One of my absolute favorite things about being a photographer is documenting couples as they grow into families.

I met Mike and Katlyn a few years back when they hired me to be their wedding photographer. Our first session together - their engagement session - was held at Harkness State Park here on the CT shoreline and we created some really beautiful images that night. Fast forward a few years later and I have had the honor of capturing the moments of their wedding, newborn photos of their first daughter, her 6-month sitter photos, and finally this family session to celebrate her turning one, right back where it all started - Harkness!

Since then, I’ve photographed them during the holidays and also had the joy of capturing moments of them with their newest addition - another beautiful baby girl, but I wanted to share these perfect moments of them together from last fall!
