What was just an idea last fall is now an almost-ready working studio in West Hartford Center. We are so excited to open our doors in a few weeks and hope you can join us to celebrate during our Open House on Sunday, May 19th 2:00 – 5:00. Kids are more than welcome and can have fun with our Polaroid photo booth! Hope to see you there!
Really enjoyed photographing our friend Lauren’s mom’s surprise birthday party. From the beautiful speeches and loving slideshow you could tell what an impact Marie has had on her family and friends.
We’ve worked with Lauren–who runs Bellafare boutique event planning with her friend Kristin–on a number of events, every one meticulously planned and beautifully designed–including this soiree held at the New Britain Museum of American Art (a favorite of our family’s) with floral decor by Dragonfly Events. So nice to meet Lauren’s husband and family…thank you Lauren for including us at such a special, intimate event. Here are some photos from the night..click here to see some more.
You know your business is real when the sign goes up. Until that moment passers-by didn’t stop and talk with us, but when Clyde Grindal from Falcon Sign and Awning in East Granby CT installed our IRIS Photography sign on our 10 LaSalle Rd store in February…we met several of our neighbors on the sidewalk.
In our build-out we wanted to open up the front of the store. So we took the awning off the front window and it was like lifting your visor. And we wanted the sign to work with the brick facade, not cover it up. Clyde came up with a perfect solution with the white lettering and lattice work that blends into the rust-colored brick.
Clyde’s been in the sign biz for 18 years and in his off-time he likes to run and hike on trails in the Granby area and beyond. If you’re looking for signage or awnings, visit Falcon Sign. Thanks Clyde!
I always assumed the 1960s group The Rascals–with their hits “Good Lovin’”, “Groovin’” and “A Beautiful Morning”–were part of the British Invasion. But no…they’re Jersey Boys, and a young Steven Van Zandt (along with his buddy Bruce Springsteen) saw the Rascals as his first concert back in the 1960s. Van Zandt always admired the band and 43 years later he got the boys back together, directing and producing the short run show at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway.
A few weeks back I was in NYC to photograph The Rascals press day for Getty Images’ FilmMagic and I just saw that Rolling Stone used my image in their article. If you or your parents are Rascals fans, here’s the show site for tickets and info.
On a bright but chilly early spring day we met Hillary and Zane at their apartment on the Upper East Side ahead of their June wedding in Watch Hill. Love their expressive photos…and really nice to spend some time together before their wedding! Happy engagement Hillary and Zane…see you soon in Rhode Island! To view more pics click here…
A HUGE Congratulations to the UConn Women’s Basketball team for winning the National Championship! A fantastic team effort….hats off to Geno, Chris and the whole team!! Come join the parade and celebration tomorrow, Sunday April 14th with their parade starting at the State Capitol in Hartford at 4pm.

Spring is finally here..and it’s time to play ball! The New York Mets won their opener again…and we can now show our locker room-studio portraits we took of the Mets at Spring Training in Port St. Lucie FL back in February. This is the fifth season we’ve photographed the Mets for SportsNet NY (SNY) and as always it’s a pleasure working with our client, Julie.
From game face to grins, these guys are always great to photograph…that’s Connecticut’s own Matt Harvey just below David Wright. Lots of changes in a rebuilding year….so…..Let’s Go Mets!!
We are Mike and Jane from IRIS Photography. We photograph weddings, portraits, advertising and editorial work and are based in West Hartford, Connecticut. We strive to capture our clients' personalities in true and beautiful ways. Thanks for visiting!
