Karissa Van Tassel Photography
International portrait photographer specializing in capturing beautiful, meaningful photographs you and your family will always treasure always. Connecticut.
New York. Paris. I am a photographer because I believe passionately in the power of a photograph to enable us to see things we often overlook –a moment, a special place–even our own reflections. The incredible part of a photograph is that once you've seen it, you get to hold onto it forever
As a photographer, I was completely intrigued by the new AI Headshots and had to try it out. Here's what I found- the pros, the cons, and the conclusions about trying it yourself!

It's Sunday- which means it is time to go back through your photos from the last week & delete the images you don't need! What were your favorite images from the last week? How many will you actually print? Inquiring minds want to know!
I've been studying photography for 20 years. I have some of the best cameras & lenses, incredible studio lights and a beautiful studio... yet even I can't do this for myself. These photographs, taken by the always-lovely Iryna Snovsnovska in New York, are moments with my daughter that I could not create on my own. This is why photographers do what we do. Our clients take pix on their cell phones everyday to capture the in-between moments. Call us when it's time for something truly special. Thank you, Iryna!
This ad is making me crazy. No, more isn't better. In fact, it's actually worse!
Please let them go, Apple! | Karissa Van Tassel Photography If you’ve been watching television recently (hello, March Madness!), you’ve likely seen Apple’s new ad for their iPhone.

Have you seen Apple's new ad for the iPhone 15? It sends the completely wrong message. Here are my thoughts:

"Cheers to us because we made it on our own!" Happy International Women's Day! It's time to celebrate women's stories- all of our stories. Your story.
A simple white button down can be everything from completely professional to girl-next-door to absolutely sexy. It’s all in how you style it. How do you want to be styled for your photoshoot?
An important reminder to love yourself! 🩷
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here’s to sharing the love every single day. 🩷
Let's do this! I always tell clients to bring their "go to" outfit- the one they would wear for a presentation at work- because wearing it makes you feel confident. And that confidence ABSOLUTELY shows through in your new headshots!
Heading outside today for office headshots! What's your favorite park in New Haven? Maybe you'll see us there!
Your headshots should be professional, but also engaging! The day of the boring DMV-style photo is over. It's time to add a little personality to your shots- through your wardrobe, accessories, poses and more. Wondering how? Give us a call!
If this fall you find yourself heading out on your own professionally, it's time for personal branding photos! While headshots generally focus just on your face, branding photos include more "lifestyle" images that you can use throughout your website, social media, and more. Reach out and we'll tell you more!
I love the fall because it's one of the only times I work both outdoors and in! New England's fall colors are a perfect backdrop, but the experience in the studio is also incredible! Interested in seeing what makes our photoshoots so special? We're happy to explain!
I don't just want you to see my photographs; I want you to feel them. Feel the joy, the laughter, the contentment, the sense of accomplishment in the photos I post. All of these women have incredible stories. I can't wait to share more of them!Interested in learning more about our sessions? I'd love to connect with you and tell you more!
A great article about how older women are portrayed. It makes me wonder, though, what if- instead of not trying to defy our age or even just accepting it- what if we CELEBRATED it?! After all, those sunspots, crow’s feet &, yes, even stretch marks- are signs that we’re living full lives! Why on Earth wouldn’t we celebrate that??!
Helen Mirren's dazzling, defiant picture is the perfect blueprint for growing old'
The only thing more beautiful than the flowers is her smile! An incredible session with a great team and the magnolia trees in full bloom!

I loved looking through this! Those who answered were generally split between photos of world events & photos of lovers ones. My challenge to you today: find a family photo you love and have it printed so you can see it everyday!
Strong. Independent. Vibrant. What does your headshot say about you? What do you want it to say?
Your headshot shouldn't just show someone what you look like, it also needs to tell them a little about who you are- that's communicated through everything from your wardrobe to your pose and even the light itself. Let us know if we can help.
When did you last have your headshot taken? Is it something you're proud to share? You have a split second to catch someone's attention online. Isn't it time you had a headshot you were proud to share? We're ready when you are.
I absolutely love this story! Family photographs are some of our most treasured possessions, which all-too-often get forgotten until they are in disrepair. Kudos to this Amity teacher (and her students!) for recognizing the situation and taking the time to bring these moments back!! Bravo!

I love this story so much primarily because she recognized the everyday moments for the treasure they were and took the time to capture them. I encourage my clients to take one day every fall to "catalog" their lives. Where do you live? What car do you drive? What does the pile of shoes by the door look like? The shot list is full of everyday things you don't generally care about... until they're gone.

A Photographer’s Parents Wave Farewell Deanna Dikeman’s portrait series doubles as a family album, compressing nearly three decades of her parents’ adieux into a deft and affecting chronology.
Own your creativity, your energy, and your voice! Our portrait of Julie Flanders hangs in The Kennedy Center this week as her choral piece, Holding Our Breath will be performed there tonight by the acclaimed Exigence in combination with the Sphinx Symphony! Congrats, Julie!!
Yes, you can be both powerful & feminine. Exhibit A.
This is why I insist on printing. I want you to see your beautiful memories every day… and I want those memories to last!!
They say eyes are the window to the soul. I couldn't agree more...
Do you have a secret (or a not-so-secret) tattoo? Even if you don't show it off every day, a photoshoot is a great way to capture it. We'd love to commemorate it in a photo-- just let us know!
As you step into 2023, what changes are you ready to make? Are you ready to show up? To be seen? To value yourself? If so, it's time to schedule your photoshoot. We'll take care of your hair, wardrobe, styling & lighting. You'll feel fabulous and you only have to be yourself and have fun. We're ready. Are you??
After spending the last year building my dream studio, I can't wait to show you what we can create there! From new, stunning backdrops to gorgeous lights and even a new swing we are hitting the ground running in 2023! The sky's the limit! What are you dreaming of?
