Rebecca & Todd Engagement

I met with Todd & Rebecca on a cool morning last weekend.  They really wanted their engagement photos done outside, despite the wintry weather.  I was up for it when they said they wanted to meet in Bushnell Park – a favorite place of mine.  And although the session was short & sweet (since we were all freezing) they didn’t have a problem snuggling up and keeping warm!  Todd’s twins came along for some photos and some hot cocoa afterwords!  I’m looking forward to their wedding in Sept.  Not only because they are such a wonderful couple, but I know it will definitely be warmer too :)

Also, you’ll notice a little change here on the blog.  This is one of the new features that I’ll be using to display pics.  All you do is click on one pic, it will enlarge the image and you can click through each one to view them.  Let me know what you think!

Erin Corbo - You two look incredibly beautiful and happy! Cannot wait for the wedding.

“My Heart is Happy”

Most 6 year olds are concerned about what they got for Christmas or if they will have gym tomorrow at school.

Most 6 year olds are trying to keep their little brother out of their room and really love riding their bike.

And, like most other 6 year olds, this one does all of those things. But she also does a bit more…

She’s compassionate.  She’s fair.  She has a great ability to see the good in people.  She’s mature beyond her years in some ways, and in other ways, she’s just a regular six year old.

But to me, she’s amazing.  And I’m so proud and awed by the things that make her who she is.

She started asking back in July around her 6th birthday.  She really wanted to donate her money to the Children’s Hospital in CT.  “To help the kids” she said. We told her we thought it was a great idea and she could save some money and make a donation. She saved all her tooth fairy money and filled her piggy bank with any change she could find.  Last week we all went to the hospital and brought her donation with us.  It didn’t matter how much money she brought with her in the envelope.

The thing that really mattered was what she said on the way home in the car…  “my heart is happy”.

Kellie - That was beautiful. And so is she!
I wish we lived closer so that the kids could play together.
Anthony asks about her every now and then…

First Session of the New Year

I got to spend the afternoon with a great couple and their new little one this past weekend. I met them a few months ago at their pregnancy session and I was so excited when I was asked back to take pics of Cameron. He is cute as a button! I found out a few things while I was there – Cameron doesn’t like baskets, he LOVES being held and his parents are naturals! They weren’t phased by his crying and knew exactly what he needed and how to sooth him.
And that would be why he’s soo calm here:

I did bring a light with me but the natural light was great!

There’s another cutie in the family too…

Happy 2010

It’s finally here.  2010 has arrived!  I couldn’t be more excited. Don’t get me wrong, 2009 was a great year.  I met amazing kids, families and couples.  I traveled to beautiful beaches and warm, cozy homes.  It was truly an honor to meet each and every one of you for the first time – and it was fantastic to see some of you back again for more sessions!  I really have the best clients!  Check back here for new specials for 2010 and of course sneak peaks from each session.  The website should be getting it’s face lift pretty soon too.  Please, drop a comment or a hello when you stop by!  I hope to offer new things this year that will serve you better and keep Jennifer Landon Photography your photographer for all life’s moments!

Now the moment you’ve been waiting for…..the winner of the comment contest of 2009 is:

Congrats!!  You’ve won a free session in 2010!

Last session of the year

What a fantastic way to end this year’s sessions!  This great couple became new parents right at the end of 2009 and I can’t think of a better way to start out the New Year!  I think these should be Lucas’s New Year’s resolutions:

1. Eat

2. Sleep

3.  Have great hair

4. Find a way to wrap your parents around your finger

5. Always look cute

(Something tells me this will be easy!)
