**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.

Stanley-Whitman House

Ye Olde Lebanon Towne Militia, Company 1775, camps on the historic grounds of the Stanley-Whitman House for a full afternoon of immersive Revolutionary War living history. The group portrays soldiers and civilians of Connecticut's Third Regiment, bringing both military and domestic life to the grounds: drills, inspections, beekeeping, a period surgeon, crime-and-punishment demonstrations, and hands-on musket drills for younger visitors. Farmington had its own men in that war: Bayze Wells, a Farmington sergeant whose journal of Continental Army service from 1775 to 1777 documents the same supply shortages, improvised rations, and winter hardships that the militia's interpreters bring to life on the grounds.
The encampment is free and open to the public. The historic house will be open for guided tours at regular admission rates. The Roots and Reflections painting exhibition by Rachael and John O'Shaughnessy is free to view in the Spear Classroom and Whitman Tavern, and the museum store will be open throughout the afternoon.
Part of the <a href="https://s-wh.org/farmingtonct250" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FarmingtonCT250</a> programming series at Stanley-Whitman House. Stanley-Whitman House is a proud official affiliate of the America 250 | CT Commission. Join us for these commemorative events.
