Patty Petal Photography

Stories that stay.

Patty Petal Photography is a Connecticut family and motherhood photographer.

I’m Patty.

People come to me for photos, but what they really want is a moment they can hold onto; something real, something that feels like their actual life.

I’m a mom and a farmer, so I get it. Kids don’t sit still. Seasons fly by. Half the moments you want to remember happen in three seconds and disappear before you can blink. That’s where I come in.

When I’m behind the camera, I’m tuned into what you’re feeling, not what might be forced. I follow the comfort, the humor, the nerves, the love, and the tiny details that belong only to your family.

I want you to feel seen.
I want your people to feel like themselves.
I want your photos to feel like home.

If you’re looking for warm hearted, thoughtfully crafted, photography that captures the tenderness of these golden days, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Kind words from families I’ve worked with…

  • Thank you for making the session so fun and comfortable. Your energy made all the difference.

    — First-time photo session client, maternity.

  • I'm crying looking at these. They are so beautiful.

    — First time mom about her Fresh 48 session gallery.

  • You were so patient, you never rushed him. That is something I truly appreciate.

    — Mom of 2 year old boy, family session.
