Fluffy Flakes

I tried to capture some macro shots of snowflakes today, it was pretty tricky, they were melting pretty fast. It was such pretty puffy snow, I had to attempt to capture it. (Click on them if you want to see them larger.)
Tech info for those interested in that sort of stuff: F 32, 1/250th - shot with a Canon 180mm macro lens.

Sweet little sister

This adorable little peanut is the new little sister to a little man who was one of my first sessions several years ago. She was so patient with all of the different spots we tried in their new house. I am so jealous of all of the great wall space the new house has for pictures!

Got dimples?

Isn't he cute? I really wish I knew what he was chattering about, mom and dad are in trouble once that all turns into words! He is a talker. Its so much fun to me to see return clients, I love watching all the little people grow up, in that first year there is such a huge change.

Tis the season...FOR SWEETNESS!!

Ok, so big sister wasn't so sure about me, but Daddy saved the day and provided a bit of entertainment, and it WORKED! Great session guys, it was fun.




After the shots at home, we made a quick run to the beach for a bit of variety. I love this moody shot of big sis. I hope all that running resulted in a good nap mom!

Are they adorable or WHAT?

I can't believe these guys are so big now! The first time I photographed these guys the little one was just 9 months old. Now he's big enough to pull his big sister in the wagon! We had fun running in the fields at a great location near their home- I am so glad we tried that location. I might just need to go back for my own holiday cards. Great rolling hills, beautiful trees and grasses, stone walls- wow. Perfect.

Let the games (or practices) begin!

Last night we celebrated the beginning of college basketball season. UCONN held their "First Night" celebration. My kids were thrilled to get Renee Montgomerys autograph on their UCONN hats. It was great to see everyone back and healthy. It was fun to see Shea back, now in her new coaching position. I am looking forward to another great season.


This shot is from the dunk contest- the whole series is here.

Such a sweet little guy

For this one year old session we did some photos in their backyard, and then headed out to the park. My little friend here really wanted to share his rock collection from the yard with me- there are several shots where you can see he is trying to give me something- such a sweet little guy! My personal favorite is the shot of him on the path in the woods. I played around with some textures on this image, though I don't believe it shows as well here as it would in printed form.

Another new little person!

I was so lucky to get to photograph this sweet new little person. He was 10 days old in these photos, and though I am showing mostly sleepy looking photos, he was wide awake for most of our time. Thanks to mom and dad for getting me in to do the session while he was still so little, they change so quickly in the early weeks. By the time I get prints to these guys he will look completely different! Congratul
ations to mom and dad and big brother on the new addition.

What a great day for a wedding!

This incredible bride and groom got lucky with great weather for their wedding. I am so happy it turned out to be such a beautiful day. They celebrated their wedding on the Milford, CT Green, with Mayor Richitelli officiating.

Then they simply walked over to Rainbow Gardens for their reception! Here are a few of our favorite images. (I had Stephen Willett working with me again on this wedding.)




The ring bearer, Grady (the golden retreiver)
had her own little reception at Perfectly Spoiled Pets,
right next door to Rainbow Gardens.


Adding another image from this wedding- I love this treatment on the particular image.

What a doll!

This little man was so much fun. He was such a happy guy, until we tried to stop him from playing in the street. We did part of our session at the Audubon Society in Milford, CT, and then a few quick shots at his moms friend's house. I am so glad we did, they had a great yard, with some great stone steps that really photographed well.

Beach kids

I had a bit of fun in the sun with this cute little brother and sister. I wanted to get this one favorite shot from the session up for mom. I have been pretty busy lately, and haven't completely finished proofing her session yet. So, here it is, with a bit of texture and colorizing effects just for fun. More to come ~soon!

Recent weather

Thursday night around 6:30 it got pretty dark around here. On our way home from the cancelled Milford RoadRunners track meet we made a quick stop to grab this shot of the impending storm. There was talk of possible tornadoes- and this certainly looked like it had potential. I am told by clients on the other side of town (the side under that nasty cloud) that it was pretty crazy with hail and wind for a few minutes that night.
