May is Sun Safety Month!

Our partner, Kspin Designs is making big news in the fashion industry, and we're a big part of that news. 

In a recent media blitz, Patrick Reading, Photography has been featured on news and media throughout the New England and New York region. WTNH Connecticut Style magazine, CakeMom, and now Momtrends.com all feature our photos with Kerry's work!

Some of our faves:

All of this media attention isn't just for fashion and photography. May is Melanoma Awareness Month, and as a Melanoma survivor, Kerry is determined to help children and youth take care of themselves and prevent this terrible, preventable disease. Through her non-profit organization, PrettyPale.org Kerry and Kspin advocate for sunless beauty in children, teens and adults. 


Make this year your year to stay sun smart and sun safe!

Giving Back

A good friend and client, Kerry Spindler of KSpin Designs, wanted to give back to something that gave her everything. You can read her story here: www.prettypale.com . After our fabulous shoot last February, we knew we had to do something to not only top it, but continue to raise awareness of the preventable and deadly form of cancer, called Melanoma, or skin cancer.

So, in conjunction with the summer Trunk Show and Fundraiser, we gathered together the Kspin Kittens again, and put together a 13 month 2012 calendar, promoting the beauty of pale skin and safe sun care. This is no ordinary calendar. Sure, it has a place for taking notes. Yes, it has lots of space for appointments and events. It'll tell you when the holidays are, and when you can take a day off work. But its got two things that NO other calendar has. One: it has tips and ideas for keeping your skin safe and healthy, regardless of whether you want golden skin or alabaster, and two: It has 13 months of the beautiful KSpin Kittens!

Don't take my word of it. Here are some teaser shots. Take a look, and then go to the Pretty Pale site and order one for yourself!

I'd like to thank Kerry Spindler and the Spindler family for their support in this effort, all of the Kittens for their involvement, and our calendar writer, Chris Gay for his efforts in bringing together this team effort. Order yours today, and contribute to the cure.

Another Kspin day

Last weekend I had the joy of heading up to Boston to work with my favorite company, Kspin Designs! Together with the Kspin Kids we rocked out their fall catalog of couture children's clothing and accessories. It was a long day, but the kids were all troopers and hung in there to the very end. I'd like to thank Kerry Spinder of Kspin Designs for hosting the event, and all the parents of the adorable children we had the opportunity to work with.

Below are a couple of unedited teasers from the shoot. The clothing will be available soon on Kspin Designs, just as soon as we can make up our minds which of these are the cutest!

 

 

Thats the End for now!
