Fall Family Photos at Tilley Pond Park in Darien, CT

tilley-pond-park-family-portraits-top-ct-nyc-destination-wedding-engagement-photographer-shaina-lee-photography-photo

When Sandy of Roseville Designs asked me to photograph her beautiful girls for their annual family holiday card, there was no way I was going to say no!  Though at this point in my photography career I focus on weddings and boudoir, every once in a while I'll still photograph some family portraits, especially for industry friends!  We met up a Tilley Pond Park in Darien, Connecticut for a quick family mini session.  Despite it being early November, fall came late this year here in New England, which provided Sandy and her daughters, Finley and Layla, a beautiful backdrop for their photos.  I was excited to have Sandy jump into a few photos with her girls too!  Aren't they a beautiful trio?

There's a saying that rain on your wedding day is good luck, but even if you're not superstitious, there's something undeniably romantic about celebrating your love while the rain falls outside.  It slows everything down, encourages everyone to be present, and reminds you that the best weddings aren't perfect because of the weather; they're perfect because of the people. Cara and John proved exactly that during their summer wedding celebration.
