Why Families Choose La Luna Photography

When parents look for the best family photographer in Westport, CT they choose La Luna Photography for my gentle approach, technical excellence, and ability to make every session fun and stress-free. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, creating a comfortable environment where kids can be themselves while parents relax and enjoy the moment.

I understand that family life moves quickly. That’s why my family photography sessions focus on capturing real interactions - giggles, hugs, happy faces, and quiet cuddles - rather than forced poses. Using a blend of natural light and professional digital and film photography, I produce high-quality images perfect for framed wall art, family albums, holiday cards, and digital sharing.

Josephine Ettinger / owner and founder

Every family has a story…capturing the smiles, laughter, and special moments are what have inspired me to create La Luna Photography.

As a mother of two, I understand just how precious photographs are because time is ever so fleeting. At La Luna Photography, I believe photography is more than clicking a shutter - it’s about freezing candid moments and creating beautifully lit images that capture the joy in the everyday.  The name, inspired by "La Luna" (the moon in Spanish), reflects my passion for luminous, whimsical compositions that highlight the natural beauty in every subject.  I would love to work with you to create lasting memories for your family.
