Happy Memorial Day - Thank You To Our Veterans

A Happy Memorial Day to all our U.S. Veterans today & THANK YOU for all you do. Liam would like to give a very special thank you to his Poppy for his service and sacrifice. It thunder-stormed a bit in the morning, so our first parade plans for Liam were cancelled. We had a nice day with family later in the day and I hope everyone enjoyed their day too! (Liam is 9 months already...hard to believe how the time is flying by!)

Little Miss "M" Has Arrived!

Aww...This little newborn love bug is the newest addition and fourth child of the "L Family".  Miss "M" has two very cool older brothers and one very sweet older sister. I think she's going to have a blast being the youngest in such a wonderful, loving family! This photo session was given to them by a friend of theirs as a baby present - how awesome is that!!! (Thank you, A.) This baby gift will last forever. I had a great time meeting everyone. Miss "M" is beautiful! 

Newborn Baby "M" Is A Sleeping Beauty

It was a pleasure photographing cutie pie Miss "M" in her birthday suit! She sure did love nuzzling up to her mommy and daddy and she stayed a sleeping beauty for me throughout most of her session.  I am loving her little footsies shot with her daddy's checkered shirt and button behind them. It's now one of my faves that I've shot so far of feet. She was a sweetheart! Congratulations "K" & "S" on a beautiful baby girl! Thank you so much for bringing your peanut to my home studio. Here are a few shots from her session.

Spring 2011 Tutu Modeling Contest Winner

Here she is - the winner of the Danbury Lane tutu contest for Spring 2011! Little Miss Marlena is a true Italian beauty, isn't she!? Those big, beautiful eyes wowed us.... She is a LOVELY new baby model for Danbury Lane in a Baby's Breath tutu! 


Check out this beautiful online boutique - It's one of my favorites: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DanburyLane


Thank you for the entries - all of them are just beautiful! There will be another baby modeling contest through Andrea Finnegan Photography very soon for a chance to win a free session, like Marlena's, and a chance to become a tutu model. 

Welcome Sweet Baby JP!

Ohh,check out this adorable sweetheart! Here is little JP at 2.5 weeks old. He had a longer stay in the hospital to make sure everything was great (and he is perfect & healthy) so we weren't able to get his fresh newborn pics done in time. However, he did a wonderful job of giving me all of his wonderful expressions and little smiles here and there with his loving Mommy and Daddy. Congratulations, "S" & "J" - what a sweet little man you have!

Springtime Family Shoot Just In Time For Mothers Day

Here are a few shots from a double family session a few weeks ago. What beautiful children you have, D! Thank you for coming out to Branford with your family. I enjoyed spending the morning with your little ones. My favorites are the ones where "E" and "J" are picking flowers in the field. So sweet!

and one more to share... a little whimsical fun on the side- this reminds me of "Alice In Wonderland"

My First Mothers Day!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all mommies out there! For my first Mothers Day, I wanted a family photo and here's what we came up with. I love it! I used my tripod and my camera's self-timer so that I could compose our pictures and run and join my son and husband before the shutter would go off. My son thought it was fun seeing me run towards them! I had a wonderful day and I hope you did too!

Little Baby "B"'s Early Arrival

Welcome Baby "B"!  Just look at those juicy, chubby lips in photo #3. Precious! He did a wonderful job of staying sleepy for me. A special thank you to his Mommy and Aunt for traveling to my home studio for his portraits. Congratulations- he is just beautiful!
