Darcy & Steve's Wedding Album

Smith Family Beach Portraits

Just love doing beach portraits. Always good fun! Plus the Smiths' are some of my favorite people so it was an easy gig. :)

These Rhode's are water loving folk so we took there boat to the mouth of the Narragansett River for an early morning session. Here are a few of my favorites.

Ellis Family Portraits & Senior Session

First a Family Portrait & then a Senior Session. Good fun with Melody Ellis and her family.

Really enjoyed shooting Thomas for his H.S. portrait. The light was great at that time of the evening and made a perfect golden hair light & second light. Very cool! :)

Engagement Session

August 16th is just around the corner and I am really happy that Alexi, Robert & I were able to find time to do an engagement session in Boston. I really enjoy these sessions as it gives me an opportunity to work with my couples before the big day. They can get use to my babbling and strange sense of humor and I discover which of them will need a little more prompting on the wedding day. A great deal of comfort is created in both directions.

Happily both Alexis & Robert enjoy being in front of the camera and I didn't say anything inappropriate the entire session! :) A very successful evening in the Public Gardens.

Here are a few images from our time together.

Raffle Winners from the Mansfield Fun Walk

Another great time at the Funwalk here in Mansfield. Saw lots of old friends and clients walking the streets of downtown Mansfield and bunches of new friends too. The evening heat which started out pretty oppressive was nice and comfortable after dusk.

Thanks to all that participated in the raffle. Here are our three winners:

Grand Prize Winner of a portrait session and a $50.00 print credit is...Yvette of Frances Ave Mansfield. I would put her full name here but my brain is really soggy and Yvette's handwriting got a little smudged in transit. :) I will try on the phone tomorrow.

First Prize winner of the $100 gift certificate is Jennifer Stratton of Marshall Ave in Mansfield.

Second Prize winner of the $50.00 gift certificate is Jenn Silverman of South Main Street in Mansfield.

Congratulations to all you Winners! I look forward to meeting you soon.

Happy Independence Day!

Congratulations to Gretchen & Ryan Conlon whose wedding I was lucky enough to photograph on July Fourth at the Officers Club in Newport, RI. It was a bit gray and overcast, not to mention hot & muggy, but it was a lovely time and we got some beautiful images.

Thank you to the Bridesmaids for being such a lovely group and tough enough to climb a huge boulder in Narragansett Bay for our portraits. They went above and beyond for the Bride & I. Happily it was low-tide and a swim was not required! :)

From the Officers Club you could see fireworks everywhere. Both sides of the bridge were lit up as well as towns up and down the shoreline. A very nice way to enjoy the evening. Thanks for inviting me!

Cullaz & Aveni Family Portraits

It had absolutely poured earlier in the day and I was sure this session was not going to happen. But the sky cleared and the sun came out and it turned out to be a lovely evening for portraits. It also helps to have beautifully landscaped grounds and a good-looking family, but - it's all about the light! :)

Thanks for inviting me into your home. I had a great time and hope we can get together again soon.

Monday's can be fun!

Had the opportunity to due a few portraits of my good friend Valerie Larsen the other day and jumped at the chance. Valerie is an excellent photographer with a lovely studio in Norton, MA.

Val wanted to show off her new 'body by gym' and I figured it would be a good way to start off a Monday morning! :)

I appreciate that Val knew I would be discrete and professional while artistically capturing her form. Thank you. Fortunately for everyone Val will be doing a more traditional portrait of me and my family with the arrival of our Baby Girl at the end of the summer.

Here are a couple images from the session. The rest of the images are for Valerie only!
