Brand Shoot: North Swell, Mystic

I hoped the cloud cover would hold while I texted the owned of North Swell, a brand with Connecticut roots and ocean DNA. "At the shop, waiting on the kids." Got a few spare minutes. Walked the grounds. Low tide gave us a window to shoot on the rocks of Ender's Island. I noted spots that would give us the vibe we were aiming for: iPhone-photoshoot-at-the-beach-for-someone's-instagram. Maybe a little bit of Endless Summer despite the frigid temps. We got it, then split to downtown Mystic by the drawbridge catching the late day sun. Great group of kids, great shoot.

Connecticut Senior Photo Session: Abbey

I felt kind of old today because it was probably like…five years ago when I first took photos of Abbey during some family photo sessions. And now she’s a senior in high school.

We had a great time at the Nathan Hale Homestead making some images in a traditional New England setting. Red barns. Rock walls. Wooden fences. All the good things.

Bridget and Ryan: Essex, Ct

It’s hard to believe just over a week ago we were in a heat wave! Thankfully it broke just in time for Bridget and Ryan’s wedding in Essex at one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever seen.

There were too many good moments to share from this Essex wedding, so enjoy this brief selection:
