Nashira & Leon’s Wedding Slideshow
My photography is all about telling stories. I especially love photographing weddings because it’s a chance to tell a love story, which is my favorite kind of story! The storytelling aspect of a wedding is why I always include engagement photos with all of my wedding packages; getting to know the couple before their wedding [...]
The Evolution of Business
In 2007, I decided to change careers and enrolled in the New England School of Photography with the goal of becoming a professional photographer. I spent two hard (expensive) years learning the craft and technique of photography; how to make excellent pictures, how to work with varying light situations, how to maximize the features on [...]

Photo Camp!
Yesterday, I held “Photo Camp” – an afternoon of photo skills and creative exercises for middle-high school students. We were a little cold, but had a lot of fun and even got to enjoy some delicious hot chocolate! Teaching people how to make better pictures is rewarding for me, and its even better when I [...]
Photo Camp!

I did a week-long photo camp last summer with three high school students and it was such a blast. Last summer, we went to [...]

Visual Impact Photo
In addition to doing a LOT more food photography in the coming months (thanks to a new regular gig with Bostonchefs.com) I am also going to be doing much more photography for non-profit organizations. Another photographer and I have teamed up to create “Visual Impact Photography” which is a project of ours to help non-profit [...]
The Hardest Part
Turns out the hardest part about being in business as a photographer is not actually making good pictures. Don’t get me wrong, I know I have plenty to learn. But just because you know how to do something well — for example, taking pictures, cutting hair, fixing toilets — doesn’t mean you will be successful [...]

Information Saturation
I am a newbie when it comes to technology. As I confessed in an earlier post, I don’t even text on my cell phone! I don’t like spending hours surfing the web and reading blogs, I find Twitter kind of annoying and I only know what half of the icons do on a Facebook page. [...]

I have not been one to get too excited about Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and the millions of other ways that our lives are now constantly bombarded by technology. I don’t even have the ability to text on my cell phone! I know, barbaric. However, I am somewhat proud to say that I have succumbed to [...]
