Rob Faber Photography, LLC

**Rob Faber Photography, LLC | Fine-Art Portraits &amp; Sports Photography in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts** Rob Faber Photography, LLC is a Connecticut-based portrait and sports photography studio serving Northern CT and Western MA. Founded in 2013, the studio is built on one core belief: your most important moments deserve more than a quick snapshot — they deserve to become artwork. Specializing in senior portraits, family portraits, professional headshots, and high-impact Media Day sessions for youth and high school athletes, Rob Faber Photography combines cinematic lighting with intentional storytelling. Each session is designed to capture personality, confidence, and connection — not stiff poses or generic images. What makes Rob Faber Photography unique is the experience and the finished product. Sessions are never rushed. Clients are guided through wardrobe, concept planning, and a personalized design consultation to ensure their portraits reflect who they are. The focus is not on high-volume digital delivery. Instead, the studio emphasizes museum-quality wall art, handcrafted albums, and fine-art prints designed to last for generations. Rob is known for bold studio lighting, rich tones, and clean, powerful compositions. From dramatic senior portraits to energetic basketball and football Media Days, every image is created with attention to detail and professional-level production value. For athletic programs, Media Day sessions provide a collegiate-style photo experience with individual player galleries and dynamic team images. For families and professionals, portraits are crafted to feel timeless, confident, and authentic. Proudly serving communities including Suffield, Granby, Simsbury, Avon, West Hartford, and surrounding towns, Rob Faber Photography creates more than images — it creates lasting visual legacies for homes, businesses, and athletic programs.

Avon Free Public Library

Join us for an in-person, ticketed event with Christina Baker Kline, sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library.&nbsp;

Inspired by the true lives of Chang and Eng Bunker, the world-renowned conjoined twins from Siam, and their marriages to sisters Sarah and Adelaide Yates (Kline’s own distant relatives), this novel reimagines one of the strangest and most revealing family stories in American history — and offers a piercingly intimate perspective on an extraordinary chapter of the past.
Set in the Blue Ridge foothills of northwestern North Carolina in the 19th-century, The Foursome begins with Eng and Chang’s arrival, their presence stirring fascination and unease. As the twins build a plantation worked by enslaved labor and begin to introduce themselves to the community, Sarah and her sister Adelaide find themselves drawn into the orbit of these enigmatic men. What follows is an intimate and emotionally charged exploration of their unconventional marriages, as Sarah and Adelaide navigate the complexities of intimacy, judgment, and their own evolving desires.
Christina Baker Kline is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten novels, including Orphan Train,&nbsp;The Exiles,&nbsp;Please Don’t Lie&nbsp;(co-authored with Anne Burt), and the forthcoming&nbsp;The Foursome&nbsp;(May 2026), Christina Baker Kline is published in more than 40 countries. Her novels have received the New England Prize for Fiction, the Maine Literary Award, and a Barnes &amp; Noble Discover Award, among other prizes, and have been chosen by hundreds of communities, universities, and schools as “One Book, One Read” selections. Her essays, articles, and reviews have appeared in publications such as&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;and&nbsp;The New York Times Book Review,&nbsp;The Washington Post,&nbsp;The Boston Globe, and&nbsp;The San Francisco Chronicle.
