Inspire Project 52-44

Last weekend Sandra and I decided to take it upon ourselves to have our own little lighting refresher course, it was a blast and we learned quite a bit... for example in this photo, I learned that I forgot the hair light! whoops. I just really liked this photo, she looks beautiful and angelic! There are others I'll have to share too :)

Inspire Project 52-45

I have gotten a little behind on my "Inspire project" but mostly because I've been shooting :) This months category is portraits and since you've seen a zillion of my son (and you'll see more too) I figured I would start with my little girl :) My puppy is the best dog in the world and I know we all say that about our dogs but she truly is! She is so friendly, she is a watch dog, she is so smart, and a good listener, she loves to snuggle and loves just about everything, other than her baby brother, but I'm sure that will change.
Maisey has a sister who lives with my sister and they just love each other and love playing together, it's so cute.
Show me some of your portrait photos!

Engagement Shoot- New Haven, CT

Last Friday, Kaylin & Raul and I spent the bitterly cold, windy afternoon down on the beach in New Haven, at Light House Park. I for one had a blast (and I think they had a pretty good time too!) I hadn't met Raul yet and he was absolutely hysterical, which lead for some laughs and glares from Kaylin! Despite the cold they were such troopers dealing with the winter conditions for the shoot... here are some of my favorites, and you can find all my favorites in this slide show.

I LOVE this whole scene the sky, the grass their moment... Love it :)
Raul was full of "tricks" that kept us all laughing!

They are so cute together, full of little moments

And... the dip

The sun was just starting to set, love this causal moment with a little lens flair from the sun.

KK + RV = Love

See what I mean, they were just full of great moments, and Raul has a way of making Kaylin smile in the most natural way, they were awesome!

And this photo pretty much sums up our afternoon

Kaylin & Raul- I had such a great time photographing you two, you make such an awesome couple full of fun and great smiles. I know you will be living at a distance for some time and hope you have these photos to remind you how happy you make one another and come June you'll be married! Looking forward to your wedding! Enjoy!

The C Family Welcomes Baby 'C'

Back in the fall I photographed this great family for 'E's first birthday... since then they have welcomed a new member to their family... baby 'C'. He was born 2 weeks early and was the perfect addition to the already perfect family. Here are some of my favorites. And don't forget to check out the slide show too!

The whole family
Big brother 'E' is just so adorable to me and he was such a show stealer... but how could you not be!

Mommy and Baby 'C' so precious

Love those kisses!
