This year will be my third year going to Vegas for the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographer's International) Convention. While I am very excited to go (despite the fact that I am not a Vegas kind of gal) I am determined to make the most of my trip.So, what exactly do I do?Well I am BEYOND excited to be a part of the fundraising efforts of the well known charity, Thirst Relief, for this year!

Yesterday Mike and I braved the cold with our awesome October 2009 clients Marissa and Mr. Michael Pratt- them more so than us- we were bundled up like the kid in a Christmas Story! We had the brilliant idea of having a fire pit to go back to and warm up in between shots...thanks for setting that up!!There is a waterfall on the property we were shooting at and it made for quite the cool back

I get asked a lot of I shoot family sessions- and while the answer is yes, I have to say that I really try hard not to approach them in any kind of traditional way. You know, like the old school Olan Mills way. And no, I m not trying to hate on Olan Mills at ALL- I have a picture of MY family when we were growing up that was taken in Olan Mills' studio... and I love it!So my good friend and

This week has been a rough one, not only for me but for my dear, dear Hartford. The saddest part for me isn't so much what I know that I lost, it's all of the people that don't know- who didn't realize what a champion of Hartford we lost this week... Mayor Mike was much more than a former firefighter; he was much more than a father, a husband, a son, a friend. And he was WAY much more than just

While blogger stutters around with their foot up their grass I bring to you a recap of a personal photo project that my girl Jaime O did this year called 366 images. She posted one picture a day during all of last year and this is the result. It's freaking great!I make an appearance near the end. Well, my feet do!366 Images from Jaime Oppenheimer on Vimeo.

Hi! Let me introduce myself! I am a BROKEN freaking RECORD!! Know why? BECAUSE JUST WHEN I THINK IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER...IT DOES!!!ok, pause, rewind. So yesterday's class was, well, yesterday! On the first Tuesday of the month, as always, right? Let me start by saying that there was nothing normal about this class for a few reasons:-it was ALL beginners! And I was SCARED!! I can talk trash

It is with such a heavy heart that I sit here and think of everything that the Peters family is going to miss about Mayor Mike. Though he fought valiantly, he lost his battle tonight.He was one of the funniest people I have ever met- he had the quickest wit, and the most booming, contagious laugh. He did so many positive things for Hartford, and quickly became its biggest cheerleader and

I am sad to see it go... it was a great year- but I am even more excited to ring in 2009...I am working on a recap of the year- there are so many things to celebrate both personally and professionally.... but I'll just touch on two of my professional favorites... one being the addition of my new team mate, Mr. Mike Romano!

Once we got downstairs.... the kids checked the note and the milk and cookies to see if Santa had fueled up at his stop at our place... and he HAD! Not only that, but he wrote a thank you note... a testament to his stellar manners :) He even neglected to mention that the cookies Dave and I left him were absolutely AWFUL- not my fault!! Dave is always trying new organic and 'healthy' recipes for

The snow outside here in Connecticut is nothing short of beautiful & amazing- my family, and this includes my husband Dave- are all in their glory this weekend with it!!

Last night I got together with some close lady friends- Ralph Mouth aka Miss Robin Dini, the vocal GPS imitating stylings of Miss Eileen Broderick, and the super incognito Miss Julia of Salty Grapes fame- to shoot at Meriden's Hubbard Park with all of the fancy schmancy holiday lights. I haven't laughed so hard in a long long time, I swear!Here are a few of my favorites- and all were shot by

On Friday Mike and I took a trip to Boston with our June 12 couple, Chelsea and Chris for their chilly but FUN engagement shoot. They were so easy to be with, fun, and talkative- that the day just flew by! We walked all over Boston even back to places that I had shot BM (before Mike) and PM (post Mike). All you health care professionals like the BM reference, admit it. So I clumsily tripped all

I'm not sure exactly why the cold weather and the holidays seem to bring about the whole 'Let's watch the same movie over and over again' thing.... maybe it's snuggling in with your significant other and re-living the funny moments again and again? Dave and I had our date night last night and watched one of my all time favorite movies, Love Actually. Just everything about it makes me feel good-

I feel like I am FREAKING OUT over here! For so many reasons! First, I love Christmas. I do. I love giving and planning surprises and decorating and Yankee Candles and Christmas Trees (I love them enough to capitalize them!!) And Holiday music! So I have ALL of them going right now in my studio! My Christmas Wreath Yankee candle is ablaze; Nat King Cole is singing away, I have my fuzzy orange

Ever hear of Trash the Dress? Well DUH, right? Who hasn't?Well the folks that came up with that site and idea have created another two sites called Modern Photographers where they have created a network of, well, Modern Photographers that think outside of the norm. It's a great place for brides to find photographers that are non-traditional and more artistic and I am honored to be a founding

This last Ten Eyck Tuesday was so much fun. Almost too much fun- for a myriad of reasons- The attendees were all so funny - let's start with Bruce Thivierge. OK, let's not. I don't think that I could do this man's humor justice on my blog. He is just funny, witty, full of one liners. My belly hurts, I feel like I did sit-ups all day! So I can only hang out with him every other day to give my body

Yeah, you heard me right! TEN EYCK times TWO! See, Mr. Daniel is my brother in law, aka Mr. Dan Ten Eyck. I have known Dan for going on about 11 years and have seen him grow and change into quite the hilarious young man. Dan is about 8 years younger than my husband Dave, so it's been fun re-living some things vicariously through Dan- but I won't divulge what, exactly! So when Dan met Beth- well,

So OK, here is my last, and FINAL wedding for 2008- but as a second shooter for the lovely and genteel Mrs. Amanda Harris Herzberger of Orchard Cove Photography fame! Amanda and I started out our seasons together, ironically enough- back in February I guest shot with her at The Hartford Club on a snowy winter day and came full circle to end my season with her in November at the Woodwinds in

I have the honor of being involved in a photography show that my girl, Miss Nikki Nicole had thought up and organized over a year ago- and now she is seeing the fruits of her labor, so to speak, on FRIDAY DECEMBER 5TH! Nine women photographers from Connecticut and Mass will be showing their interpretations of love in the exhibit. This should be interesting because I believe we all photograph

OK, OK!! This was SUCH a HARD decision to make, there was such an overwhelmingly amazing response!!! So much so that I am offering a SECOND Ten Eyck Tuesday on December 16th for the first four people (from the list of people waiting to hear that I currently already have on file) who can email me what I cooked at the November Ten Eyck Tuesday!!!email me at: carla@carlateneyck.com THE CONTEST IS

Ten Eyck Tuesdays have been such a ray of light for me in so many ways- I love the chance to change things up and teach; I love cooking for everyone!!....and I really enjoy seeing everyone start to see and think and then shoot differently. That's my favorite.For December I am going to change it up a bit- for a host of reasons-and want to offer this workshop at a discounted rate- did YOU get the

A few weeks ago Mike and I photographed Malena for her CD art! Malena is an up and coming singer songwriter based in CT who is destined for big things.Keep an ear out for her and her incredible talents....! A big shout out goes to Dana Bartone for her mad makeup and styling skills! Malena brought some balloons to add some color to our shoot- I think they really worked out well.Check out Malena's

Well... not really!!! This past workshop we had the absolute pleasure of shooting my buddy Val McCormick and her husband Jack, who is a real life train engineer! In my house that is like celebrity status to my little guy Jack, who is a super train stalker enthusiast to say the least!

To say I am sad is an understatement! For several reasons- The Goodwin Hotel is a Hartford landmark, it is a beautiful architectural treasure and it is steeped in Hartford history and tradition. It's where all the ro0ck stars go to sleep when they come for a concert at the Civic Center for crying out loud! There's the secret tunnel they get to go through so they don't get mobbed that links direct

REMEMBER TO GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! Let your voice be heard! TEN EYCK TUESDAY is TOMORROW!!! I am super psyched for this, we have some really awesome models and some more really great information to think about and apply to our everyday shooting, so I'm really excited to get into that with my peeps for tomorrow.I feel like I have had a case of the distraction-jackson-butterflies like CRAZY lately!

well....not really pick on mike day so much as just post about this one shoot in particular where he was cracking me UP with his shooting craziness....we are always trying to shoot each other while we shoot and get really unflattering pictures of each other, he wins hands down, but it's still fun to see what we do while we shoot!take this shot for example!

This morning I found out from some friends that I had placed 8th in the Bridal Party category of the WPJA's (wedding photojournalists association) Brides.com photo competition! Their contests are worldwide, and pretty competitive, for me at least! ;)I was a little worried because I didn't actually remember entering, it was quite a while back... so I almost thought they were joking!But they were

Last Saturday Mike and I photographed Mallory & Chris' wedding at the Trumbull Congregational Church and the Great River Country Club in Milford. I just love shooting there- the are SO wonderful to work with! We had a special guest shooter, my good friend Miss Nikki Nicole come along and shoot with the day- and we had a BLAST!!Mallory's bridesmaid Serena had us all cracking up here, I won't tell

Georgie spelled J-A-C-K-S-O-N yesterday morning! And Jack, well he is just such an emotionally intuitive little guy, he is so in tune to my moods and emotional state and knows just when to tell me he loves me or

One of my favorite things about engagement shoots is how incredibly different they can be- even when you go to some of the exact same places as other couples! Stephanie and Jason were so excited to take Mike and I on a walk through Boston for their engagement shoot- and so we met up by the Boston Public Library, one of the most beautiful libraries I have been in! Not to mention that it gave us a

Meet Erica and Paul. When I first met them I found out little things here and there about their lives that just had me going NUTS in my brain- all I could think about were the shooting possibilities! I'd nod my head, listen, and then brazenly interrupt them with a kind of a yell thing 'OH MY GOD I WOULD LOVE TO SHOOT THIS!!'....it was borderline inappropriate and I am sure their nerves were shot

Last Friday Mike and I met up with our 2009 clients Cari and Steve at Sharpe Hill Vineyard in Pomfret CT. Now I had heard about this place as it is a personal favorite of a good, wine-guzzling friend who shall remain nameless ;) but she really didn't let me know how freaking BEAUTIFUL this place is!! WOW- as soon as we pulled up and saw the 'civil war style' fence, as Mike so aptly named it, and

That dang Robin Dini! She tagged me like, five days ago and I am just getting around to this. I wonder what the point of this is though- to see what kinds of books you have near you? So you can judge me on the smut that I read? Or be all shocked when I whip out like a camera manual or something? Or a 'How to Speak Mandarin in Minutes' book? Here's how it works:- Grab the nearest book.- Open to

Now I know I live with my head in the sand and don't watch the news or read the paper all that much, it just depresses me too much! But this morning's front page article really got me- GAY MARRIAGE IS LEGAL IN CT!

And a big thanks to Mother Nature for keeping us on our toes!When I first met Ali, we sat and chatted for over two hours, she was almost late to work!

So all day today I am wearing these hot little red heels that I just got at Target, which look amazingly like my very own Barbie shoes!! I have to say I

On Saturday Mike and I shot Lauren and Jamie's wedding at Harkness Park in Waterford, which is such a great place to shoot- it's easily one of my favorites. We had the best weather, clear blue skies and no humidity and everyone was in high spirits for the wedding.I got a little bit of a taste of my own medicine for part of the day... I had the Fantastic Face First Films aka Jeff Reilly with Bob

Today makes nine long and happy years of wedded bliss to my incredible husband, Dave. So in honor of being married to one of the world's nicest guys (I am not the only one who thinks so, I think it is his unofficial title out in the world!) I have decided to list of NINE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY HUSBAND: (in no particular order, of course)1) HIS UNWAVERING SUPPORT OF ME AND MY CAREER. From when we

While in Sonoma I was lucky enough to be able to see my cousin Steph and her super gangly boyfriend Greg. They came up to visit Amanda and I are we went out to a vineyard, Gloria Ferrer (who's specialty is sparking wine) had some vino and then ventured around Sonoma to shoot. We didn't time our vineyard shoot all that well and didn't have access to the actual fields like I had orignally wanted...

The art director we are working with is so much fun so this hardly feels like work at all.... Which is a good thing!I'll be back on the east coast soon enough which I can't wait for, I miss my monkeys like crazy!!!!

The first leg of my journey to the center of the earth started in Seattle and then moved me and Steve to Cypress Island, a place I had only heard from through my good friend Gus. Gus and I went to RIT what seems like eons ago, back in the early 90's when flannel shirts and Nirvana were in their glory. We were actually in our very first photo intensive class, creatively called Photo 1, for the

Pike st market was one of my all time favorites...These tomatoes were so colorful I just wanted to jam them all in my mouthThe fresh flowers alone had me in full freak out mode!!!! They had dahliahs the size of your head; zinnias like crazy just all overThis bouquet was only TEN FREAKING DOLLARS!!! I have to say the women

So last night just wasn't enough for me... I had to go back before my trip and shoot more of Mike and Aiden for Kim! Shooting in the beautiful morning light was just heaven, and I am really happy with what we got- I only had about 15 minutes before I had to leave for the airport but with all of the delays I am having (BOO) I have been able to work these up and get them online for them!This one

This evening I had the honor or meeting the newest member of the Romano family, little Aiden Michael! Believe me when I tell you that to be in the first wave of ANY new baby visiting is an honor! I spit out two and I was on lock down, tired, crazy and a new Mom! So to be welcomed over by Mike and Kim just really made me feel pretty special and honored.Most of you photographer parents know the

As many of you know- my boy Mike is expecting the arrival of his little guy this coming Wednesday... and all of us couldn't be more excited for him and Kim!! Now, I LOVE surprises.... and I especially love surprising the self proclaimed unsurpriseable- not to mention that it's just fun to do something nice for someone...! So it was inevitable that I do something for my buddy as he is about to

...well, not MY super sweet sixteen! Sunday brought the third super intense day of shooting this past weekend for Mike and I. Kiva Sutton asked us to second shoot this 'super sweet' gig with him, and of course we had to say yes!This party was completely over the top- and a lot of fun as well! I really enjoyed the behind the scenes stuff we got to shoot as MTV was there as well shooting this for

Saturday brought part two of our wedding adventures with our clients turned friends Liz & Pepsi. We had the most beautiful day for the outdoor ceremony on the grounds of St. Clement's Castle. We started the day back at the Inn at Middletown, where we were the night before shooting their traditional Laotian Ceremony. While the girls got their hair and make up done by the very talented and super

Well.... so THIS is what it feels like....! Am I an empty- nester? I feel like I have been chasing my tail around for the past two hours, like, 'OH! I have sooooo much free time to work and get stuff DONE! Now, what did I need to do again? Wait! Pay bills! OK, wait! no. I'm thirsty! Get some water! ok, no. no. wait.

So Friday started with Liz getting prepped for her traditional Laotion wedding ceremony- where everything was new for her (and me and Mike, and honestly most of her family as well) It was incredibly interesting for me to see what everything symbolized and how everything meant something.One of the things I loved the most was the color- there was so much of it and it was just beautiful.Part of

Last night Mike and I shot the first of two weddings for Liz and Pepsi- yesterday's was a traditional Laotion wedding ceremony and it was so beautiful, moving and intense! Not only for the ceremony and what it stood for but visually it was just a feast for my eyes.... I am about to leave for their second wedding at St. Clement's Castle and can't wait to see what today yields!!More details on

A little while back Mike and I shot Bob 2.0 and the lovely Mrs. 2.0 (aka Jen) in some farm country n stuff! Well I made a little slide show for the 2.0's- to a song that I think is only fitting since they are true high school sweethearts!!AWWWWW, right????Trying to think of that perfect gift for your honey??

I shot at the old G Fox Building now called the Gershon Fox Room last night for the first time and I LOVED it! One of the reasons is my old Hartford pride... I am a Hartford gal through and through and SO super proud of all of the good things that my little Hartford has going for it! And THIS is most certainly one of them! This room is just full of art deco splendor and the interior design of the
