Family Portraits in Deerfield, MA

Tonight, I was fortunate to photograph Jenn and her family.  There are lots of open spaces around their home, but I chose a small patch of grass with the sun shining from behind.  I am still working on perfecting my flash skills, but I think the following image turned out well.  It was a joy working with Jenn, Mike, and their three angels - Gregory, Zach, and Emily.

An Evening in Northampton

I traveled to Northampton, Mass this evening to photograph Jennifer and her mother, Colleen.  We were meeting at Smith College's Botanical Gardens, which I've only been to once before.  I was really excited to get there and start shooting.

There are some beautiful locations at Smith College, and we made good use of them.  The following images are a few of my favorites from the shoot.  I had a lot of fun working with Jennifer and Colleen.  

Wedding Bliss!

Yesterday, I was excited to be the second shooter at the wedding of Sandy and Rich.  Sandy's daughter Nikki was thrilled to be wearing a beautiful white dress that she could spin very well in.  The weather was beautiful as was the bride.  We spent some time at a park near her home in East Longmeadow, MA and then made our way to the church for the ceremony.  It was a small wedding, but wonderful all the same.  It was great to be there on their special day!

Leo

I had the pleasure of photographing an adorable 3 month and 1 week old baby boy named Leo.  He did a fabulous job during his hour-long session.  I was so great for his mother, also named Jenny, to come in for a portrait session.  We even had time at the end to photograph Leo in a blanket that Jenny was photographed in when she was a baby.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire

I had an amazing time this last weekend spending a few days with my cousin Val and her fiance Seth.  I was taken to some amazing sites in this historic city and I found it perfect for location portraiture.  Although I got some amazing scenic shots, I photographed Val and Seth and their three pets (Henry, Cannon, and Mrs. Benedict - or Benny!) at their third-story apartment.  Here are some of my favorite shots.  What troopers this crazy bunch was!
