Happy New Year

Well, 2009 was a good year and I built myself a nice collection of images this year. The end of the year is a great time to reflect on what I've done for the year and set targets and goals for 2010. Here's a link to a slideshow of some of my favorite images from 2009

From the slideshow, I've pulled 3 or 4 of my absolute favorite images of the year! Thanks to all those folks who've helped make my year both enriching and successful!!

Happy 2010 to everyone and I hope the new year brings you great things!

Trash The Dress

The Worcester Photography Center descended on Oakland Beach in Rhode Island one summer day for a large Trash The Dress event. The event included a combination of models wearing gowns both donated and purchased for the event, as well as real brides willing to get down and dirty in their own gowns that they had worn to be married in. The idea behind the event is to get the sort of bridal imagery that most brides will never get due to them being unwilling to get their dress dirty. Well, these ladies not only got dirty, they got wet as well! Here are a few images from the event.

Amanda and Ben are married

Mandy and Ben got married in Dennis in a lovely ceremony at the Dennis Yacht club on a very lovely day! Of course, they wanted pictures on the beach at 2pm, but Cait and I were able to handle it no problem! Here's a few images from the wedding.

The lovely Emily

Here are a few images from a couple different sessions with the lovely Emily T. These images were shot both outdoors, on location, as well as in the studio. The studio shots were taken at Lens Pro To Go studios in Concord, MA.

Leah S

Had a session with Leah that was also in the same shopping plaza and the session with Irma. Shot mostly natural light, using the buildings as reflectors, though mixed in a little fill flash when it was required. Here are a couple of my favorite images from the day.

A session with Irma

Did a lifestyle session with the lovely Irma this fall in an urban setting. We actually shot around a strip mall, using the buildings and shade to our advantage. Here are a few of my favorite images;

Boudoir Shoot with Kristy

Did a boudoir session with Kristy in the studio, here are some of the results!

Film Noir

A couple friends of mine and I had the idea to do a photoshoot inspired by the film noir genre. I had the idea to tell a 3 panel story "Death of a Cheat" with the following 3 images, along with the final triptych. This was all shot with 1 or 2 hard lights with tight spots throwing light only where I wanted it.








After telling the story, it was time to just play around a little and get some additional photos.
