Motherhood deserves more than a selfie
Family, newborn and maternity photography and short cinematic films in Hartford County and the Connecticut shoreline. I bring the studio to you.
Everything is going so fast. The bump is almost gone, the newborn weeks blur past, the toddler voice you swear you’ll remember forever… fades. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you’re not in any of the pictures.
That’s what I’m here for.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
I come to you
Lights, backdrop, and (for maternity) a full client wardrobe — set up right in your living room. Editorial quality without packing leaving your home.
You get the whole gallery
Every image I edit is yours to download and print. No games, no per-photo fees.
And I film
Before photography, I spent years as a professional video editor. Alongside your photos, I make short cinematic films with the real sound of your life in them. A photo holds how it looked. A film holds how it felt.
SESSIONS
Maternity
Editorial portraits of the woman inside the pregnancy, with my client closet brought to your door.
Families & Newborns
Honest, relaxed sessions for kids of any age, from brand new to teenagers.
A film
I could describe what watching one feels like, but you just have to see it.

Hello, I’m Daria
I’m a portrait photographer and a mom of two, based in Connecticut.
I started photographing maternity and motherhood because I know how rare it is for a mom to actually be in the frame with her kids — and when she is, it’s usually a quick phone photo that doesn’t feel like her. I wanted portraits like that for myself, and now I create them for other women.
My sessions are designed so you don’t have to think about anything. I handle the details. You just bring yourself.

This season is worth doing properly. You only get it once.
