NEW Fresh 48 and Lifestyle Newborn Sessions | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Newborn Photographer

I'm very excited to be offering two brand new services to new parents: Fresh 48 Hospital Sessions and Lifestyle In-Home Newborn Sessions.

Fresh 48 Sessions can be booked in addition to or independently from a regular newborn session. They are a quick and painless 30 minute session right within your hospital room! I'm happy to travel within Fairfield, New Haven and Middlesex Counties in Connecticut.

As a limited time special, I am offering the next three moms that book a full newborn package, a FREE Fresh 48 session along with it. Session must be booked by July 1, 2016.

Lifestyle Newborn Sessions can be booked in place of a posed studio newborn session, or can take place within a posed session. Lifestyle sessions are a shorter and more affordable option than posed sessions, and result in a beautiful, natural glimpse into your everyday life with a newborn.

Stefanie Cole is a full-service, on-location newborn and family photographer based out of Trumbull, Connecticut. Stefanie specializes in newborns, children, maternity and engagements. Please visit www.stefaniecolephotography.com for more information!

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

I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of my favorite aspects of this business are the relationships. Not only are the new relationships that I've developed incredible, but it has given me the opportunity to reconnect with so many people that I've met in my past. Christa was someone I went through the MBA program with at Sacred Heart, so we spent a lot of time together during those intense months! I was thrilled to hear from her that she and her husband, Nick, were expecting and wanted to book a session.

I traveled to their gorgeous home in Middletown, CT for their in-home newborn photography session. We decided to do a combination of posed shots and lifestyle, and I just love the way their gallery turned out!

Congratulations to Christa and Nick on your beautiful little lady...enjoy every minute with her, it goes fast!

Baby Leah Newborn Session | Stefanie Cole Photography | Milford, CT Newborn Photographer

After having a slew of boys in my first year of business, it seems I'm now on a baby girl streak. I am really enjoying using all of the adorable accessories I have accumulated over the past several months. For this session I traveled to Milford, CT for Baby Leah's newborn photoshoot. This little girl was on her best behavior for our session. She slept like a dream, and is the first baby in my career who did not poop or pee on me at all...photographer win! Is she not just the cutest little thing you've ever seen?

A huge reason why this session was so successful was because Mom and Dad followed my prep instructions to a T. They kept Leah awake before I got there, warmed their apartment up above 80 degrees, and gave her a nice big feeding before we started. All of these small steps go a long way in ensuring that a newborn sleeps through their (mostly naked) photo shoot!

This is just another wonderful example of an in-home, natural light newborn photo shoot. Scroll through and enjoy all the squishy cuteness!

Greenwich Maternity Session | Stefanie Cole Photography | Trumbull, CT Newborn Photographer

This was such a lovely maternity session at Bruce Park in Greenwich, CT. I'd never been to this park before, but it was so lovely! The colors were absolutely gorgeous and it was perfect weather for us.

Check out a few of my favorite from this session. A big congrats to mom and dad on the birth of their little boy last week!

Baby Jaliyah's First Birthday | Stefanie Cole Photography | Stratford, CT Cake Smash Photographer

This shoot is extra special to me because Baby Jaliyah was my very first newborn that I photographed almost a year ago. It means the world to me that Mom and Dad chose to use me again for her first birthday cake smash session. I am quickly learning that watching my little clients grow is the best part of this job.

Jaliyah was not even 5 lbs when I photographed her as a newborn, but she has grown into a big, strong little girl and she loved this cake! It toppled over at the end, but that didn't slow her down. We did our session at one of my favorite spots, Booth Memorial Park in Stratford, CT. There were just a few blooms left that we were able to snag as the perfect backdrop for her cake smash!

Scroll through and enjoy this little lady's cuteness Happy Birthday, sweet Jaliyah! You are so loved! <3

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

Well, in case you missed the abundance of pictures I posted...baby Maisie is here! She was born 7 lbs 5 oz, 20.5 inches and one month later is already up to 9 lb 13 oz, 21.5 inches. This little girl is one tough cookie, and loves to eat, hold her head up, and get kisses from her brother.

I understand now why people recommend that you hire a photographer to do your own newborn photos. The process of taking these was a disaster, which is by no means an exaggeration, and she was my most uncooperative client to date. But nonetheless, we got some beautiful images and one month later, I'm going to stop torturing her for a bit :)

Welcome to the world, Maisie Jean...we love you!
