LeChateau Marvels As Always- By Erin Kiernan
I had to take a minute to share with you this beautiful setting...I cant say enough good things about LeChateau in South Salem, NY. Not only is this old stone mansion the perfect location for a wedding, but the service is the best. Really. They treat every event as if its their own- with care and enthusiasm.
Above you can see some of the beautiful images of the flowers as well. My client raved about Adam of Neilsen's in Darien, CT. "...absolute delight to work with..he realized what a special day it was for us."

Julie's Batmitzvah 06.06.09- By Erin Kiernan
Burning Tree Country Club was the perfect place for Julies morning service and party. The setting was stunning! Julie, like her older sister the year before, was gracious, beautiful and clearly happy to be with her friends celebrating. Above are the sweetest bunch of young ladies. Look how much fun they are having on the dance floor!

"Local Eyes" Exhibit
The Show "Local Eyes: Six photographers of Fairfield County" is at the New Canaan Nature Center ( 144 Oenoke Ridge Rd NC) June 2 -July 15
An opening reception will be held June 14, from 4-6 pm at the Sturgess Room at the New Canaan Nature Center. Come and meet the photographers and their families, learn more about what they shoot, ask them questions about their work, and enjoy the camaraderie of friends.
"Seeing the Invisible"- Julie Stauffer
Our eyes see only a limited spectrum of light waves, but an infrared camera captures what we cannot see. With this camera, I capture the invisible light waves emitted especially by photosynthesizing shrubs and trees during their growing season. The result is an ethereal, mysterious and snow-like image that defies reality because everything is green but now looks otherwise.
Initially I used infrared film for these images, but when that film was discontinued, I replaced it with a dedicated digital infrared camera. The element of surprise is captivating and exciting since I never quite know how much invisible light the camera will record when I press the shutter. The light is different; the composition becomes black and white, not the colors that I am seeing.
I started shooting infrared a few years ago in a small mountain lake town in an effort to photograph the scenery from a different perspective. The process has continued to fascinate me so that I carry an infrared camera with me to all professional jobs and personal projects. The images in this current show were taken in 2008 near Charleston, NC, and Savannah, GA. The foliage was abundant, the ruins fascinating, the cypress swamp eerie and exquisite. The large oak tree is on the NC Nature Center property.
“Vernal Flowering” Spring 2009 - Elyse Shapiro
I’ve always been fascinated by the differences between how the camera and the eye “see”.
In this series “Vernal Flowering” the lenses unique monoscopic vision, as well as the abbreviated tonal range act to flatten space, creating a scene not quite the way we saw it…but perhaps the way we remember it.

Haley's Bat Mitzvah-by Erin Kiernan
Since a photographer is rarely permitted to photograph
a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah service, I was thrilled to be able to cover Haley's. She was magnificent. She sang like an angel and smiled through out! Beautifully done Haley.
Haley has a sweet moment at the end with her Rabbi and Cantor.
The newly renovated Surf Club in New Rochelle looked beautiful
before Haley's guests were invited in for the fun.

Greece- By Erin Kiernan
Baptism's in Greece are as big as weddings! What fun to be
part of such a wonderful celebration. Here the Godparents
calm the young boy after he was drenched in olive oil.
The Cats of Greece are not hard to come by in the springtime.
I was so grateful to have the opportunity to photograph these shy but very sweet nuns of the
Mistras Monestary near Sparta, Greece. One of the few nuns left living in this ancient monestary, we felt honored to have coffee and sweets in there living area while they laughed and told stories of the years past. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
