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!

Congratulations to Erin & Rob!

Yup, got to attend another wedding as a guest. This time on June 21st. Haven't attended a wedding w/o working for a few years but in 2008 I have three! It is certainly going to be difficult to match the beauty and the fun of Erin & Rob's wedding.

Imagine if you will a beautiful beach surrounded by friends and family and exchanging vows as the waves lap on the shore. Then an all night party starts with one of the most amazing sunsets ever. Pretty cool! :)

We truly love Erin & Rob here at JfsPhoto and couldn't be more happy for them. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of their celebration. Thank you!

Can't wait to see the images from the working photog. I forget his name and my online searches have not turned up the right husband and wife team but I will find them. Once I do they will be linked here.

Here are some of my favorite images from the weekend. They should all be posted online very shortly.

Mansfield Family Fun Walk

The Mansfield Downtown Business Association has organized the Family Fun Walk for Tuesday July 8th starting at 6pm. This is a great opportunity to stroll North Main Street and check out some of the new shops that have come to town. Plus there will be live music and food for sale up and down the street.

For the third year in a row will be participating and showing off some of our new products. If you stop by please be sure to enter our free raffle to win a family portrait session plus other prizes.

The prize winners will be announced here on the blog later on that night. Here is a link to the event flyer. Hope to see you there!

Congratulations Kate & Dave!

Went to an awesome wedding back on oh-six 0h-seven oh-eight of our lovely friends Kate & Dave Saraceno. Happily I wasn't working this event because it was incredibly hot and hanging out by the bar seemed a lot more fun! Didn't bring my trusty Canon 5d b/c I wanted to have a good time but couldn't resist bring along the point-shoot - my Fujifim 460. Takes pretty good picture after you have explored all the different program options and don't set your expectations to high! :) Here's a couple of shots!

Congrats again Kate & Dave!

My lucky table with the lovely ladies of McKinsey & Co.

We are moving!

Actually at this point we have completely moved out of our commercial space! :) I loved the studio at 185 N.Main in Mansfield but it could be a little snug at times. Those who were lucking enough to join us at the studio can testify to that! At least the bunny for the Easter photography sessions couldn't hop to far.

For the foreseeable future I will be meeting clients at my 'residential studio' set up at my home. My commute just improved incredibly! :)

Le Studio Danse

Visited my neighbors across the street at Le Studio Danse at
184 North Main St Mansfield, MA 02048 (508) 339-7666. The studio is owned and run by Valerie Brunetti and has been town landmark as the businesses come and go in our busy downtown.

When I wandered in Valerie and the ladies were practicing for an up coming show at the Foxboro High School. They were good enough to let me hang around and capture some images. Take a look!

Val and the ladies!
