How to choose a location for your extended family photoshoot

Extended family photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture the love and connection between all members of your family. It is also a great way to document your family's history and growth over time. Besides being a unique and memorable gift for the whole family, especially the elders, it helps the elders feel included and loved, and provides lasting memories for the younger generations. Once you decide to invest your time, energy and money into an extended family photoshoot, a…

Delicious family photoshoot in an ice-cream shop

My idea of a memorable family photoshoot, especially with little kids, has less to do with intentional posing and exhausting attempts to get the kids to look at the camera, and more with the family having fun, enjoying their time together, and making true memories. I, as a photographer, just walk around, snapping the moments away and occasionally making weird noises to get their attention. So, the question arises - where to look for that golden place where a family…

Fine Art Family Photoshoot With Instruments / Farmington, CT

There is something special about the connection of a musician to his or her instrument. A musical instrument is not just a hobby or profession, it's a friend who can cry your sorrows or laugh your joys, your soul mate who whispers into your ear exactly what you need to hear, your companion who can relieve your stress and anxiety, who can express your exhilaration or despair, who is there when you are lonely or when you are blissfully happy…

Children Studio Portraits / Farmington CT

Although I mostly do newborn and family photography, I looove doing kids studio portraits! Getting a child to open up, to turn a shy smile into a happy giggle, to be as silly or as serious as their personalities allow them to be, is priceless. Despite a wide smile with teeth being a popular destination for children photography, that's not my goal (although a desirable bonus :)). My goal is capturing their personalities, with their peculiarities, subtle changes in mood,…

Cloudy Day Family Photoshoot

This past spring wasn't generous in warm sunny days. Just the opposite, rain and clouds were the usual and predictable attributes of all days, especially week-ends :/; temperatures barely climbed into mid-sixties only to drop back to 50F. Trees and bushes didn't start blooming till the very end of April, making it quite a long, dreary, and dull beginning of the spring. First week of May is when things finally started to look spring-y and cheerful, and that's when I…

Four Months Photoshoot with a Big Brother

Is there a bigger joy for a new mom than to watch her child grow? To see the transformation from the tiny little peanut with jerky movements and sleepy eyes into a formed baby, a person with his or her own character, features and perks? They start bubbling, and giggling, and wobbling, and then the next thing you know they’re off to school. Oh, life, stop for a moment, would you? Just a few months ago I photographed this sweet…
