Classic Family Portraits | Manchester, CT

It’s always wonderful to continue to see families as they grow and want to come back to see me to capture it all. I last saw the Mathewson Family about 3 years ago for a spring photoshoot in downtown Hartford, Connecticut to celebrate their youngest turning 1. Now, a few years later, they were celebrating brother #2 celebrating HIS first birthday, and it was time to update the family photos, photos of each son, and a nice portrait for above their mantle. We decided this time to venture over to Wickham Park in Manchester, CT – one of my favorite evening locations in the summer. It’s usually fairly quiet especially on a weeknight, and we usually have most areas to ourselves (minus a few other photographers and clients and birdwatchers!). It was a love summer evening as we strolled through the various gardens with the boys, and watching their interactions with their parents. Of course, some silly candid photos were mixed in, but class family portraits are why most come to see me. They are hoping for those traditional, timeless photos they can display in their home every day and look back on fondly. With such a beautiful place and many options, I had quite a gallery to present them! In the end, we had a beautiful choice for their newest mantle piece and some other digital files to have as a keepsake. It was a pleasure to see this family again and see these boys grow up. It will be even more fun in a few years when both are running around and causing trouble! See some of their many favorites chosen below!
