Editorial maternity, motherhood & portrait photography in New England
New England photographer based in Connecticut. Editorial maternity portraits in Hartford, Boston, and select destinations. Studio portrait sessions for women who want something real, intentional, and worth framing.
What I Specialize In
I work in two registers. In the studio, editorial portraits: sculpted light, designed wardrobe, every frame directed and built. On location, cinematic sessions: at home or outdoors, shaped around real moments and story. What ties them together is the same warm tone and a way of seeing I carried over from years of editing video.
These are images made to be printed, framed, and kept, the kind that will still feel like you in twenty years.
• Maternity portraits
• Motherhood and mom + baby sessions
• Couples and family sessions
• Women’s portraits and personal branding
Based in Connecticut. Editorial sessions in a Hartford studio, cinematic sessions at your home and outdoors in season. Short films available alongside any session.

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.
