Elopement or Intimate Wedding: Which One is Right for You? Are you thinking about a small wedding? Many couples want a simple day. They do not want a big party with hundreds of people.

How did we get here so fast? 🥹❤️
I love this boy more than words could ever say, and I am so unbelievably proud to be his mom.
My Sean. A reader, a writer, a photographer, a musician who seems to play every instrument he touches, an athlete, a hard worker, a volunteer, and somehow, in the middle of all of that, a senior absolutely killing it. He’s out volunteering right now, and when he gets home, we’ll be sitting down to submit college applications. Just like that, we’re here. On the edge of a whole new chapter.
I wish I could slow time down just a little, and hold onto these days a bit longer. Because no matter how old he gets, a part of me will always see that little boy with his Giraffy tucked into his adorable little hands, hear his sweet little voice saying "Mama," and remember when he was small enough to fit so perfectly into my arms. I wish I could bottle up those moments and keep them forever.
And while my heart is still catching up to how quickly the years have passed, I couldn`t be more proud of the person he is becoming. His heart, his curiosity, his talents, his determination, and the kindness he puts into the world make me so incredibly proud.
I thank the universe every day for giving me my Sean. Being his mom is one of the greatest gifts of my life. No matter how grown he gets, how many dreams he chases, or how far life takes him, I`ll always be right here, cheering him on.
Love you endlessly, my Sean-shine. Always and forever. ❤️
Some seniors have a plan for the future, and then there are seniors like Nate, who are already laying the groundwork for something incredible!
Nate is a senior at Suffield Regional Agriscience high school, serving as vice-president of his class and working toward a future in the business side of farming. He is talented, driven, accomplished, and one of the most well-spoken young men. With numerous awards earned throughout his high school career, it’s clear that Nate has made the most of his time there, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to do amazing things!
We had to make sure we got some shots with his truck (because, of course!), along with some portraits featuring the medallions he’s earned through his hard work and dedication. I also absolutely LOVED the outfits he chose for his session. He brought his own style, personality, and confidence, and I couldn’t be happier with how his portraits turned out!
Nate, I hope you’re proud of everything you’ve accomplished so far. You have such a bright future ahead of you, and I can’t wait to see where your hard work, ambition, and passion take you. The future of agriculture is in good hands!
Congratulations, Nate! Here’s to finishing your senior year strong and building a future you can be proud of!
After what felt like countless rounds of scheduling and rescheduling because of the weather, we finally got the most perfect end-of-summer, beginning-of-fall day for Ava’s senior portraits, and I think it was worth the wait!
@simsburyflowerbridge was the perfect backdrop for this session. Between the beautiful bridge, the woods and stream, and the open meadow, we had so many gorgeous spots to explore.
And then Ava brought along some of the sweetest pieces of her story: her first dance costume, her first gymnastics leotard, her baby blanket, and the cutest little ballet slippers in the world. I absolutely loved incorporating these special pieces from her childhood into her senior portraits. There’s something so beautiful about bringing a little piece of where you’ve been into a celebration of where you’re going.
Ava was absolutely amazing in front of the camera, and I truly love every single image from her session. I cannot wait to share the rest of these with her! ❤️
Ava, I hope your senior year is everything you’ve dreamed it would be and more. Here’s to celebrating how far you’ve come, all the memories that made you who you are, and all the incredible things still ahead!
Senior year is all about making memories, and this session was definitely one for the books! Morgan came to @7acres_farm in Wethersfield with her BFFs for a day filled with flowers, friendship, and fun.
The girls each got their own senior portraits, and then we captured the friendships that make this time of life so special with group photos. We even got a little taste of fall mixed in with all those beautiful blooms!
Morgan, I am so happy we did this session and gave you all these memories to keep. Wishing you the happiest, most exciting senior year! ❤️🎓
What could be better than senior portraits with your best friends in the middle of a beautiful flower farm? Josephine and her best girls made the trip to @7acres_farm in Wethersfield, and it was such a fun session!
The flowers gave us the most beautiful backdrop for their individual portraits, while the group photos captured all the friendship and fun that made this day so special. And of course, we had to mix in a few fall-inspired looks too!
Josephine, I’m so happy we got to do this together. Here’s to an unforgettable senior year and all the exciting things ahead! 🎓❤️
Seven beautiful girls, a gorgeous flower farm, and SO much fun! Charlize joined me at @7acres_farm in Wethersfield with her BFFs for a senior portrait session that I know we’ll all remember.
The flower fields were absolutely stunning, and we had the best time bouncing between individual portraits and group images. We even snuck in some beautiful fall vibes to mix things up!
Charlize, I am so happy you were part of this special session. I hope your senior year is filled with laughter, adventure, amazing memories, and everything you’re hoping for.❤️🎓
