excited for the day when I get to photograph them too!   We met for their session at the historical Nathan Lester House in Gales Ferry, CT.  It was the perfect setting for their fall photos. During the time we spent together,  I got to hear all about their amazing vacation and have tons of laughs.  By the time we were finished, my cheeks were so sore from laughter and I am certain that their session was one of the funnest I have had!

Lily Turns “O-N-E” | CT Children’s Photographer | Harkness State Park, Waterford, CT

It’s hard to believe that this was my fifth time photographing the very sweet baby Lily. I still remember photographing her newborn session like it was yesterday.

I honestly cannot put into words just how much I enjoyed photographing this little lady over the last year. Every session, she had changed so much, and the same is true now that Lily is a whole 12-months old!  For this session, we went on a little adventure through Harkness State Park in Waterford, CT and followed that up with a bit of fun smashing cake to celebrate!

Crazy how fast they grow up, huh?

Okay, that’s enough talk for now.  Let’s move on to the pictures.  Here’s Lily in all her 1-year-old glory!

Alyssa & Brian | Rocky Neck Park Elopement

These two adorable people are Alyssa & Brian.  Alyssa first contacted me last year to ask me if I would be interested in photographing their elopement.  The answer was a resounding YES!!  I LOVE elopements… its just the bride and groom professing their love without any distractions.  Alyssa made her bridal bouquet out of sunflowers and white roses and it couldn’t have been more beautiful.  We found a quiet corner in Rocky Neck State Park in Niantic, CT with a little bridge that was a PERFECT place for them to profess their love for each other.  They each chose to write their own vows as well.  Brian made the box pictured below as a gift for Alyssa.  Inside the box were three small boxes with locks.  The boxes contained items that were symbolic of various events from their life together.  Once they finished saying “I Do”, we took a walk around the park and found a great spot for some photos of the newlyweds.  We found a large rock that overlooked the water.  These two were naturals in front of the camera… so full of love for each other that they needed no direction what so ever.  I simply put them together and watched the magic happen!
