Family Portraits

Oh my stars it's been a long time since I've posted. Three weddings down and two to go..so here's a family portrait shot I did in Cotuit today to tide y'all over. Happy Thanksgiving!

BCAE fun and after-fun

Trotted down to the Boston Center for Adult Education last night, one of my favorite places in Boston. Chef Joanne Chang of Myers and Chang was teaching a hands-on class that I had the good fortune to photograph. Joanne rocked the class.






So many good ones--if you want to see the full set, click here.

Afterwards, I was walking to the train to head home, but ended up meeting the lovely Jenny Scott and Nathan Spencer for cocktails at Marliave, a place that had always intrigued me but I'd never had the chance to visit. Less than one glass of wine in, the camera came out again:


Sometimes the photographer needs to be in the photograph...

And of course perusing the new BCAE catalog in between pours.

I have a wedding to shoot on Saturday--can't wait--stay tuned for updates.

Back in the groove.

I feel like I've taken the entire month of June off, as far as photography goes. I've had a break from BCAE work, and portrait work has been on hold as the studio moves locations and the weather hasn't been so nice for outdoor work. Such was the case last Wednesday, when I'd originally had Danielle and Rick scheduled for their engagement session. But, we bumped it up a week and were blessed yesterday with one of the nicest weather days we've had in...well, way too long to think about. Initially the plan was to go to the Public Garden, but we rocked the Common instead. Danielle and Rick are getting married in August--I'll be shooting the wedding. I can't wait! They are so cute together, don't you think?



BCAE work should pick up again next month--looking forward to it. Got some fun stuff coming down the pike--stay tuned!

...and now in the South Magazine!

The June/July issue of The South magazine is now hitting newsstands..featuring a photo of mine. You can check out the story online. This is a particularly awesome achievement, not only because the photo is appearing in a nice glossy mag, but this is my brother's band, Low Country Destroyer, who have been having a great deal of success down South this year. So let's hear it for the awesomely talented Josh Colvin and his bandmates. LCD rocks.

My image appears on the cover of the July/August catalog for the Boston Center for Adult Education. Exciting!

Headshots in the Public Garden

An old high school friend of mine contacted me via Facebook last week, asking if I'd shoot her headshots. Of course, I accepted. Amy and I were good friends in high school--I remember us being the only two people in Photo II senior year (my high school was verrrry small) and having a blast taking photos and developing them in the darkroom. I met up with Amy on Boston Common last evening--a beautiful, warm and sun-filled late spring evening--and we strolled to the Public Gardens. I've been DYING to shoot there, and am now so excited for an engagement shoot I've got planned there next month. The evening sun and backdrops were gorgeous. It was awesome to catch up with Amy--I haven't seen her for more than a decade. Gotta love Facebook for making it so easy to keep in touch with old friends.


Amy is a very crafty lady -- she makes her own soaps(!) and was kind enough to give me a sampling of her wares last night. I'm excited to use them, and you should check out her stuff - go ahead - visit the Ocean Street Spa!

Boston's Weekly Dig

Today three of my photos appear in the Education supplement of Boston's Weekly Dig. Thanks again to Jennifer Scott and the awesome crew at the Boston Center for Adult Education for being awesome. Go out and pick up the Dig!
