Vera's Newborn Session

As a photographer, sometimes I hit the jackpot with clients. The D family is one of those families that newborn photographers just dream about. First of all, they are adorable and photogenic. Second, they are a dream to work with. The thing about Connecticut is - it's small. Some of my clients come from the other side of the state, and I am so flattered that they would make the trip to visit my studio in Westbrook. And with a newborn baby too! It's a joy, really. I would certainly have done an in-home session if that's what this family wanted, but my studio is a really easy bet to have the best lighting and most relaxing feel.

And don't you LOVE her name? Vera James. She's already all set for Hollywood!

As a full service photographer, I had everything all set for mama and Vera's session. My hair and makeup artist was ready to bring mama some glam and I had a selection of dresses for her to choose from. Mama chose this amazing dress from Baltic Born.

Vera's simple linen bow is linked here.

You can see all of my beautiful dresses, available to borrow here. Find the blog post "Client closet" or "Studio Wardrobe".


My goal is to make this a simple, stress-free and beautiful experience!

A Note from Ashley


Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work! I hope you enjoyed the images from my latest newborn session at the studio in Connecticut!

I have a beautifully simple and bright studio in Westbrook Connecticut, but also travel to my clients’ homes or meet families on location to create beautiful artwork from their images. 

If you would like to see more of my work, please browse the Gallery of Work tab and make sure to mention your favorites.

As a mom of three boys, I know that these moments are fleeting. Photography is the only way to capture these moments in time and that’s my ultimate goal with my clients. The portraits of my children are priceless. 

If you would like more information about a session, please fill out the contact form on my website and I will personally email or text you back within two business days.
