Baby Christopher Newborn Session | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Newborn Photographer

Baby Christopher was just as sweet as can be at just 12 days old. He was such an easy going baby and happy to sleep the morning away, stretching out occasionally but then dozing back to sleep. He gave us some of the most adorable expressions, and as always I was blown away at how distinct his little personality was already!

Congratulations to this adorable little family - thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a special time in your life!

Kieran and Maeve Twin Newborn Session | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Newborn Photographer

I had such a wonderful time photographing twins, Kieran and Maeve. It was incredible to see what distinctly different personalities these two already had. Kieran was totally go with the flow and content with sleeping his way through the shoot, no matter how many times his sister squished him or pinched him. And Maeve was the little fighter, intent on only doing the poses she wanted in the way she wanted them done.

When you look at the family pictures and the way Mom and Dad look at these two, it's easy to see they are already in love.

As always, this newborn session was held on location in the client's home. All props, rugs, and backdrops were supplied and set up right in their living room. If you live in Connecticut and are expecting, reach out to me to find out more about my in-home newborn photography sessions!

Lucy's First Birthday Cake Smash | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Children's Photographer

This post is a special one for a couple of reasons. Lucy is one of my favorite little ladies, from one of my favorite little families. Lucy was also my very first client EVER, nearly a year ago when she was only three weeks old. We brought this year full circle by doing her first birthday cake smash together last weekend.

Jessica, from the Goose and Bear Fine Baked Goods, provided us with this beautiful naked cake which helped to bring our vision to life of a sweet and innocent, rustic, vintage set up (is that a thing? not sure, but it is now!). Combine that with some adorable outfits, beautiful peach rosettes, and a real baby's breath crown made by Lucy's talented mom and this was a set up to die for.

Lucy didn't love having her pictures taken, but she sure did love her cake! And any cake smash that ends with the baby throwing, yes throwing, the entire cake across the set I consider a success!

Happy birthday to Lucy! And thank you to mom and dad for lending me your beautiful family all year to be my guinea pigs...couldn't have gotten this far without you!

Jackie and Tyler Gender Reveal | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Maternity Photographer

I was SO excited when an old friend from another life reached out to me to book a newborn session for next August. We decided to do a fun gender reveal to announce the news to family and friends.

It was a cold and gloomy day when we did this shoot, but we certainly brightened things up when neon pink came out of the paint tubes...which can only mean one thing, IT'S A GIRL! Just loved capturing their reaction to the news and the true love between them.

Congratulations Jackie and Tyler...can't wait to meet your little lady in August!

CT One Year Cake Smash | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Cake Smash Photographer

When I had my son, the thing I was told the most throughout my pregnancy was how fast it goes. It is so cliche, but probably the truest thing I've ever been told.

It seems like just yesterday I was taking Owen's Six-Month Pictures in the gorgeous fall foliage, and here we are celebrating his first birthday with a cake smash photoshoot! Owen rocked his session - although I have a sneaking suspicious he might have some practice being in front of the camera! While a lot of babies are shy with their first taste of cake, Owen dove right in - feet and all. This is definitely my kind of kid. And as much as he loved chowing down, he loved clean up even more.

A very happy birthday to sweet Owen - I know your mommy and daddy love you very much, and I can't wait to see what this next year brings!
