All for a good cause

My clients simply rock.
Really, you do.

When I sent out an email stating I was photographing a limited amount of sessions for charity, they all stepped up to the plate. By the next day, I had 99% of my slots filled :-) It took just a few days later to fill 100% of the spots.

You really do rock.
Thank you.

We spent a course of 2-days, photographing sessions with 100% of the proceeds going to ASCONN, a Connecticut-based charity who provides resources and support to those on the Autism spectrum.

Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. (Source: www.autismspeaks.org)

It's one of the fastest growing diagnoses, and yet many insurance companies limit or provide no coverage to families for treatment. Until now. Beginning in January, 2009, insurance companies are mandated to provide occupational therapy, speech therapy and physical therapy to those who are diagnosed on the spectrum.

Thank god.

My clients rock because they are giving back to the community, and helping families in need.
I've had clients donate even though they weren't going to have a photo session. They simply wanted to give. (Did I mention my clients rock?)

If you are looking to donate to a worthy cause, please check out: ASCONN
Every little bit helps.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Melissa & Rob

It was a Friday afternoon wedding at the Bushnell- and the light... wow.. all the natural lighting:-) Meg (yes, Miss Creative Collection herself!) helped me with this wedding (thank you so much!!)... and we were drooling over the lighting! Seriously, we were like two kids in a candy store.

Melissa and Rob had a tremendously fabulous weather day-- and had much time for "formal" photos in between their ceremony and reception. The reception was held at the oh-so-sheek The Gershon Fox Room in Hartford-- and there again, the lighting inside was faboo! (Literally the lights in the Gershon were photo-worthy ;-)

I quickly glanced at the photos and picked out a few favs ;-)
Can you tell I went straight for the formals? LOL!

Enjoy!

For this photo, no boys allowed :-)

Another sequence of photos- which do you prefer? Same photos, different layout.

While I was taking photos on stage, Meg grabbed this opportunity to use a gorgeous window.. this was my take on it. Can't wait to see Meg's!!
We took some photos in one of the other theaters.. and although lighting was less than steller.. a few of the close-ups were timeless! There's something about this photo that struck me....

Tori & Nara

I love exploring new places to shoot! Renbrook school, located in West Hartford, is a perfect (but private) location to shoot :-) I had the pleasure to meet Tori & Nara (such beautiful girls) to do a photoshoot.

Here is a sneak preview to their day- enjoy!
