Jennifer and Scott Getting To Know You Session, Harkness State Park

Meet Jennifer and Scott! We spent the day down in Waterford (my home away from home) at Harkness Memorial State Park. This is by far the most elaborate, elegant, fun and diverse place to photograph in CT. You get the beach, with or with out the rocky coast, the French and Italian gardens, the huge mansion and of course the 200+ acres of land. It's a great place for a getting to know you session or a wedding!

Next up: Courtney and Marie's Brooklyn Love! You don't want to miss this one fo sho!



I absolutely love this boardwalk.

This is me standing about 10 feet in the air defying my fear of heights.

Gotta love sea grass.


Here is a small example of that 200 acre feild. I love this image.
Thistles everywhere.
Oh and not to forget the really cool vines everywhere too.

Thanks again guys for hanging out. looking forward to the big day only 46 days away!

Sarah and Kurt's Harkness/Mystic Connection

Meet Sarah and Kurt! Last week we spent a few hours down at Harkness Memorial Park taking in the beautiful day. Harkness is such an amazing place, a photographer's and bride's dream if you will. My one complaint if any is that it is so big (200 acres) it can take all day to hit the whole park. We decided to take the short route then head over to Mystic for a quick session and an awesome dinner at Rice, Spice, Noodles.

These two were tearing it up the lens all over the place. Here's a few from the day.





All my Brides have been rockin the shades lately! I'm loving it though!


The famous draw bridge of Mystic.
Sarah was a magnet to the beautiful golden sun light. I'd say she wears it well :)

I love Sarah's eyes in this one.
Okay, so I told Sarah I thought she looked like a young Meg Ryan. C'mon, seriously!
Kurt looking all stellar.
Gotta love the shades.

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!

Jocelyn & Pete = Oh So Sweet!





How hot is Jocelyn!!!






I had the pleasure of hanging out with two friends of mine, Jocelyn and Pete, to shoot their engagement session at Harkness Memorial Park. Jocelyn is a photographers dream! She loves photography and appreciates the art so it's so easy to photograph her (and Pete too:) because she knows exactly what to do. As you can see in the shot with the Buddha, Pete is a jokester and has a hard time keeping a straight face. When it comes to Pete, you never know what he's going to do next, my kinda guy!

These two are the sweetest couple and it shows in the way they look at each other. They get married in July at The Riverview in Simsbury, I can't wait, I know we are going to have a great time!
