Just when I thought my gear bag was as full as it can possibly be….another necessary purchase has come up: some 3-volt Lithium batteries. Last weekend on my engagement shoot my Canon 5D’s internal battery died on me. So, every time my camera powered off, all of my custom functions were reset – including the date and time. This probably wouldn’t be the hugest deal but I have like every custom function on this thing tweaked and all of a sudden buttons weren’t doing things they were supposed to. So, this may have happened to some of you out there but a word to the wise: keep some extra 3-volts in your gear bag in case it happens to you in the field of battle. Have a good weekend!

I’m trying out a new toy for a few weeks of engagement and portrait sessions – Canon’s 24mm TS-E lens.  And Danielle got a shot of me rockin’ it during Kelly & Chris’s engagement shoot (down below).  Check out her blog for more shots from our session.  I’ll have a review after a few more weeks with it so stay tuned!

Why are Kelly & Chris the coolest couple on Earth?  Let me count the ways…. 1. they book me without even meeting me  2. they laid down in the middle of Memorial Field  3. they walked through goose poop  4. Chris’s favorite band is Gun’s n’ Roses (need I say more?)

Despite the tornado-style winds, we had an absolute blast shooting their engagement session at UConn.  Here’s a sneak peak to hold everyone over until their slideshow is finished…  thanks guys – you rocked!    

Like I said…laid down in the middle of Memorial Field…

Some parking garage action…

Reflection off a building…

Thanks again guys and stay tuned for your slideshow!
