I apologize for the excessive delay in posting new material up here. I just moved to NY a few weeks ago and I'm settling into my new position as Director of Communications at Friends Seminary, a private school in Manhattan. The school has a very strong reputation for being a diverse and philosophically open school. It's one of the oldest schools in NYC, opening its doors in 1786. It has some incredible alums...Theodore Roosevelt all the way to modern day celebrities like Kyra Sedgwick and Amanda Peet. My colleagues - staff and faculty - are great and I'm adjusting really well to the position in the midst of a bustling city. I do miss Naugatuck in many regards, along with my friends at Sacred Heart, but I'm happy I made the leap.

Along with the move, I'm also in the process of selling my Naugatuck condo, which I have found a buyer...looking to close Sept 30th! When I haven't been making condo improvement reconnaissance missions to Naugatuck on weekends, I've been entrenched in the production of the school's Annual Report only three weeks into my new position. On top of that, I've been shooting weddings, including one coming up this weekend in Vermont. I've been exhausted to say the least. I'm looking forward to September....the Annual Report will be complete and I don't have any weddings booked until October. So here's just a few images from a recent engagement session with Josh and Ayn-Monique at Riverside Park in NYC. I'll be posting a few recent wedding images shortly as well. Click here to see the entirety of the shoot...

Finally, an update. ...But you've already lost me as an RSS subscriber. (Especially with shadows covering the lips of the kiss beneath that otherwise well crafted sepia shot beneath the wrought iron heart).

Congrats on the job move,

The news world in CT has not been the same since you left, but many would say that you got out when the getting was good. Missed seeing you at UConns season opener.

Keep shooting!
