Getting our Feet Wet

June 1st, 2007

I am not so good at updating this blog, I am realizing. I have been checking out other people’s blogs – people who update their blogs regularly…sometimes daily! My mother-in-law is one of those who is on top of the blog thing. You should check out her blog, and website. Besides her luscious hand dyed yarns, she says some really nice things about my photos. I am super lucky to have such amazing in-laws. I have heard so many horror stories about the evil mother-in law syndrome, and I can happily report that I can not relate! I actually love telling people this – I love seeing their confused expressions. Anyway, it’s pretty awesome having a fellow artist and AMAZING female business owner role-model. This is the real reason I married my husband . All joking aside, I have been so busy working and reading up on flash techniques that I have put aside 3 skeins of Lisa’s Blue Faced Leicester yarn (in peacock). I am waiting for a worthy project.

Speaking of flash techniques, I was second shooter for the talented Autumn of Autumn Photography about two weeks ago. I can’t even tell you how much fun I had (nerve racking at times, but definitely fun)! Autumn is just so fun and easy to work with that I couldn’t have planned it any better. I am looking forward to working more with her, and I will eventually post some of my photos.

So, I titled this entry “Getting our Feet Wet” partially because I am a total noob to the area, but also because Erik & I did just that this past Memorial Day weekend. We took a bike ride down to one of Milford’s Beaches and Erik put his feet in the Atlantic ocean for the very first time!

I was hesitant – the water is cold! But I eventually followed suit

It was pretty humid, but otherwise we couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather. Sunny and warm!

There are tons of seagulls by the beach, and I saw a lot of empty shells and half eaten fish (apparently fish heads are a delicacy).

Erik was also very interested in the shells and rocks

It is so awesome living so close to the beach! We are gonna have a fun summer for sure.

Louis’s 6 Month Old Portrait Session – Hamden, CT

May 29th, 2007

I know I haven’t written in quite a while, and I do have a lot to catch up on! The highlight of the past few weeks for me was the 6 month session for Baby Louis. He is just about one of the cutest babies ever. I had so much fun documenting his morning routine, and I felt really special to witness the special bond between Louis and his mom. Just priceless. So, here are a few of my favorite shots from the morning….and trust me, it was hard to pick just a few – this little guy is photogenic!
