Could this be??? FX-format with the high ISO performance of the D3 and the size of the D300????

Happy Tuesday!

ps….Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A while back I shot Judy and Kevin’s engagement session at her parents house…which is also a farm!

It was rediciously hot that morning and I won’t ever forget how attentive her mother was, making sure we all had something to drink through out the shoot! Thanks! ;o)

Here are a couple of my favorites…

Kevin proposed to Judy while horseback riding…so it was fitting there be a horse around to shoot with!

I just liked this one for some reason…

Since inside was a lot cooler than it was outside we utilized some open space available in Judy’s parents house they are renovating…(which was gorgeous by the way!)

So happy Enagement and can’t wait to see you at the wedding!!!

Happy Sunday again!

Hello all! It’s Sunday morning and I am editing some weddings today! Yipppeeeee!

I was also doing a little blog surfing…which I have to say…I have been quite tame with that lately. I liked Eric’s email that suggested not checking out other photographers work on a daily basis. I did that for a while and then I got caught up in the ropes of life and I put that on the back burner and I feel much better going to a shoot and not having any images of other’s work in my head. But I do still like to check out my favorite photographer’s blogs every once in a while to see what they have been up to!

So this morning I checked out a blog that I frequent and they wrote a very nice entry on getting inspired. Check out Millie’s blog entry from June 27th…and read up on who inspires her… One of her favorites was one of my favorites as well…Sally Mann. I was introduced to her work by one of my professors at college and I have been intrigued by her work ever since. Controversial but still great work!

So check that entry out and enjoy!

Happy Sunday!

A few things! I shot a great wedding today! Can’t wait to share the pics with you all! Now I am editing away all weekend to get caught up on my stuff! Feels good to get a bit off my shoulders…

Also, PB and J update…

Peter has decided it would be a great idea to have a guest speaker at July’s PB and J…

So Tim Riley, From RPG Keys (for lightroom) will be stopping by to share his knowledge with us all…Trick is we need at least 15 bodies there…so if you have been yearning to stop by one of these shin-gigs…this would be the one to make an appearance at! He is coming all the way from Maine. That’s right…Maine! So you have to come…no if ands or buts! Get your photo-booties down here! Also making an appearance is Mike Simonds from Simonds Photo…he is a smart man, I met him at a seminar…and he can clue you in on all the latest gadgets and must haves for your behind the scenes stuff!

So leave me a comment and let me know if you are coming or not…we will need at least 15 people and I am actually hoping for a few more than that…little does Peter know!!! hehe!

Event: PB and J (for all you newcomers…stands for photography, beer, and junkfood!)

Where: Peter Oberc’s home…I will give details as to where as we get closer!

Susana and Peter are engaged!!! Yipeeeee! We went to Seaside Park in Bridgeport and we had some pretty light to work with! I love the beach! There is nothing like it! We got eaten alive by bugs…I fell on a rock and made myself look like an idiot and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! These two were so much fun to work with and I am really excited to be shooting their wedding coming up!

enjoy!

Congrats Susana and Peter!

ON another note…their will be some updates as to the PBandJ coming up so stay tuned to get all the details!

Happy Thursday!

Okay…it took me a while but I got the other half of the wedding blog worthy pics done for Britt and Shane’s part 2 post!

So here is her pretty dress…

the rings!

And of course…Beautiful Britt!

This is my friend Amy. We met a year and a half ago on Myspace and we just clicked! We finally met at Britt’s wedding and she was as cool as I thought she’d be! ;o) Love this girl!

Britt made a tier of 400 cream puffs in lieu of a cake and tore into it with a hammer! So fun!

So congrats to Britt and Shane and I can’t wait to share with them the rest!

~Happy Wednesday!

I know most of you thought I dropped off the face of the earth this past week…but sorry to inform you I am still here to bug you all! Mwaaahahahahaaaaaaa!

On a serious note…I have moved (still in Danbury) and there were of course some bumps in the road along the way, but I am back up and running and can be reached at my regular email address and phone number now! Thanks to everyone for being so patient!

On another note…I have been very busy with E-shoots and weddings to shoot so there will be a whole bunch of stuff to share with you all when I get caught up! Can’t wait!

July’s PB and J will be up at Peter Oberc’s house (and his wife Christine) in New Milford on July 23rd…it is a wednesday and he just asked that I be able to give him a round about number who will be attending…so if you could leave a comment wether or not you are coming or send me an email I would really appreciate it! It should be fun! He has an awesome space in which he runs his business and I am really excited to hang out there!

So have a happy Tuesday and keep your eyes peeled for some updated work I have in the works!

Last Saturday I shot Britt and Shane’s backyard wedding! Yipppeeee! I love these guys! They are so much fun! I met Britt and Shane a couple years ago at one of their little shin-digs they had at their apartment! Shane is a graphic designer and Britt is the executive french pastry chef of her business, Coquette Patisserie. They were so much to be with for the day! We did lots of fun pics and I am giving them another post soon after I edit through the rest of their pics! Here are a few that I wanted to share with you for now…

Britt is an adorable bride and she was so relaxed and go-with-the-flow! She was great to work with!

Red Kate Spade’s…LOVED them!

I never did an engagement session with the couple so I stole her Engagement ring for a shot on an antique metal calendar I found laying around…

Britt and Dad (aka Shorty) walking the aisle!

She made her boquet out of sugar…YUM!

This is Shane, a very cool guy!

I had to post this of this little munchkin, LOVED her! (and in the next post will be the other cutie patootie!)

Britt took me down to her cellar where we grabbed a couple shots…sort of a TTD on the Wedding day! Cool Brides rock!

So stay tuned for the Part II of their wedding! More to come!

Happy Thursday!

PB and J is tonight at Spasi in Danbury on Mill Plain Road. It starts at 6:30! You know the routine, Photogs hanging out and talking shop, beer, and junkfood. I am hitting up a well deserved Espresso Martini!!!

On another note…there are some changes coming up for Creative Image Collections…

One being we are changing locations…still in Danbury, just a new spot! All contact information email/phone remain the same!

Another change is I am hiring a new assistant! His name is Phillip and he is an aspiring phtographer, who happened to come into my life at just the right moment! So I am so happy to have him come along to weddings and Eshoots with me! He is really into photography and is eager to learn and is a hard worker! I am so relieved! There is also going to be some changes in the back end of the business as I am going to be hiring an editor to do my dirty work. This will make things flow a little faster and easier around the office. Much needed as I am really burning the candle at both ends to meet all clients needs right now! Creative Image Collections has grown quite alot since last year and it is come to that time to start making this more than a one man team! Very exciting and stressfull all in one! So if you are interested or know anyone who is interested in making some extra mula’ tell them to give me a ring! I am really wanting to hire someone who is familiar with Lightroom and working with RAW images! I am a pretty cool boss! (just a little perk to the job!)

So hopefully I see you tonight at Spasi to talk some shop!

Happy Wednesday!

I won’t be in the office to answer any emails this weekend~ I am off to shoot a back yard wedding and I am so excited about it since it’s my friend Britt and Shane’s wedding! Britt is a phenominal French Pastry Chef, has her own business, Coquette Patisserie, and she of course did her own tower of 400 cream puffs in leiu of a cake, and her boquet she made from scratch out of sugar! How cool is that! Can’t wait to share the pics with you all…

And tomorrow off to shoot an E-session in South Windsor on a Horse farm! Did I ever mention how much I love my job?!

So enjoy your weekend and I will respond to all emails on Monday!

On another note…I will be moving in the next week…so things are a little crazy and hectic around here and I am working extra hard at attending to all my clients needs…AKA…I am burning the candle at both ends and right now the candle is not really that big!!!

So Happy Saturday and see you all on Monday!
