The Perfect Imperfection of Family Photos
Last weekend, I photographed a couple and their 3 1/2 month old baby who was absolutely adorable – as all babies are. The trouble was that it wasn’t easy to get a good expression out of the little guy – not because he isn’t as cute as a button – because he wouldn’t smile. The [...]
Focus on Diversity
This month, I am participating in a really cool project with Wheelock College, photographing a diverse group of families for an exhibit on campus called “Families in Focus.” The project is part of a campus-wide diversity initiative and the goal is to highlight how different “families” can be; not just the typical husband-wife-2.5 children combination [...]

Fall Family Photos
This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Fischl family – Shukti, Ken and their son Austin. As is the norm when photographing little kids, Austin’s attention wavered in and out, but Mom and Dad (aided by Grandma and Grandpa) managed to keep him happy and occupied for nearly an hour. My usual strategy [...]
Behind the Scenes
After many years of shooting, I finally brought a second shooter to a family portrait on Sunday so that I could get some “behind-the-scenes” shots of me at work. I have been meaning to do this for a very long time. After all, who doesn’t like going behind-the-scenes shots of photo shoots? I always love [...]
Outdoor Family Photos
Last weekend Erin and Dave hired me to photograph them with their 11 month old son in the Arnold Arboretum here in Jamaica Plain. Per my suggestion, they coordinated and all wore blue shirts that made the baby’s bright blue eyes look absolutely stunning! We played and laughed and hung out in the shade until [...]
The Maxwell Twins
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing the Maxwell twins, born almost one year ago to an acquaintance from my Connecticut high school and her darling husband. All babies are adorable, but there is something so special about twins. Having two babies and two parents in the frame adds so much to the [...]
Flowers and Families: Taking Better Pictures
Well, it’s finally spring, which means photo labs all over New England will be experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of pictures of flowers and kids! We’re finally outside and it’s beautiful – who wouldn’t be taking pictures! If you’re tempted to take pictures of the lovely spring flowers, or if you are like [...]
Nostalgic Family Photographs
I am not old. I know that at age 31 I still have more years ahead of me than behind. But sometimes I can’t help feeling old, especially when I take time to look through old family photos and remember all of those seemingly-lost childhood memories. How incredibly special that we have photographs to look [...]
More Family Photos
Well, unfortunately the “For Families” gallery is currently down on my website, so visitors can not see all of the great family portrait work that I have to share. Naturally, then, I will share some here. This is my darling 8 year old niece with whom I did a photo shoot yesterday for fun. It [...]
The Importance of Family & Kid Portraits
I have had the privilege of photographing my friend Carolyn’s oldest son every year for the past three years and have been able to watch him grow. It is amazing how fast kids grow – if you don’t pay attention, you really could just miss the whole thing and wake up one day with a [...]
