Last Monday I was taking photographs above ground at Mike Colon’s Underground NYC workshop. Mike is such a generous teacher. It was fun to see him work and to shoot along side of him. Helping Mike out that day was the very talented and also generous Ray Santana. I had so much fun playing with Ray’s ability to determine with perfect accuracy the Kelvin temperature of the different locations we were shooting.

Who is this gorgeous model? Jessica Minhas. What is she wearing? A $12,000 Ines Di Santo dress. How much fun was it working with a gorgeous model in a beautiful dress? A blast!

I’m not kidding, working with Jessica was a true pleasure. She was professional and kept her calm with 11 photographers vying for her attention and 11,000 New Yorkers & tourists asking who she was and wanting their own photographs of her! (I have a feeling it was more tourists than New Yorkers) You might think being a beautiful model and actress is enough to keep Jessica busy. Nope. Not for Jessica. She is one of the founders of The Blind Project. The Blind Project’s focus is to empower women of the women of Southeast Asia that have been rescued from the commercial sex trade. Very cool!

Here are some more photographs I took of Jessica above ground at the Underground:

The shot of this adorable little guy peeking over the edge of his crib is a perfect photograph to use for my peek at Holiday Deadlines and Hours post. At 7 months he is at one of my favorite ages to photograph. So, I was already looking forward to this shoot. When I walked I was so happy to see this beautiful, happy, bright-eyed boy. A photographer’s dream!

Before I get into the deadlines, I have to say this was such a fun session. It’s filled with images that I love! When I spoke with Charlie’s mom, she was so down to earth, really cool, and had no expectations for the shoot. That’s always when I get my favorite images. Not only is this a shot of baby Charlie peeking over the top of his crib that I’m using as a peek at my holiday hours and deadlines but it’s also a sneak peek for Charlie’s family. A triple peek! They’ll see the rest next week, I can’t wait!

So in honor of Baby C, here’s a peek at my holiday hours and deadlines:

My calendar for 2009 is closed. I hope that my referrals worked out for everyone that wasn’t able to book a session with me. For those of you who wanted a session and were unable to book one you can book your 2010 session with me at 2009 prices.

If you have a newborn it’s possible I may be able to help you out. Contact me asap to see if I can squeeze you in.

I will have limited access to my phone and emails from April 13-23. The best way to contact me during that time will be via email.

Also, my calendar is starting to fill up. Now is a good time to book your summer sessions while I still have some flexibility.

It looks like the email issues I had earlier this year are resolved. But, I don’t really know that unless someone calls to ask why I didn’t respond to their email. So, if you sent an email and I didn’t respond give me a call.

My next blog entry will reveal the details of the new changes here at Hadley Spagna Photography! I can’t wait to dish!

If you are expecting a baby, have a newborn or would like to add your name to the wait list, contact me at 203.767.2789 or email me.

Weekend appointments are all booked and there are a limited amount of weekday appointments for the rest of this year.  If you have a newborn, a baby less than 1 week of age,  contact me as soon as possible and I will make every effort to accommodate you.

This time of year is the peak of my busy season, so as things start to settle down I will be posting some recent sessions and maybe even a sneak peek or two.
