I love these guys! They are so much fun! They are my little angels (well sometimes not so much like angels ;o) and they are the BEST gift in life I have ever received!
My daughter was born with these gorgeous piercing blue eyes that light up the room when she walks in! She is so full of spirit and has quite a quest for life!
My son who once needed speach therapy…is now a professional talker! He never stops! Although I am not your standard “Say Cheese” kind of photogorapher…He wanted to say it! What a ham!
Off to shoot today!
Happy Saturday!

Every once in a while I get into posting on my blog and I try to add in some fun stuff about myself, just so you know who stands behind the big bulky piece of black equipment I push in front of your faces!
So here are a few things you may not have known about me…
1. I once got to be part of the flag ceremony at Arlington Cementary in Washington DC. pretty nifty!
2. I can recite the fifty states alphabetically in order really fast! (thanks to the song I learned in 7th grade for our singing recital)
3. I almost always go through the EZ Pass Lane with cash in my hand while driving to the city. OOOOPS!
4. My favorite past time is driving and listening to music, especially when the sun is just going down.
5. I love airports. Something about them excite me. I love the way I feel when I am in them.
6. I once went to an interview soon after college and was told by the very nice interviewer that I would NEVER get a job shooting right off the bat. The next week I started shooting for The Danbury News-Times as a photo-journalist.
7. I once had a soccer coach pay for me to attend a tournament that I would have had to skip out on because my parents didn’t have the money for me to go. I felt honored.
8. I once burnt my lips on a pot that was boiling water on the stove because I saw my reflection in it and I kissed it! That hurt.
9. I am huge NYC fan…although I would never really want to live there.
10. I almost went to school for massage therapy.
11. I shot my first wedding almost 8 years ago. It was a second marriage and I was sooooo nervous I almost got sick to my stomach. You eventually get over that!!!
12. I once found an albino tree frog in a plant that I bought from Stop and Shop. It lived in my room for quite some time before we met! He never bothered me much! I let him free after we crossed paths!
I am off to NYC for an Eshoot tomorrow and then a Bar Mitzvah tomorrow night!
Enjoy your weekend!

My apologies for delays in getting back to clients the past couple days. I have been sick with a serious stomach virus that left me pretty much layed up in bed for the past two days. Feeling much better now, thank the heavens, since I have a big shooting weekend ahead.
So a while back I shot Amy and Jeff’s wedding at St. Margarite’s and the Candlewood Inn in Brookfield. I love Amy’s family! Her brother and I go way back to our thumb sucking days, and I have seen Amy’s parents at three weddings in the past year! This time it was their celebration!
So here are a bunch of the one’s I liked the best!
Her dress was gorgeous and there was lots of it!!!
Amy, she is so pretty…
The most adorable little ring bearer I have ever seen. He was so full of life!
The rings, in which I have to say, were forgotten, until I asked for them before the ceremony so I could shoot them! I had about two seconds to shoot them outside as they arrived. quickly I captured…but I like!
Jeff, looking handsome waiting for Amy to walk down the aisle.
first dance together!
I forgot to add this in the first time I posted this wedding. How could I ? The ring bearer taking a breather before the party went on! A well deserved nap! ;o)
So congrats to Amy and Jeff and the Basso family!
So happy to be able to capture your family and help you remember the day!

Okay…this year I have incorporated second shooters into some of my collections and it is offered as an a la carte for the collections that don’t include it. Great! Love it! However, for next year, I have decided that it is going to be a standard in my collections. I have had the oppurtunity to shoot with one at some of my weddings…and now that I have, I am finding it hard to go back to shooting a wedding solo. I LOVE the flexibility that it allows me and I LOVE being able to get all those in between shots and moments that wouldn’t be caught on film because I would be running around shooting like a chicken with their head cut off. So anyone who is interested in becoming a second shooter for my ‘09 wedding season please inquire within and we can set up something to meet and chat about it (sorta like an interview but more relaxed!)
I am super excited to be offering this next year and I feel I have finally gotten to the point where I am comfortable with letting go of having complete control of every single shot taken at the wedding. I think those 20 or so extra shots that could be captured by simply having a second shooter would allow any photographers business to boom. It is those 20 images that could make all the difference to the bride and groom and me as well. I LOVE what I do, and a requirement of my second shooter would mainly to be having that same passion (or obsession) with capturing images as well.
So hopefully this gets the word out…as I am one who likes to be prepared for the future and would love to start meeting with anyone interested NOW…
Happy Wednesday!

I am trying to catch up on my blogging! I slacked for a bit. So back in April I shot Matt and Amy’s wedding! I had a blast shooting their wedding in Newtown CT and up at the Waterview in Monroe!
So here are a handful of my favorites…
There is something about window lighting that just can’t be beat. It is beautiful and directional and if I could I would bottle it up and keep it in my pocket for when I want to use it! Yummmmm.
Amy is a cutie!
Congrats to Amy and Matt and their family! I hope you enjoy!
Happy Tuesday!

Happy Memorial Day to everyone! Hope you made out in this beautiful weather! Couldn’t ask for a nicer weekend!
Tonight I will be heading up to Hartford for the Bellies and Babies tour workshop! I am looking forward to it. I remember there being a time when I graduated college and said I will never go back to school again…haha! Although workshops aren’t technically school…they are a place where I learn more about my craft and better my business! So I always come back all pumped up and ready to go. It is a quick way to recharge some batteries!
So off I go and enjoy your Holiday!
Happy Monday!

I would like to think of myself as a FUN mom! I bought this round art deco chair in a consignment shop, in hopes that my kids would have fun with twirling in it. I LOVE this chair for the fact that it looks cool, but it’s funtionality is by far what sold me on it!
Happy Thursday!
