AHS Class of 2010 comes to a close

We finished our first year as the official photographers for Avon High School. It was a lot of work, but in the end we did a good job. Our last task was the graduation ceremony it was very hot and sunny. Bill, Jenna and I all were armed with cameras. It was a nice ceremony, and the students were so happy to get their diplomas. I have gotten to know so many of the families so it was special to be a part of it all.

Best of luck the all the graduates of 2010!

I was in charge of candids so I took 411 shots.

Total 20,224

Mozeltov!

Busy month! I shot three Mitzvahs! Two Bats one Bar- I already talked about Samantha's so I wont mention that one again. Jake and Lauren were my other two.

Jake's was outside, at a day camp. There was so much for kids to do that it was hard to cover everything. I brought the underwater camera and thru it in the pool so the kids could play. They gave out towels. Nice touch. I had Work Ali come with me to help out. The only bad thing is that he is a Eagles fan...ewe!

Next up was Lauren, remember she brought her pet gecko to her photo shoot. Way cool. Her party was at La Trotoria in Canton. Second time in one month. There is a girl doing an Internship at Moto photo, her name is Isabelle she attends Miss Porters private school. She has to put in 80 hours. She's sweet! Anyways she came to the party for a couple of hours and I let her take some shots.

Total for both Mitzvahs is 1740

Total to date 19,569

Hello Sailor!

It was a busy few days in the studio.

A sailor came into the studio for his parents. He is being diploid soon and he wanted to give them a nice portrait in his uniform. I took 51 shots of him.

Also shot a young girl for a life size cut out we made of her for her Bat Mitzvah (122). Finished up Simsbury Lacrosse team photos with 59.

In studio I shot a little girl named Caroline. She was soo cute. 180 shots.

In May I took 14 passports.

I'm Old!

Ok, I shot an engagement session for a good friends son. They were a lot of fun and went with everything I said. The only problem is when I was trying to re enact the ending of the movie Officer and a Gentleman. You know when Richard Gere carries Debra Winger off at the end, you know one of the most romantic scenes in cinema history!!!! They had no clue what I was talking about. Kids!

Any ways I wish them luck and here's to Matt safely returning home.

Shot 206

Bat Mitzvah!

I shot Samantha's Bat Mitzvah. She had her party at La Trotoria in Canton. While I was waiting for the kids to show up I took images of a menu they had in a frame. The prices are a little better then they are today! Italian Ravioli only .50, Hamburgs .15. PIE only 10 cents!!!. I love how they served appetizers and relishes!

I shoot 1158 images at the Mitzvah

18 all together.

Torrington Middle School Track

Every year I am lucky enough to shoot the TMS track team. I have been shooting this team since Ali was in sixth grade, and I am sad to say that was 13 years ago!!! Yikes!!

Also shot an engagement session for a very cute couple that are getting married in October. It should be a good wedding, they were very cute, but need to work on their dance skills a little!
