The H Family and Little C

Some of the sweetest, funnest people I know. They were a breeze to photograph - I don't know what they feed thier kids to get them so well-behaved and cooperative but I gotta get me some of that! Ms.A - Thank you thank you thank you again for your help last week. Its always SUCH a pleasure working with you!

This is the Reason...

...I do what I do.

Beyond lighting, composition, aperture & shutter speeds, clothing selections, and posing, lies the KEY to a great photograph: emotion. It is what gives any photograph that magic. With it, the simplest photograph becomes something that speaks to those who see it. It is what makes a subject in a 2-Dimensional picture become a real-life person that you can connect with. And if you happen to BE the subject, that magic "frozen in time" is what you hang on your wall to cherish and preserve those raw, real moments - what its all about!


Here are some more from one of the most generous, fun, REAL families I know...wish you could all have the pleasure of their aquaintance like me. Love you B Family!!

Ducklings and Swans

Here is another adorable family. They also opted for downtown Boston and I was so excited to get to photograph there again. Don't I get the most gorgeous clients? I had so much fun on this session. Ms.J is such a stunning girl, and so full of sunshine. She just won the award for "Cutest smile and hair" at summer camp and I have to agree. Mr.A was full of giggles for us - what a little doll. These two were just as cute as could be together. It was amazing to watch the two of them interact ... She was just the sweetest sister and he absolutely adores her...what a treat to get to capture that for this beautiful family. Thanks so much Mrs.K- it was wonderful to meet you!

Storybook in Real Life

One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is go to the library. We've been trekking there weekly since she was about 6 months old. It was there that I was introduced to the charming book, "Make Way for Ducklings". At the time we were living in sunny AZ and I wasn't familiar at all with Boston's beautiful Public Gardens and Commons. This trip allowed that book to come to life for us: I even brought a copy of the book and we read it over and over: on the "T", in the park, and even on the duckling statue.

What a gorgeous setting fitting for this beautiful family. I don't think I've ever seen a cuter little "duckling" than this guy. He placed in a contest I did last fall and I was so excited to finally get to photograph him and his sweet parents. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a canvas wrap of one of these for my office...can you guess which one? Thanks so much "C" family - it was such a pleasure working with you!

Summer Discoveries

We're back! After a few weeks in lovely Boston, MA we're home-sweet-home. We had a great time taking in the sights, enjoying the weather, and meeting some wonderful people. One of my favorite things about this job is all the great people and personalities I get to work with.

This family was just great to work with. They were totally laid back and completely allowed me to be the "fly on the wall" as they explored and discovered. I was amazed at these boys: so polite, fun, silly and smart. It took me back to being a kid and enjoying those long lazy days basking in the warm sun, picking fresh fruit and veggies from the garden, splashing in ponds that took my breath away at first. Thanks so much for the fun time guys!

I Think They're In Love...

Introducing Ms.B & Mr.J. I'm not positive, but I think these two might be in love. They met here in CT and are fellow Yaleies so we hit the gorgeous campus for their engagement session. They were just as cute as could be. Following them around was like watching a romantic comedy. Thanks guys - I had a blast working with you!
