How Handsome is My Husband!

As many of you who have followed this blog know, my husband is a professional musician.  And as adorable as my husband is, I’ve never done a studio session with him!  I’ve shot just about every member of his band except him.  I’m so happy to say that has finally changed.  My very talented and musical genius (an NO I’m not biased) husband has recently gotten some attention due to a personal music project.  He was interviewed by Saxophone Journal not so long ago and they needed an image for the cover.  How lucky to have a wife as a professional photographer!  I was a bit worried as we’ve never tried this before.  We’re great partners, but have never had a client/photographer dynamic.  That can be different, but it was so much fun!  Chris is a natural in front of the camera and very photogenic (once again, not at all biased) which made my job very easy.  I wonder if you think he’s as handsome as I do???     And while I’m in the bragging mood, below are some live images taken of him recently.  Will be sure to show off some more when the Saxophone Journal article and his new […]

Beauty is Pain!

As a girl growing up, I’d often hear my mother telling me “beauty is pain.”  She was also known to quote her mother saying, “If it zippers, it fits…” but that’s a story for another day.  My shoot with Naomi really gives that phrase new meaning!  Naomi is a stunning and truly gifted vocalist and was wanting to add a more grown up and sophisticated look to her portfolio.  The session started easily enough in the studio, but then moved to the waterfront.  This is not a session from months ago!  It was last month!  The waterfront in mid-winter is not the most comfortable place to be even dressed appropriately.  But as you notice Naomi’s wardrobe, there is a lot of bare skin there (my mother would have also mentioned catching pneumonia dressed like that…but I digress).  And she was a total trooper, even when it started raining!  She did not complain once!  Is was so cold out, a passer by stopped everything to bring Naomi a cup of hot tea to warm her up.  I’m pretty sure he was in love!  And let’s please not miss the shoes Naomi is wearing.  They were very interesting on the wooden bridge […]

Best of 2012!

What a year it has been!  As I reflect on the past year, I see how lucky I’ve been to have worked with such lovely and unique people.  My job has taken me to beautiful locations and has introduced me to some truly wonderful people.  I’ve had such a difficult time choosing my favorite images of 2012…which you’ll see…as there are many!  I’ve had the opportunity to witness and capture some really special and one of a kind moments.  I’m so pleased to be able to share some of my favorites.   The engagement session can be an important part of my job.  And certainly one of the most fun!  It’s my first opportunity to really spend some time with my clients.  I learn about their relationships, personalities and styles.  And my clients learn what it’s like to be photographed.  I always ask my clients to choose a location that is special to them and speaks to their relationship.  So I find myself in some interesting spots from local bars and city streets to hiking trails and farms.  Here are some of my favorite from this year…     The wedding day is a wild and exciting day.  By far, […]

Smithsoneon & The Jazz Thugs

This week, I was grateful for the opportunity to photograph some very talented  people in a truly unique and challenging space.  In a small, independently owned, Asian American book store,  Smithsoneon & the Jazz Thugs performed by the light of two small, red paper lanterns.  East Meets West Bookstore is managed by the Boston Progress Arts Collective.  It houses the largest selection of independent Asian American products on the East Coast, including books, DVDs, hip hop, rock, and spoken word CDs and vinyl, chapbooks, gear and one-of-a-kind artwork from established and up-and-coming artists from across the country.  They hosted Smithsoneon and the Jazz Thugs as part of their Music Box Series   The lack of any real light and the tight quarters made this a very interesting challenge to shoot.  I’m hoping these images are as unique as the outstanding music I heard that night.  The Jazz Thugs are a group of gentlemen who met their freshmen year at Berklee School of Music and have been playing Jazz together ever since.  They’ve only named themselves recently due to the increased attention they’ve received.  Saturday night, they featured jazz covers as well as some unique compositions including an amazing piece set to Martin Luther […]
