Family Portrait in Wickham Park – Manchester, CT

In Children, local artist, Photography, Portrait on October 2, 2013 at 3:53 PM

I realize that each time I share a few photos from my portrait sessions I use similar descriptives.  “I had so much fun; it was an honor; this family is beautiful; can’t wait to share a sneak peek…” Thankfully – it’s always true. I love what I do and the people I get to meet in the process. The Qureshi family was no different. They showed up to our chosen location of Wickham Park right on time and dressed wonderfully. In fact, in the back of my mind I was wishing I could hire Marcy to help all my clients get ready for their sessions. [Take note future clients – all of their colors compliment each other without being too “matchy” – and they convey the vibrancy of this family] Marcy is due with baby number two in a few weeks – so we got this session in just in time and I’m very happy to share it with you. ♥ [Please note – you can click on each image to view it larger/in a slide show format]

I got the chance to work with Beate recently doing some company head shots. Everyone was so welcoming in her work place and it was a pleasure getting the opportunity to make these images. We were striving for professional, welcoming and a little creative. Here’s a sneak peek. ♥

The Angel Oak

In Art, landscape, local artist, Photography on September 4, 2013 at 7:03 PM

One of my clients today was originally from CT and now lives in FL. We spoke for a few minutes about travel and where our favorite places have been. I’ve lived and traveled all over the country and can find something good to say about every stop along my journey. I will say the two Portland’s – OR and ME both caught my attention before I opened the studio here in CT – and I think I will live on the coast of Maine one day. Our chat got me reflecting on all the traveling I did while teaching myself photography – and specifically about the Angel Oak. It lives on Johns Island in South Carolina and is one of the largest and oldest living things on the east coast. One image that I made during my travels (see it here has been a popular seller for me. I searched through my archives and reworked another photo from that journey. The person was left in the image to give you a small idea of the size of this beautiful tree. What’s one of your favorite places?

I’ve been meaning to share that I’ve been accepted as a volunteer photographer with the Magic Hour Foundation.

It’s an opportunity for everyone to have some fun and create beautiful memories.
