Couple's Mini Sessions
Hello friends!! Over the past few weeks, Arturo and I have been thinking about the idea of Couple's Mini Sessions. We absolutely adore photographing couples and the love they share. So often a couple may think they'll only need a photographer if they're engaged, getting married or celebrating an anniversary. While those are all totally valid reasons to hire a professional photographer, today's post was written to encourage you to celebrate the in-between moments of your relationship. Maybe you two just found out your family is going to be growing, or you just want to remember how your life looked together at this particular point in time. Plus, it's always nice to have updated photographs of you both around your home! Still wondering why you should hire a professional photographer to take photos of you two? Read my blog post, 4 Everyday Reasons to Book a Couple's Portrait Session.
Aside from the fact that we love working together on each of our engagement sessions and wedding days, Arturo and I are big believers in celebrating life every single day, no matter how big or small whatever it is you're celebrating. Because of this, we've decided to offer Couple's Mini Sessions! Whether you're celebrating an anniversary or just everyday life together, our mini sessions allow us to document your life and love as it looks today.
The Couple's Mini Sessions are $250 and include the following:
* A 30-minute session at the location of your choice
* Digital images
* Private, password protected online gallery
* Print release
* BONUS: Session planning guide with what to expect, outfit inspiration and more.

There’s just something about a coastal Connecticut engagement session that will always have my heart. From the rocky beaches and sailboats drifting through the harbor to the soft, ever-changing New England light, the Connecticut shoreline creates a beautiful backdrop for engagement photos in every season. Samantha and Connor’s engagement session was the perfect example of why you don’t need perfect weather to create beautiful photographs!
There’s something pretty magical about the way love can make two people forget everything else around them. When you add an early fall afternoon, beautiful gardens, and the timeless architecture of Waveny House, you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable engagement session.
It’s always so sweet to watch a couple laugh their way through an engagement session, even when Mother Nature decides to change the script. Clare and Jeff’s coastal Connecticut summer engagement session at Walnut Beach in Milford, Connecticut was the perfect reminder that the best photos often come from simply embracing the moment together.
A coastal New England spring is undeniably romantic. The salty breeze, the soft gray skies, the quiet charm of historic streets; it all creates the kind of atmosphere that feels straight out of a love story. Devon and Kevin’s engagement session at Southport Harbor and the historic streets of Southport Historic District was exactly that!
There’s something undeniably romantic about a windy day by the water. The salty air, crashing waves, and movement in every frame create the kind of magic that can’t be staged, and Marissa and Dante’s coastal engagement session was the perfect example of that.
Brenna and Stephen’s Hammonasset Beach engagement session was the perfect reminder of just how beautiful this area of New England truly is. Set against the peaceful coastline of Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, Connecticut, their session felt effortless, romantic, and full of genuine connection.
Las Catalinas feels like a little slice of Europe dropped right onto the Pacific Ocean. With its cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and relaxed coastal vibe, it’s a photographer’s dream and an incredibly romantic backdrop for an engagement session. Sam and Miguel’s destination engagement session was dreamy as ever, ending with an incredible Costa Rican sunset!
Fall engagement sessions in New England never disappoint, especially when they take place at Waveny Park! Jackie and Alex’s October session was filled with vibrant fall color, golden light, and the sweetest moments between two people who couldn’t stop smiling at each other.
I had the joy of photographing Megan and Craig’s engagement session in the charming neighborhood surrounding Southport Harbor. Southport is one of my favorite spots in Connecticut for portraits; it’s full of coastal New England charm, with its historic homes, quiet streets, and the harbor sparkling just as the sun begins to set.
Fall engagement sessions in Connecticut are simply the best. The crisp autumn air, colorful foliage, and charming New England streets create the perfect setting for celebrating two people in love.
