Emotive Photographer
Family. Maternity. Couples.
Hello, I am Ari Smith.
I am a family & maternity photographer located in Eastern CT.
I service New London County, Westerly RI, and surrounding areas.
A little about me > Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I don't have a favorite color; I love all Earthy tones. I am Bilingual [Hablo Espanol]
My style of photography is storytelling meaning less of "look at me and smile" and more of "look at one another and pretend I am not even here."
I love capturing photos that spark emotion and simply remind us how blessed we are to love and be loved. My favorite photos consist of hugs, kisses, and genuine laughter.
As a mama to 3 children of my own I know life is full of stressful moments but having photos taken should not be one of them that is why I strive to make our time together as enjoyable and relaxed as possible.
My goal every session is to make sure you are comfortable while I focus on what makes you and your family so special! I look forward to meeting you!

I am grateful for every opportunity to continue to do what I love to do.
Your story is worth telling.
