• PUBLISHED :: Florist's Review March 2010.

My friend Dawn Kelly at Soiree Floral won the annual "Picture Perfect Wedding" in Florist's Review Magazine! Very well deserved, too. She did a phenomenal job with Christine and Mark's Nantucket wedding this past October. It was a treat to photograph. Congrats Dawn!

• PUBLISHED :: Well Wed, Spring/Summer 2010.

A few months ago, a handful of talented Nantucket wedding professionals gathered together at the Jared Coffin House to set up a delicious photo shoot for my favorite wedding periodical, Well Wed Magazine. Lisa Frey of Nantucket Event Media was on hand to grab some video of us doing what we do best. Here's Lisa's video, featuring Jennifer Shepherd (Placesetters), Dawn Kelly (Soiree Floral), Kim Reed (A Taste of Nantucket), Jodi Levesque (Jodi's Cakes), and myself, with stationary by Marty Kelly Paper and styling help by the Well Wed staff Caroline and Krista.

I just received my copies of the Spring/Summer 2010 issue and I'm in love. Truly. The sorbet inspired editorial as well as Julie and Will's wedding look fabulous. Be sure to pick one up for yourself!

Enjoy!

• Nantucket Summer Internship Available.

Are you looking for a summer internship on Nantucket??

Wedding season is right around the corner. With over 20 weddings and 40 portrait sessions a year, I'm a bit busy.

I need someone with the following qualifications:

• strong mac computer skills

• strong knowledge in Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom

• excellent organization

This position is available May-October, but I need Memorial Day-Labor Day at the very least. Flexible, 15-20 hours a week. Responsibilities include RAW processing, file organization and backup from my Main St office.

If you are also an aspiring photographer, tagging along on portrait sessions is a possibility. This opportunity is perfect for a photography student looking for experience in the field while still having time for fun on the island.

Please contact me at zofia@zofiaphoto.com with your bio for more information!

Thanks!

• I Love Music.

Though this blog is intended to showcase my recent work to my past, present, future clients, as well as other photographers/vendors (and my mom)... I've been thinking it needs a bit more personality. You've all guessed that I have a darling little pixie named Ava. She may be considered a bit of a mascot for Zofia Photography. Yes, you all know that. But I'm not just a photographer and a mom. I forget that sometimes. I love to travel. I've shown some of that here. Recently, even. I love other things too and I'll be sure to post about those here from time to time.

So, since it's the dead of winter, I've been on iTunes and youtube all morning. Well, everyday, to be honest. I'm looking for new music and finding TONS through Pandora.com too.

If this isn't your cup 'o tea, post what you're into.

So, I've started with Phoenix, Arcade Fire, and MGMT as the base. Here's what I love that rocks my ears off.

• Miike Snow (awesome on their own, but also GREAT remixes like this one)
• Ra Ra Riot (where have they been all my life?! so talented.)
• Peter Bjorn and John (you might know Young Folks, but they get better)
• Metric (I'm obsessed, and they're fabulous live and acoustic)
• Walter Meego (dare you not to dance)
• the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack, Karen O (never even saw the movie, but I love KO's voice, you'll cry)
• Oren Lavie (you've seen this video, don't watch while depressed, watch Walter Meego instead)
• Silversun Pickups (you loved Smashing Pumpkins you totally did, you'll love them)
• OH! And if you have a youngster, or are one you'll LOVE Alphabutt, that should make up for all the depressing stuff.

Some randomness that I love :
Bowie and Moby doing The Pixies.

Enjoy!

• New Toys = Fun.

I get the itch to shoot in the winter, but I always have 101 excuses not to. Mainly "It's cold and I'm busy and it's grey outside". So I started playing around with my iPhone and Diana Instax. Might just order some old school Polaroid film and bust that out too. My poor D3 is just collecting dust until the season starts back up, or until it snows, or until my next travels...

Shake It app for iPhone (soon as I find those little Instax pics I'll scan those too) :

Enjoy!

• Travel Faves, 2009.

A collection of travel faves from 2009. This year I've had the opportunity to travel for work, play and family. Stepping out of my element and off the island is pretty inspiring, but it's always nice to come home.

Costa Rica in May.
