If you’ve been searching for Connecticut Fall photography sessions, this is your sign—my Fall Petite Sessions are officially open for booking!
These limited-edition sessions are perfect for families, couples, or parents who want to capture the fleeting beauty of autumn with timeless, light-filled imagery. 🍁
This year’s sessions will take place on Saturday, October 18th, 2025 in Trumbull, CT (Fairfield County)—at the peak of foliage season, when the golden leaves and soft light create the dreamiest backdrop. Additionally, I have opened up some spots in the beautiful Wavenry Park in New Canaan on October 19th.

For your convenience, I’ve put together a style guide to help you coordinate outfits effortlessly. Neutral tones like oatmeal, cream, soft olive, and warm browns photograph beautifully against the fall foliage. My client closet includes dresses for moms and sweet knits for babies and toddlers.
Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, documenting your growing family, or just want a few gorgeous updated portraits before the holiday season, these petite sessions are the perfect way to do it.
Don’t let this season pass you by—the leaves are only golden for a moment.

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.
