About CT Shoreline Photographer, Linda Sobolewski

My interests are simple: coffee, workouts, and being outdoors surrounded by beautiful scenery. There’s nothing like getting up early to photograph the sun rising over the CT shoreline. I enjoy taking high school senior portraits, lifestyle newborn photography, and capturing family gatherings in beautiful settings. My goal as a family photographer in Connecticut is to provide easy and comfortable portrait sessions as well as timeless, lasting images.

Summer Petite Sessions, 2025

Summer Night Petite Sessions

There’s something magical about beach evenings in the summer—long light, warm air, and that soft coastal glow. I’m so excited to bring back these short and sweet sessions again this year, and I can’t wait to capture some truly special moments with you during my Summer Petite Sessions 2025.

These sessions are designed to be simple, relaxed, and just the right amount of time—30 minutes at a beautiful shoreline location, timed to take advantage of the soft light leading up to sunset. These exclusive sessions are being offered with limited availability on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you’ve been thinking about a beach session, this is your chance.

When and Where Are They Happening?

This year’s Summer Petite Sessions 2025 will take place on two summer evenings: one in late June and another in early September, both at a beautiful beach in Old Saybrook. These sessions are timed close to low tide, which allows us to walk out along the sandbars—one of my favorite backdrops.

Booking Details:

A newsletter will be sent out soon with the official session dates and times, along with a private booking link. From there, you’ll be able to select your preferred date and time through a simple online form.

Booking in advance is a great way to pencil this into your summer calendar and ensure your spot before they fill up—these exclusive Summer Petite Sessions are being offered on a first-come, first-served basis!

Once your session is reserved, I’ll send over my full Style & Planning Guide to help you feel totally prepared—from wardrobe tips to what to expect the day of.

While full sessions offer more flexibility with location, timing, and an expanded gallery + print credit, these Petite Sessions are the perfect option if you’re looking for something simpler, at a lower price point, and still want beautiful, updated family photos in a relaxed beach setting.
