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!

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!
