Partner Con LA

Just booked my tickets to Partner Con in LA this September! Hollywood.... here I come!

Down to Zero @ Venue Cafe

Saturday night, I joined the boys of Down to Zero at Venue Cafe in Waterbury for an awesome show! Partly b/c it was a Saturday night off, but mostly b/c I got to rock out to some awesome music! Nothing is better than that! Here are some of the shots from that night!

















Still want more.... Check them Out again on August 7th at The Space in Hamden

Rockin out w/ the band...

Yesterday I had the pleasure of returning to some of my photography roots. I started out my shooting career shooting every band in my high school, alot of which have actually gone off to be somebody. I have always loved music so its no wonder I LOVE shooting bands.

Meet: Down To Zero

This totally rockin band hails from Waterbury CT and are influenced by bands such as The Cure, Smashing Pumkins, Deftones, Under Oath, Coldplay, Blink 182 and Bush just to name a few. Their strong instrumentals as well as their deep lyrics makes this band more than your average. After their shoot I was treated to a jam session and even messing around these guys can ROCK! I have always been the kind to love listening to local talent, Rock bands at that! There is no feeling like leaving a show with your ears ringing for more, getting in your car and pumping up your radio all the way home. And thats just what these guys treated me to! Along with being adorable and so easy to shoot, these guys are talented young men with amazing musical talents and writing abilities. Check out a some of my favorites from the day!

Want more... you can check out the guys at Venue in Waterbury this Saturday. The show is 18+, 21 to drink and only a $6 cover. You will also be treated to some of the states other local talented musicians. Come down and join the party... Every one's doin it ;)

The Engagement weekend......

Hope all you Mommies had a great Mothers Day. I spent mine traveling the state for a cram session of Engagement sessions! I met with two great couples and both being on the beach, I tried to give them a little bit of a different edge. Melissa & Fernando are getting married this September at St. Clements Castle, which I LOVE! They were an absolute blast to hang out with! We met at the West Haven Beach to do a little session. They are so cute together and were so much fun, and Melissa is absolutely beautiful. here are a few of my favorite images.

After that, I met with Dawn & Jason in Old Saybrook on a little private beach by her home. Their wedding is in July of this year, at one of my favorite places Saybrook Point Inn. This was a little harder for me b/c I realized I have never had a groom with glasses (weird huh!) And also Jason's were transitions... and he wears them all the time. He did take them off for a few shots but I didn't want to change too much who he usually is. They were also super cool and I had a blast photographing them. Dawn is beautiful as well and it was such a perfect day for all this beautiful curly "beach" hair (including myself) Here are some of my favorite shots of them!

There are some amazing new products including metal & glass insert covers. Im so excited I already ordered a few! YEAH!!! Thanks Stu! Pam and I also planed a trip to their production plant at the end of the month so we can see the books being made! Feild trip!!!!! (hahaha)

First Love... Hannah & Eric

Remember your first love... the innocent kind? When making out was all that mattered... How excited you got everytime you saw that person. How much you couldn't wait to spend every moment holding that person's hand? Don't you wish you could get that back? Before responsibilities, stress, bills... I do.

My littlest sister Hannah and her beau Eric are totally there! They spend every moment together nuzzling and snuggling. I wish we could all have the excitement they have for eachother! And I sure wish that every couple I photographed looked at each other the way they do. I took them out this weekend for some fall photos together, and they were so cute! I love the raw, innocent emotion you can see in them. Im not quite sure if it's real love, but its defiantly first love. Enjoy
