Albany child photographer, family photographer bio picture
  • Albany Child and Family Photographer

    Thea Coughlin is an Albany, NY photographer whose unique, fun, boutique style of photography captures the art in life.
    I am a child and family photographer located in Albany, New York. I love spending time laughing with my clients and their families while capturing the story of their life in photographs. I live here in the Capital District with my delightful 5 yr old boy, my charming and loving husband and three cats.

    This site is a great place for new clients to get a sense of my personality and what a session with me might be like.
    I try to post a couple times a week about recent photo sessions, family fun activities, and cool finds that I think would add a great flair to family and child photographs. I hope you enjoy reading and seeing my photographs. Feel free to leave a note in the comments to say hello. I love knowing you stopped by.

Group Photo Session ~ Anker ~ Sneak Peek

Family Photo Session ~ Smith Family ~ Niskayuna Photographer Thea Coughlin

I love photographing families in multiple settings, getting the chance to hang out with super fun loving people is what makes my job so wonderful! This little man is so sweet and adorable.

There are so many wonderful pictures from the session I had a hard time choosing for the sneak peek.

Every time Trey and I head to the Crossings he spends endless amounts of time playing with the water fountain. Grant found it just as interesting as Trey does.

One of the coolest features of the water fountain is that the water drains out the bottom and runs to a small drain. I have yet to meet a little boy who isn’t at least the slightest bit courious about water drains:)

Then we headed over to the swings where Grant tried out both the standard swing

and the tire swing…

we took a walk around the pond and came across a momma duck and her babies…

I was blown away by Grant’s vast knowledge of airplanes. He identified the airplanes that flew overhead at the Crossings and then when we stopped at the Towers for ice cream, he knew all the planes that were hanging inside. Very impressive for a little guy.

After ice cream we headed to their house where I got to see Grant’s plane collection, watch some super giggle tackle football, and some sprinkler fun. On top of all that Grant sang me some tunes. I loved spending time with the Smith family! So full of love laughter and fun.

Can’t wait to show them the full gallery…..

Thank you guys for a great time!

Science themed Enrichment Program ~ Our World Montessori ~ Niskayuna Editorial Photography

In my last post I mentioned that I was hired to photograph some of the Our World Montessori Enrichment Programs. You can see the post about the Train themed Enrichment day and a little more information on what Enrichment days are by reading this post.

These pictures are from the Science themed Enrichment program.

Being a high school biology teacher, I found this especially interesting, but I think it has little to do with my training and more to do with how cool it was!

The kids got to hypothesize and test how many drops of water fit on a penny, create new colors using primary colors on coffee filters, measure using different measuring instruments, use a microscope, learn about water tension, make paper rockets and many other cool activities.
