They had to kick me out
November 10th, 2008
Okay, that’s an exaggeration. It was more of a nudge than a kick. Seriously, if this family wasn’t so warm, welcoming and nice they would have kicked me out! I could have easily stayed all afternoon. As you can see the kids are so photogenic even their sweet personalities came through in the photographs. Getting to know these two beautiful children and their parents was a treat. It’s kids and families like this that made me come back from hiatus. Hey K family, don’t be surprised if I stop by for some more Milano cookies and coffee soon!

Sneak Preview for Baby E’s Family
October 5th, 2008
Here’s a sneak preview for Sweet Baby E’s family. I knew it was going to be a great session when I walked in and there just so happened to be a 4 foot tall piece of white styrofoam in the formal living room. I loved every shot and every minute of this session. Baby E was a photographer’s dream, beautiful, sleepy and patient with her photographer.

September 25th, 2008
Erin Vey leaves me wishing that my most compelling story about Bogart was not about eating my intimates. Bark!, the blog written by friend and fellow photographer Erin, has announced a new contest. She’s offering a complimentary photography session, session album and custom mounted enlargement to the winner. I know, she’s in Seattle, right? That’s so far to travel with Fido! Well, Erin is willing to travel anywhere in the United States to photograph the winner. Are you dogless? You can nominate someone too. Check out the contest details and her stunning work on the Bark! contest page.

Sunsets on Summer
September 6th, 2008
As the sun set on Labor Day, I started to morn the end of summer. Soon flip flops will be replaced with snow boots, popsicles with hot cocoa and swim goggles with ski goggles. Yes! I love mourning the end of summer because it means winter is around the corner. I can’t wait to swoosh down the slopes again. Best of all in nestled between summer and winter is fall. I feel so fortunate to live in an area that has four seasons.
Right now I’m in the process of updating my children’s photography website. Thank you for your patience during it’s reconstruction. I’ve spent my hiatus collecting new ideas, unique products and tons inspiration. I can’t wait to share them all with you!
Stepping Over To The Heart Gallery
September 1st, 2008
Well, I didn’t exactly stop working during my hiatus. I did work with a handful of clients. I also did something really special. I photographed some children for the Connecticut Department of Children and Families Heart Gallery.
I am humbled and honored by my experience donating photographs to the gallery. The people that I met during my sessions are nothing less than amazing. Not only are the children looking for permanent homes cool, but the state employees that have devoted their lives to these kids are too. I feel so fortunate to be selected to be a Heart Gallery photographer. I’m looking forward to donating more time and photographs again.
Would you like to see the Heart Gallery in person? Take the kids down to the Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk, CT. The Gallery is on display there right now and runs until October 20, 2008. The gallery is located in the hallway that leads to the Toddler Terrain and runs parallel with Waterscape. Speaking of waterscape, be sure to check it out, I heard a rumor that it’s changing! Don’t worry, I’m told the new exhibit is just as much fun and it still will include water.
Hello Again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!!
Can you believe this blog is a year old already? Where does the time go?
Wow, what a busy season it has been! All those referrals are keeping my phone ringing and calendar full. THank you! I’ll never neglect my clients, but I will neglect my blog. That’s why you haven’t heard from me in a while. My clients come first.
Your emails have been amazing. I had no idea so many people read this blog! As a result, I’m now feeling tremendous pressure to be witty and entertaining and am fearful of falling short. In fact, I’ve put so much pressure on myself to come up with a fantastic blog post, that for the longest time, I couldn’t think of anything.
Celebrating this blogs First Birthday should involve a present, right? I’m having a tough time coming up with a witty and entertaining blog post, right? ::lightbulb illuminates over head:: Why not give away a birthday present to the person who can come up with a witty and entertaining blog post for me?
Yep, that’s right. Write my next blog entry and get a birthday present!
What kind of present?
The new, adorable, portable iPod Shuffle? I want one!
Here’re the nitty gritty details:
Who: You (you can be anyone who is reading this and can type a witty and entertaining blog entry)
What: A BRAND-E NEW Apple iPod Shuffle (love it!) shipped to you
Where: http://www.hadleyspagna.blogspot.com
When: Your blog post must be sent to me by 12/10/06. (Entries with photos get bonus points) It will be uploaded to my blog in December of 2006. The present receiver will be notified by 12/15/06.
Why: I’m not feeling witty and entertaining right now.
How: Send me your post via email
Do you have any questions? Send me an email.

Did you notice those adorable children at the top of this post? This family is so warm and welcoming. Somehow, (osmosis?) their home has the same qualities. As soon as I entered their home, I immediately felt like I had been there before. M felt like an old friend instantly. I could have stayed all day with this family (in fact, come to think about it, I did stay for snack time). Thank you dear M, for such a wonderful session!
