Since Jaedyn decided to be a pretty witch (though everyone still thought she looked a little like the girl from The Ring), I decided to be a scary witch. She was SO into Halloween this year, so she had me excited about it too. I haven’t gotten this into my costume in ages! My Father in Law and husband carved/scraped up some pumpkins so I had to take some quick shots of those too. These were all taken with my point and shoot Canon G7 and are straight out of the camera.

the last of Tom’s pumpkin (yes, all 3 are on one pumpkin)

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

So, the last couple of months or so have been pretty crazy around here and I haven’t as much time to update my blog as I would have liked… so…. I thought I’d share a quick sampling of recent weddings, engagement sessions and family sessions. If you’d like to view the available slideshows for these events, please click on the photos!

Hope everyone’s staying dry today and if you have to drive, please be safe!

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the Research Editor of Wedding VOW magazine to see if I would be interested in submitting any of my work for publication in their premier issue coming to the Norwalk area this January. I was, however, a little bit disappointed that their target area is so small… Greenwich to Bridgeport. I have had so many fantastic weddings that I would love to submit, but they did not match the target area. I did have some that either partly took place within the target area or the couple lived within the area but got married elsewhere, so I submitted a few weddings for her to look at. I received an e-mail back saying that they had chosen one of my photos to be published in the “I Do” section of the January edition! Having never even entertained the thought of submitting for publication, I am over the moon! So, without further ado… I present to you Lauren and Steve… the photo that will be published in the January edition of VOW magazine which will be available in the lower Fairfield County area.It’s a great site, so check it out! They even have a wedding planning guide and lots of great resources! The Norwalk, CT edition will be premiering January 14, 2008, so keep an eye out!

Check out the main gallery page, a la PickPic, now accessible directly from my site under “client proofs”! I’m still uploading galleries like a madwoman, so if you don’t see yours and it should be up, please bear with me. If yours is up and somehow I missed sending you an e-mail notification, please let me know! I’m still in the process of uploading galleries that were lost in the server switch (thanks to my old server!) and still configuring the rest of the system… everything should be finished up by mid-week.

My site is finally back up and running, thanks to Rebecca at PickPic! She was awesome and went SO far above and beyond to help me out as this really had nothing to do with her. Unfortunately, during the move from BluDomain’s servers over to WestHost, Blu seems to have lost some of my files - specifically all of my client galleries and the entire system they ran on. I am trying to get them to help me restore them, but they may be lost. Luckily, I went through this move partly because I am switching over to a sweet new gallery/cart system - PickPic. Rebecca & Troy are aware of the major issues that have been going on with my site this week and they are working VERY hard to help me get everything resolved and get my new PickPic galleries up and running ASAP so at least I can reload everything onto there if Blu can’t find my lost files. I am so sorry for any inconvenience with the missing galleries. They should all be back up by Monday (including the most recent ones that are due to be online this week), however they may be located in a different place if they are loaded into the new system. I will update and let everyone know as soon as I know what is happening with them.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my site is currently down, but should be back up and running *hopefully* in the next 24 hours. I’m in the process of switching servers and with that comes some hiccups along the way. I apologize for any inconvenience! I’m trying to get it all switched over as quickly as possible!

I just wanted to congratulate my friends Justin and Mary who got married today and also send a public congratulations to my sister in law Melissa who recently got engaged to her long time and totally awesome boyfriend Dan!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Okay, okay, I promise, I will be posting some new photos soon!!!

I have been MIA for the last 2 weeks… first my husband and I went on our mini vacation to The Gunks (which was AWESOME and I can’t wait to post some photos!), then I got home, photographed Chris & Christina’s wedding at The Milford Yacht Club on Saturday, had a few meetings and photographed a super cute couple and their gorgeous dog on Sunday, then on Monday I was at the neurologist for a medical procedure that I did not think would have me laid up for more than a day, but alas, I’m still recuperating. I had a lumbar puncture done to diagnose me for something, and though I’m still hurting pretty badly from it, my neurologist and opthalmologist were correct in their suspicions and it means a much better life for me! Anyone who knows me knows that I get terrible migraines ALL THE TIME. Well, it turns out that for the most part they weren’t actually migraines, but it was from a rare disorder and now that it has been diagnosed and I’m being treated for it, I’ve had NO MORE HEADACHES!!! I cannot tell you how happy that makes me! I’m still not feeling all that fabulous from the lumbar puncture and I’m trying to get caught up on the hundreds of new e-mails in my inbox right now, so it’s still going to take me a bit to get back up to speed.

More good news: I’m being published! One of my photos has been selected to appear in Wedding VOW magazine’s premier edition for the Norwalk area which comes out January 14th. Congratulations to Lauren & Steve whose photo was chosen!

Thank you all for your patience while I recuperate and get back on my feet. Trust me, a week of being “down” is SO worth it! I already feel renewed!

I know, I know, I have a ton of updating to do! All in good time…..

I’m off for a mini vacation with my hubby to “the Gunks” in New Paltz, NY, located in the Mohonk Mountain Preserve and I can’t wait! We’re celebrating my husband’s 30th birthday (this Friday) and our 5th anniversary (the 26th)! I can’t wait to share photos from our trip!

Have a great week!
