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.

A native of Hartford, CT and resident of Amsterdam, Warren Byrd is an Afro-American jazz pianist, vocalist and composer.

Warren is co-leader with Jewish bassist and composer David Chevan of the Afro-Semitic Experience, as well as with Dutch trumpeter and composer Saskia Laroo in Duo Laroo/Byrd.
Underwater Kite is not your average Connecticut art gallery. In fact, it's not an average gallery anywhere. Fully unique and in a class all its own, UWK is the brainchild of artist and curator, Antony Zito working in partnership with Hartford’s “Artists in Real Time”, the nonprofit organization run by Cynthia Bulaong. Zito’s vibrant and diverse curatorial style brings a decidedly urban and edgy lilt to Windsor. 
Come early and view the current exhibition, “Tar &amp; Feathers” featuring over 100 artworks by 78 artists. It's full of deft humor, emotional depth, vibrant intellect, skillful craft and surprising moments - the perfect environment for summer evenings of jazz.
