A new twist on pregnancy portraits, Arlington, MA

Last year I make the decision to go back to school to study editorial photography.  While I still love (and will always love) to photograph portraits and weddings, I want to also venture into the world of editorial photography, hopefully shooting for Food & Wine, Budget Travel, or Martha Stewart Magazine one day.
This past year...

The only sangria recipe you will ever need

Dali Restaurant & Tapas bar, located on the Cambridge/Somerville line, serves quite possibly the best sangria in all of Boston.  Once upon a time the owner of Dali was interviewed by the Globe and shared a slightly modified version of the recipe, which has been tweaked and reposted by amateur mixologists across the web.   Today,...

Portrait of Jess at the Boston Public Library, Boston, MA

Having worked in Copley Square for quite a few years, I have seen my fair share of brides and grooms on the steps of the BPL, having their wedding portraits done. You would think that would have inspired me to wander around and test the light in and around the library, but no. ...

Introducing Nathan Burke: Newborn Portraits, Mansfield, Ma

This past Monday I headed down to Mansfield to photograph newborn Nathan, who surprised his parents by arriving a good two weeks earlier than scheduled. He was a perfect subject, opening his eyes more than any newborn I’ve seen in recent years. I even managed to capture some sparkly catch lights in those...

Leah and Jeffrey: Veronique at Club Longwood, Brookline, MA

Leah and Jeffrey were married in the clubroom at Veronique which was exciting for me, because it was the site of my best friend’s wedding three years ago. It was amazing to return and instead of being in the wedding party, to be there to do everything I could to record it as accurately...

Despite precarious weather predictions for this past Friday, Olga and Steve ended up with absolutely perfect weather for their beautiful and intimate ceremony in the Italian Garden at Elm Bank. This wedding was unique in that they made it as eco-friendly as possible, from the invitations sent on recycled paper, to the organic and local...

Portraits of Sami, Caleigh & Matthew: Mansfield, MA

When four year old Sami’s mom showed her the princess portraits I took of my nieces, she told her about my magic camera that photographs fairies and fairy dust. Obviously, Sami wanted princess fairy dust portraits of her own. So this Saturday we headed to the truly magical Borderland State Park for our...
