As usual, I had an amazing time at Brimfield this July. Yes, it was hot and it can make people a lotta miserable, but it did nothing to dampen my spirits, cuz I love me some Brimfield! Every year I go armed with a list, and every year, I don’t stick to it. This...
Smelling the roses seems to be a thing of the past these days, at least in my life. Even though I try to spend the time enjoying the simple things, the hours just roll by so quickly and at the end of the day, my to-do list seems like it’s twice as long as...
I love this little man, and if you’re this cute, groupies just come with the territory. If your real good acting, they won’t put you down. Honestly, I think he’s practicing for the future because the ladies really dig him….especially me!
Spring is without a doubt my favorite time of the year, and after a rainy spring and summer in 2009, I am taking full advantage of every sunny day. And I am so glad that I have a job that allows me to be outside more often than not. The girls and I went to...
To Kristin, my favorite doctor…..thank you for letting me do your headshots and drag you around Downtown Hartford looking for good light and locations. I know you were apprehensive and rightly so. It is not easy to have a camera in your face. But just look at the results; definitely worth it I think! ...
Many customers will ask me why I suggest early morning or late afternoon to schedule their sessions….the reason? The light. It is just that simple. Photography is all about the light. Early morning and late afternoon light is not directly overhead and has a beautiful quality to it. Sure we can do it at noon,...
I’m so sad that I wasn’t able to come with you! Fantastic Pictures!! I LOVE BRIMFIELD and I love your story! SO TRUE!
I wish Connecticut wasn’t so far away! Brimfield looks like a feast for the eyes (and a probably drain to my wallet).
Ack. Sorry that lady was so rude to you. I don’t know why some people choose to work in a business that deals with customers all day when they don’t like people. It is especially difficult to deal with when you deal with customers in your own business. You know how you should be treated by anyone that cares halfway about a customer.
Oh it would drain your wallet Marsha, but you would have so much fun!
As for the rude lady, I have been told that the ones who are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most. Even though it’s hard, I try to keep that in mind. And it helps me to remember what I don’t want to be like 🙂
Hi,
Love your blog post! I wrote one a while back on the same thing and about that we should all work together in this business to try and promote one another. Some people dont really understand the whole blog concept still. There are alot of people such as you and I that simply love taking pictures for inspiration. People are paranoid you will steal their ideas. They need to just get over themselves! LOL. I set up In May next to Melissa. I am also in Concord in the same shop with Cary at Thoreauly Antiques. Your pics are great too! Maybe I will see you at the next Brimfield. Keep taking your pics! You can come into my booth anytime and snap away!
Cheers, and happy hunting!
Hi Keri! I totally agree; we would go so much further by helping one another.
I’m sorry I missed you this time around, but Melissa told me about you. I will be back in September and hope to see you if you’re there. I’ll pop in and say hi! And thanks for the invite to your booth. I popped over to your blog and your taste and merchandising is gorgeous!
See you soon!

to my dear old friend…
wow, you blew me away with the grandma stevenson story. i totally remember her being doted upon, and also remember many of us older kids thought she was pretty sour. you being so much younger than me, were not privy to the opinions the rest of shared in some hidden corner of the downstairs of the oak street church. 😉
on another note, i loved your brimfield photos. i’ve always felt being there was a bit like being alice in wonderland — there’s so many surprises and treasures to be found, if you’re willing to search for them. haven’t been there in years, but would love to make it to the september show. if not then, well, there’s always 2012!
remember, a good strong cup of coffee is always available just around the corner…
