Having a big brother means having someone looking out for you, always. If you have a big brother you know. Imagine having a photo like this of you and yours. #themotherhoodanthology #momct #ctmom #ctfamilyphotographer #familyphotographerct #thelittlethingsinlife #avonphotographer #cantonphotographer #simsburyphotographer
One of my favorite things to hear from my clients is “we can’t believe how many photos you got when I didn’t think you were getting anything!” Got a case of the toddler blues, I’ve got you. Don’t forget as a mom and former teacher I would be shocked if a 2 year old showed up and didn’t need a granola bar and some apple juice! Those in between the smile photos are my favs anyways 🤷♀️ #ctfamilyphotographer #simsburyphotographer #motherhoodanthology
If you are running around after little ones this is your reminder to take a deep breath, release and order take out tonight or whatever that easy button is for you. Parents you are doing amazing. #ctphotographer #motherhoodanthology #ctfamilyphotographer #simsburyct #simsburyphotographer
Studio portrait sessions are about creating a calm and beautiful environment so we can truly capture your child. Without distractions you can focus on your baby and bonus points, I get more photos of their true expressions as they play and interact with me and the camera. Are you ready to see the difference my approach makes in truly capturing your child? I can’t wait to play and freeze all those moments you see everyday with my camera. #simsburyphotographer #simsburyfamilyphotographer #connecticutphotostudio #ctphotostudio #ctstudiofamilyphotographer #farmingtonfamilyphotographer #firstbirthdayphotoshoot
Happy awkward week between Christmas and New Years! I hope everyone had an amazing holiday weekend if you celebrated! I have just a few housekeeping items as we close out 2023: -- Just wanted to give everyone a head's up that ALL FALL GALLERIES are set to expire on December 31, 2023 so if you have yet to download your allotted images, please do so before then. Any galleries that need to be re-uploaded after 12/31/23 will incur a re-upload fee of $10. -- Also a reminder to anyone who purchased full galleries that if you haven't received your flash drives yet, it means you haven't told me which print you'd like- I mail both the print and the flash drive out at the same time. 🙂 No rush at all, just a reminder! -- Lastly, due to rising costs thanks to our ever wonderful economy, prices are set to change come 2024, including a small rise for mini sessions, but not by much, and returning clients will still be receiving a discount. More on this to come in January! Thank you all so much for an amazing fall season, and I hope to see you all in 2024! Happy New Year! 🥰 #familyphotography #familyphotographer #fallminisessions #holidayminisessions #ctphotographer #siblings #simsburyphotographer #granbyphotographer #granbyphotographer #simsbury #smalltown #family #portraitphotographer #holidayphotoshoot #happyfallyall

This mom nailed her session. From showing up with outfits that let her family shine, (we love neutrals here and I consider blue one of our neutrals) to having fun and hiking up this huge hill, this session was goals. Shopping for kids clothes is probably one of the most fun parts of prepping for your session and classic works best. This is what family session dreams are made of. #simsburyphotographer #simsburyct #simsburyctphotographer #connecticutfamilyphotographer

Sneak peek of the last mini sessions of the season last night! Thank you so much to all the gorgeous families who made the trip out! I have been lucky enough to be doing photos for the L family since I think little miss Olivia was four! So sweet to watch her grow over the years, and her parents age backwards! Please share your secrets 😍. Always a great time with this family! #familyphotographer #fallminisessions #granbyct #simsburyct #simsburyphotographer #granbyphotographer #cantonphotographer #childphotographer #familysession #holidaycards #newenglandautumn

All of the girls soccer team is amazing. Each player had their own style. Their own skill set that stood out but I loved watching this athlete fight for position and push and grind for that ball. She stuck her nose in any play against any player. It was so awesome to see her battle. It was great capturing you all, I hope to see you all in the winter season, if not, in the spring. #soccer #soccergirls #soccergirl #soccerlife #soccerphotography #soccerphotographer #sportsphotographer #sports #sportsphotography #sportsportraits #ctphotographer #ctphotography #connecticut #connecticutphotographer #westhartfordphotographer #farmingtonphotographer #farmingtonct #simsburyphotographer #simsburyct @wyvernathletics @wyvernnation @ko_girlssoccer

Goodbye Fall! You were spectacular and so were the families I met during this time. Two more fall sessions this Saturday then it’s winter (sorry if you blinked and miss fall but don’t miss our Santa sessions) If you haven’t guessed, I am doing a lot of family and studio sessions as I try to figure out a way to balance my love of intentional weddings and photographing kids. Over 10 years I’ve decided these are the two genres I want to focus on. Soon headshots will be coming off the website and branding sessions. My favorite branding sessions are for visual artists so I will continue if I am asked for painters, sculptors and makers just to connect with them. But it will no longer be on the site. Cheers to running around making all the kids laugh and smile. #simsburyphotographer #simsburyfamilyphotographer #simsburyctmoms @stellabluephotoluv

Oh this little session stole my heart. The beauty of the packages is you can come in to update with just a small package multiple times a year or you can have a full session once a year. January is my slowest month of the year but the best time for indoor sessions like this! So if you are waiting for after the holiday rush, I’ve got you. More to come tomorrow on our “after holiday” offers! #simsburyphotographer #cantonphotographer #simsburyctphotographer #avonctphotographer
POV you have your engagement session in your first home together. Becky and Dan it was so amazing getting to know you AND to get to be the first to photograph you in a place where many more photos will be taken in years to come!!! #simsburyphotographer #simsburyweddingphotographer #avonphotographer #farmingtonvalleywedding

I always love photographing these moments for this beautiful Mama and her family, and the summer sunlight is pure magic. 🌾✨
Hey! Just a little cuteness for your feed. This white onesie session is a favorite look of mine. The simplicity of it is the beauty for me! Baby, white onesie, tired momma and daddy; this is the season so let’s embrace its’ beauty. Even if you have bleary eyes from not being able to sleep through a night or cutting everything into tiny pieces for snacks for the last 3 months, or washing and folding a gazillion teeny tiny pieces of clothing, you will be scrolling on your phone at 2am wondering which photo will be your next screen saver. I will be wondering which one should be printed for your nursery! @c.m.barrera @srgbarrera #simsburyphotographer #avonphotographer #weatoguephotographer #simsburyfamilyphotographer #simsburymoms #farmingtonmoms #farmingtonvalleymoms #farmingtonvalleyphotographer #farmingtonctphotographer #westhartfordfamilyphotographer #westhartfordmoms #wehamoms #bloomfieldphotographer #familyphotographyct
Cousin time is the best time! Here’s another example of how everyday activities can make for great photo session locations. The things you do with your loved ones are the memories you’ll have forever.
