Fourteen years. A second floor hallway that became a gallery.

Every time they walk past, the moments come back.

"Ben has photographed our family many times in the past 14 years. The photos hang in a literal gallery on the second floor of our home and each time we walk down the hallway we relive the moments of joy and grace Ben has captured from various moments of our family's history."

~ E.T., New Canaan, CT

Every Ben Larrabee Experience begins with a conversation and ends with art on your walls.

It starts with a complimentary consultation where we learn about your family, share how we work, and walk you through our fees. From there, Ben comes to you. The session is relaxed and spontaneous, in the comfort of your own home.

Afterward, Ben curates the best images and guides you through choosing your favorites. We handle everything from printing and framing to advising where to display the work.

This is the experience working with us. Ready to get started? Contact us here: https://www.benlarrabee.com/contact-us/

Earlier this year, Germany's fotoMAGAZIN dedicated a 6-page review to Ben's book "Trudie: A Portrait."

At first glance, it may seem like a book about n**e photography. In reality, it is something far more personal: the tender, still-enamored gaze of a man upon his wife. The review draws a direct line from Ben's mentor Harry Callahan, who famously photographed his own wife Eleanor for nearly two decades, to Ben's 20 years with Trudie.

"The photobook is a declaration of love for his wife and their life together. A hymn to the erotic sparks that can still fly in a relationship over a long period of time."

There's a new reason to visit the third floor at the Darien Sport Shop.

Ben Larrabee's Moments of Grace, a collection of 13 fine art family photographs, is now on display at 1127 Post Rd, Darien, CT. Each image reflects Ben's approach to family portraiture: recognizing and recording those fleeting yet memorable glimpses of life that we take for granted.

"Ben's work adds something unexpected to the third floor — it stops people, makes them look, and reflects the kind of community we're part of." ~ Doug Reilly, General Manager, Darien Sport Shop

The prints you see on the wall are produced by Still River Editions in Danbury, CT, our trusted printer for over 20 years. A Hahnemühle Platinum Certified Studio and Canson Certified Print Lab, they bring the same commitment to quality to every piece we make.

The exhibition is viewable Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5:30pm. If seeing Ben's work makes you think about your own family portraits, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us here: https://www.benlarrabee.com/contact-us/

Next week we return to Ausable Lake, where Ben made this photograph years ago. It brings back the rhythm of our family canoe trips: loading the canoes, portaging over the trails, setting up camp as the light went soft on the water. Some places pull you back. This is one of ours.

As seen in a recent coastal home in Connecticut.

The Trudie book, right at home among the art books on the coffee table. Underneath it sits the family album we created for them in 2018.

Two bodies of work. Two different stories. Both made to be lived with.
