This week I made the trek down to Connecticut to spend the day with the insanely talented photographer AND teacher- Carla Ten Eyck. I know I’ve mentioned her before, and without sounding all gushy and weird, but spending some 1 on 1 time with Carla gives me a serious kick in the butt to kick up my photography and my self-esteem. When I get in a rut, I always know that I need to spend some time with Carla. And after all  my crappy bed-rest & maternity leave with Henry- some C10 time is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. I’m so pumped now to kick off engagement/family/wedding season now! {If you are a photographer and need some inspiration & instruction….you have to hook up with Carla!}

The models were the totally GORGEOUS Mr. & Mrs. Jared Crandon…not models…just totally should be! Tori was drop-dead gorgeous & had the coolest vintage dresses…hello, Mad Men…..she totally needs to become a stylist….she just doesn’t know it yet.

Hair and make-up was done by the ridicously talented Catie Bane of Dana Bartone & Company. {And on a totally different side note, I’ve cancelled my appointment to bob my hair…I’m letting it grow thanks to Tori!}
