So I’m not gonna lie, my legs went a little numb when I read Mary Marantz’ Tweet notifying the whole world that they had posted a blog feature on some “up and coming” photographer and saw that the name associated was MINE!

Justin and Mary are some pretty incredible business owners and photographers based out of New Haven, Connecticut. And I look up to them.  A lot.  So you can imagine how honored I was when they contacted me to be featured on their blog for a new series they’re doing called “Ones to Watch” and wanted me to be the first One featured.

Mary and Justin, I cannot thank you enough for your friendship and “mentor-ship” over the last couple of years. I am so completely honored and thrilled.  Thank you for thinking of me for this series, and more importantly, for your continual support and encouraging selves.

Love you.

René

Last month I had the chance to hang with J&M at their home in New Haven and grab lunch at one of their favorite places next door to Yale.  Mary and I are Starbucks zealots; she’s a skinny vanilla latté girl, I’m a peppermint americano gal.
