Ellington,Connecticut 1st birthday session // Annabelle

Birthdays are special, especially 1.  Its a time to celebrate the 1st year of life. So much has changed since you come into this world.  You start by being a little bundle of joy - who sleeps, poops, and eats. Your loved ones watch you grow into a little person who is most likely running around, saying words, and developing your own little personality! It sure is special & I always love capturing those moments! 

Jess booked me months ago to capture this special birthday session! And before we knew it, it was here.  

Jess is quite the crafty one! I got to their house and there was so much fun decor! 

Annabelle was the sweetest- It was a chilly day, and she didn't even complain once! She ran around, having a great time and even when we needed her to do something silly; she went right along with it! Her personality for sure fit her parents. Easy + laid back <3 

The view from their house is just about perfect.  Even with a cloudy day- it can make you fall in love with Connecticut, if you weren't already. 

It was truly an easy session + with a little help from grandparents ( thank you! ) we made sure this cutie was always smiling + laughing; which again, she was just a happy baby! 

Thank you Jess, Ben, and sweet little Annabelle for sharing this special moment with you-  I look forward to future sessions  <3 

A day on the farm

Its funny, I think about where I live and where I am from. 2 different worlds.  I grew up on one of the most crowded, busiest islands there is- Long Island is where my heart is.  But the more I am living in this small state, in this small town with more cows than people ;)  .. just kidding! But seriously, there are a TON of cows here!  The more I live here, the more I love it! 

Recently I spent some time with a family with a farm + it was a blast! 

I mean; mini horses, chickens, ducks.. oh my <3  Megan & Dave have been around animals their entire lives.  They share the love of animals with each other and now will passing it down to their children Molly + Alex. 

One of my favorite things to do while in a session is make sure I try to spend a few minutes with each person of the family even if its a minute. I get to ask them questions, learn about them- its probably my favorite part. 

 

But this family had 1 amazing thing in common.. the love they have for each other & their farm <3 Thank you for sharing your afternoon with me Megan, Dave, Molly, Alex & all the amazing animals <3
