Connecticut, USA

I took a weekend trip out to Connecticut a week ago to meet up with a few of my longtime girly friends. We all grew up together in Houston and even went to college together. A year ago, we all lived in Texas, but Emily moved to Connecticut, so Natalie and I went out to visit. I was bummed that it wasn't a few weeks later to get the beautiful New England Fall Foliage, so my request was to go to places that I could photograph. Then it poured rain on the one big day that was our "scenic tour." Here is a lighthouse amidst the fog.

The day before we had a bright blue sky, but the day we went to the lighthouse it was grey and murky:(

Natalie yelled to pull the car over to capture the hydrangeas. I figured I should snap a few shots as well. These flowers remind me of her (even before this event).



The lovely homes around the lighthouse. Just like a scene out of a movie.

We even ate at Mystic Pizza in the quaint little town of Mystic, CT. (Do you know the movie with Julia Roberts?) Mmmm, delicious!

Here is my play on "Lifestyle Portraiture" with Emily and her adorable girls. Just one of dad here...we planned to do a family photo shoot, but her husband had to work unexpectedly on the morning we planned to do it, and it poured buckets of rain the rest of the day. Oh well.....





Me taking a picture of our "welcome" gifts Emily made Natalie and I.

A lovely ice cream shop where the cream comes straight from the Cows out back, the eggs from the chickens, too.
