reStore: Seamus Painting
For the past month we’ve been busy getting our new studio ready in West Hartford Center. I wanted to do a personal photo project on the fixing-up process, so being a people photographer I decided to focus on the people who helped bring it all about. I’m a big fan of small business so I am thrilled that everyone has been so open to being photographed. Here’s installment #1 of my reStore project: Seamus.
His name is Paul but his company is Seamus Painting. Actually his middle name is Seamus and that’s what his family calls him…besides, as he says, Paul’s Painting just doesn’t have the ring that Seamus Painting has. Paul’s an upbeat, personable guy who’s dad to three boys and lives in West Hartford. He coaches basketball and baseball, the latter with the West Hartford Little League–where he’s also helped to create the Miracle League baseball field on Trout Brook Drive–the first such field for special needs kids in New England.
Seamus Painting provides power-washing and interior and exterior painting….and his crew did a great job on our studio! You can reach Paul / Seamus at 860.965.1362 or [email protected]. Thanks Paul for a fun shoot!

Creating a West Hartford Photography Storefront: The “Before” Pics
We wanted to chronicle the build-out of the studio, but not really by shooting pictures of the space alone in every stage. Instead, we wanted to photograph the people that go into transforming the space. Having moved from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial one, we are both huge fans of small business…so we’re thrilled that everyone we’ve asked so far has agreed to be part of my (Jane) “reStore” personal project where I photograph all the people who are involved in helping us make this place a reality! That said, we thought it would still be a good idea to show a “before” and stay tuned for some close-ups of the fun people we get to work with!
