Nature
When I asked around for location suggestions for Ashley and Christopher’s engagement photos, I had my doubts about a park called Lover’s Leap - kind of grim! But the park was absolutely beautiful and turned out to be the perfect spot.
It was a beautiful early-summer day, and the view was amazing.
I really liked their matching white outfits - a great contrast to the lush green woods.
What a great couple!
When I joined my friends Shannon and Andy for their daughter Ailish’s first birthday, she somewhat defied their plans by having little interest in smashing her cake.
When I met up with Shannon for Ailish’s second birthday on a beautiful summer’s day, she defied them again by… really having no interest in summer, fields, nature, or the guy with the camera.
But she did give us a few good smiles here and there, and then got to go have fun with her grandma, which I’m sure she was much more excited about. Plus, she gave me maybe my favorite photo I’ve ever taken, which should definitely be the album art for her first hit single some day:
Sometimes you just gotta roar.
I was so excited to hear that Sophy and Jeff were expecting again, and even more excited to hear they were expecting twins!
We lucked into a beautiful spring day - but were unlucky in that Jeff was getting hit with a nasty bout of food poisoning. Not that he let it show!
We let Jeff go rest while Sophy carried on with some help from their beautiful daughter Ophelia, who was all smiles!
A few photos by the stream (which Ophelia REALLY wanted to swim in) finished up our session.
I was excited to work with Anastasia and Pearse before I ever met them. They're fellow UConn alumni, and live just across town from me.
We met just before sunset at Horsebarn Hill, a landmark well known to anyone's who's spent time at UConn. They brought along their nine-month old Scottie "Buckley", named for the UConn dorm where they met.
I can't wait to shoot their wedding next August. If they make this beautiful a couple on a random Sunday, I can't wait to see them on their wedding day!
