Beyond The Lens Photography bio picture

Visual Artist Unleashed

I am a mother, a wife, a friend, and a photographer.  Photography is the part of my life that has brought me here:

Welcome to my blog.  Here you can find my most recent work along with other tidbits from life's adventures.  I have had a camera in my hand since my first son was born 12 years ago.  Since then, what was a hobby, has flourished into an obsession and a career.  I find my passion for photography grows everyday.  Whether it is something new to learn, a new friend to make, or a new place to explore.  Photography challenges me, and allows me a creative outlet all at the same time.  So I welcome you to look around and get to know me a bit, feedback and conversation are always appreciated.  And check back often for new posts and stories!!!

Julie and Mike; Engagement Session, Kent, Connecticut

April 30, 2009 Engagement

Meet Julie and Mike…two of the most laid back, go with the flow, “what’evs” kind of people I have ever meet. We had their engagement session this past Sunday at Kent Falls Connecticut and man did they rock-it-out! Even Penny, their Beagle mix, was willing to smile pretty for the camera. Mike also has a soft spot for classic cars, so we did a few shots with one of his “babies” as well. Looking forward to shooting the wedding in June guys!

Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day. Make sure to leave lots of comments for Julie and Mike. I’ll be announcing a competition soon for which ever of my couples this year that gets the most comments on all of their combined posts on the blog!
