		<title>More Senior Portraits</title>
		<link>http://www.weddingphotographerct.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080809-042503</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I made the mistake a double booking a senior portrait session earlier this week...it could have turned into a disaster, but luckily the two girls were very cool and more than willing to go together. It worked out so well that I might add a &quot;Go with a Friend&quot; option for next year&#039;s seniors.<br /><br />We ended up a Chatfinch Island in Guilford. I am still amazed that I have lived in this area all my life and this year&#039;s senior keep taking me to beautiful places that I never knew about. I will definitely be going back to Chatfinch Island...it was absolutely gorgeous.<br /><br />Anyway...here are a few of my favorites. Sorry it took so long girls!! <br /><br /><img src="images/sr4-1_copy.jpg" width="433" height="650" border="0" alt="" />  <img src="images/sr4-2_copy.jpg" width="433" height="650" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the first of 12 wedding for the 2008 season. <br /><br />Sarah and Dave were about as lucky as you could get...the weatherman was calling for heavy storm warnings and a possible tornado warning in parts of CT, but we managed to get through the entire ceremony and all of the photos before the rain started during the last half of the reception.<br /><br />They were great to work with..no one ever stressed about the weather...except Dave a little (ha ha), because his Mustang had never been out in the rain. He actually made a special cover for it just in case...luckily he never had to use it.<br /><br />Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding.<br /><br /> <img src="images/462F2018.jpg" width="485" height="702" border="0" alt="" />  <img src="images/462F2367.jpg" width="485" height="702" border="0" alt="" />  <img src="images/462F2413.jpg" width="512" height="354" border="0" alt="" />  <img src="images/462F2500.jpg" width="512" height="354" border="0" alt="" />  <img src="images/462F2722.jpg" width="512" height="354" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ One of my goals for 2008 is to get more corporate photography jobs...so far so good. I have already secured three small corporate photography jobs in the month of January. I have two in the works that are not quite finalized yet.<br /><br /> One of the jobs was a Real Esate head shot for Frank Hird, commercial real estate agent with OR&amp;L in Branford. The photo is below. I try to make this as easy as possible, since I know business people are very busy. Frank walked out with his image on a CD-Rom the day of the photo shoot and I received an email from the corporate office telling me how happy they were with the service.<br /><br />  Over the next two months, I plan on adding a corporate photography website that detail all of the jobs I have done in the past two years. I will post a link as soon as the site is finished.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="images/Frank_Hird_BW_copy.jpg" width="350" height="507" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>

I tried them out for the first time the other night at a high school basketball game and was amazed at how different images can look when you change your lighting to different locations. Up until this point, I have always used the flash attached to my camera.<br /><br />The following shots were taken with two lights...one near half court and one near the baseline...I am hoping to get better with these over the winter...I created some nice images, but to be honest, most were by mistake.<br /><br />Enjoy<br /><br /> <img src="images/hoops1.jpg" width="485" height="702" border="0" alt="" /> <br /> <img src="images/hoops2.jpg" width="512" height="354" border="0" alt="" /> <br /> <img src="images/hoops3.jpg" width="485" height="702" border="0" alt="" /> <br /> <img src="images/hoops4.jpg" width="485" height="702" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>
