Back at the Barns

Amy has a wonderful way about her. She’s a dancer and it is obvious in the way she moves. She was very comfortable in front of the camera. This is something I appreciate not only as a photographer but also because I have never been totally comfortable in front of the camera myself!
We were at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills (stay tuned for another post from a wedding I shot there!) Thanks to Kelsey for her help on this shoot – she was great at pointing out some new spots to use there!

The tall grass around the ponds made these 3 three my favorite

My favorite – this tree was calling my name!

A Little Girl on the Way

The storm clouds rolled into Old Wethersfield threatening us with some thunder during this session….but the first raindrops fell just as I was taking the last few pics.
I love this location. I’ve shot here numerous times and it never gets old. I find a new spot to love each time I come. And this time the new spots were filled with this great couple! Amy looks so wonderful pregnant. She was about 4cm dilated during this session and we were a little worried the baby might come before we got a chance to take the pics. But the stars aligned (or at least the storm clouds did!) and we were able to have this amazing session.

Doesn’t she look great?

These last three are my favorites….

This boy is gonna have a sense of humor….

The thing I loved the most about this session is how much Alva laughed. Her laugh is infectious. And the person who makes her laugh the most is Amin. He whispered in her ear throughout the whole session and it just made me smile. They are made for each other!

Tania

Tania is soo excited – her new little one is a girl! Not that she doesn’t love the boys in her house, but she’s definitely out numbered.
The whole family was so welcoming and sweet, it was such a pleasure to work with them! I can’t wait to come back and take pics of baby “G” with her brothers!

I love this one!

And this might be my favorite…

“Once there was a tree, and she loved a little boy. ”

I fell in love with a house. No, really, I did. The large windows that let in all the wonderful sunlight. The gorgeous staircase. The old charm. It was all there. But what made this house REALLY special was the couple who live in it. Their love was present throughout the whole house. And my camera had no problem capturing it.

This little bookshelf in the nursery holds his ultrasound pic, pics of mom & dad when they were toddlers and a PSU teddy of course!

I absolutely love this photo! The sign above the door was the first thing I saw when I walked in and I had to get that in a photo because it just fit them so well

And Jackson, he resumed his usual position, right on momma’s lap!

A Work of Art

Jenn — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:24:28 +0000

This proud mom-to-be did something totally different and new to me – she had her belly painted. Inspired by her newly painted nursery (done by Annette Dostaler) she decided to have her belly professionally painted by Annette. (The nursery looks great by the way, but I won’t be revealing that until the newborn session!) Her two year old, Reese, just loved this idea because she is totally into painting right now. So…once we were done with the “It’s a Boy” belly, she washed it off and let Reese take her turn painting it! She is quite the artist!

Coming soon…..

Blank Canvas

Jenn — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:20:46 +0000

There’s nothing like a big house to use as a blank canvas to take pics. This adorable couple are expecting their first child, a boy, very soon. They invited me in to take some pics of them while they anxiously await his arrival. They just moved into their house recently and haven’t filled it up with furniture (and clutter, if you’re talking about my house!) so we had blank walls and beautiful hardwood floors to work with. And even though it’s still a bit chilly outside, we were able to utilize some of their backyard. I loved it!

This series was my favorite: The little blossoms growing on the tree behind them – and the growing baby!

I love this portrait – and the natural light!

Love the architecture in this one

3 weeks early

Jenn — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:38:54 +0000

I met this couple about 4 weeks ago to do a pregnancy session. To my surprise (and theirs!) I was called to come back for the newborn session early. Lilian decided to arrive 3 weeks before she was due! But she was good and ready to make her debut at a little over 5lbs. She is the tiniest thing ever. Both of my kids weighed around 7lbs. so it seemed like she was as small as a baby doll. Her proud grandparents were there visiting. It was so sweet, they were all ooh-ing and aaa-ing throughout the session. Everyone is in awe over Lilian.

Here’s one of Bea during her pregnancy session

They wanted her photographed in this sweet christening outfit

These next 2 are my favs

This one makes me smile!

Sunny days are here again

Jenn — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 02:39:48 +0000

To keep going with my spring theme, I got out on yet ANOTHER beautiful day for this session. Just before the rain hit us again, of course. But hey, that’s what’s spring’s all about, right? We had the session on Wesleyan campus and amid the bare trees we found a little spot that had some flowers blooming.
I was lucky enough to get to share the sunny afternoon with Amy & Mike. I got to hear how they are anxiously awaiting their little girl to arrive and I was able to witness the tender moments they shared with each other. Amy was a natural with her poses and eye contact. All she had to do was flash her blue eyes and my camera was clicking away! By the time the session was over we had all decided Amy should star in “America’s next top pregnancy model”. I think she would do very well!

Finally back to posting!

Ok, so if anyone tried to look at my blog in the past 48 hours they would have noticed it was not working properly. After much frustration and phone calls, we are back up and running! I apologize for the inconvenience and also for the delay posting.
Now without any more delay….I can finally post this session!

I received a call a couple weeks ago from a husband who was very excited to have his wife photographed during her pregnancy. With baby #2 on the way and only 2 more weeks to go in her pregnancy, (although you would never know it by looking at her!) we had to set up a quick session. It’s not often that I receive phone calls from the dads. But this dad – he just LOVES his wife. And I thought it was very sweet that he thinks she’s so beautiful that he wanted to capture her this way before the baby arrives. And he’s right
