There is something so special about beach maternity photos. The beach is a perfect area for light & bright photography. Everything is gorgeous no matter the season! The wind adds a perfect edge of dramatic flare to each of your photos. Also, it never matters which shoes you wear at the beach because you can always go barefoot!



Before heading down to the beach, I love to take some photos in the park area. This section of the park varies all throughout the year, but looks beautiful no matter the season. It is great to have a bunch of varied shots through the two locations. This moms dress from my client closet looking beautiful in the grass, and on the beach!
As a Connecticut maternity photographer my favorite time to shoot is golden hour. This is the hour before sunset or the hour of sunrise. It creates really beautiful light that makes your beach maternity photos really beautiful. This lighting looks good on everyone!

As the sun begins to set and everything gets all soft and glowy, this is a perfect time for romantic poses. I love to get some gorgeous photos of the beach scenery, and to pose you and your significant other in some sweet and loving poses.


Some photos of mom by herself are always key in a successful maternity photoshoot at the beach. These individual pregnancy beach photos are some to remember for a such a special time in your life. I often travel to various beaches in Fairfield County or New Haven County- including Short Beach, Sherwood Island and Silver Sands State Park.

The postpartum stage is definitely not for the faint of heart. You just gave birth, and now, you’re expected to take care of your baby while trying to recover from a pretty intense experience. And while these should be some of the most magical weeks of your life, you’re too tired and sore to fully […]

So, you have booked your newborn photoshoot and now the question that lands in almost every inbox I receive is: what do we actually wear? It feels like such a small detail compared to the enormity of welcoming a new baby, but it matters more than most parents realize. The right outfits make your images […]

The session may end when you leave the studio, but the story you created together is only beginning. The excitement of the shoot has settled. The gallery has been delivered. And then you are sitting in your living room holding a framed portrait that you did not have before, and something in the room shifts. […]
When you hold your newborn for the very first time, something shifts in you permanently. You are suddenly, fiercely protective of this tiny, perfect person. So when the idea of a newborn photography session comes up, it makes sense that your very first question is not about the light or the wardrobe. Your first question […]

There is something about a Christmas tree farm photo session that feels completely different from any other kind of portrait session. The rows of evergreens. The smell of pine in the cold air. Little ones bundled up in their coziest sweaters, cheeks pink from the chill. It is the kind of setting that does not […]

There is something about fall that makes everyone want to reach for a camera. The leaves turn, the light softens, and suddenly the whole world looks like a painting.
