Local Photography in Middletown, CT

My name is Kaitlyn and I am a photographer who focuses on personal branding, headshots, boudoir, families, engagements, and real estate photography. My 7+ years of marketing experience and my passion for photography has helped me create of dream business of helping other small businesses with their photography to help them attract their ideal clients. I also love taking photographs of people in their brightest light whether that's with their family or even announcements such as engagements. Being able to capture these special moments in their lives makes me feel accomplished each and every time.

Hi, I’m A.d. (they/them) —the creative eye behind the lens here. For a direct quote or any questions, please feel free to message me @a.d_galleries_photography on Instagram. For as long as I can remember, photography has been my passion. My style currently varies between bright and airy, retro and blurry, or warm and natural. I aim to create a comfortable atmosphere using prompts rather than poses, making each session unique to the individuals I work with. So far, I’m loving every second of this journey, and I can’t wait to work with you and bring your story to life through my lens!

I call myself an "all purpose" photographer serving Connecticut. Photography is a HUGE passion of mine! There are two things I love about photography: The first is the ability to capture a moment in time; it’s exhilarating the moment the shutter clicks. The second thing I love is interacting with you, my client. I love being able to get to know my clients and their families. I have the opportunity to quietly observe and capture moments of their love, personalities, movements, gestures and depth. It’s the greatest honor I could ever have.
