Rita and Jeffrey's Maternity Session - Stratford, CT

Rita reached out to me to book a newborn and maternity session over the summer, and I immediately knew where I wanted to do the maternity shoot.  I had found this hidden gem in Stratford, and had been waiting for the perfect shoot to use it.  I was so happy when she loved it too.

I was even more excited when she sent me a picture of the custom maternity gown she was having made.  Wow, I love nothing more than a brave mama-to-be.  It was the perfect combination for this beautiful spot and this gorgeous golden light.

Rita and Jeffrey were so full of love and excitement, and it was certainly contagious.  Little did I know, Jeffrey had his own surprise up his sleeve.   He shocked us all after asking for "just one more shot", and dropping down to one knee.  Well...I'll let the pictures do the talking.  What a beautiful moment, and I was so honored to be able to capture it!

Congrats to Rita and Jeffrey on their beautiful engagement and their baby girl on the way - so many exciting things ahead!
