Hello, I'm

Marianna

A family photographer based in Newtown, Connecticut. My love for photography began in the most personal way: through the lens of my own childhood. Growing up, family vacations were always marked by joyful photoshoots- moments of laughter, connection, and togetherness that became treasured keepsakes that my siblings and I still admire today. It has been a gift.

That's the gift I hope to share with other families today. I specialize in capturing the spirit of your family- whether it's a playful afternoon in a field, a cozy moment at home, or a milestone worth celebrating. My goal is to create timeless images that feel as joyful to experience as they are to look back on.

Let's make memories last :)

My Approach

My goal is to create an atmosphere where joy naturally unfolds

I believe family photo sessions should feel like play, not pressure. That’s why I design each shoot to be fun, relaxed, and inclusive—so every family member, from toddlers to grandparents, feels at ease and seen.

Before we meet, I thoughtfully plan pose prompts that spark natural connection and laughter. I bring along small toys to delight little ones and often play music to set a lighthearted tone. Whether we’re dancing, giggling, or simply soaking in a quiet moment, my goal is to create an atmosphere where joy naturally unfolds—and the photos reflect that.

Because the best images aren’t just posed, they’re felt.
