Fall Fun with Brevdog {CT photography}

These images are a combination of October times in the life of Brevinn!!! I took a few photographs in the leaves in our backyard, because it was just a gorgeous fall day, and above 60 degrees in late October!!! The images in the bath, were something I wanted to capture for a LONG time and finally had the time to to get him in all his glory and birthday suit! The packer outfit was a day we had family pictures taken at Elizabeth Park and I grabbed a few shots of him in his Aaron Rodgers Jersey....I just love football season!!!!

An afternoon at Harkness Momorial {CT family portrait photography}

2 weeks ago now, I had the pleasure of photographing the Singer family at Harkness Memorial in Waterford, CT. We also photographed them in their backyard in Niantic, CT a bit before our drive to Harkness. I know this wonderful family from my church in South Windsor, CT, Messiah Lutheran. Lori organized the vacation day camp for our church this year, it's a week long ALL DAY bible camp for kids!!! She does an amazing job organizing this huge event!

On the day of this shoot it looked like we were going to get rained out as I drove to the coast! However, it was just a perfect day for photographing! Greg and Brevinn came with me for this shoot as they were graciously invited by Rob and Lori for lunch. At Messiah, our church members are spread out all across the state, so it's wonderful seeing them out side of church because it doesn't happen that often!!! Thank you Rob and Lori, for the lunch, and for choosing me to capture your family memories of 2009! God's blessings!

Joel & Susan, for the Love of Vino {CT engagement photography}

I'm crazy abut the sky and the amazing colors that were available to us this day....I feel like all fall it's been just plain yucky out, however the days that I go to shoot a session, God is shining on me and it turns out to be another gorgeous day!!!! This day was especially amazing because the days surrounding it were horribly cold and rainy! We shot Joel and Susan's engagement session at Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford, a beautifully crafted vineyard that has a ton of events happening all of the time. I connected with Joel and Susan through two friends of mine. Marianthy and Nia, who were both involved in my calendar project, "Galleria Vivid's most eligible." It was so wonderful to meet you two, I know you'll have a beautiful wedding!!!

A Perfect Eclectic Wedding, Congrats Nick & Cary {Connecticut Wedding Photography}

Hello everyone!! I am so excited to post these FUN images from Nick and Cary's wedding at the Golden Lamb Buttery in Brooklyn, CT!!! An amazing place for any occasion! I felt like I was driving into a new country as I approached the scenic fields with stone walls surrounding the Golden Lamb! This place is definitely a destination worth visiting. If you are looking for a great view of Connecticut, don't miss this! On their wedding day, October 17th, 2009, it was a little chilly. However, it was a gorgeous day for photography, with perfect light peaking through the clouds. Cary & Nick, we had a BLAST photographing your wedding, I was so inspired by your passion, the scenery, and the details. Enjoy the photographs! Much Love & Many Blessings, Missy

October Snow, with Morgan & Padriac {CT Engagement Photography}

I recently had the extreme privilege of photographing an autumn snow....amazing to say the least! On our way to Mass, we were unsure how the day would unfold in terms of weather, but the closer we came to our destination the more the sun decided to peek out of the clouds! We drove to Bash Bish Falls located in Mt. Washington, MA. These falls were amazing truly! On this day I was photographing Morgan and Padriac, one of the first couple's to book me for their wedding in 2010. These two are unbelievably sweet! I know I seem to say that all of the time, but seriously the couples that I get to know through my work, WOW, I cannot say enough about them, they are GREAT!!!! For some reason, Morgan and I seemed to have clicked right away, I feel like I've known her forever. Morgan and Padriac, it's always a pleasure!!!! Blessings & Bubblegum! Much Love, Missy
