Little baby Ryan is a doll! So itty bitty and I loved every second of holding him. I am so bad. I don’t think there is one newborn shoot that I photograph and don’t sneak a kiss here and there. Ryan was just too irresistible!

Here are some shots from his session!

wide eyed and wondering…who the heck is this crazy lady and what is that huge black thing pointed in my direction! LOVE!

New Haven Lawn Club: Connecticut Winter Weddings: New Haven Wedding Photographer: Emily & Jeremy!

Meg — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:31:47 +0000

Well, It’s about time I posted something up on the ol’e blog! Geeez! Well, I AM still alive, just have been pounding away on album designs, studio samples, consultations, gearing up for Boston Inspire (Whoo Hoo) and doing some back end work in the studio…like marketing, and oh yeah… a little vacay to New Orleans! My first time going…LOVED it! The food there is ridiculously good and the cemeteries and the history of the city, especially the French Quarter fascinate me! I will definitely be returning to do some shooting there!

So here is the scoop for Emily and Jeremy’s lovely wedding! There wedding was in December (I know…that was like…last year) and I was challenged with lighting, seeing that their wedding was mostly an evening affair, and we all know the evening doesn’t account for much light in the winter months! So I had to adjust to the situation and rely heavily on my off camera lighting, as well as my assistant Kelley…who eventually you will meet up on the blog! She’s “FANTASTIC”!!! I sincerely love her and we’ve become best friends (all together now…Awwwweeeee). Anyhoo…she is always on point and there when I need her…and this day was no exception…

The wedding was at The New Haven Lawn Club in (drum roll please…) New Haven, CT. It was actually a really historical venue and it has a lot of the original lighting fixtures, which was really retro-y. I loved it! Not to mention they decorate beautifully for the holiday season. So if you’re a bride looking to have your wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club in December…DO IT!!! It’ s so romantic and cozy! Of course Emily and Jeremy’s sparks helped with that too!!!

Venue: The New Haven Lawn Club

Flowers: Fleur de Lys

Hair and Makeup: Salon Ivanova

Dress: RK Bridal / La Sposa

Cake: Pastry Fusions

Entertainment: Power Station & Pianist Tom Ciancia

Connecticut Portrait Photographer: Expectant Mother’s Guide to Connecticut: Featured on Front Cover!

Meg — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 14:59:37 +0000

I had the most wonderful opportunity recently to have one of my maternity session’s images chosen for the Expectant Mother’s Guide to Connecticut magazine’s front cover! I was so excited when Megan Trezza, the magazine’s Publication Manager, contacted me a while back with interest in using one of my photographs from Jen’s maternity session for their winter edition cover! I couldn’t wait to share the news with you all but I had to wait until they were ready to run the volume!

I LOVE the final result! A special thanks to Megan Trezza for the opportunity to share my images with expectant mother’s in Connecticut and to Jen for her patience and willingness to venture into frigid temperatures and tromp around inches of snow while pregnant so I could get this shot!!! It was well worth the effort!

So if you happen to live in CT and are pregnant, then chances are you will be having one of these magazines find its way into your hands! Lots of great information inside for moms-to-be!

Enjoy and Happy New Year and a Happy Tuesday to you all!
