L'Andana Grill - Greater Boston Wedding Photography

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:40:53 EDT

The studio's first wedding of the year was amazing! We started in at the church in Winchester and moved to one of my favorite northshore wedding venues, L'Andana Grill in Burlington. Heysel and Mike chose to do a post wedding portrait session in the Boston Public Garden, we got the perfect day and ended on a beautiful note. Check out this new technique blending photo and video in this slideshow. Enjoy!

Loved this newborn and family session with baby George and his big sister recently! Had a lot of fun with this one! If you are looking for creative and modern newborn baby portraits, the best age is 5-10 days.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS - Record #3 Studio Photos

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:52:41 EST

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.

Outdoor Family Portraits

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:55:23 EDT

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!

The Perfect Newborn Session

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 19:28:06 EDT

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!

Jodi & Tim 06.02.11 - Fort Point Boston Engagement Portraits

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:41:29 EDT

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!

Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:49:09 EDT

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!
