I was just so honored to be a part of this newborn session. I’ve photographed Nick and Cary’s love story to date including engagement photographs, wedding moments, the maternity belly, and now the sweetest example of love: Emma! Nick and Cary, you are already amazing parents, I’m beyond ecstatic for you both and the grandparents who enjoy watching this little buttercup grow up! Much Love and Many Blessings for life with your daughter Emma!

AZ/VEGAS vaca + Matt & Leah tie the knot

So we had an amazing trip to Arizona recently! I was able to go away for two weeks, I ventured the skies by myself with two little babies and Greg arrived a few days after me. It was a fun filled adventure with many zoo trips, frozen yogurt cups piled high with the yummiest of treats, and the best part was seeing all of our wonderful family and friends! We were able to also get away to Vegas for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party for Matt and Leah, our first excursion away from the babies in a long time, much needed mommy and daddy time! We also had the honor of being in my brother Matt and his wife Leah’s wedding! It was an absolutely perfect day and we had a blast! Love you two!!!! I took a few photographs during the day, it was just fun to steal a few memories for them throughout the events. Greg’s parents even joined us in Phoenix and helped with wedding logistics and babies. I wish I had gotten more photographs of our wonderful friends we were able to see at the wedding and extended family, but alas there are only so many hours in a day! Leah stated all she wanted from me for a wedding gift was photographs! So we caught blue hour outside the venue, the sky was stunning and because I didn’t have any of my lighting equipment along we used a flood light, it was a fluke but worked just as a giant video light! ENJOY Matt and Leah, God’s blessings on your new life together!!!

This is Christine and Enzo, they are my ROCK STAR couple, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed photographing them for the past year and a half now! I photographed their engagement, wedding and now they are having a little baby girl! I’m beyond ecstatic for them and CANNOT wait to photograph their little princess! We took photographs against a pink seamless background then photographed on location in Bristol, hitting up Rockwell Park and of course Napa Auto parts. Christine it is always a pleasure and I wish you a smooth delivery! God bless you both!

Miss Whimsy, Miss Fairytale {CT Newborn Photography}

missy@galleriavivid.com — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:30:44 +0000

This is Miss Whimsy. She was born about 9 weeks early!!! Whimsy Olivia was born on December 12th, 2011 at 11:43 am. Delivery went smoothly for both Whimsy and mommy Mary Kate. She was a little peanut (still is) at 2 lbs, 13 oz and 17 inches long. Now Whimsy is home at last and growing growing everyday! Not that long ago, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Mary Kate and Paul’s dream wedding in Hartford. Now to see their darling princess Whimsy born so early yet now so healthy and strong, it was inspiring to capture this family’s beautiful first moments! I photographed this entire session in their home, Whimsy’s room, their master bedroom and in the livingroom, with an old antique trunk. I loved the rich authentic feel of their giant colonial home! Their was extraordinary detail everywhere you looked, and windows perfectly lighting each space, definitely a photographers dream! Mary Kate and Paul, it was truly an honor to be apart of such a WONDERFUL time in your lives, Much Love and Many Blessings!!!
