Rachel & David

Date June 1, 2010

Whenever I am in the same place as previous year wedding clients, I try to do a mini portrait session so they have an updated photo together. Although we only had a few minutes together during my recent visit to Austin, Texas I am really enamored with these portraits out in a field next to their apartment.

Rachel and David were married in Dallas in 2007.

Amy and Jake are both teachers in the Boston area, so they thought it would be fun to do their engagement photo session at a local playground. I love the playful results!

Diana and Micah – new house portraits!

Date November 17, 2009

When I found out Diana and Micah (legacy clients from 2007) had just bought a house, I had a very specific portrait I wanted of them together in their new space. Quiet amidst the chaos of moving. Here’s the image I had in mind:

And then, of course, we played! Micah is kind of weird in the same way I am, so we have fun being nerdy together. Diana is sweet and kind and always brings laughter into the room. What a great combination!

I enjoyed getting the house and neighborhood tour, and feel confident that Groton will never be the same again.

Congratulations, you two. May the fixing up always be sexy and fun.

NYC in October

Date October 26, 2009

One year ago I was in NYC shooting lomo fisheye images on the streets. Just going through old folders and found these street scenes I love.

it’s time for family portraits

October is always a busy month for me! I’m one of those photographers who, despite large monetary bribes, will not shoot past November… so I end up with glorious Autumn weddings and portrait sessions taking up every spare moment.

Thinking forward to the holidays, I always laugh at how many people forget about holiday greetings until a few days before vacation and end up with the last minute “quick, grab a snapshot from summer! then rush to Walgreens and get prints made!” cards – I’ve seen quite a few over the years.  Ah, we zealous Americans.

If you’re NOT a procrastinator, and want to get in on the fun, professional photo session action this year with your new husband, your new pet, or others you hold dear, consider booking one of our early holiday portrait sessions. What are you doing on the upcoming Monday holiday? There are still a couple of slots left in our October dates!

goodbye Tricia!

stylist Tricia Askew

My favorite stylist, Tricia, just moved to Portland with her husband who is a very important doctor who got a very important job. I’ll miss her sweet personality and talented boudoir styling skills. She always brings light into the room. The first image above is from our boudoir session with an editor of Boston Magazine earlier this year.

I met Tricia back in February 2007 when she commissioned me to do some headshots. The photos above were my first foray into a world of stylized posing.

Thanks, Tricia! Knowing you has literally changed my life.

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.

2009 portrait session pricing

Date June 14, 2009

I have finally settled on session pricing for 2009. I decided to lower the session fee for my lifestyle portrait sessions, but bump up prices on prints. Check out the info over here [link]. Lots of hot mamas, cute kids, and families in all their quirkiness. Send your friends over there!
