Meet Kim, Shane, Hannah and Austin

So this was the first of it's kind for me. Kind of a "hybrid" shoot if you will. In that I mean this was a family and a Getting to know you session combined into one. What a blast! Not only was it a gorgeous day down at Harkness Memorial Park, but these guys were awesome and so much fun too! It was fun being able to goof off with Hannah and Austin for a few rounds and act like the fifteen year old I really am then turn it on when it was time to get serious for Shane and Kim. How hot are they!!!

Thanks for a great time, can't wait for the wedding!

Next up: Rachel and Kevin's ridiculously hot Getting to know you session in New Haven.

Loving the purple theme they went with.

C'mon seriously? How PHlipping cute are they!
A little mom and dad time:)
This shot was taken on top of a seven foot high wall. It looked allot more dangerous than it was so the kids were a little nervous. I told them we were going to do a Spider-Man shoot. I think they rocked it!
Super hot Kim!

You just have to love the genuine smile on a child's face. There is nothing more beautiful.

A little family surf.
One of my faves of the day below!


What an awesome day, thanks again guys!

Carl & Jennie "Too HOT To Handle"

O.K. need I say more? These guys were the true essence of a term I usually don't use, ROCKSTARS! Carl, Jennie and I wandered around Middletown for their engagement session hitting some really cool spots. We were lucky enough to be there at the same time as the Main St. Bike Festival (which was absolutely rediculous if your the Harley type). There were Harleys as far as the eye could see! Carl and Jennie were down for anything so I knew we were going to get some great images. If you like the urban stuff you definatley have to check M-town out. Needless to say, They fed my creativity with their willingness and we had a blast!

Engaged! Kiley and Justin

Meet the super cool couple Kiley and Justin! If you look up the word smitten in the dictionary you will see in parentheses (see Kiley and Justin), seriously, no I mean it , seriously! It's all about the love! Anyway, we had a great time that brought us from the Norwich Rose Gardens to Rocky Neck State Park. Their wedding isn't until next August but I'm already anxious to photograph their big day. I know we will have a great time! Congratulations again guys, see you soon.

Marissa & Don Beta e-session

At last! The Roses! Marissa and Don had the best time of the year for their e-shoot at Elizabeth Park. Thousands of people from all over try to get a glimpse of the beauty in the gardens all at the same time. So if your there between the last two weeks of June, you know how crazy it is. The biggest challenge to me is getting a great picture without 50 people in the background. After all, it is a public place.

These two had a such a sweet love for each other that you could see when they looked at one another. Don, or "The Don" was cool and chilled out, a fellow guitar player like myself and Marissa, she has that innocent look, but as she told me when I asked who would win in a fight she said "I'd kick Don's @$$!" Don't let the cuteness fool ya! Can't wait for the wedding guys, see you soon!

Mike & Edesa's Hartford Love!

Meet Mike and Edesa! I knew Mike from playing baseball when we were kids in the "Hard Hittin" New Britain city summer leagues. Actually I think we are still kids, at least I know I am! (I have no problem admitting my refusal to grow up. Now ask my wife Erin, she may say different:) As you can see, they are HOT!!!! Fun and very easy to work with to say the least. These two were complete naturals! Love was definitely in the Hartford air. It's so refreshing seeing a couple in tuned with each others souls as much as these two were. I had to tell them to stop kissing a few times because I thought the sun was going to set before they stopped, get a room or something would ya! Anyway, their wedding is going to be one crazy beautiful event! Some of my good friends, old and new are going to be there so it should be a wild one! Thanks again guys!

Leanne and Pat's Reservoir Love!!

The lady walking by was giving me this weird look as she passed me lying on the ground but L&P didn't flinch! Hey, anything to get the shot....... right?





Okay, so I'm playing serious catch-up with my blog posting here! June has been absolutely crazy! I've had 14 shoots this month alone so I've got plenty of images ready to roll. I am going to post a session a day for the rest of the week excluding Thursday and Saturday (weddings) so don't blink, you might miss something.

Anyway, back to the couple at hand. Leanne, Pat and myself ventured into the West Hartford Reservoir to do their love session (a.k.a e-shoot). I've been there plenty of times with the fam and friends but this was my first shoot there. There are some awesome trails and winding paths that are split with some cool little streams and of course, the reservoir. There are also these bunker looking hubs if you will, that I was excited to shoot in because they had a very grungy look that I loved. Leanne and Pat were total troopers, they climbed a rock wall to get on the roof of one of the buildings (the last image) to get a great shot. Like I do on all my e-shoots, I had a great time! Thanks guys for coming out, see ya at the wedding!
