Outdoor Studio Paint Smash | Plantsville, CT

How quickly two years flew by for one of my little clients! It seems like just yesterday she was born, and last year came back to see me for her unicorn cake smash, and now she’s all grown up and 2 years old! Now her original birthday photoshoot at my Newington, CT studio was supposed to happen back in April, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve had to stay closed to photography indoors. And with things pushing later and later into June for reopening, we wanted to still try to make sure to reschedule all of our appointments in a timely manner. So, we decided to build an outdoor stage at our location in order to still have the same studio-style look, while also staying within the current state guidelines and being as safe as possible for our clients and for ourselves. It took some additional work and time, but in the end we had a fun time! She was ready to get to work as soon as she saw the paint and materials! Each kiddo starts out with some “clean” portraits (if we can manage them!) and then we move on to painting a keepsake canvas to take home, and finally the mess can begin! The great thing about our paint smash sessions is that each one is completely unique to how that child decides to paint and create! I love to see how different the colors schemes end up coming out and even Mom & Dad participate sometimes too! She was sufficiently messy by the time we were done with her outdoor studio paint smash, and then it was time for a bath to clean it all off and head home! They decided on one of our newest products, our Favorites Box, for some updated beautiful mats and prints of some of their favorite photos and matching keepsake digital files! It’s going to be a popular way to commemorate milestones and switch out new photos to frames too! Our studio is aiming to reopen indoors as of June 17th, and we actively booking into the fall as many hope to reschedule and newly schedule their photoshoots. Contact us today!
