Renee Descoutures: CT Maternity Photographer- Pretty in Pink

Oh. my. goodness!! I can't even begin to describe how much I LOVED photographing this session! When I arrived I met a beautiful couple so completely in love with each other and their baby girl. Their home was buzzing with excitement and I couldn't help but relive some of my own memories when my husband and I were preparing for the arrival of our first child. I love that I am able to capture and preserve some of these memories for my clients.

The Momma and Papa...

I love how he is looking at her in the shot below. One of my favorites for sure...

along with this next one :)

Both glowing!

Did I mention gorgeous??

...with a perfectly round belly!

Love this moment!

And how handsome is Dad? I love that he joined in the fun and wore pink!

We were lucky enough to have this shoot on one of the warmer fall days and decided to head outside for a bit.

Another one of my favorites below with the warm soft light and the happy couple:)

I had such a hard time choosing which images to highlight in this post. I hope you enjoyed seeing a few of my many favorites. Thanks for stopping by!!

P.S. Please don't be shy. Leave me a note to let me know you were here!

Renee Descoutures Photography-CT Newborn Photographer: Perfectly New!

I am thrilled when I am asked to capture a newborn's first photos. I love this precious teeny tiny stage and it only lasts a few weeks. When you combine how fast time flies and sleep deprivation from feedings every 1-2 hours it gets hard for parents to remember the details. I gladly will capture and preserve the memories for you:)

Baby Katerina: A perfect angel at only a week and a half old!

Aww, those little lips...

and the light little eye lashes.....

and the little squishy face...

...all snuggled up!!

Such a sweet baby girl!

Oh how I miss the baby stage! In the blink of an eye my youngest has just turned 4!!

Katerina is a doll! Enjoy every moment!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Renee Descoutures Photography-CT Child Portrait Photographer: Little Girls and Tutus!

There is just something so sweet about little girls in tutus! I can think up a zillion different ways to photograph them. This little girl, Arianna, not only is adorable but is full of spunk! I knew she would be great to capture in a tutu.

We started off at the ice cream shoppe. I love the picture combo below for a few reasons. 1) The drippy cone is classic kid style . 2)I love that you can see how small she is compared to the mailbox. It's a fun way to look back and realize how little they were at certain ages.

Our drippy cone didn't last as long as planned but no worries. I go with the flow. We had a gorgeous day, a cool green bike and a few neat brick walls to work with. And lots of laughs!

I love the hands on the hips here...so cute.






The next three black and whites are my favorites!

Big thanks to Arianna for being a wonderful model! I hope you and your family love them!!

P.S. If you stopped by and enjoyed this post let me know! Your comments make my day:)!

Renee Descoutures-CT Family Portrait Photographer:Sweet Family of Three!

Sweet Family of Three!

Quite possibly the easiest family I have ever photographed. Seriously. All three are beautiful and photogenic! And... little Livi looked my way and smiled just like that! I am always prepared for lots of running when toddlers are involved... but this session only called for a few straddle jumps toward the end:) No joke..the kids love it! Here are a few shots that I captured!

I love the next shot, everyone is so happy and Livi is laughing... probably at me doing something silly:)

I love the sweet cuddles with mom!

And here she is so excited to show Dad all of the fun things she was seeing at the beach.

Can't go to Lighthouse Point Park and not get a nice shot with the lighthouse!

The carousel is another must! Actually, I suggested this location especially for the carousel and am so glad the family was up for it. The only bummer was that there happened to be an event that day and the carousel wasn't running for another few hours. So I only had a few minutes to grab the next few shots since a non-moving carousel isn't much fun for anyone!

K&K thank you so much for a great family session!! You are a wonderful family and it was so nice meeting you and your precious girl! Hope you love them as much as I do!!

Renee Descoutures-CT Child Portrait Photographer :Kiarra

So here we are at the end of September and right in the middle of apple season. As you know I've been back blogged and am still posting sessions from over the summer. Here is a session that was done on the perimeter of an apple orchard just as the fruit was beginning to grow.

Kiarra was my model for the day.She is one of my beautiful and photogenic little nieces. With a cute sundress, hat & braids, she was perfect for this location!

I love capturing the details that remind you of childhood. Like in the shot below...what little kid doesn't have a band-aid somewhere at any given time?..and there is just the last bit of nail polish left on her thumb...so cute!

What a natural little model!!

Gotta love the sassiness in this next shot!

A sweet innocent face and then..

a little glimmer of fiesty!

Laughing at me being silly.

And a big smile to finish up! This really was one of the last shots..she was so adorable I couldn't stop snapping away and she was happy to take a break;)

This was such a fun session and I can't even begin to pick favorites! Can you? Let me know...I love feedback!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Kiarra, thank so much for being such a great model! You are absolutely adorable! We love you!!
