CT Christmas Mini Sessions are the perfect time to get some updated photos with your family this holiday season. They are a quick and simple way to get gorgeous photos for your holiday card!
Mini sessions are some of my favorite days of the year. Although they are quick, I absolutely love getting to see my returning clients, as well as meeting some new clients! Most of my mini session clients either return for full sessions or continue to come back from minis. I love watching your children grow and noticing the difference from session to session!
This Christmas season, I will be offering two sets of Christmas Minis. I have my tree farm minis that have sold out of their original date, but I was able to squeeze in another date! My second is my studio mini session!
My first Christmas mini sessions take place at a Christmas tree farm. These are by far my favorite of the season because the location is absolutely beautiful. The open landscape allows for a lot of movement if you have wiggly little ones so they can explore among the Christmas trees.

Those first few weeks with a newborn are a blur, aren’t they? Between the sleepless nights, endless feedings, and getting to know this tiny new person, the last thing you need is another thing to plan. I know how overwhelming those early days can feel. And while you probably want beautiful photos of your baby, […]

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 […]
