Have you ever cut flowers at the Gutt Family Farm? Get over there soon before it’s too late! I was there a while ago photographing for the Farm Project and things were just starting to grow. Now with the summer we’ve had, hot and dry, things are growing like weeds! Erin and Shawn met me there to be my models for a few images. Of course, I got carried away and photographed a bunch! Don’t forget to buy their corn, it’s sooo sweet. You don’t need any butter!
Oh, I remembered my Red Boots too!
Is she the sweetest dog in the whole wide world?!!! I’m a little biased because she is my girl! My daughter Kate helped out with this session (nice legs Kate!). I hope to use these for a dog portrait campaign I’m planning for the future. I’ll let you know more when I get it all together but for now, contact me and we can plan a fun, stress free portrait session with your beloved “Pup”! Bring your shoes!
She got tired of the head band. I don’t blame her! Poor Stel, what we put her through. She did great and was very excited to get the animal crackers for a treat after we finished. Luv u Stel!

While I was photographing Leah Beckett at the www.HartfordFarmersMarket.org last Thursday I couldn’t help but walk across the green to stare at the most beautiful cut sunflowers I had ever laid eyes on! I’m not joking, they looked fake they were so awesome! I kept shooting them while Maggie was packing up to leave. I think she thought I was a bit annoying but smiled when I said I would send her a few photos.

I finally photographed at the Stewart W. Beckett Farm www.BeckettFarms.net at 1296 Main St. in Glastonbury for the Farm Project. Dr. “Chip” Beckett was expecting me and Leah, his daughter was to join us a half hour later. It was a beautiful summer night as the sun was going down over the fields. I met Leah at the Historical Society Meeting in June and we talked about getting together, not thinking it would take me this long to connect. Boy, am I glad we did, she is leaving for Spain to study aboard for the entire school year, how exciting! Below are a few of the images I took of them together.
Well, I forgot to bring my red boots along, so we made plans the next day to meet at the farmers market www.hartfordfarmersmarket.org in Hartford (next to the Firebox Restaurant) where she would be working. It looked like rain so I brought along my antique umbrella just in case. Leah was so comfortable in my red boots while she was working that everyone commented on how cute she looked! Chris, from Chaplin Farms thinks so too! I’m going to miss you Leah! Enjoy your adventure in Europe!

My friend Christine gave me these old LL Bean “wellies” in the spring to wear while I’m out on the Glastonbury farms photographing. I wore them once and they were a little too heavy to walk around in so I wear my old low duck boots. Here they are in the strawberry patch at Carini’s farm on Chestnut Hill.
Well, I got to thinking about those red “wellies” and I came up with a fun and creative idea! I’ll have my clients wear them when I’m out photographing! Below are a few of Sarah who I’ve photographed since she was a wee baby! She came back to CT to have her senior portrait done by me! I’m soooo honored and thrilled,one because she wanted me to capture this special time in her life and also, that she agreed to wear them for a few shots! I love the images! Don’t you?! If you are interested , let me know and we’ll set up your session with my red “wellies” too! The bright flower on her head was made by Petal Couture (I just bought a bunch!) www.retailtherapykids.com thanks Erica! ”The Red Boot” exhibit will be scheduled sometime this winter! Don’t worry you’ll all be invited!
