New Website!!!!!
I’m so excited to tell everyone that I have FINALLY updated my website. I have been meaning to do it for months, but I have just been so busy! At any rate….it’s done.
I just wanted to add that neither my website, my photography, or my business in general would be what it is today without the help of quite a few people. One in particular is Eric Langlois from Raw Photo Design. He has not only been an inspiration, but he has been supportive, encouraging, constructive, and just plain fun. I also wouldn’t have had the opportunities to grow my business and my portfolio if it wasn’t for him! My goal isn’t to be the most superb photographer in the world…because being quite honest…I can think of at least 12 that couldn’t be touched and I love knowing there is still more for me to learn. My entire goal over the last year has been to learn and grow. I feel I have accomplished that, and I don’t see my self stopping anytime soon! So a huge thank you to Eric for letting me tag along and play!!!!
I also wanted to thank my husband Joe and my boys Christian, Branndon, and Noah, who have really sacrificed a lot over the last year for me to pursue my new found love of photography. Without their love I’d be only half the person I am!
Also a huge shout out to a few of the Pugger’s I’ve come to know and love….Carla Ten Eyck, Paul McNerny, Krystal Prue, Rob Trensky, Kiva, Robin Dini, Justin and Mary Marantz, Nikki Nicole, Val McCormick, Eric Foley, and Steve Depino…….(did I leave anyone out!) These people have either supported me and given me encouragement, or have been a huge part in my learning process over the last few months! Thank you all…
(For those of you who don’t know, this is the Pictage User Group of Hartford CT, and they are some of the coolest people I know)
So it’s not that the new site is the most amazing thing ever, but I have seen a huge improvement in my photography over the last year and I wanted to showcase that, but more importantly I wanted all of you to know that I am only able to do this through the experiences and support you have all selflessly given me!
What is a Diva?….
A diva is a term usually used to describe a celebrated female singer or actor. The term was originally used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent. It derives from the Italian word ‘diva’ meaning “goddess” or “fine lady”[1]. TIME magazine observed in its October 21, 2002 issue: “By definition, a diva was originally used for great female opera singers, almost always sopranos.”(from Wikipedia)
Meet Rebecca…..she is my Diva sister!!!!! This chick simply rocks. She is one of those charismatic, quick witted kind of women that you just want to be around all the time because she is a pure blast no matter what you are doing. I think “Diva”, “Goddess” and “Fine Lady” describe her perfectly. I met Rebecca back in the spring while second shooting at her wedding with Dave Jeffrey from CT Photo Group. We made pretty quick friends (because I am naturally drawn to women of her caliber) and she eventually asked me to trash her dress. Needless to say I had an absolute blast this past Sunday afternoon at Kent Falls trashing her dress with her and our 50 million onlookers. Man did we make a spectacle of ourselves. Later we were met by Eric Langlois of Raw Photo Design and he also has some rockin shots from the affair, so check out his blog.
Here is my sneak peak of the trashing….and I’ll do another post in the next few weeks with my final edits. Rebecca I hope you enjoy them….:) and thank you so much for the awesome afternoon!!!!!
(P.S….just a side note here….I have really been neglecting my blog. Between the kids being on summer break, the new deck we built, and our vacation in Nags Head N.C….I have been beyond busy. This post is out of order, but I wanted to get them up for Rebecca…so hopefully I’ll be getting the other posts up that I have been meaning to do!!!)
Here she is….Amy the rockin super model! I have been locked in the digital darkroom since 8 this morning, (with all the Jamaican photos I “tooled”) but I did get to a few of my favorite shots of Amy!!! This was a shoot I did last weekend with Eric from Raw Photo Design, whom as you all know, is kick ass!!!! (http://www.rawphotodesign.com/) I had such a blast on this shoot I can’t even explain it. Amy was a natural behind the camera and just tore it up! You go girl! And it wouldn’t of been possible without Eric’s lovely assistants either! Here are a few of my favs and at this point who knows when I will get to the rest???
