July Portrait Party | New Canaan Children's Photographer

This little Miss E is most definitely the cutest 18 month old in the known universe. I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother, either. There's absolutely no bias here. None at all.

It was way past her nap time by the time she had her turn for portraits, but I think I got a handful of good ones.

Happy 18 month b-day little sister!

Miss E's portraits. Don't you love all those red curls and the freckles?

Thanks again to everyone for a fun Portrait Party. We look forward to our next one in August!

A sneak peek of Mr. C's photos.  One thing I love about C is that his smile is so big it fills his eyes.  You can't help but want to smile back! 













 Images of his big sister little Miss E coming soon!

Here are a few more of the B Family from yesterday's portrait party.

I love these shots of Miss C.  She makes awesome faces!  What a beautiful girl she is, don't you think?













Handsome Mr. D was such a good boy.  He sat really well even though what he really wanted was his blanky and a nap.  His mom tried to get the blanky out of the group shots, but he wouldn't have it!  I think it's sweet.








Little Miss B is just a cute in every way.  She's the same age as my 4 year old so it's been fun to see them grow up together.  Cutie Pie.





And then there's handsome Mr. A.  So easy going.  I love this expression!  Thanks for a good laugh!














Thanks again to the B family for being so darn beautiful. And for letting us take your photographs!

Looks like a party!

More of Mr. D | New Canaan Children's Photographer

Here are just a few more from Mr. D's One Year session.  Seriously, do they get any more handsome than him?  I don't think so.

Love those poutting lips.



'Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.' (Name that movie....)


Silly boy.


















He wasn't quite sure about this cupcake at first. 

Mr. D is One Year Old | New Canaan Children's Photographer

This handsome little guy turns one next week.  He was sooo easy to photograph, I knew within the first few minutes that we had some sweet shots.  Don't you love the beautiful blue eyes?  Here's a sneak peek until I get the rest edited and posted.

His mom gave theportraitparties.com the biggest compliment by booking us shortly after seeing the post with images from her niece and nephew last week (Mr. A and Miss M).  Thank you for that!!  I have enjoyed getting to know this family a lot!  What a kind family you are.  Thank you again for using us as your photographers.

Smile Naturally | Fairfield County Children's Photographer

I love the faces kids make when we ask them not to give a fake smile, but to smile naturally. Miss M sure was trying to do what her mom asked. I love this photo!!
