CTPhotoJourney in Elizabeth Park

by Kim Bova on June 29, 2009

The roses were glorious, and the sun did shine.  We could not have asked for a more perfect time.

There were just a few of us but that did not dampen our spirits!  Not only did we photograph roses and the people in the garden, but there was a family of young mallards that had us captivated.  They must have been only a few days old!  I don’t know his name, but this man was playing the recorder so beautifully!

Here is a shot that John took of me and Peter under the rose arches.

The water was very merky, but they were safe and happy.

Thanks John and Peter for a great CTPhotoJourney in the park!  Since I only had two people join me, I was able to tailor it to their interests and needs.

Stay tuned for the next photo adventure and learning experience!

Meet Sarah Masterson.  She is a beautiful and talented graduate student of piano performance at the University of Connecticut.

She recently came to me for her professional portrait.  Here is one of my favorites as she sat at the piano.  Good thing I have one in my studio!

Class Photo

by Kim Bova on June 3, 2009

The Stonington Borough PhotoJourney was a great success!  We spent the afternoon and evening exploring light, composition and finding the beauty in interesting details in this enchanting town.  I am so proud of all my students as I could see how much they grew over the course of the afternoon.  Everyone had questions and concerns when we started but by the time sunset was upon us, it seemed as if everyone was sailing well on their own.   Some students had to learn some hard lessons when battery power died, but I have to say that when one student got down on the ground to get the angle she was looking for, my heart jumped for joy!  She was seeing in new ways!  Good work, everyone.  Hope to see you all on another PhotoJourney soon!

121Thank you Jean Molodetz for taking this photo of us!  From L to R is Roxanne, Olivia, Bob, Meg, Allan, me and Gina.

We were relaxing on the sea wall before heading off to dinner at Noah’s Restaurant.  Great food!  Go check it out!

Elegant Weddings in Connecticut

by Kim Bova on May 8, 2009

I noticed that brides are still loving the elegant, slightly deco style weddings in older halls like the Bond Ballroom in Hartford.
What are some of your dream venues? Is it the Bond, the beach or somewhere else? Please share.

The Man and the Molecule

by Kim Bova on May 4, 2009

JimKnox

I love making my portraits unique and one of a kind.  Every individual who walks into my studio is unique and I feel it is my job to learn something about my clients that is special in order to make their portrait reflect who they are.

Jim Knox, Professor Emeritus, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut Storrs, is one individual who came to me recently for a portrait/headshot.  He discovered a molecule.  That is what you see in the background of his portrait.  I think the molecule is beautiful.  It is my understanding that it is the molecule that is resistant to penicillin.  I took a photograph of the image that he made of his molecule and used it as a background.   I don’t know about you, but I have never met anyone who has a molecule named after them!  Anyway, it it very important and impressive work that he is doing.

If you are interesting in Jim’s work, here is a link to his UConn website.  http://www.mcb.uconn.edu/fac.php?name=knoxj
