We are so pleased with both the photographs and the photo session with Toby! The pictures are absolute keepsakes - Toby captured the real beauty of each of our young children - which is a true accomplishment, considering that they don't like to sit still and smile for anyone! Toby's warm, easy approach encouraged relaxed, REAL smiles and beautiful expressions from even our shy three-year-old daughter -- no other photographer (ourselves included) has been able to do this in months. The results are stunning!

Our pictures were taken in a park. The children simply played and interacted together as well as with Toby, while he captured each beautiful moment with perfection. He also took gorgeous posed pictures of our family together. As we were leaving the session, our kids asked when we could come back. To them this all felt like play! No wonder the pictures came out so natural, and so lovely. We've received compliments from everyone who's seen the pictures. We plan to come back to Toby again and again.

One day this summer I was doing a shoot for the "Chandlers," at Wickham Park in Manchester, Connecticut. If you have never been there, let's just say the grounds are gorgeous, heavily wooded in parts and full of flowers in other parts. As I was waiting in one of the cabanas while the "Chandlers" did a wardrobe change, through the woods came two people quite obviously in love. I offered to do a portrait of the them together: they accepted, I did a brief shoot with them, and these are the results:

and below is the email Danielle sent to me after she got her prints.

Hey

I got the pictures and they came out awesome. I just wanted to drop you a
little note for thanking you for the two bigger ones as well as just doing this
for us. We really appreciate it and we think they are just phenominal.
We are def. going to call you sometimes in the future. We just love them. I can't
tell you how happy we are.

Thanks again

-Danielle
