Liz and Frank got married at Tarrywile Park and Mansion last month. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor ceremony and it all unfolded perfectly!
We started off shooting at their home in Danbury…
Bunch of Blooms in New Fairfield did all the beautiful floral work!
I was loving the beading on her dress…
ORANGE…need I say more! They were screaming FUN!
Liz had her boys walk her down the aisle. They did a fantastic job and were absolutely adorable!
Woohoo–Mom and Frankie are married! ;o)
Kelly Lindquist of Sweet Rewards was the creator of this masterpiece…
I don’t often get to have a piece of cake but my assistant grabbed me a piece and I was LOVING it! Moist as anything and scrumdiddlyumptious! (yes that is a word…I looked it up online to get the spelling right).
Congrats to Liz and Frank!
Happy Monday and first day of summer!

I love photographing newborns! I just LOVE it! It is everything about them that I love. Their smell, their innocence, their little animal noises they make! It is really something I adore completely! Cayiah was no exception. As soon as I saw her all cuddled up cozy in her car carrier I melted! She is just so perfect! Peach fuzz hair and rosy skin!
Cayiah is number 4 in the line of sisters in her family. That’s right…4 girls! God Bless Carla and Jermiah! I am so honored to have been able to capture this beautiful peanut at just 10 days old!
Cayiah was born Memorial Day weekend!
Thanks so much Carla for bringing Cayiah in to have some fun! ;o) It was great catching up with you!
Happy Friday!

Just a quick personal post before I head out for the weekend to shoot Becky and Brendan’s wedding up in Glastonbury, CT. I have limited time to spend with my kids that doesn’t involve taxi-ing them around from school to home and back again. So Monday on Memorial Day I fully enjoyed being able to have fun with them! I watched them both march in the parade in downtown Danbury and Matt and I BBQ’d with them, roasted marshmallows over the fire-pit to make smores, planted tomatoes in the garden, and lit off a few fireworks! It was the best day we have had in a loooooooong time!
I know it is REALLY cheesy but I have to say that Nina’s future is SO bright…she has to wear two shades! ;o) (see…I told you it was cheesy!)
I am so happy they have each other as best pals through life! What memories they will share together!
After the parade they had some parachuters! It’s not the best pic…but I failed to bring my 70-200 so I did the best I could with what lenses I had! One of my pet peeves is never wanting to lug my gear around while not working and then seeing a shot and not having what I need in order to capture it! Note to self: bring all gear.
So I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day to the fullest with fine family and friends!
Enjoy the weekend and Happy Friday!

Jen and Mike chose to do their Engagement shoot in New York City. I never say no to an opportunity to photograph in New York. We were actually threatened with rain the morning of, but the skies cleared in time for our shoot and the wind was blowing like crazy. Like knock you over windy. There were quite a few times I had to up my shutter just so I could keep a sharp picture due to the fact that I wasn’t able to keep my stance and keep my lens steady.
We started off in Grand Central. I love shooting in Grand Central because it is such a grand place (which is probably how it got it’s name) with such history. However, I have to say, the lighting can be muddy and not the best for a photographer. While I was waiting for Jen and Mike to show up I sat for a few minutes and thought about how I was going to tackle this specific Grand Central Engagement! Then I saw the light…and I mean that literally. There was one patch (and really there was only this one patch) of light that seeped through from a window up above. It was a very small patch but just enough to put Jen and Mike in if they cuddled up close to each other. I figured that wouldn’t be an issue with them! It was a partly cloudy day so I had to be quick to shoot and then patient for the light to return. It was worth it. Thank you little patch of light!
We hailed a cab to the meat packing industry and shot along some of the streets there and made our way up to the Highline! On this windy day it was a challenge for sure! Woo boy was it windy!
We did notice this little painted sign on the side of the road while we were pulling up in the cab. The painters were there painting the wall so I guess we made it just in time!
Just in case you weren’t sure…Jen said YES!
Jen works from CONAIR and she does some hand modeling there when needed…so I utilized her talents! ;o) She does great work!
One of the things I love about shooting Engagements in NYC, besides getting to know my couples, is that you never know what you’re going to come away with from the day. Yellow never was in my mind when the possibilities were flowin’ prior to the shoot. I LOVE yellow and it worked with Jen’s cute Anthropologie dress. So we went with it!
There was a man sitting right behind me when I was up on this bench. I felt bad asking him to move so I worked around him in hopes that he’d move for me…but he didn’t! ;o)
Up on the highline…which was ferociously windy. That’s me over there to the right in case you were wondering! ;o)
Don’t worry…I took one without me in it so Jen and Mike don’t always have to be reminded of me! ;o)
So I had a lovely time getting to know you both Jen and Mike and I REALLY can’t wait for the big day!
ENJOY and Happy Tuesday!
