I recently had the opportunity to travel out to the west coast to work with my good friends in BOYS LIKE GIRLS while they are in the studio recording their third album. What a trip!

The studio is unreal, I couldn't believe my eyes. Once the initial shock of the location wore off, it was time to get to business and shoot some photos.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS is back, let's leave it at that. The new record sounds more mature, more organic, more real than anything I have heard from them before. Good ol', real American music is the gist of it. Some classic BLG thrown in there for good measure, but the new organic music is what really made me intrigued. You will have to wait for the record to come out to hear the music, but for now let's let some photos do the talking.

I had a lot of fun with this gallery, there is more to come. Enjoy this behind the scenes look into BOYS LIKE GIRLS third album.

On June 17th, 2011 I had the opportunity to photograph the Andover Youth Services "Keep it Wild" Fashion Show at Old Town Hall in Andover, MA. Many kids from local area Middle and High School's came together to design and model their custom fashion designs. A great collaboration of many people turned into a great show for all!

For all of the models and designers who have been asking about the photographs, they are now available on our Facebook Page at: http://www.facebook.com/DanGillanPhotography

Enjoy!

Cara & Franco's wedding was an iconic Boston wedding, it was a pleasure to be their wedding photographer! They got ready at the Marriott Warf Hotel, the ceremony was at St. Leonard's Church in the North End, the bridal party took a nice photo walk through the North End and Downtown for some great shots and we ended with a reception at the New England Aquarium. All in all an amazing day for an amazing couple! Congrats to both of you and thanks!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph an amazing wedding at the Boston Museum of Science and have to share some of these photos. What a unique venue for a wedding! Great couple, great wedding. I had a lot of fun with this one!

We got the perfect evening for "Golden Hour" outdoor family portraits for Brogan's 2 year portraits. These were photographed at The Steven Coolidge Place in North Andover, MA, a beautiful location for some unique family portraits! Outdoor sessions can be a great way to change up from a typical indoor studio family portrait. For family portrait photography in Andover or the greater Boston and New England area, give me a call!

Got very lucky with this newborn photography session! Congratulations to Christina and her family! They dove up from Boston, Massachusetts to my studio in Andover for our newborn baby portraits. This baby was perfect! Not a peep the whole 4 hour session, just slept like a rock, you just can't ask for better. This gave us a chance to get a very unique gallery of images. Some of my favorite recent newborn portraits for sure! Enjoy!

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking engagement photographs of Jodi & Tim in Fort Point, Boston. This was the day after the tragic tornados hit in Western Massachusetts so we were a bit concerned about the weather, but ended up having a beautiful (although quite windy) day complete with dramatic skies. Can't ask for much better! We bounced around from the harbor to alleys to bridges and more. This session was the perfect chance to better get to know Jodi & Tim before their wedding in October at The Four Seasons in Boston. Looking forward to it!

First full wedding of 2011 and man was it a fun one! Xiyan & Kevin chose The Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA for their venue. Rustic and classy, elegant and beautiful but very unique, Willowdale was perfect for this amazing couple. I had a lot of fun as the photographer at this wedding and I hope you enjoy the photos!

It's senior portrait season! Having fun outdoors. Enough of the boring old tradional Senior pictures!

Here's a preview of Jordan's urban industrial senior portraits.

I'm now booking high school senior sessions from Andover High School and Phillips Academy.

I wanted to share this gallery preview for Danielle and her adorable son Danny. We had a very fun session today, this is just a small bunch of the amazing shots we got. Can't help but to crack up and smile for this guy, he was a riot. Lot's of fun.
