Welcome, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Millicent, but everyone calls me Milli. As long as you don’t call me Maleficent or Medicine like they did when I was a kid, we’re good.
I’m a family and event photographer based in Stratford, Connecticut, serving Fairfield County and the NYC area. I photograph real life as it unfolds, with color, emotion, and intention.
At heart, I’m a storyteller. I believe your photos should feel honest, not overly posed or polished. The laughter, the chaos, the quiet in between moments, those are the pieces that become the memories you hold onto.
I grew up in New York City, where the streets were my playground. In my twenties, I caught the travel bug hard. I spent years exploring new countries and cities, learning their stories, and discovering more of my own along the way. My art grew with me too. I used to sketch graphic illustrations, tag walls with graffiti, paint for art shows, and even do body art at nightclubs. Each stage brought me a little closer to what truly lights me up , storytelling through photography.
Eventually, through faith, trial and error, and a lot of growth, I found my place behind the camera, documenting families and meaningful celebrations in a way that feels deeply human.
For a long time, I thought I’d just be the fun aunt. PCOS had me believing motherhood might not be part of my story. But life had other plans. At 33, I welcomed my first daughter, Alma, which means soul in Spanish. Two years later, I welcomed my second, Vida, meaning life. Motherhood changed everything.
I realized how quickly the moments pass. I also realized how often moms are missing from the photos altogether. I had countless images of my children with everyone else, but very few with me. Just blurry selfies and rushed snapshots.
That’s when it clicked. One day, our kids will look back at these memories and ask, where was mom?
That question is at the core of my work. I have a soft spot for mothers, because you deserve to be seen too. You deserve to be part of the story you’ve built, not just the one documenting it.
My sessions are relaxed, organic, and centered around your real life. I don’t do stiff poses or forced smiles. I guide gently when needed, step back when moments are unfolding, and create space for connection to happen naturally.

I love working with families who care more about how the photos feel than how perfectly posed they look. Families who want images that feel like them, not like a performance.
I also photograph meaningful events, birthdays, quinceañeras, engagements, and celebrations of all kinds, with a documentary approach that honors the emotion and energy of the day.
I’m bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish, and I value creating an experience where families feel comfortable, understood, and at ease.
When you book with me, you’re booking more than photos. You’re booking someone who will walk you through the process, support you, and show up fully present to capture the moments that matter.
Photography isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about preserving the way life feels. The sneaky hugs, the laughter when no one’s watching, the quiet moments that become tomorrow’s favorites.
That’s the magic I look for, and that’s what I love giving back to the families I photograph.
