On Wednesday I headed up to Connecticut to shoot little Taylor. She's just few weeks old here, and absolutely adorable. Since she was so well behaved we were able to spend tons of time trying out different shooting scenarios. These are a few that I find extra special....
Emily at 7 months
On July 1st, I met DeAnne and Scott at the Rockefeller State Preserve just past Sleepy Hollow (Tarrytown), NY. I'd been there in the fall for a family photo shoot and loved the backdrop it provided for pictures. There is a pretty lake and a large open meadow, along with fun little wooded paths to work with. Although I did get a speeding ticket on my way to meet them (my first ever)...the trip was totally worth it. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day....
Central Park Engagement Shoot
This weekend we did a photo shoot in Central Park. Yes, it was very hot, humid and sticky. But you'd never know it from the look of our "models". We can't wait to see what their big day will bring in October.
G Fox Wedding
Greetings.br /So we shot a wedding last night in Hartford, CT for our friends Sara and Tim. It was at the G. Fox building in Hartford (great place--art deco, old Hollywood glam style). I'd been there before and after seeing the upstairs bar area, had decided I wanted to take advantage of the red velvet couches and luxurious surroundings. But this time I was prepared with a little additional strobe. I've been wanting to do a Marilyn Monroe-esque type o' picture of a bride sitting on a fun couch (they had lots of them) with the shoes peeping out underneath a big puffy dress. Well, wouldn't ya know it, we made it happen! Hope you love it as much as I do, Sara. Check back to my website next week and I should have a slideshow of the affair up.
Wake Robin Inn Wedding
We shot a wedding in Lakeville, Connecticut last weekend. It's a peaceful little town surrounded by farms, fields, rivers and lakes. Our couple, Dava and Damian who are from New York were so inspired by a Maine wedding they had attended in the past, that they decided to throw a "destination" wedding...sort of like a weekend getaway where they could celebrate with their closest friends and family. The event took place at the Wake Robin Inn, a majestic site for an outdoor wedding. Everything was spectacular, including the vegetable ravioli!
Housatonic River Folk
This weekend we celebrated Father's Day and did a photo shoot for my brother-in-law's family. Here are a few pictures of them having fun in front of the camera.
The Cabin
Here are some pictures from our weekend in New York State....there was a fun 70's hat and flowery field. I was all over it. So were the girls.
Jackson Hole Wedding
A special "thank you" to Anne and Joe for flying us out to Jackson, WY fort their wedding. Currently living in Boston, the couple chose a destination wedding that was close to Anne's hometown of Idaho Falls. The ceremony took place in a small chapel in downtown Jackson with the reception at the Four Seasons Hotel, just at the base of the mountain. The rain held up until it was time to head over to the reception site, (which was picture time too)...but Anne and Joe decided, rain or shine we were taking outdoor pictures to capture the beauty all around us. I think our positive vibes payed off because just as we got to the "picture destination" it stopped raining! It was a quite, calming experience...just Anne and Joe, us, and Anne's parents. I don't think it could have been more perfect.
Spring Portrait Day
Spring Portrait Day proved to be a total success thanks to a beautiful day. I am still sore from shooting 10 families in 10 hours--straight! I want to give a big "thank you" to everyone who showed up and made the day so special. Here are a collection of my favorite images from the day.
The Sunset Shoot at Edgerton Park
The final time slot for portrait day had spectacular light and the girls did a perfect job working it for the camera!
Holy Rollers
Today we tried out something a little different-as far as a communion photoshoot goes. We headed out to a local park in Hoboken and got some really beautiful shots with the blooming flowers and trees. On the way home, we spotted this brick wall and I had to use it. I think it looks like Ashely is in a foreign country in these shots. Fantastic!
Silas’s at 1
Great to see you guys, here are a few of my favorite shots from the day. Hope you have a great mother's day!
Kenny and Shannon's Wedding
Today we had the pleasure to attend a wedding as opposed to shoot a wedding. It was for one of my best friends from high school-Kenny and his new wife Shannon. We had a great time being guests and enjoying the celebration. Congratulations!
Turks and Caicos Weddin'
We just got back from shooting our first wedding of this season, and it was in Turks and Caicos. How lucky are we? Brett and Melissa did an amazing job planning this breathtaking--and fun--wedding. Here are some shots from the affair....
