So, you want to document the season of life you’re in and update your family photos, but investing in the full experience just isn’t in the cards right now. Sound familiar? If the answer is yes, Connecticut mini sessions might be a good fit!

Why Photos Matter

Studies show that displaying family photos creates a sense of belonging, importance and security for children. This boosts their level of confidence and helps to develop their sense of self. How cool is that?! Family photos showcase your favorite memories and remind children of their roots, the love surrounding them, and the support system they can rely on.

Photos are more than just images; they are legacies. They are reminders of how much we love and are loved. One day, these photos will be your children’s most treasured keepsakes. You deserve to see yourself as they see you. In their eyes, you are warmth, comfort, and unconditional love.

Parenthood is beautiful, and worth documenting, in every season. Whether you’re cuddling a newborn, chasing a toddler, or holding hands with your teenager, this moment deserves to be preserved. It’s a gift to your future self; a reminder of the beautiful, exhausting, incredible journey of raising little humans.

3 Reasons To Book Connecticut Mini Sessions

Your Kids Will Thank You

Photos are more than just images; they are legacies. They are reminders of how much we love and are loved. One day, these photos will be your children’s most treasured keepsakes. You deserve to see yourself as they see you. In their eyes, you are warmth, comfort, and unconditional love.

Short and Sweet

Connecticut mini sessions are the perfect amount of time to preserve meaningful, authentic moments without the stress of a long photoshoot. My workflow is intentional and designed to take full advantage of kids’ short attention span! We’ll keep kiddos engaged and create beautiful images in the process.

Memories Will Be Made

The fact is, these seasons of parenthood don’t last. Time keeps moving (and our kids keep growing!) whether we make time for the photographs or we don’t. And I can promise you this…

You’ll never look back and wish you had fewer photographs with your kids.

Why Moms Stay Behind the Camera

Moms tend to put everyone else first. We make sure our kids have beautiful photos with their grandparents, their dad, their siblings—but somehow, we get left out. Sometimes, it’s intentional. We tell ourselves we’ll take a picture “when we lose the baby weight,” when our hair is done, or when we have the perfect outfit. Other times, we’re simply too busy capturing our children’s joy to think about jumping in.

But years from now, your children won’t care about the messy bun or the leggings you wore that day. They’ll just want to see you. Your love. Your presence. Your arms wrapped around them in a way that makes them feel safe.

Your kids won’t cherish the photos you take, they’ll cherish the ones you’re in.

Connecticut Mini Sessions aren’t happening this year, BUT we are hosting a Motherhood Event on Saturday, May 10th 2025 in Holden, MA. Plan a Mother’s Day get away and enjoy a pampering mini session. Get all the details and sign up for the VIP List here!

As mothers, we are often the ones behind the camera—capturing milestones, everyday moments, and everything in between. But when we scroll through our phones or flip through family albums, one thing is often missing: us.

Join us this Mother’s Day weekend and step in front of the camera to create tangible memories with your children. Because you deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

Looking For A Connecticut Photographer?

Hoping for more than just a mini? A full session may be a better fit! I believe in taking care of every detail so you don’t have to. If you’re looking for a Connecticut Photographer, I’d love to share how I provide a truly done-for-you portrait experience: Send Me A Message.

As a Boston photographer of newborns and families, nothing makes me happier than preserving memories for my clients. My journey into motherhood was anything but ordinary. We found out we were having identical twins (a huge surprise!) and a few weeks later, the world shut down. It was 2020 and my pregnancy, labor + delivery experience, and postpartum journey were nothing like I expected.

It was a challenging season, filled with anxiety and isolation, and looking back, I have almost no photographs from that time. I know how overwhelming those early days can be, and I want to give other moms what I wish I had—beautiful, tangible memories, without any of the stress.
