Who I am

I’m Patty, the storyteller behind Patty Petal Photography. This is where childhood wonder, country roads, and true moments all find their way into the frame.

I live on a little farm tucked into the hills of Connecticut, where life is a mix of tractors, muddy boots, wildflowers, and a daughter who reminds me daily how quickly the years go. That’s what has shaped my photography: the belief that ordinary days are actually the ones we cling to most tightly when life moves forward.

I’m not the “say cheese” type.
I’m the “let’s wander, explore, and catch the real stuff” type.
The wind in the hair. The shy smiles. The belly laughs. The quiet moments you thought no one saw.
The stories that stay.

My style is warm, nostalgic, and sometimes a little bit magic. I focus on a blend of Americana charm, soft golden light, and heartfelt connection. Whether we’re celebrating a milestone, running through a field, or styling up one of our seasonal farm setups, I’m here to preserve the feeling behind the moment… not just the picture.

If you want photos that feel like memories, photos that feel lived-in, meaningful, and beautifully true — I’d be so honored to capture your chapter!
