If you don't know someone and are trying to find out more about their business, services, personality etc, a lot of times you'll look them up and check out their "about me" page. I myself have 1 and I can't talk about myself without talking about my family. It's everything to me, absolutely everything. Nothing is more important in my world. Some will try to keep their business and personal photos/feelings/insights separate, and I thought about it, but it's too much of who I am in all aspects of my life. So I feel like I'd be hiding a huge part of me if I didn't share. The collage below IS my about me page. My favorite "personal" photos from 2013.
Light testing
Last week we were able to get into the Southington Crossfit building to play around with some lights and portrait stuff. If you're on the fence about joining crossfit, stop by here, talk to the coaches and they'll have you hooked. Great atmosphere. Anyway here are a couple finished shots from the other day. Photo of me is courtesy of Rob Booth.
We'll be back shooting more crossfitters sooon. Enjoy.
This setup is 1 alien bee in Beauty dish to light my face, 1 alien bee lighting the backdrop setup and 1 flash in the far back right corner lighting the brick wall

Again 1 light in a beauty dish
Office Space
This is where I spend a lot of my life. I'm a sucker for before/after photos of projects so here is 1 of my own. This is a long overdue post, but I finally had the room clean enough to photograph. The wife would have words with me otherwise. I honestly love the feel of the room and the fact that the kids aren't allowed in here...who I am kidding, they're down here all the time. I've watched many a "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" down here. Take a look at "my" space.
Love all of the little pieces down here like the driftwood from Block Island and the Mariano print from a game I shot at Yankee StadiumThis is my favorite area below. The shelves are made from pallet wood.The desk is made from an old door from the house and a couple ikea legsa few vintage cameras from antique shopsMy favorite print of AnthonyPallet coffee table and my shelf above my tvI wanted an easy way to swap photos on my wall so I made a little ledge to lean my framed printsI couldn't be happier with the transformation.

Favorite Wedding Images of 2013
2013 was a good year. Here are a few of my favorite moments. Still finishing up my New Year's Eve wedding but I had to get this posted. Thank you to every one of my couples for letting me do what I love. I'm really looking forward to 2014 but definitely enjoying a little down time this winter. Check out my year of weddings. Enjoy and Happy New Year.
