2009 in Review – Part IV

If there’s one thing I struggle to define in my business, it’s a portrait session. What is a portrait session? How many people does it include? How long should it take? Where should it be shot? What time of day? So many questions…are there any answers? I don’t think there is an easy way to…

Ashley & Josh – Post-wedding Portraits Revisited

So back in May, my sister Ashley and her husband Josh gave George and I the opportunity to do a post-wedding portrait session with them.  You may remember my previous blog on our adventures.  Well, we only shared a small portion of what we shot and we felt we should share some more images from…

Charlie the Cat

Last summer, George and I had the privilege of photographing Andrea and Matt’s wedding in Provincetown. It was, without a doubt, one of the most unique weddings we’ve ever shot. Guess what I wore? That’s right, shorts and a t-shirt. Andrea and Matt tied the knot at the top of one of the sand dunes…

A “Boring” New Year’s Eve

I can hear someone asking me the question already – "What did you do for New Year’s Eve?" My answer? I had dinner with an extension of my family, came home, watched a movie with my wife and wrote this blog. I can see the thought running through the person’s head already, "How boring!" Then…

Wedding Bliss and Abandonment

  Well, this blog is probably not about exactlywhat you would expect from the title. It is actually about a post-wedding shoot in an abandoned factory. Juxtaposition is the first word that comes to mind when I think of a bride in her wedding dress in an abandoned factory. The way Jen and Brandon ended…

Ken & Sara – Anniversary Portraits

My friend and fellow photographer, Ken-Shing Law,sent me an email to let me know that he was taking his lovely wife Sara to Newport, RI to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. As a gift, he wanted to surprise her with a portrait session. The plan was hatched and I was to meet them outside their…

Ken Polk: A Tribute

They met over 50 years agoat a roller skating rink of all places. Ken wanted to go to a different rink that night. Louise didn’t want to go at all. Each had someone to convince them otherwise. By the time they bumped into each other, another girl had already asked Ken to skate with him…

Lily Grace

I took a picture yesterday.It’s one of those pictures at which I can’t stop staring.  It’s nothing fancy.  It’s just a snap.  It just happens to be my almost six-month old daughter Lily Grace.  There’s just something about her eyes. I look at the picture and wonder what she’s thinking behind those gorgeous eyes. I…

O’Connor Family Portraits

Growing up, I always spent more time in the mountainsthan I ever did at the beach. Maybe my fair-skinned parents thought it was better for us all. Maybe they just didn’t like it. I don’t know. What I find ironic is that I now find myself at the beach all the time. Obviously, the beaches…
