You don't make a photograph just with a camera.


You bring to the act of photography all the pictures that you have seen, the books that you have read, the music that you have heard, the people that you have loved.

Do you take special requests regarding edited photos?

Once the gallery is delivered, special requests such as face swapping or removal of objects can be fulfilled. Additional fees may apply.

I don't know what to wear, can you help?

Neutral, light, solid colors photograph the best. Ones eye should be drawn towards the people in the photographs, not the clothing. I am happy to provide assistance with selecting outfits for all.

I also have select maternity gowns that can be utilized. Long, flowy dresses photograph best for expecting mothers.

Do you shoot weddings or newborns?

I have shot weddings in the past, but am currently not taking any on.

Newborn photography is a special skill that is learned, and I am not an expert. I do not shoot newborns.

When is the best time for maternity photo sessions?

Approximately 32 weeks is the ideal time to have your maternity session. You have a nice round belly, but still feel energized and are not too close to your due date.

Where should we have the photo session?

As you may see in my portfolio, I have a love for the salt air and ocean. Because of that I frequently take clients to Harkness Park in Waterford, CT. Children love to run around the park and play in the sand. Bonus points for families that will get wet at the end of the session!

We can also visit other parks, as well as a private locations if you have a special spot in mind. I love to venture to new places! The sky is the limit.

Some women also choose to bring a crown as well for some photos. Lets have fun! There is no better time to feel like a goddess than when you are being photographed.

Can I bring pets to the photo session?

As long as pets are allowed where we are going, please feel free to bring them. I would advise to have a friend or family member tag along to hold the leash when they aren't in the photographs.
