It's been a while...

because at times you just need to hold on...

Molly and Mark

Being a Ct. Wedding Photographer is a great thing. Ct. is a great state, beautiful woodlands, rolling fields, the ocean.... It's a great thing. But what's better is heading out to other states, places and lands for weddings. This particular wedding was in Rhode Island, a beautiful location nestled into the woods, a nice little pond, indoor outdoor reception and so many great smiles. 

Of course there was the clouds above, the threat of rain, thunderstorms and just not much greatness. Ya know, in England they say rain is good luck on your wedding day. Though my theory there is that they have to go by those words because it rains there just about every day...

And while those rain clouds where above, the rain stayed right where it was suppose to. Tucked away in the clouds, meaning that the ceremony could take place outside on the lawn with the pond in the background and beauty all around...

And what a great day it turned out to be. Beautiful smiles, a wonderful time for all and the uniting of two great souls... Molly & Mark....

See.... We need to love what we do.

Loving what we do in our lives is such a huge thing. From work to your spare time. If you're not truly enjoying what you do, well, what's the use??? 

Now I'm not saying, get up and quit your job if you're not happy. Sometimes it's our "jobs" that bring us the ability to do the other things that we love... What I am saying is quite simple, don't sit there and just think about how nice it would be to do this or that. Just go do it. From hiking, to painting to what ever else you find pleasure in, do it. If you need help, ask, if you don't know how to do it but want to, learn... We only have so much time and it's that time that you should enjoy. Now don't leave those in your life behind, bring them along for the ride and let them enjoy your happiness as well. And let them do the same... It can all be great. 

And lately, the shoots, the websites and more have been nothing less than great. Sure, throwing my back out wasn't exactly great. But with the help of those around me, I pulled through and in the mean time, even had a chance to rock out a portrait / engagement session with Stacey and Miles. I can't wait to shoot their wedding in the VERY near future... :o) What can I say, I LOVE WHAT I DO!

A little Jennifer and David Teaser

A beautiful day, with some awesome people and some great energy made for a wedding that just rocked!!! As for the photos, yea, they rock too! So for a little teaser.....

Too much time has passed...

At times, it blows my mind at how much time can creep by with out having a moment to spare on getting on here to spread some of the recent happenings. This has surely been one of those times and because of that, there's a very good chance this post may be long, contain many different stories, pieces of time and what not...

Sooooooooo.... To start off, Collinsville, Ct. One of, if not THE best small town in Ct. Of course part of that is because it happens to be my town. Anyway, it looks like we're about to jump head first into a great little music and art festival. The plan, music all day, art all day, smiles and fun all day. More details to follow so stay tuned!!! And if you're reading this and want to volunteer, by all means. Let me know.

Another up and coming! Dog portraits! As many of you know I'm an animal lover, a photography lover and there's a whole new side of TAB Photographic rolling in. I won't give away the entire thing yet. Just be ready for a new site, new fun and awesome, lovely, rockin' photos for dogs and a random cat.. (if need be)

Some photography happenings, shot a great wedding this past weekend in New Haven. I'll post some of those shots ASAP! And two weeks ago I stepped up to volunteer to shoot at the MS Walk with one of my other shooters Jeff. Cudos to Jeff for heading out on the walk while I had to stay behind for some simple and fun team photos... You can check out some shots by watching the video below.

Other things, yea, the news. We don't need to go there. The "pork flew", yes I know it's "flu", is just that, a flu. Not a good thing, but don't stop enjoying your days and your life. If anything, it's more of a reason to be happy for what we do have. Or don't have. Like the pork flew.

The economy, yea, we all know about that, but it seems to be picking back up...

Obama's first 100 days, all good....

Life as we know it, just rocks! Keep working on today, and enjoying the moments. With out those, we have nothing...

"The portion of reality that you act upon is the portion of reality that you think about. So, what are you thinking about?

What do you think this day will bring? What do you think you'll be able to accomplish?
What do you think you deserve? What do you think is the best way forward?
The way you think is the way you are. Choose those thoughts that empower you, and inspire you, and compel you to give your best effort in moving forward.

Imagine in rich detail the story of your own upcoming success. Think it intensely and you'll soon be doing it.

Give your thoughts a magnificent place to live. And the whole of you will be living there too. "
