• Welcome to my blog!

    Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog! I'm a mom of three and a portrait photographer in Fairfield County, CT specializing in families and head shots.

    I use my blog to share posts about my sessions, announce specials and to share a piece of myself!

    I love to help women feel beautiful from the inside out and to help families take a moment to be fully present and connect with each! I do that through my photography and also through sharing my own struggles here on my blog!

Maternity & Newborn- Fleeting Moments turned to Priceless Memories

Oh how I wish I had done professional maternity portraits of myself! I was HUGE but soo happy with a life growing inside of me! The miracle of life is amazing but unfortunately it goes by too fast. I know, if you are pregnant right now it feels too SLOW but in the scope of life, it is not.:-(

Here is one client who realized on baby number three that THIS time, she wanted professional portraits to celebrate their family of FOUR becoming FIVE! That is a decision she will never regret! You can never get these days back! However, at least she can relive them whenever she wants.:-)

The image quality on the video is set for low resolution viewing on small screens so I do not recommend viewing large.

FAST & EASY & FUN

Many of my clients come back EVERY YEAR!

Even Dad and the kids can enjoy (or tolerate ;-)) 15-20 minutes with a fun photographer!

Here’s a quote a client shared with me recently: ” I always say to friends that my husband isn’t a fan of the whole family photo thing – but I signed us up for this (Andrea’s “mini session”) 4 years ago and when we got back in the car he said, ‘That was great, so easy and painless, you can sign us up for that every year!'”. I see this lovely couple and their four kids every year!

    This was my second family session with Andrea over the past four years. I admit I was hesitant thinking the pictures would be similar to my first session. Well Andrea delivered the most amazing work ever for us. The pictures are exactly what I hoped for. Fun with a professional touch. Really captures who we are as a family. Thank you Andrea
