6 years old

Characteristics of a 6 year old:
You MUST change your earrings everyday to match your outfit, no matter what.
You CAN be sweet and sassy (Even at the same time)
You lost your first tooth (Oh how I love that jack-o-lantern style grin)
You know just how to aggravate your brother
People can’t spell words they don’t want you to know anymore – no sir. You can figure those out quick.
You dance in the livingroom, watching your reflection in the tv to make sure you’ve got the moves right
And last – your smile can light up a room – and mommy & daddy’s heart. (yeah, that definitely means you’re 6)

I need your help…

Shaun here…. I participated for the second year in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk in New Haven, CT. It is a GREAT event where people of all photographic skill levels and backgrounds can come together and have a nice time doing what they enjoy… Taking Pictures. I would like to do some of these on a smaller scale with some photog friends of mine and anyone else who is interested in taking some pics or learning more about photography. More on that to come…

As you may recall, Last year I posted some pics of my photowalk in Hartford, CT. This year I picked out a few images that one person or another mentioned that they liked and I am going to post them below. I would like you to leave a comment telling me which two you like the best. I will submit those two images to the New Haven photowalk site to have a chance to win some pretty cool prizes. So if you wouldn’t mind, I would love to hear your input!!

Thanks,
Shaun

Luis & Susan's Wedding

Sue & Luis have a fairytale kind of love. The kind of fairytale you’d like to read over and over because it has such a happy ending. They had a beautiful wedding day. There were many tears (of joy!) and a very fun bridal party. And I just have to say that Susan had the most GORGEOUS wedding dress I’ve ever seen. (And I won’t spill the beans on what she paid for it…..but it was the best deal I’ve ever heard of!) And she looked stunning in it.

This moment choked me up…on the way to the church Sue’s mom reached over and kissed her on the hand

They had a Playbill – it had headshots of all the key people in the wedding and a description of them as well. So cool.

You’ll never guess who caught the garter (they switched and Sue threw the garter and Luis threw the bouquet!) Needless to say they had to do it over….

Mike & Michelle's Wedding

Michelle & Mike HAVE to be two of the most fun-lov’in people I’ve ever met. And I’m not the only one who feels this way – that’s for sure! They were surrounded by all their family and friends – and it was hard not to breathe in the love that was felt towards them by all. Their day couldn’t have been more perfect. They started the afternoon with a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church in Farmington, then headed to Simsbury for a BEAUTIFUL tree ceremony, and then off to the Riverview for a PARTY!! (I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding where the dance floor was so FULL of people all night long!) I heard 3 of the most wonderful toasts. All of which made me tear up. (Very difficult to look through wet, teary eyes while taking pics!) Mike & Michelle were soo gracious and thoughtful towards us on THEIR wedding day. We are truly lucky to have been chosen to share their day with them. And (not naming any names) but I’m totally over the broken glass/spilled beer all over my pant leg. No worries, it’s all part of the fun :)

This necklace is a family heirloom from Ireland

I love this one! You can tell she’s so bored with the picture thing

It was adorable- Michelle’s dad was holding onto the back of her dress so it wouldn’t drag on the ground before they entered the church

Shaun caught Mike’s first glimpse of Michelle as she entered the church – I love the look on his face!

It was so sweet – at the end of the night Mike was rubbing Michelle’s tired feet.

Michelle told us when they went to the jewelers to get their wedding bands the jeweler told Mike he had “mitts” for hands – because his ring size was so big. Compared to hers, I’d say so.

A couple of Photography related things

Hi everyone.. Shaun here. I am writing a quick post to update some information related to upcoming events, specials and the rest of this year.

First and foremost, The PHOTO WALK is on Saturday! I don’t know if anyone is planning on joining Jennifer and I in New Haven, but if you do, then you will just be hanging out with me. Jennifer had something come up and she will not be able to attend the walk. If you did sign up and you want to meet up and compare shots, then leave me a comment and I will email you back.

On a very serious note… if you are planning on having a session with Jenn this year, the rush is on. Every year about this time the phone begins to ring a bit more and the emails start to pile up. In the last week, we have begun filling Jenn’s calendar for the remainder of 2009. As you may or may not know, Jenn shuts the business down starting December 1st though January 1st in order to spend the holidays with family. Last year in November we had to turn away customers who were looking for holiday pictures simply because we were all booked up. Don’t let this happen to you. There are still plenty of session openings left before December, but do not wait until November 1st to call!

Lastly, another promotion for you. Become a fan of Jennifer Langdon Photography on Facebook and get $10 off your session fee. Also, for every friend you have on your profile, we will give you an additional dollar (per friend, max of 40) off a 2009 session fee. So.. all in all, you could save up to $50 dollars off a session just by becoming a fan of Jennfer Langdon Photography on Facebook. This will be an excellent way to share your preview images with all of your friends and family!
