As a Connecticut Family Photographer, when it comes to family photos, I know how overwhelming it can feel—getting everyone to look at the camera, smiling, and keeping toddlers happy can seem impossible. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place! I work with families, moms, and kids of all ages to create relaxed, joyful sessions that capture authentic connection and personality.
The result is timeless, bright, and true-to-life portraits that you’ll treasure for years to come. When you book with me, you’re not just getting photos—you’re preserving the love, connection, and happiness of your family.

Connecticut Family Sessions can take place on location at a park, beach, or other scenic spots, or in my studio for a more polished look. I recommend booking when your family is relaxed and available, so we can focus on making the session fun and stress-free.
During the session, I will guide everyone through natural poses, capture candid interactions, and make sure every moment feels effortless and memorable. I handle every detail—from helping choose outfits and props to suggesting locations—so your family can enjoy the experience without worry. You’ll receive your final images through a private online gallery, ready to download, share, and relive the joy of your session.

Congratulations! Booking a family session is an exciting step in preserving memories that will last a lifetime. I recommend reaching out early to secure a date that works best for your family. Once your session is booked, I’ll send over a contract and a Family Session Prep Guide to help plan wardrobe, location, and any meaningful items or props you’d like to include.
Before your session, we’ll chat about outfits, color schemes, poses, and special details that are important to your family. I want to make sure your vision comes to life, and I’m always just a phone call away to answer questions and guide you through every step.
1. before the session
The big day is here! I’ll welcome your family on location—whether it’s a park, beach, or scenic outdoor spot—with open arms, making sure everyone feels relaxed and comfortable. We’ll begin with some beautiful posed shots of your whole family, then transition into capturing natural, loving interactions that highlight your genuine connections
I guide families through poses that feel natural and highlight your unique connections, while taking full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. Sessions typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, with plenty of breaks as needed, so everyone—especially the little ones—can stay happy and comfortable. My goal is to make the experience fun, relaxed, and completely tailored to your family.

3. after the session
Within one week of your family session, you’ll receive a gallery with all the images we captured, minus duplicates.
You’ll then select the images included in your prepaid package for me to edit.
Once the edits are complete—usually within another week—you’ll receive your final gallery, ready to download, share, and treasure.
This process is simple, stress-free, and ensures you have polished, timeless portraits that capture the love, personality, and connection of your family.

Angel is DELIGHTFUL. She is beyond sweet and her work is beautiful. She was so engaging with my 5 year old and he really felt like he was out with a friend. At one point he was running out through the grass and Angel was chasing behind him with all of her gear. Her work is beautiful and speaks for itself, but on top of that she is so warm and friendly - it truly is a pleasure. You can’t go wrong here!
We recently had our first family photos taken by Angel during one of her fall mini sessions. Angel was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond to questions through Facebook and phone/text and was patient and very comfortable working with our 2 very energetic girls. Our photos came out beautifully and we hope to have Angel take our pictures again in the future!
We recently had a fall mini session with Angel and she did an amazing job! She was so patient with my two daughters and made them feel very comfortable. We love how the photos turned out - she really captured their personalities. We highly recommend Angel and plan to use her for future family portraits!
Angel was awesome! She came to my location and made sure the setup was exactly what I wanted (even getting knee deep in the water!). She captured my girls and their personalities perfectly and I will cherish these holiday photos!
