Josephine Picture

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:09:04 GMT

I was playing with a black backdrop with Josephine and had to post this pic. I've been thinking of shooting more of my portraits of younger children with a black backdrop the way I did at the beginning of my career - 12 years ago! It's such a great classic look in Black and White.

I love her crazy hair.

"After the Day" Wedding Shoot in New Bedford

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:13:13 GMT

I've just been going through the "after the day" wedding shoot I did in New Bedford this past winter and I can't believe how much I love these pics. This was from the fabulous storm wedding I did with the uber-cool florist http://www.chadmichaelpeters.com/ in November. I had planned to do portraits of the bride and groom after the wedding regardless of the storm, just because we thought it would be great to wander around the New Bedford Historic District (always a dream of mine to do this with a bride and groom).

I LOVE doing portraits of the bride and groom the "day after" (or even later) since we have the time to do amazing portraits without the time constraints of the wedding day. Any of my past brides (or future brides) who want to put their dresses back on and do this, call me for a free shoot. It is just such a great opportunity for me to do interesting pictures! I'm going to post a slideshow of this shoot next week, but couldn't contain myself posting some of the shots now!

Southern New England Wedding Guide Feature!

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:03:49 GMT

I'm so thrilled to announce another feature in Southern New England Wedding Guide! This is the bible of many brides planning their wedding in our area. To get a copy go to http://www.southernneweddings.com

This was also one of my favorite weddings of the season. The bride and groom and all the family and friends were a dream to work with and it was also at my favorite club to shoot at on the cape, http://www.willowbendcountryclub.com. Willowbend Country Club is one of the best kept secrets on Cape Cod.

The flowers were just perfect and were done by http://www.flowerstickscapecod.com/. The cake was gorgeous - simple and elegant, just like the bride and was done by http://www.deliciousdesserts.net/

I also have to mention the band that was outrageously fabulous! I totally recommend Beantown. There contact info is http://www.wilsonstevens.com/bands/beantown.html

Check out this classic Cape Cod Wedding!

Congratulations, Melissa and Nick!

I've been wanting to blog this shoot for a while, but it was a gift so I had to keep it under wraps. I LOVE when I get jobs to photograph animals. This was a spectacular shoot.

One more beach shoot!

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:54:01 GMT

I didn't think it was possible, but we have had a couple warm days and I squeezed one more beach portrait in. We started at a little park in town for fall colors and then got some amazing pink light at the end of the day at Silvershell Beach.

This is my second shoot for this family. They have such a lovely relationship. It was my pleasure to photograph them and their fabulous Labradoodle!

Check it out:

Love this moment with Daddy and his daughter....

Isn't this family shot hysterical??

I love seeing parents still in love with each other.

I LOVE the color here!!!!

Dad clowning around with his boy!

Crazy about this dog with starfish shot too!

Thanks for another beautiful shoot!
