THANK YOU!

Justin & Katie Got Married!!

It feels like a million years ago I blogged about my friend Justin getting engaged.. if you missed that blog.. CLICK HERE! They were babies back then!  

Well.. Justin and Katie are still the perfect match and 

THEY GOT MARRIED!  

Their story is unique.  They are both from CT. I've known Justin since high school which was... ummm.. lets just say.. that was a few years ago. Katie I only met a few years ago (but she is lovely, you'll love her soon too)   Well, they left CT and moved to Texas. They are both working and have a fur-baby Tucker and life is good. Which is great for them, but sad for the rest of us here in CT :( We miss them. 

Anyway..  When they planned to get married, they HAD to come home because everyone is here and CT is beautiful and a perfect place for a fall September wedding. 

Their wedding was the perfect combination of rustic, classic, fun and simple. It was just the perfect night for them.  The weather was great, the venue was a sweet little farm hidden in the hills of CT, the sunset was at just the perfect moment and the people were wonderful.  Oh, the food was from Old Well Tavern in Simsbury and was pretty fantastic too! 

Did I mention half the groomsmen were friends of mine also and I knew I was going to be in trouble when it came time for photos. You'll see what I mean soon enough.  LOVE YOU GUYS. 

ok, so we have the pause this story for a moment so we can discuss the elephant in the room! 

The wedding was beautiful and full of love. BUT it was missing someone SUPER important.  TUCKER!!!!  Katie and Justin brought Tucker with them because they were here for a month for the wedding.  So.... when you are staying at a beautiful lake house with your dog and you also you are having a wedding......

This happens. 

DO YOU SEE HIS BOWTIE?? 

COME ON!! 

How handsome is he??? 

 Congratulations Justin & Katie <3

Modern Senior... Kaylee's Story

Tell Your Story -- Senior Sessions

When I met Kaylee for the first time, she came down to the studio so we could chat. We were chatting about her senior portraits and it was our time to figure out what we were going to do. The thing is,  When you meet someone for the first time, you don't typically try to get their life story or figure out what makes them who they are. However, when you are a photographer thats not necessarily true! With every session, I work hard to match the people I'm photographing with an environment that best fits their interests or would make the best setting to help share their personal story. Sometimes it's not as easy as you first thought and sometimes it clicks fast and couldn't be more perfect. 

When I met with Kaylee, she had a lot going on! She is currently a small business owner. She is designing, creating and selling skirts and she is pretty fantastic at it too! She is a member of the band AND she is a senior in high school. Whoa. 

Her heart and soul however, is filled with her love for books and passion for reading.  Immediately I knew that I wanted to take her session to the library.  I mean, how many times have you thought about going to the library for professional photos? and WHY NOT? It a great idea!!! 

We headed to the Norfolk Library and It couldn't have been a better fit.  I met Kaylee and her mom at the library. When we got there, they told me that they used to live down the street from there and that Kaylee used to go to this library all the time.  Mom even had photos of Kaylee when she was little in the train in the back yard.  I didn't know any of this when we were picking locations and coming up with ideas. I just knew that I loved how the inside of this particular library looked and I thought it would really fit her personality.  

It sure is funny how things work out sometimes.  

This is Kaylee.. 

We obviously went and played on the train. 

Because.. you have to. 

Senior Year of high school is absolutely a roller coaster. It is the last year of being a "kid" but it's the first time you are thinking about being an adult. It's a time when you are starting to think about who you want to be and how you will get there.  Senior Portraits should reflect you in that crazy beautiful time of your life.  Reflecting the person you are right in this moment.

  

And if we can do that in a cool location.. even better ;)
