Maddy, Olivia, and Ben

Without a doubt happiness is spending time with great kids at the beach on a perfect day!   Ben is a living doll to his two older sisters, Maddy and Olivia, who just adore him.  It was my pleasure to photograph the bonds between these three siblings.  Check out those gorgeous blue eyes on Ben!  

Erica & Gary

I don't even know where to begin on how much fun I had with Erica & Gary on their wedding day.  These two are such a riot and soooo nice I didn't want to leave them.  In fact I snuck in a photo with them and sent cronie off in my place so they wouldn't be able to forget me.  Fat chance of that - they're lifers!  I had Anthony helping me out with this one, and once again, we had a blast.  Erica and Gary chose to do all of their "formal" shots prior to the ceremony.  Great choice this time of year with the shortening of daylight.  Since Gary is such a huge golfer, of course, the reception was held at Great River Golf Club.  What a perfect match.  Erica and Gary I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon and I can't wait to see you again.  If you would like to see more of their wedding day, click here.  Enjoy! 

Danielle & Bella

If anyone is looking to adopt a pet, I highly recommend the Bernese Mountain Dog.  Wow!  I met Bella this week end for a photo shoot with her mom Danielle.  Bella is one gorgeous and well trained dog and I do believe she has a great sense of humor too.  Danielle and I had a lot of laughs trying to get Bella to work it for the camera.  I just had to share with you a few photos from our session.

Jana & Brendan

As we pulled up to the house where Jana was getting ready, the sky opened up and the rain poured down.   Anthony and I looked at each other and made a dash for it, running into the house where we found Jana, smiling away, calm, cool and collected sipping her mimosa and enjoying the moment.  Rain?  Is it raining?  No worries.  What a perfect attitude!  and it payed off - the sky cleared as the limo pulled up to the church and it turned into a wonderful day.  Once the reception kicked off at the Omni it didn't matter what the weather was doing outside, the smiles alone lit up the room.  The dancing was non stop with DJ Pete Lombard at the helm.  Thank you to Jana,  Brendan, the bridal party and the families for welcoming Anthony and I into your awesome circle.  To see more of the wedding day slideshow click here .  Enjoy!

Brian, Amy & Brian

Can you tell by the smiles that I was with one of the happiest families around?   They are as nice as they are good looking too.  Thank you Brian, Amy, and especially little Brian for inviting me along for some fun on the beach.  It was my pleasure to capture your joy!

Aliza

As I pulled into the driveway of Vinny and Wendy's home, I looked around and smiled.  I was like a kid in a candy store.  So many wonderful photo ops and then it got even better - there was little Aliza waiting for me, as beautiful as ever, in her pink dress.    So many smiles and so much fun.  I just had to share with you a little piece of our session.

The Ladies of PENNACHE

I had the privilege of photographing Gina and her great staff of  Pennache which is a new salon here in Branford located near Lenny's Restaurant.  This is such a great group of women you just have to go down and meet them.  I go there, not just for the wonderful haircuts (you noticed), but for the comedy relief.  Tracy keeps me laughing the entire time that I'm there and sometimes that can be awhile because we tend to talk allllottt!!    I had a blast photographing them as they gave me sweet beachy looks and edgy brick looks.  They can do it all.  Thank you to Gina, Jean, Tracey, Maria, Francheska, and Jessica for such a great time.

Allison & Geoff

She had a smile from ear to ear that lasted the entire day.  Surrounded by her family and friends Allison began her journey down the aisle to begin her life with her soulmate Geoff.  There was so much love and laughter in the air you couldn't help but smile too.  The day was perfect!  The Owenego was such a fantastic place for your wedding, surrounding you with sand and water - the two things you love.   Your family, friends, and bridal party were all awesome.  Many of you may recognize the maid of honor - yes that's Cindy who is normally assisting me at weddings but, once again, she chose to party instead.  Thank you Lori for helping me out with this one.  To enjoy more of Allison and Geoffs wedding - click here.  Enjoy!

Isa & Tina

Isa came in to be photographed, per his mothers request, prior to heading off to India for, I believe, a year.  Fortunately he brought his girlfriend Tina with him (for support).  Of course, I had to get her in some shots  so Isa could carry with him the memories of this time with her.  Call me sentimental but photos are the best way to capture a moment that can stay with us for a lifetime.  We had a great time together and I wish you well Isa in your studies.  I'm sure you'll do great!

The Anniversary of my 24th birthday

It has been an awesome birthday so far thanks to a wonderful Aunt who took me to New York yesterday for a great lunch at Becco's and to see In the Heights - if anyone hasn't seen this yet you're missing out.  Great music - each voice was better than the next.  Anyway, today ( the birthday)  is, as I like to refer to it, "spoil me rotten" day.  Hair, pedicure, and facial - all the elements of an extremely relaxing day.   Sorry,  if anyones looking for me -  I'm off being pampered.  Wheeeeeee!
