Pure Essence Therapy & Spa......(P.E.T. Spa!)

I had a busy day yesterday, which is always good and fun when you own your own business! Yesterday brought a new challenge with Puppy Portraits with two dogs, Buddy and Gizmo,  who couldn't have been more different, Buddy was hyper and ready to play and Gizmo,  who had no desire to get dirty, both super lovable!!! Despite their differences and their opposing views on how the day should have gone, we got some great shots and had a great time watching them play.

Amber Torres is opening an all natural PET Spa in Orange called Pure Essence therapy and Spa, offering a full service grooming salon. (click the link for more info and to book an appointment!!! )

Welcome to the world Jaida Lynn!!!

I am so excited to introduce Jaida Lynn to the world...and  the internet, and to be able to document her life, literally from the beginning. 

New Year. New Start

WOW. I fell off the map for a bit. I guess I was waiting for BIG news to share with the world...and I finally have some! I have decided its time to cut the leash and go solo. FRIAS photography is finally being brought to the FRONT burner after years of school, and years of dreaming of owning my own business I have finally made the leap. I quit my corporate job, with benefits (Not before getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth yanked out of my head though!) and I have picked up a really sweet gig at a cafe/gallery in the area The Funky Monkey cafe in Cheshire CT  (just incase I dont become independently wealthy in the first year ;) ) This is a really exciting new chapter in my life and I am excited to live my life to the fullest! I have already started booking appointments so Im super optimistic about the possibilities! Owning your own business is a lot of hard work, but with passion and dedication Im sure it will also be very rewarding!

SO from now on I will be better about blogging, and keeping this site updated with whats sure to be many fun and new happenings, and of course pictures :)

My first shoot of the year was a special one, welcoming Jaida Lynn to the world! Her official first photo session is tomorrow but I had the honor of being able to visit Michelle and Markel after their amazingly precious baby was born! Congratulations to the both of you on creating such a sweet little bean!!!

 Proud Uncle Bob :) hes a natural with the babes...
