A busy Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc, etc…

Saturday, January 31, 2009 Posted in Family Photography, Newborn / Baby Photography

This was a BUSY week! Busy is good, so I can’t complain. Earlier in the week, I had the pleasure of attending Joe McNally’s lighting workshop in Dobb’s Ferry NY. It was amazing! He is a wonderful mentor. You can check out his blog/work at www.joemcnally.com/blog.

On Wed. I was interviewed by News Channel 3 for a spot on Better Connecticut – more details to come on that!

Currently Shaun and I are working diligently on updating the website. We will be sending out an email regarding that (hopefully by the end of the weekend). There will be more news, specials, and info on the blog too. So keep checking back!

Here’s the latest session – sorry it took so long to post! This little guy was just adorable….he wasn’t always happy with what I wanted to do with him, but he still did great. Big sis loved to be little helper. He’s very lucky to have her!

First Pregnancy Session of '09

Wednesday, January 28, 2009 Posted in Maternity Photography

This couple was amazing! The soon-to-be mom looked fantastic. She’s due in about 5 more weeks and you’d never know it. The best part was they rearranged their house for me, including putting nails in the wall! (Don’t get nervous, I don’t usually ask people to go THAT far ) The available light was beautiful that day. We got lucky and the sun came out on a VERY cold, windy day. I picked a few spots in the house where we could take advantage of it. Thanks guys, it was nice meeting you both. Enjoy the pics!

This one is natural light

"green" cards

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Posted in Business News, Other Info

I thought I would update everyone on the new line of high quality cards I’m offering. They’re “green”, so I can’t say enough good things about them. I mean, who doesn’t want to be environmentally conscious AND have cards that look great! Here are the paper types:

110# Matte – This beautiful smooth paper is 100% recycled and is ideal for any type of cards.
80# Linen – A fine linen texture adds a feeling of quality to your cards. This paper contains recycled fibers and is created using wind-power.
80# Stipple – A finely textured specialty paper that contains recycled fibers. Great to showcase your images on.

Ask me more about these options before you place your card orders. And, as always, all envelopes come imprinted with your return address on the back flap!

Fun Engagement Session

Sunday, January 11, 2009 Posted in Engagement

This is one engagement shoot I never posted on the blog. I absolutely loved this session, I guess time just got away from me! The pics were taken at Hammonassett Beach and also Eli Cannon’s in Middletown. We went to the beach first (the beach is an important place to them) and then headed to Eli’s for some fun pics. I had a hard time going through these and picking a few out to post, I liked so many! They had a GREAT save-the-date made using the pics. The soon-to-be bride is very talented in many areas and one is photoshop. So, she took on the challenge of designing her own and sent one to me! I love the way they turned out. We are looking forward to a great time at the wedding in May!

My mom is a rebel…

Monday, January 5, 2009 Posted in Personal Photography

So, a little history here. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years and 3 months ago. Since then, she has had numerous surgeries and grueling treatments. Thankfully (I’m BEYOND thankful) she is cancer free! Last year in Nov. to celebrate the one year mark, she went and got her ear pierced. Actually the TOP of her ear pierced. You know, way up on the side/top of the ear? She always keeps a pink earring in that hole. She thought this was really daring – I thought it was so-so on the daring scale but really great to have a mini celebration. It’s a great way to mark the 1yr anniversary! Soo…this past Nov. she calls me up and says she wants to do something daring again for her 2 year mark.

A TATTOO! What? She must have lost it for sure! My mother has ALWAYS been the anti-tattoo mom. (I know this first hand since I have a couple of my own and she was never very fond of it.) But, you know, she’s a rebel now. Soo…I volunteer myself to come along and possibly get another one. Just for moral support, of course. An old friend of mine who works over at Transcend Tattoo in Branford designed and did the work. What an amazing job he did! I can’t say it enough! My mom envisioned a butterfly with the pink ribbon for the body. We both decided to have it done on our left foot (that’s the side her cancer was on). So, we now have matching tattoos. It’s not the tattoo that’s imprinted on my foot, it’s the memory imprinted in my heart. It perfectly marks the anniversary. I’m just a little nervous for what this year might bring……

She wanted to go first
