We attended the same high school, and then got to know each other better while working many crazy summers at the photo lab downtown. This year, I was honored to photograph her wedding.
She married Patric in the backyard of their home in Yarmouth, under beautiful blue skies, on a perfect Cape Cod August afternoon.
I share with you some images from that day.

Air down the tires and travel over the sand, all of a sudden the dunes part and the only thing before you is sand and sea and air, blue sky that goes on forever just like the almost-tropical looking ocean.<br />
<br />

<br />
The warm soft wind carries the scent of ocean, tide, sea life and sand, sunscreen and bodies caressed by the sun's healing rays.<br />

<br />
The ocean laps lazily at the sand, growing slowly closer, it will draw near for six hours and then retreat, again revealing the flats and the stones and the tidal pools it covers at its peak.<br />
<br />
In winter it is grey here, and cold and desolate, lonely and depressing. It's hard to imagine the suicide, domestic violence, and substance abuse rates are as high as they are when you look out at the summertime paradise. But it is a stark difference, and those of us who live here year round know if we endure the cold and hard winters, we will be rewarded with paradise.<br />
<br />
This is Cape Cod. Specifically, the images I present to you are from Sandy Neck, a long stretch of sand on the North Side of Cape Cod, fronting Cape Cod Bay. Standing here on the beach you can see Plymouth to the West, the Sagamore Bridge connecting the Cape to the mainland, and on a good day you can look East to Provincetown, the whole of the Cape.<br />
<br />

<br />
We are beach people in the summer, flip flops all the time, sand in our cars and on our floors, in our blood. The Cape is beautiful because of its diversity. There isn't simply The Beach, there are many beaches. Warm placid South Side beaches, fronting Nantucket Sound (threatened by the possible future installation of one hundred thirty four hundred foot wind turbines); the gorgeous and eternally protected National Seashore of the Outer Cape, its beautiful cliffs, vistas and freezing Atlantic water. To the North, Cape Cod Bay, with its epic, stretching tides...sometimes when you walk out on the flats during low tide you swear you are on another planet where everything is still and warm and glistening and perfect.<br />
<br />

<br />
We stay on the beach until the sun goes down, bathing suits are covered with comfortable cotton tee shirts and shorts, a fire is built on the beach and music is played. Our sun warmed bodies chill easily when darkness falls, but the glow of the fire keeps us warm.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since my trip to the beach last weekend, I've quit my job and signed a contract for a new one, a large salary increase and a new challenge, a similar yet vastly different venue, a step forward and one behind all in the same. Amidst all this chaos I'll sink my toes in the sand and let the waves washing by caress the shouting in my soul.<br />
<br />
Happy summer, everyone.<br />

I spied a Robin in my front yard on Tuesday afternoon and the small sprouts of growth near the shed in the back yard. Walks through the woods have begun as well, as I traipse through the trees in an attempt to coax Spring through the earth with my camera lens. <br />

Since that Friday night in late March, I've shot an oyster tasting at Legal Seafoods, countless classes (Cooking for Singles! Whiskey tasting! Sewing! Italian cooking!); member events (Caramba its the Samba, Bollywood at the BCAE); and done a lot of other fun projects for this great non-profit. I have to thank my dear friend Jennifer Scott for hooking me up with this great gig, and for keeping me working even after I left my beloved Boston. My work has been featured in member brochures, marketing materials, on the website, and on the catalogs - and here's the latest:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxTVHUhRM_8tcSWxdgJBfTfDIO7Ei-Sq7klTM1zqF7CdH4Ml3JPDB5GDKWrRse5Q6vn0Gns0H8tEgMpfTZc_8mcb35fQ5YfvN2FKF4yOT2Bc5Qgo3bQdspvB-3aLGgMTbP2OHCM8NcLZc/s1600-h/bcae.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxTVHUhRM_8tcSWxdgJBfTfDIO7Ei-Sq7klTM1zqF7CdH4Ml3JPDB5GDKWrRse5Q6vn0Gns0H8tEgMpfTZc_8mcb35fQ5YfvN2FKF4yOT2Bc5Qgo3bQdspvB-3aLGgMTbP2OHCM8NcLZc/s200/bcae.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451978554648894114" /></a><br />A lovely shot of the exterior of the BCAE that if memory serves me correctly, I shot on my very first night at the BCAE. <br /><br />Here it is, spring again, yet another new beginning for me.

It's still under construction, but the bare-bones are there. Look for updated images, new content, and fun things to read in the coming weeks. I have a bunch of fun things to look forward to this year - more BCAE work, weddings, and the like. I've also teamed up with DJ Ben Runnels - we provide a package deal that allows you to get a photographer AND a DJ for your wedding at one ridiculously low price.

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?<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3571/3638033709_ac649dd223.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />BCAE work should pick up again next month--looking forward to it.

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. <br /><br /><br />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 - <a href="http://www.oceanstreetspa.etsy.com"TARGET="_blank">visit the Ocean Street Spa</a>!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3404/3536292426_fd932698e3.jpg?v=0">Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15118614507653667016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618407981140904027.post-1365524964527287242009-04-29T07:45:00.001-07:002009-04-29T07:54:28.451-07:00Boston's Weekly DigToday three of my photos appear in the Education supplement of Boston's <a href="www.weeklydig.com">Weekly Dig</a>.

I started the site last year with the thought of maybe generating some interest in my photography. I had no idea what this year had in store for me. I've always taken pictures, from the (very) early years with my Kodak disc, to spending hours in my high school's darkroom, to the years spent at my beloved little Photoworks..to the last few years with my trusty digital SLR by my side--it's always been a passion, always been an interest.<br /><br />In the last year, I've acquired studio space in Cambridge, shot a ton of portraits, gotten PAID for my work, shot a wedding, I have two booked for this year so far and another in the works...I've gotten praise and thanks, scored an excellent gig shooting for the <a href="http://www.bcae.org">Boston Center for Adult Education</a>..been published in the Boston Globe, both <a href="http://www.boston.com/community/photos/raw/2008/08/photographer_of_the_week_sarah.html">online</a> as well as in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xnothingbutflowersx/3235410612/in/set-72157613099235162/">print</a> edition...and I'll be published in <a href="http://www.thesouthmag.com">The South</a> magazine this summer. Who knows what lies ahead, but it's all exciting...and I can't wait. <br /><br />Thank you to all my friends for your amazing support, thank you to my clients, thank you to my family.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15118614507653667016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618407981140904027.post-23137559045539781622009-04-05T10:57:00.000-07:002009-04-05T11:07:25.442-07:00Event Photography & Exciting TimesMarch was an excellent month for Sarah Colvin Photography. I worked a TON, which I love...and right now I'm enjoying a long overdue weekend of relaxing, which for me means sitting down and focusing on the work for a little while. Yes, I realize that's not the standard definition of relaxing, but boy does it feel good to get this work off my desk! I have a pile of CDs ready to go in the mail, editing done, web updates done, and I'm ready for the next round. I have ONE job left to edit, my dear friends at Cape Cod Broadcasting, so stay tuned for those...they're so much fun. More on that later, though.<br /><br />What I want to talk about now is the newest "addition" to Sarah Colvin Photography, and that's event photography. When I was doing news on <a href="http://www.wqrc.com">WQRC</a> and <a href="http://www.ocean1047.com">Ocean 104</a>, I'd often get sent out in the field, trusty microphone in hand, to cover events using sound. I'd get access to all sorts of things I'd never attend on my own, and then I'd have to hunt down the bigwigs or other attendees and interview them. While I LOVED that job (and loved really is an understatement), I always found my eye wandering to the photojournalists there, watching and envying them as they snapped happily away, capturing the breaking story or other event in a completely different way. I always wanted to DO that sort of thing. And now, with my event photo portion of the business blossoming and blooming, I DO get to. It dawned on me while I was covering the BCAE's Oyster Tasting last Saturday. I stood in the room, camera in hand, observing the action, and it felt so familiar...until it dawned on me why. I noticed members of the press there, who came up and spoke with me, and it all felt so <I>natural</i>. I honestly never thought my news experience would help with my photography..but lo and behold it has. And I'm so super happy to be back in the thick of the action again.<br /><br />Thanks to a new friend of mine, I now do freelance work for the <a href="http://www.bcae.org">Boston Center for Adult Education</a>, as you may have noticed from my previous post. I am so thrilled and flattered to have this new partnership, and feel like this experience is only going to bring more positivity into my professional life. The BCAE is an amazing place, fun and exciting, and I've got four or five more events for them coming up in April. Hooray!<br /><br />That being said--if you are reading this and have an event coming up...birthday party, reunion, etc, etc...and want a photographer, <a href="mailto:sarah@sarahcolvin.com">email me</a>. The thing about event photography, especially for private parties, is this: I know you'll always have friends/family there with cameras, and they'll be able to capture the event in their own special way. But by hiring an outside photographer (me, of course!!), you'll be free to put down the camera and have fun--and be assured that you'll have a lasting, fun memory of the day or night.<br /><br />I've also made some tweaks to the site, so poke around, take a look, email me, send a comment, hire me, etc etc etc. Now get out there and enjoy the sunshine, already!!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15118614507653667016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618407981140904027.post-35794139787829090982009-03-28T05:18:00.001-07:002009-03-28T08:49:12.391-07:00Boston Center for Adult EducationIf you're not taking a class at the <a href="http://bcae.org/">Boston Center for Adult Education</a>, you're missing out. Big time. <br /><br />I trekked over to the BCAE's super hip new location in the South End last night with no expectations, save for my memories of 'adult education' on the Cape, which consisted of a group of bored people under my high school's fluorescents learning about tidal patterns. <br /><br />This? Amazing. First of all, the BCAE's new space is absolutely gorgeous. Second, the classes on the roster last night included <a href="http://bcae.org/SearchECat?open&Query=whiskey">whiskey tasting</a>, <a href="http://bcae.org/ecat?open&sub=Wine+~+Spirits&SortBy=subject">wine tasting</a>, <a href="http://bcae.org/SearchECat?open&Query=ghost">ghost science</a>, and <a href="http://bcae.org/SearchECat?open&Query=cooking%20for%20singles">cooking for singles</a>. See? I am not making this up. And there's so much more where that came from. And not to mention, on Fridays, the BCAE does what they call "Friday Night Out". Because many of the classes on Fridays are single-session, Friday Night Out is essentially a reception for those coming in and taking the class, a chance to mix and mingle, hang out, drink wine, and listen to great live music before taking your class. Who knew education could be so fun? <br /><br /><img src="http://sarahcolvin.smugmug.com/photos/500181718_Bsdq7-M.jpg"><br /><I>Michelle Lewis performs live at last night's BCAE Friday Night Out</I><br /><br /><img src="http://sarahcolvin.smugmug.com/photos/500184084_QQ8KS-M.jpg"><br /><I>Students relax before classes begin</I><br /><br /><img src="http://sarahcolvin.smugmug.com/photos/500220637_e9izY-M.jpg"><br /><I>Folks get down to business in "Cooking For Singles"</I><br /><br /><img src="http://sarahcolvin.smugmug.com/photos/500212938_ZQ7Q3-M.jpg"><br /><I>I did say whiskey tasting, right??</I><br /><br />The Boston Center for Adult Education is located at 122 Arlington Street in downtown Boston.

While I have been using <a href="http://www.flickr.com/xnothingbutflowersx">Flickr</a> for many years, it didn't really give me exactly what I was looking for in terms of client galleries. <br /><br />But recently, I discovered <a href="http://www.sarahcolvin.smugmug.com">SmugMug</a> and I think it's going to work out quite well for both me and my clients. The uploading is a little more time-consuming than Flickr, but the end result is great, and I can also add passwords and protection if need be. So, if you are a recent client of mine, click <a href="http://sarahcolvin.com/sarahcolvinphotographyclients.html">here</a> and you'll find a link to your SmugMug gallery. You can also easily order prints, directly from them, to be delivered to you, for super cheap prices. <br /><br />Back to uploading for me!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15118614507653667016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618407981140904027.post-50479169404331074482009-03-19T06:02:00.001-07:002009-03-19T06:15:03.212-07:00A busy weekend!I have been getting a lot of work with kids lately..and that's just fine with me, because kids are so much fun to shoot! I met up with Jared and his mom on Saturday afternoon at the Plymouth waterfront. Jared's mom hung out with his baby brother while Jared and I roamed the shore, having fun and taking pictures along the way. He was a complete natural in front of the camera, struck many poses -- including a lot of goofy ones -- but we had a ton of fun.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3646/3361439590_630b4a9567.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />I also did something very new this weekend -- party pics! While I am no stranger to pulling my camera out at parties I've attended (my friends can truly attest to that!), this weekend was the first time I shot parties for complete strangers. Much thanks to my good friend <a href="http://www.djlisaz.com">DJ Lisa Z</a> for setting me up with the gigs. <br /><br />Friday's party was a fun-filled surprise 50th in Falmouth. The group was a rowdy, fun crowd -- a perfect group for my first attempt at being a party photographer. I am a little shy, but this bunch made it so easy! The guest of honor LOVED having "papparazi". <br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/3368034328_587bf1ded6.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />Saturday night's event was another surprise birthday party, also in Falmouth. An awesome family--lots of laughs, lots of fun! I love it when people get together with those they haven't seen in a long time, those moments are simply wonderful to capture.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3559/3367209687_c96b0cf820.jpg?v=0"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3622/3367207907_6b236acd02.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />I've got a lot of editing ahead -- stay tuned for more updates to the site!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15118614507653667016noreply@blogger.com1
