CT Photography Studio – Children’s Portraits

2 year old Birthday portraits

Photographing children’s portraits in our CT photography studio is a great way to capture those precious milestones. This 2 year old session included Addie and her big brother, Alex. Their mom, who loves all things neutral, took the time to sew their matching outfits.  Who can resist a two year old girl in pig tails,...

Maine Vacation Family Portraits

First Birthday Portraits

They won’t let me swap them out or move them!

When we moved into our home over 10 years ago, I put framed images of each of our kids above our fireplace. I had the intention of moving them when I found a piece of artwork that worked with the space. 

Time passed and I mentioned to my kids that I would be relocating their elementary portraits. 

I was not expecting their response. All three of them objected to this idea. 

In my mind, I was the one who really cared about our family portraits, especially the framed pictures on our walls. 

It wasn’t until I suggested moving the pictures that I realized how important they were to each of my teenage kids!

To them, those pictures represented their childhood. Those memories were a part of their home, their upbringing and their security within it. 

My eyes were opened to the value of a framed photographed that is prominently displayed in the home. 

It’s not just about looking pretty. It represents emotional depth in a child’s life. Something deeper than we will ever know. 

To all the parents reading this, you NEED framed photographs of your family in your home. 

What would it take in order to make that happen?

Much love,
