Lulu | 5th Birthday Portraits | Windsor, CT Family Photographer

What more can I say about this little girl? She’s been coming to see me since she was one for her cake smash photos and our annual Santa Experience holiday photos and it’s such a joy to see her and her family every year! In our studio, we’ve done just about everything we’ve had to offer so far with our cake smash, paint smash, a princess tea party, and last year a confetti & balloon photoshoot which was amazing! This year we decided since she is getting older to do something super simple. And earlier in the year after we had modified the studio and created a white brick wall and bed set up, they liked the idea of using it for her next birthday portraits. It was so much fun to talk to her about what has been happening this year, how school is going, and try to get those real smiles by making her giggle and laugh. We did some photographs on the bed (and of course always have to do a quick update of the entire family together!), then with some chairs in front of the brick wall (she looks so grown up here!), and finally we used our white seamless paper and had a dance party! This really helped her let loose a little bit and the hardest part (for me) was capturing all of her fun dance moves and facial expressions! We always love photographing some snuggles with Mom at the end of the session (we’re always the ones behind the camera after all, right?!). I just love how her photos came out and they looked so beautiful in another keepsake album they will enjoy and be able to look through together as the years pass. Both our custom and simple milestone sessions (in studio or on location for portraits) are always available to book year round! We suggest booking your appointment at least 4-6 weeks in advance for planning purposes and availability because dates do fill up quickly! We are booking well into 2020 now – and don’t forget that winter/snow portraits are a great way to get back outside and have some fun with the kids as a family too! Enjoy some of the many favorites from Lulu’s 5th birthday portraits!
