Tis the season! Senior portraits are due at High Schools all over New England. While I finish up the last of my senior portrait shoots, I’ve still got time for another special portrait. Brandon is in 10th grade so he’s still got some time before he worries about his senior photos. But his mom’s got a special birthday party planned for him and wanted some professional photos. We headed to one of my favorite parts of Boston for a cool and urban background. And we finished up on Boston’s waterfront for a fantastic view of the Boston City Skyline. I enjoy working with teenagers. It is bit of a challenge to get them to feel comfortable (especially shooting in public places) and look natural in front of the camera. But I like to think I’ve got a knack for it. Here are some of the images taken of Brandon. He’s a great kid and was a fantastic sport. I hope I get a chance to do the Senior shoot in a few years!
I believe there are as many wedding photography styles as there are wedding photographers. No two photographers are quite the same. Which is great! Because no two couples are quite the same. Photographers tout themselves as Photojournalists, High Fashion Photographers, Documentary Photographers, Traditional Photographers, Candid Photographers and countless other types of wedding photographers. These terms can mean different things to different people. So it’s important to look at a photographer’s full portfolio to see if it speaks to you. When choosing the perfect wedding photographer, it’s important to think about how you plan to use your wedding images. Are your images an opportunity to make your dream of being a high fashion model materialize? If that’s the case, I’ll be honest. I’m not your girl. That doesn’t mean I don’t love that idea! I think it would be a blast to feel like a celebrity for a day and have the images to prove it. I simply don’t provide that style of photography. Your wedding day is over so quickly! I don’t want you spending time with me styling your wedding. I want you out enjoying your precious time interacting with your closest friends and family. On the […]
Wedding and event photography can be unique as photographers have very little control over their setting and subjects. We rarely get to weigh in on the time of day these events happen. Occasionally, my wedding clients will consult with me when deciding their ceremony time and I love when they do. But I understand that optimal lighting is not the top priority for my couples. In fact, if you’ve hired a professional, seasoned and talented photographer, you should not have to worry about lighting at all. A great wedding photographer should know how to create beautiful images regardless of the lighting. So when I’m told my only chance to get the entire wedding party together is after sunset, I’m not phased at all. Not only am I confident I can create beautiful indoor images. I’m downright excited about shooting outdoors at night. I get the chance to pull out extra lights and stands and create a fabulous evening portrait. When you know what you’re doing, evening can be a perfect time for photography. I’m more able to create and control my own lighting at night. It can be a blast! Below, are some of my favorite evening photos.
