Boston Baby Photographer | Annika at 3 months

Wow, its finally Summer! I have been very busy lately with sessions and weddings (both photographing them and about to be in two this summer)! I photographed 3 month old little Annika back in the Spring in Watertown. Romil and Caitlin’s house was wonderfully decorated in a mid century modern style – I wish I could have had the day to shoot there! Three months can be a tricky time to photograph – not as small and sleepy as a newborn, but yet not able to sit up on their own either. Annika was a total gem though – she was happily held by Mom and Dad (and Grandma!) and was quite content to lounge on the couch and check me out. Caitlin had a gorgeous piece of Marimekko fabric that we worked into the session for a great pop of color.

Thanks for a fantastic photography session Romil, Caitlin and Annika!undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

She’s so alert and expressive- what a cutie! Love your bright, fresh colors in these, too!

Love these and the color is fantastic!

Laura Stoddard - July 5, 2011 - 11:26 am

Beautiful Taz! I love the colors and interactions you captured!

What an ADORABLE baby. Yes, 3 month sessions can be so difficult. Little Annika gave you so much to work with. I love all of these pics. I absolutely adore the first one with her mom.

What a beautiful family! I love your lighting in these…you need to go BIG with these portraits.

Laurie Terry - July 7, 2011 - 2:24 pm

What a little cutie. I just love all your vibrant colors and patterns. These are beautiful baby portraits.

Love everything about this session! The bright colors and happy expressions say it all. So cute!

Newborn Photographer AZ - August 6, 2011 - 12:35 pm

The pic with the baby’s arms out in blue should be in a magazine. It is perfect! I hope the parents have it huge on their wall.

Bekah & Bobby | Engaged Couples Photography in Boston

As wedding season rapidly approaches, I wanted to share this engagement session I shot of Bekah & Bobby in the Fall in Boston. Bobby was a trooper as the shoot was scheduled during a Patriots game – though he did sneak in a few score updates on his phone ;)

We walked through Boston Common to the Public Gardens on one of the last nice days of the season, perfect for an E Session. I love the golden light in these! Aren’t they adorable? I’m very excited to photograph their wedding in July – going to be a great night!

Great images! Looks like a fun couple.

What wonderful engagement portraits. I love the one of him kissing her temple. So sweet.

aww.. sweet couple! Congrats to them on their upcoming wedding. Cannot wait to see the images from that!

The light on these images is just beautiful! What a great looking couple!

beth - May 23, 2011 - 8:46 pm

Love this series. The second image is my favorite but they are all terrific!

Ellen | Kalamazoo Baby Photographer - May 24, 2011 - 6:20 pm

Lovely light and colors, and you captured the connection between them so well. Looking forward to seeing the wedding images!

These are gorgeous! Love your lighting, posing, and colors!

What a beautiful couple. You showcased their chemistry so well. Her eyes are to die for green!

laura stoddard - May 26, 2011 - 9:47 pm

beautiful images! They have such a natural, loving feel to them. Great job!

Laurie Terry - May 31, 2011 - 5:07 pm

Wow, what gorgeous smiles these too have. I just love your lighting and the vivid colors you captured. GORGEOUS!

Karen Thaemert - June 6, 2011 - 9:22 am

These are terrific. :) It’s such a beautiful location and I just love the connection you captured. I bet she’ll make a beautiful bride.

What a happy couple, and beautiful locations! Nice work!

Robb | High School Senior Boy

Its nearly that time of year again – graduation day is around the corner and soon a new class of seniors will rule the school. I took these senior pictures of Robb at the end of last summer, just before he started his senior year. In another month and a half he will be graduating, I can hardly believe it! These senior portraits are especially fun for me as Robb is my cousin, and it was awesome to have the opportunity to hang out for a couple hours to shoot these. I know senior pictures may not be high on the priority list for an 18 year old guy, but I promise to make it as painless as possible :) Boston area juniors – you should start thinking about where you want to have your senior pictures taken and schedule an appointment over the summer to be on track for your yearbook deadline. I love shooting senior sessions and going to different locations or incorporating your sports gear, instruments, or other items that make you –well you!

Taz, these are great. He looks so comfortable in these images and he looks like he is having so much fun.

Ellen - May 4, 2011 - 6:04 pm

Wonderful senior portraits- full of color and personality! He has such a great, natural smile in these- you can tell you made it painless for him!

Karen Thaemert - May 5, 2011 - 10:39 am

I bet he loved these, Taslim! Congratulations to him on his upcoming graduation.

Laurie Terry - May 5, 2011 - 11:20 am

He has the most awesome smile! Love it. And, for a guy to bring wonderful colors of clothing is almost unheard of. Mom must have coached him. LOL Very nice.

Dianna - Columbus Ohio photographer - May 6, 2011 - 10:01 pm

Great senior pictures!

Love these. Great Job!

Melissa Butscher - May 10, 2011 - 10:24 pm

Love them- he looks so relaxed and genuine in all of them!

These are awesome senior portraits! Great job!

He looks so natural and relaxed. Great job!

Saying Hi

So, I’ll admit, its been awhile. Things got crazy around the holidays and I let my little corner of the web sit quietly for a bit. This year one of my resolutions was to take more personal images – I always have the camera in hand for clients and then tend not to take it out with me when I’m not working (you know what they say about the cobblers children having no shoes??) – and I plan to blog my favorites here.

So I have a slew of session images to share (some dating back to the summer!) but I figure you’ve waited this long, what’s a few more days.. and so instead I’m going to share some ‘personal’ images I took while on a recent shoot with Bentley University in New York City. (And yes I do understand the irony of this Boston photographer sharing two posts in a row with photos from New York!) Long story short I ended up at theMartha Stewart Show and was so happy we could take pictures before and after the taping.

I am a fan of all things home, food and crafty and so excited to be there. Of course, all the days that I could go to the show and the topic is.. wordworking! haha. I got a lovely magazine and DVD on woodworking and on building your own canoe – can’t say I plan to tackle that DIY anytime soon! The guest star that day was Nick Offerman, from the show Parks & Recreation, who is an avid wordworker.

I was so enamored by the set and details – though how rude there were video cameras, lights, and boom arms in my shots! ;) Here are a few grab shots from the pre/post taping – including a couple of Martha.

A little reminder that yes, you are going to be on TV…

The set – a ‘kitchen’, ‘craftroom’ and ‘greenhouse’, all beautifully styled. And look at all those lights!

A loved this little craft station! Martha knows its all about the details.

I also loved the paper and ribbons on rods in the background

Nick Offerman practicing his segment during pre taping

Martha answering a few audience questions after the show

The guy to the right of Martha is her brother, also a guest on the show

Stay tuned this week for some favorites from one of my Summer sessions – need sunny images to make me forget we are getting another 2 ft of snow dumped on us today!

Sonja Clark - February 10, 2011 - 12:42 pm

That is soooo cool! I’m still un-burying myself from the holiday season. Just started blogging again too. Can’t wait to see more!

How fun! I love Martha.

Sonja Clark - April 28, 2011 - 4:03 pm

Wow, how cool is that??

Laurie Terry - May 12, 2011 - 11:49 am

I’m so jealous…that would have been an awesome experience. I want my craft room to look exactly like her set..fully stocked too! I’m so glad you had this wonderful experience.

Laurie Terry - May 12, 2011 - 11:50 am

I’m so jealous.. what a wonderful experience for you. I want my craft room to look exactly like her set, fully stocked too. Great pictures documenting your trip.

laura stoddard - May 12, 2011 - 2:26 pm

so jealous too…. i would love to see her show. thanks for sharing!

I’m so jealous. Looks like so much fun.

Audra & EJ | Married!

So excited to share this wedding – what an amazing day! I got to travel to New York, perfect September weather, beautiful location at the Hollow Brook Golf Club, and not to mention an insanely gorgeous bride and groom! I have a slew of images to share so enough blabbing and I’ll get to the good stuff.

I started the day with the ladies while they prepped and primed. Love Audra’s bling – good job EJ ;)

Well hello there gorgeous

Here comes the bride, isn’t she radiant?

No, make that STUNNING

Love this one with Mom and her sister, a pre wedding pep talk

Shake it baby!

Looking lovely ladies…

Of course, the guys were not looking too shabby themselves

Audra and EJ opted to do a First Look (LOVE when couples do that!) – a sweet, exciting, happy moment unlike any other

They had a photobooth at their wedding which was SO cool, and of course I took advantage of that

Just one more portrait before she walks down the aisle

Audra and EJ wrote their own vows and had the guests laughing, crying, and celebrating right along with them. I’m a crier (anyone else cry when watching Say Yes to the Dress?) and I fought to hold back tears.

LOVED the colors – so bright and fun at the reception. Thanks to Alice at Petals by Alice for her lovely floral arrangements.

And then it was time to party the night away!

Audra and EJ, thanks for being so awesome and sharing your day with me! Can’t wait to show you the rest of your images :)

Tiffany - October 26, 2010 - 10:28 am

Kate - October 26, 2010 - 10:32 am

Alison Stumpf | SW MN Photography - October 28, 2010 - 11:55 pm

I was going to say that second one had a retro feel…and then the further I got they DEFINITELY have that feeling and I love em! COOL! Or should I say “SWELL!?”

Gorgeous couple, and beautiful, inspiring images! LOVE the feel.
