“And let’s be honest: youth is beautiful. You as a couple are the best-looking you’ll ever be, this minute. 20th anniversary photos will be touching for sure, but nothing else save the wedding will capture the luminosity you’ve got right now — which you probably don’t even know you have.” -Lessons Learned From the (in)Famous Chicken Suit Pics
Today I am in the middle of a workshop with Tanja Lippert (the hilarious photographer who did the naked + chicken suit engagement session referenced above).

These two brought some snuggles into the hallowed halls of MIT for their engagement session. Rawr!
It makes me giggle to imagine Nobel-prizewinning researchers, astrophysicists, and nanotechnologists peeking out from their lab window to wonder what in the world we were doing.

Bonnie LOVES the water, so Robert suggested that our prewedding portrait session take place near the waterfront. One of my favorite places in Boston is the seaport district, near fan pier. We had a nice session and I got to know them a bit before their THURSDAY wedding a few weeks later. More from this Kenyan-in-America wedding soon.

On Sunday I met Bonnie and Robert near the ICA in Boston, and we played.

Kristin and Thomas are currently doing the “she lives there, he lives here” thing until their October wedding, so we needed to plan the official engagement session strategically around one of her wedding logistic visits to Boston. I met up with the two of them at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, right after they finished their tasting meeting. It was also the Saturday of the Tall Ships action in Boston, so that [normally secluded] part of the city was crazy crowded.
We opted to spend most of our time in the hotel with the wonderful decor. The Renaissance has this amazing spiral staircase with birds suspended above your head.
Guys… will you stop being so beautiful together?

I don’t often show much from my boudoir sessions, as the privacy of my clients is of highest concern, and these intimate photos are meant for an audience of one: the beloved.
Images I do post are with the permission of the subject, and usually do not show identifiable face to further protect privacy.
I think human bodies are beautiful.

I have a special place in my heart for intelligentsia.
Together Jeff and Livia hold ridiculous amounts of degrees from the following institutions: Caltech, MIT, Harvard… and she wanted to shoot at Harvard’s campus even though I did my best to convince them of MIT’s greatness.
So on a recent rainy day (sound familiar, Boston?) we found our way through the Harvard science building. I love the eccentric mix of industrial-academic that MIT does so well, and this Harvard location did not disappoint.
A classic moment was when I caught the two of them discussing the structure of the molecule that was hanging above the staircase. NERDS!
Finally, no smart-people engagement session would be complete without some faux-awkwardness. Presenting: the yawn-stretch!

Eileen, Wouter and I spent much of our time in the Frank Gehry-designed Stata Center on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge MA. The building is very “community” designed with an open interface and crazy architecture. I think it’s a delightful building, but many of MIT’s engineers hate it because of its structural challenges (apparently, it leaks when it rains!).
We also spent time in Wouter’s Physics department offices with the colorful floor tiles. Finally, we stopped out at the MIT boathouse, a site of their first date, for a few charming, cuddly outside photos.
I’m really looking forward to photographing Wouter and Eileen’s wedding at Park Street Church next month.
What you won’t want to miss from the photo set — a series we themed “the hot T.A.”
