One is the time-honored, formal bridal portrait of my nanny in her wedding dress holding her bouquet and the other photo is a candid snap of my grandmother and grandfather in the back of a car on the way to their reception. One moment is calm and gentle and almost a little mysterious while the other looks like a still from a movie, with a smile so genuine on my grandma's face that it's impossible not to smile back.
Both photos influenced the way I tell stories. They made me see the beauty in both authentically candid moments as well as traditional ones and that both are iconic. They also created the desire to produce photos that become heirlooms. I love the idea that one of my photos might wind up on a kid's bookshelf in 50 years and provide a tangible link to a past they don't remember but want to know more about.
One is candid, one is classic. They're both iconic.
I LOVE MY GRANDMOTHER'S WEDDING PHOTOS

I first fell in love with photography on my first trip to Europe. I went to Florence and spent my days walking around, sightseeing and taking photos with a bright red Canon Powershot. Since then I've definitely upgraded my gear, but my love for waking up in a new city and exploring it with my camera is still the same.

I love the Fall. It's a combination of the perfect weather, the smells and the foliage that make it my favorite season. (Plus the apple cider donuts, let's be real.) I particularly love the way Fall plays out where I live, peak foliage is so insanely beautiful.

I love bubbles. Whether they're as is, Sunday morning mimosas or an Aperol Spritz, some form of champagne is my fave.

We connected on Bumble and met up at a local brewery one afternoon in 2022. Our quick date turned into a three hour conversation and it's been history ever since. He's the best and has inspired (and continues to inspire) my work in so many ways.

I first went to Nantucket when I was a kid on a family vacation and have gone back several times since. There's something about it that is magical to me and it's hard to describe. My dream wedding to photograph would be a Nantucket weekend wedding.

I grew up with dogs, but this little lady came with the guy when he moved in and thus began my life as a cat person. Her name is Lana and this picture of her melts my heart. She lives the life and has convinced me that in my next one I would not be disappointed if I came back as a well cared for house cat.

I was referred to Connie by friends who worked with her for their wedding and highly recommended her and I’m so glad I did! Connie was very friendly, organized, and efficient throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. I will highly recommend Connie to friends and family in the future!"
"photos are very important to me and i love the way they came out - bright, classic and candid.
