It isn’t often that I break out my camera to take any personal type of photographs, and although I enjoy my work and have fun shooting my clients, I don’t take my camera out just for “fun” either. My boyfriend, Matt, and I enjoy hiking and frequent Pound Ridge in New York. It is a beautiful natural reservation, and him being the wildlife biologist that he is, it is usually an educational hike for me as well. You name it…if he hears it hooting, howling, or chirping in that park, he knows what it is.It is amazing to me to know that all of this surrounded me since I was young, and I didn’t take much notice to the faintest sound. Now being with Matt, who points that out to me from time to time, has opened my eyes to a whole new way of perceiving nature. Especially snakes…don’t ask, but they have gained a bit of my respect for their place in nature.
I had my camera in my car with me, so I took advantage of some of the sights…just for fun!
Enjoy!
Matt hates it when I point the camera in his direction. I love to do just that, just to annoy him! Mwahahahahaha!
There were little kids playing around while their parents sat nearby…so I snapped a couple.
Happy Thursday!

Happy Spring everyone! I know technically spring started in late March but I don’t think I am alone in thinking that we were teased with warm weather and then last week it was taken away from us like taking candy from a misbehaved child. I have to say, I responded much like the child who had their candy taken away. I moaned and groaned and complained about how chilly it is. Really, April has always been like that but I think the fact that we got a taste of warm weather in March made me wanting more.
I am SO happy the warm weather is upon us again and that Easter is almost here because I know for a fact the Easter Bunny is coming to our house! WooHoo! Yesterday while I was working Matt had the kids outside in the sun and my son decided to pick me some flowers and brought them up to my editing room and one by one placed them on my computer desk and said “I picked you some flowers Mom!”. My heart melted on the spot and I stopped what I was doing, scooped him up and plopped him on my lap and I think I kissed him about 20 times. What a sweetie pie! I think honestly that was the first time he picked me flowers all on his own! I think if he continues with those thoughtful gestures he will make a lady happy one day!
Happy Easter and Happy Spring!
Happy Saturday…off to the Bronx to photograph Rachel and Paul’s Eshoot! Can’t wait to share the pics!

A while back I photographed Amanda and Dan’s wedding in Farmington, Connecticut at the First Church of Christ and Sarah Porter Memorial. A small and intimate affair filled with close friends and family! Here are some of my favs of the day!
The ring shot on one of the table details…
Dan…the groom.
A casual and fun portrait…which is how I prefer to keep the formals…fun and relaxed!
some details…
The flowers were by A Victorian Garden in Wethersfield, CT. They were very vibrant…loved them!
Amanda, the bride, checking out her reception area before the ceremony.
love these two shots of Amanda walking the aisle with her father.My favorite from the entire day.
We shot some more relaxed portraits in some great afternoon light right after the ceremony…
and lastly, the happy couple’s entrance into their reception!
Congratulations Amanda and Dan!
Happy Weekend!

Rain rain go away! Well, I did have a really cool head shot session today that I had to reschedule due to weather! Boo to that! So instead I just finished gearing up for a wedding today and tomorrow and I decided to post a couple different pics that I have been hording for the last few weeks/months. It is not often I post about personal stuff…but I do love my kids so I need to share their cuteness with you all! ;o)
This was taken one day before school started for the kiddies! It was a rainy day, just like today! ;o), which made for an interesting get-up on my son! I am a laid back mom who really doesn’t mind if my son wants to go to school dressed half for the ocean and half for school!
my son being silly in pictures as usual. He likes to “chimp” after to see what I got!
first time in curlers for my daughter so I HAD to grab some shots of that! I can’t believe she actually let me put them in. She likes nothing to do with “pretty”.
the after shot the next morning…Shirley Temple look a like!
And a little something to brighten your day…flowers from the garden. Something I don’t normally take pics of but I find it relaxing and a bit of change of pace! ;o)
I hope you all have a Happy Friday!
