This morning, we had the first in our series of marathon holiday shoots...well, today ended up being a mini marathon due to the crazy viruses going around!

But we still had a chance to hang with the AH. DOR. ABLE. Mr. Liam. He is so beyond cute, I couldn't stand it! And he LOVES having his photo taken! And boy did Jess & I take advantage of that!!

This is all we're going to show you because Mommy & Daddy want Christmas cards out of this! ;)

And of course, what's a holiday shoot without my two little ones worming their way into the studio!!

We had a lot of fun with reflections! Can you find me and Jess? And can you tell who took the photo?

Then we decided to have some fun with flashes!!

After our engagement session at Cassidy Hill Vineyard, Dave and my girls came to meet us for a little hang out time!! The girls enjoyed some Hosmer soda and Dave, Jess & I enjoyed an amazing Reisling from Cassidy Hill. It was FANTASTIC!!

After a couple of glasses, I grabbed Jess's camera and had some fun!! (yes, I admit it, I used a Nikon...had no clue what I was doing...but used one!!)

It was so windy, we almost lost Dave!!

And yes, that's Jess at the bottom of that glass! ;)

Jamie & Jim's Engagement session

Cuteness to the Nth degree...that's how I describe them! Jamie & Jim are HUGE wine fans (especially CT wines!) - their wedding will be at Saltwater Vineyard in September 2011; so we thought a vineyard would be a great location for their engagement session!

Initially, we had the studio booked out all day long for holiday sessions and Jamie and Jim (reluctantly) agreed to tag along at the end and wait for the backdrop to ...well, drop!! :)

We had a couple of cancellations this morning due to illnesses and one phone call and 10 minutes of brainstorming - we ended up checking out Cassidy Hill Vineyard right here in Coventry!!

They were so welcoming (even though some thought I was with the NY Times and Jess was the Hartford Courant - I'm not kidding! We were asked!!) to us and gave us some great ideas and fun spots to shoot!

This next pic is my fav ring shot!

LOVE this shot Jess got of the barn!!

And look at the sparkle of Jamie's ring! ;)

Another one of my favs! LOVE the sky!

And the grapes were very photogenic! ;)

Congratulations Jamie & Jim! we're so glad the stars aligned for you and were able to share the afternoon with you!!

Dava & Seth Engagement Session

Jess & I had a fun morning on this windy morning with Dava & Seth. We got to see a part of their lives that (I think) is one of the most intimate in a couple's journey together - we went to where they met! They met at Trinity College when Seth was a junior and Dava was just a freshman! ;)

The cool thing about the first pic is the hand of the clock are pointing to their wedding date - can you figure it out?

I was introduced to Seth and Dava by their wedding planner, Erika Flowers of Upscale Events. Erika is an old friend of mine going way back (no, I am NOT saying anything about her age...we've just been friends for a LONG time!) - so far back to when I was a wedding planner too! :) I was thrilled that not only did Erika bring us this adorably amazing couple, but that I have an opportunity to work with Erika!

Jess & I had sooooooo much fun...and I think Seth & Dava had a little bit of fun too! ;)

The chapel on campus was amazing!

Seth wanted to take some photos at the radio station, as he used to be the station manager. But little did we know, they were going to be guest speakers! It was really cool that they were interviewed as alums and asked about their current careers and finding jobs.
