Did anyone see Boston’s Gisele Bündchen in Vogue?

The April 2010 VOGUE had a story on Boston’s local fashion celebrity Gisele Bündchen (married to the Patriots’ Tom Brady). She was photographed by celebrated fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier. GORGEOUS photos. I am particularly stunned by his maternity portrait:

I’m also loving the baby portrait of Gisele with her son Benjamin Rein Brady:

“Where [Gisele] is going now is towards the reality of life and not its appearance.” – interviewer Joan Juliet Buck

I love this supermodel.

Svetli is a 7-year old boy who lives in Bulgaria. He was my little buddy when we went to Bulgaria to photograph Anna and Ali’s wedding last year. His grin makes me feel like a million bucks!

I love singer-songwriter Erin Ivey. She has beautiful, imaginative songs that range from rousing folksy numbers to sweet and sexy lullabies. I had the opportunity to hear her perform live during my recent visit to Austin, Texas and my jaw dropped to the floor when I realized her voice was even BETTER live in person. In retrospect, this seems like an obvious point but when you’re used to hearing an mp3 and then suddenly you get the full range of tonalities, your entire world is shaken.

Thanks Erin, for rocking my world.

I’ve finally finished up editing photos from my 2007 personal archives and have moved onwards to 2008. Here’s an outtake from my little buddy J. who makes me giggle all the time. This is from a personal playdate I had with the kids.

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.

I am in love with this sock monkey hat and scarf on etsy. This would make such a cute gift item for the children in your life!

There’s a reason I love to be around and photograph kids. They’re unbridled. Someone asked me yesterday about my favorite fall memory so far for 2009, and this moment from the October 12 mini-session came to mind. I was showing the girls how I wanted them to lay in the leaves for a photo, and then they spontaneously DOGPILED me. It was hilarious. (Many thanks to my assistant Amanda for taking my camera and grabbing a few frames of the action.)

Some tulip silhouettes from last year…. and I’ll let you in on a secret: whether we admit it or not, photographers always take photos of ourselves in public bathrooms when no one is looking. (Isn’t that funny?)

Two images from our casual time catching up with our friend Stephen and his new daughter Marlee.

Stephen and his wife Rachel were my wedding clients in 2007, and Stephen was Ali’s roommate in Cambridge as they worked toward their masters degrees at MIT. Stephen interned with NASA, as if MIT isn’t impressive enough.

Am I the only one who finds it inappropriate that Cinderella is doing the “Paris Hilton” over the shoulder glance? Should I be taking notes for my boudoir work from Disney princesses now? I am disturbed, but only mildly surprised at the way these princesses have been tarted up with strangely alluring posing (butterflies or not) for this young girl’s birthday party decor. [shudder]
