The M family!

Introducing the M family! They wanted portraits done outside their home, as well as some pictures of the kids!







Melissa and David got married!

Melissa and David got married on a rainy day at the Coachman's Lodge in Bellingham, MA. They didn't let a little rain or drizzle affect them at all and still had a great time. Thanks Melissa and David for trusting me to photograph your big day!

Renee Marcou at Gillette Stadium

Local pop singer Renee Marcou was asked to sing the national anthem at the Patriots/Falcons game earlier this year. Having photographed her a couple times before, she asked me to come along and capture the moment for her on the field. Singing in front of 60,000 fans has got to be nerve wracking, but she rocked the stadium! Here are a few images from the event.

Charlotte and David got married!

Charlotte's been a friend of my wife's for a few years now and when she and David got married, they trusted me to capture their wedding. The wedding and reception were both at the Red Apple Farm in Philipston, MA. They had planned on an outdoor wedding but the weather didn't cooperate and the day was drizzly and overcast, but that didn't stop them from having a good time!

The reception hall had this old upright piano that was just beautiful, great place to set up the rings;

The rain let up enough to get a couple quick shots outdoors;


Then back under cover, out of the mist;

They're huge fans of The Simpsons, so of course you have to have an appropriate cake topper;

Christa looks great even in a paper bag!

One day, out with my wife, I came across a mannequin wrapped in brown paper and thought to myself that it was be cool to do that with a model. The idea was to do a fashion shoot without any actual fashion.

So, first I had to cast it and Christa Marie came to mind first. I'd worked with her before and thought this would fit her look nicely. I pitched her the idea and she was happy to not only get wrapped, but to work it like a real dress. Then, I found Kristin, of Go Bare in Worcester, to do makeup and help me style Christa.

Lastly, the folks at LensProToGo studios in Concord provided me with the location to do the shoot. They have a 5000 sq ft studio space with profoto lighting gear that I was able to use for the shoot.

Kristin did an amazing job on the makeup and styling;


And Christa worked it and tore it up, literally!








Lastly, the setup that Paul at LensProToGo provided;
