July 4th – Newtown CT Photography

July 4th Patriotic Model Shoot!

Newtown CT Photography

We headed to Newtown CT for our red, white and blue shoot. The model tribe had a blast with the shoot and then we stayed together for a picnic and they got to hang out a bit longer at a beautiful park in Newtown. The styling on this one was pretty simple; “Patriotic Americana” and they said it was their favorite so far, although they seem to say that after every group shoot……

The Edmond Town Hall movie theater is like a blast from the past, if you live close enough to check it out you should!

Thanks to our models, Taylor, Bailey, Sam, Olivia T, Tony, Olivia R., Lindsey, Payton, Avery and Meg!

Enjoy the images in time for July 4th. I may not have given up my British passport yet but I love this holiday and I am lucky to have my birthday this weekend so I almost always get fireworks on my birthday! Have a safe and fun weekend with your families and friends!

New Haven – Coachella Styled Shoot!

The Planet Photo Tribe in New Haven for a

Coachella styled shoot!New_Haven_Model_group_Planet_photo_tribe_wooster square_0001

I have always wanted to shoot in Wooster Square in New Haven on one of the very few days that the trees are blossoming and the weather cooperates. A festival in the square at the weekend narrowed down our options and spring break meant that lots of the model team were out of town but on the last day we managed to pull together a road trip. We decided on a Coachella styled shoot, festival goers caught on a spring day. I loved seeing how everyone interpreted the style and I think the Coachella theme will continue to be popular for senior sessions for 2016-2017, it lends itself to lots of different locations. This is the time to express your personality and interests and to capture them forever. Don’t forget you get to change your outfit as many times as you want with all the Planet Photo Senior Session options!

Needless to say we had a blast and ended the shoot with a trip to Pepes arguably the best pizza in New Haven and then onto Libby’s for Italian pastries. Thank you to our Planet Photo tribe: Tony, Meg, Lindsey, Payton, Taylor and Avery

CT Senior Photography – Meet Tony!

Planet Photo CT Senior Photography Session – Tony 2KSEVENTEEN

Tony came into the studio a couple of weeks ago with his dance bag in hand. I have known him since elementary school days and he has grown into such a handsome and well rounded young man. He is whip smart and has a great sense of humor but this is just a short introduction to his passion for dance and theater arts.
