Last Thursday night I took some senior photos for Margot at Harkness Park and it's nights like this that are such a beautiful reminder of why I'm completely in love with my job and all of the amazing clients I meet because of it. Senior sessions are some of my favorite because it's the end of a beautiful chapter in life and documenting it is so special. Whether heading off to college, specializing in a trade, or embarking on full time work the reality is life will never be the same and a lot of changes take place after one's final year in high school.

Speaking of chapters and books, Margot helped me to capture an image in the gardens at Eolia Mansion I've had in my head for a while - take a look and see if you can spot the one I'm talking about!

Margot's next chapter starts with heading off to Elon University in North Carolina in the fall (congrats Margot!). Wishing you the very best in your next 4-year adventure <3

Thanks for reading! If you are a parent or a senior I'd love to chat with you about senior sessions!

Connecticut Birthday Sail Celebration

Birthday celebrations after going through a global pandemic feel a little bit different. We’ve always had good reason to surround ourselves by those closest to us - our village - but after over a year of staying away from family and friends for the safety of all, coming together just feels a little bit sweeter, am I right?

When Becky and I first talked, I immediately got a sense for her beautiful and fun personality. You know when you meet someone and you leave the conversation thinking DANG, this person is just so full of light, I feel a little bit brighter? That’s Becky through-and-through. She’s genuine, kind, and loves her people. Throughout the pandemic, living in the urban area of Stamford, Connecticut, she would purchase a ticket frequently to sail on one of the Public Schooner Sails and hit the water leaving the city and building and confinement behind just for a couple of hours. Everything she told me indicated that the water is her place for calm and she joked that she thinks she’ll own a boat before she owns a house. And I love that, #priorities. Her dream was to gather her friends and family for a sail together to celebrate her 30th birthday. Having grown up sailing, I appreciated knowing that Becky feels a calling to the water and I couldn’t wait to help her celebrate and capture so many amazing memories after such a long year.

Senior Friends Session | Stonington, Connecticut

I'd had this idea in my head for a while about a beach session with a group of girls drinking from glass Coca-Cola bottles, blowing bubbles, wearing their chosen college tees - basically laughing and enjoying a final summer before parting ways to embark on the next part of each of their respective journeys.

Madison, Dani, Sarah and Morgan are such a blast to hang out with and they for sure made this vision of mine come to life. They're fun, genuine, and obviously completely adorable as well.
