Boston tall ships film

I am going through some film photos from 2009 and came across a few frames from the tall ships festival in Boston. The black and white image was from 120 film through a Holga camera. The color images are 135 film in a lomo fisheye toy camera.

I love the lady in orange posing for her photo with all the other people in the shot.

Autumn 2009

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

This is the first day of autumn! There are only 94 days until Christmas. (Can you believe it?)  This means that it’s time to start planning family portraits so your cards and prints will be available in plenty of time for the holiday season.

Some more from my time with Chandler. She is the reason I have decided I’d like to specialize in 8 month olds… if that were possible. These are the images most loved by her mom and dad.


If you have a newborn now, please consider scheduling a portrait session around 8 months. It’s a delightful age where they find their toes, love to wiggle and smile, and light up when they see your face.

Lisa decided to purchase the collection of images from her photo session last year, so I am going back through and prepping the files for her. What a lovely set of images we got, and what a demonstration of fierce maternal love!

a timeless mother-son image

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Every portrait session I try to do something unique and artful at the very end to satisfy my own creative curiosity. Recently I’ve been inspired by mother-baby images that show skin-to-skin contact, and asked Meredith if she’d be willing to strip down for this image with Kieran.

We shot against the orangey-yellow paint in their bedroom, and the subdued natural light gave a nice even look to the image.

Aren’t these two beautiful together? I hope someday Kieran has this image framed in his house to show his kids.
