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.

If you know anything about me, you know I love white. I think it gives everything a clean look so you can truly focus on the most important part of the photo- you! In my Christmas studio photos, the studio is white and I will have either a tree or a wreath that can be taken in or out. This will make it so you can have Christmas themed photos or photos that will be good for year round!

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. As a Connecticut family photographer, I watch this happen every year, and every year, without fail, families who have been putting off their session finally decide […]

Bringing everyone together has a quiet kind of power. The grandparents. The adult children. The little ones who have no idea they are about to become someone’s most treasured photograph.
