DARIA DESCHAIN
Editorial maternity, motherhood & portrait photography in Connecticut
Studio portrait sessions for women who want something real, intentional, and worth framing. Hartford, CT.
What I photograph
I specialize in studio portraits with editorial lighting — the kind of images that feel like they belong in a magazine but are entirely, unmistakably you.
• Maternity portraits
• Mom + baby sessions
• Women’s portraits
• Headshots & personal branding
Based in Connecticut, shooting at a Hartford studio and on location seasonally.


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.
Ready to book your session?
Tell me what you have in mind. I’d love to hear from you.
