My father-in-law sent this to me today!!! I thought it was kinda funny! Hehe! It is an alternative to your traditional first dance as a married couple!

A couple weeks back, Talia from Sixpence For Your Shoe asked me to be a vendor for an auction they are holding in West Haven to help raise money for scholarships for students at Amity Regional High School in Woodbridge. The scholarship is called the Jared Rosner Memorial Scholarship. Jared was in the 1997 graduating class at Amity High School and also graduated from Bucknell University in 2001. He died about 4 years ago in a tragic skiing accident. I never knew Jared but from what I hear he was a pretty great person and had many academic and athletic interests. I was so honored to be asked to donate a portrait session, which will be auctioned off at the fundraiser this weekend. I love being a part of something so positive. It is really the little things in life that are so important and I am happy to be able to add a little happiness in someone’s life. Giving, and not only this time of year, is the best thing in life that you can do. I am very excited to be able to attend the fundraiser and help give back to others for a such a great cause. I will post some info in the future in regards to the success of the fundraiser, which I am sure will be a wonderful success!
Lately I have been really wanting to experiment with some textures and incorporating them into an image…I know Jesh de Rox’s are really great but I am trying to be good and only buy for other people this Holiday Season. This is something I need to discipline myself with. So I have begun to experiment with some texturizing myself. I am going to try and build a texture library (sounds cool ;o) and here is my first attempt. Don’t laugh if you think it is lame. I am just a beginner in the texture department and realize with time, I will weed out what works and doesn’t work. It is all experimental. Great thing is it just takes a little thinkin’ and a bit of tweaking and then viola’! A warm and cozy image like this!
Let me know your thoughts…but please don’t be too harsh…I am sensitive! ;o)
This shoot happened way back in August, hence the light clothing! This was such a fun shoot to do. I met her through my husband! She helped me out with the kiddies in just enough time when things got hectic around here. I knew I wanted to shoot her the second I opened the front door to meet her! She was cute! (still is!) and had a personality beyond belief! (still does!) Here are a few of my favorites…
We shot up in New Milford. Our first stop was an abandoned building on the side of the road!
We scrounged up enough courage to go inside the building…it was dark (scary), dirty, and dangerous…I love trespassing!!!

Our shoot got rained on so we decided to head to a parking garage in Danbury. We got kicked out of the first one…trespassing again. We had better luck in the second garage… Oh yeah, we shot the garage shots with some great off camera lighting courtesy of my Ford Explorer!

Thanks so much “M”…we miss you and can’t wait to see you again!
