Be merry
Love these two in their Christmas card shoot from earlier this fall. This one didn’t make the card, but is one of my favorite outtakes! I love Christmas cards and everything about them. I love the letters, and the sentiments. I love the photos from the first time pet or baby parents. I love the…
Read MoreIsland Farm Sessions
Family portrait season is in full effect, and when I see families tickling each other in the grass, I am always reminded just how much I LOVE these sessions. I like to think it isn’t too painful to come and do photos with me, even if no one really wants to put on fresh clothes…
Read MoreThe Hank & Willie Annual Holiday Photo Fix
Photo and original card design courtesy of smugmug.com. Card available at smugmug.com. Cute dog not available, sadly. Sigh. I take THOUSANDS of photos a year. Beautiful babies and blushing brides. Captivating kids and their patient parents and pretty pets. Did I say THOUSANDS? You’d think I could get ONE keeper of my own offspring, but…
Read MoreKatryne + Kevin: Married in Rhode Island
There is hardly anything better than a fall wedding in New England, unless it is a small, intimate fall wedding in New England. Katryne and Kevin hosted the loveliest event on October 23, and every detail echoed them, from Katryne’s signature hot pink accents everywhere (even on the guests), the black and white rocks they’ve…

Mothers of boys, have you SPENT any time with girls recently? I’ve been hanging out with a number of lovely girls of late, and I have to say, I had no idea they were like this. Despite a tired sub-two-year-old young lady, I think we had a winning shot about, oh, 20 seconds after we…

Read MoreScenes from Halloween (and a 50 mm 1.2)
A trip to the apple orchard this morning and a midday snack (mysteriously delivered to our doorstep by one of our favorite ghouls) made for great subject material while I was experimenting with the Canon 50 mm 1.2 today–the most delicious of all lenses. Yum. This lens is NUTS. Almost as delicious as the candy…
Read MoreEverything’s rosy
How can you not love this many red roses, especially on a rainy day? This gray wedding day by the sea in Stonington, CT turned out to be lovely and bright in all the right ways. We didn’t even need the umbrellas. Happy love, Vikki & Tim, and thanks for a great day!
Read MoreMe and Stanley (Cup)
Well, imagine my delight this evening when I opened up my email to find a video clip of me, hard at work, at the Stanley Cup party in Newport, RI this summer. It was sent by the talented and charming Mike Cyr of Buzz Media Company, who was shooting alongside us that hot steamy day…
Read MoreBeach boys
These cute brothers started out high and dry on a grassy lawn at this beautiful stone lighthouse, but as soon as we headed across the street to the beach, well, you can probably guess how dry they stayed. Good thing they wear nearly the same sizes as my crew at home, so they could proceed…
