Outdoorsy Types | Connecticut Child Photographer

Child Photographer Hadley Spagna captures two adorable children outdoors

November can get pretty chilly here in Connecticut. On the day of this session, it was no exception. After getting to know these cuties inside we came up with the idea of going outside. Boy was it worth it! Playing outside was one of my favorite parts from this session. We played lots of games. Including a game of Find Santa using a toy Santa from Rudolph and The Island of the Misfit Toys (which just so happens to be one of my all time favorite Christmas Specials). I’m so glad we went out into the cold that day. Our outdoor images are so special to me. I love how they are filled with happiness, cute-kidness and giggles.

These images were picked for the blog because I love how the sweet little girl is radiating happiness. Even better, her beloved friend Taggie made it in the shot. I wish I had more images of my kids and their special toys. Eventually they start to disappear out of the landscape and become a memory. This shot of Little Man is blogged because not only does he look adorable here; he walked right over to the back of his playset and said, “kimb, kimb” I couldn’t believe my ears! What a smartie! <3

Familiar Faces | Fairfield Connecticut Family and Child Photography

Three Sweet Smiling Faces by Fairfield Child Photographer Hadley Spagna

Do these faces look familiar to you? You may have seen this happy trio cracking up in my online portfolio. Though they’ve grown up since I last saw them, one thing has remained the same. They are still the same fun and happy kids filled with smiles and lots of laughter.

I couldn’t believe how this session flew by and how we captured so many different images in such a short period of time! There’s no doubt in my mind that this was a serendipitous session. At one point, the family’s black lab sauntered over into the frame, in the perfect place at the perfect time and then looked directly at me. What are the chances of that?

Thank you W Family for trusting me with your beautiful family’s photographs again! <3 <3

Lucky Me | Westport Family and Child Photographer

Three incredibly adorable boys!

Are you thinking what I think you’re thinking? I think you’re thinking that I titled this post “Lucky Me” because I captured these three handsome boys in the same frame at the same time, AND got eye contact as a bonus! Well, you’re half right if that’s what you were thinking. I AM lucky to have this shot of the three brothers all looking at me and letting me capture a glimpse of their personalities.

I really titled this post “Lucky Me” because these three boys’ mom picked me to be their family photographer. She’s an accomplished, talented, fun, creative, amazing local artist. When I saw her work I was awe-struck, humbled and flattered all at the same time.

This time of year I can’t help but to reflect and think about what I’m thankful for. The amazing families I have spent time with this fall are at the top of my list. I know my clients have a choice, thank you for picking me guys <3 <3

C’mon In || Sneak Peek by Westport Child Photographer Hadley Spagna

Two adorable boys

Before photography, I worked in real estate valuations. I spent most of my days talking to real estate agents and appraisers and talking to them about BPOs and 1004 forms. Most of my calls were short, but I always tried to take the time to learn a little more about the voice on the other end of the phone. It wasn’t until I started photographing children that I realized what I loved about my old job was not the BPOs and appraisals, but the relationships I developed with the agents and appraisers that I spoke with daily.

To me, photography is just as much about relationships as it is about ink on paper. The most gratifying part of my day as a photographer is when I earn my little subject’s trust. Not only is it a gift from the heart, but it allows me the ability to capture moments that are true, real and sincere.

Before I earned these little guys’ trust, I saw two beautiful little people. After I earned their trust I saw two beautiful little souls.
