I am always inspired by other photographers and often see them doing something called a personal project. A personal project gets them to shoot more regularly for themselves and that in turn makes them become better photographers. An added benefit is they are fun to do. 🙂 I have been searching for what my Personal […]

I don’t get the sunset where I live so when I want to see or photograph a beautiful sunset one of my favorite places to go is Harvey’s Beach in Old Saybrook, CT. Besides a beautiful sunset, Harvey’s Beach gets these great low tides that go way out, creating these rippled sand bars that you […]

Memorial Day weekend is my anniversary weekend. This year the real date of my anniversary – May 28th – falls on Monday.  Monday is the day of the week we got married 28 years ago. I had a fairy-tale wedding. I really did! It was a beautiful day and my, how 28 years have flown […]

I am so happy the weather has finally gotten nice again and spring is here. I have not been blogging but I did have a very busy winter! After starting my photography business last summer I had several photo sessions that continued into the fall. After the holidays, I completely immersed myself into becoming a better photographer by doing […]

Wondering what to wear for your family photos? I get tons of questions about clothing, and I totally get it! Coordinating outfits is hard. Toss in a toddler who only likes one specific t-shirt, a preschooler who wants to wear his halloween costume, and the task can feel impossible. When my girls were little, I went […]

I have a couple of really GOOD friends that I am thankful for. Laura is one of them and Leanne is the other. I had lunch with the two of them last week and it lasted for three hours because we all sit there and just listen to each other go on and on about […]

  Since I started my photography business one of the things I really wanted to shoot was a cake-smash. So when my co-worker’s ADORABLE son recently turned one I finally got my chance. Since he is a fall baby we went with the fall theme and did our cake-smash session at Strawberry Hollow Farm in […]

I really love doing Senior Sessions. Maybe because I had so much practice with my girls all through high school. Kids at this age LOVE the camera. And the camera loves the right back. I love photographing Senior boys and girls! I had the honor of shooting this handsome young man several weeks ago at […]

I love to learn about photography. Over at the Bloom Forum I am taking an online workshop called Everyday Beauty. It is teaching me to focus on the beauty that is all around me and then capture it in my photos. I love taking workshops because they make me shoot everyday, and as a result […]

Last weekend I had the honor and pleasure of shooting this happy couple at Hamonassett Beach in Madison, Connecticut. I love Hamonasset Beach. There are a lot of little places to take photos. There are rocks, grasses, and a little pathway. The happy couple and I walked all around, and as our session went on I […]
