Sneak Peek: Charlotte & Phillip {engagement: boston, ma}

So after a long visit with my parents and a family wedding in CT, I got up nice and early to come in to Boston for a shoot with Charlotte & Phillip.  When they booked the engagement shoot and said they wanted to do it at Boston University I got super excited!  The area around Marsh Chapel is bursting with great architecture and fantastic landscaping.  We probably could have spent the entire afternoon there if it wasn't a thousand degrees out!!  Charlotte really wanted a picture in front of a red door...so we searched and searched and eventually we found it.  The two of them had tons of spectators while we took this shot and it really helped them relax and have a little fun!  I can't wait to show you more!!

Marvelyn {portrait : boston}

SPRING IS HERE!  My smile is bigger than Rupert's after a game of football!  Yesterday was Patriot's Day, a.k.a Marathon Monday, a fantastic Massachusetts holiday where everyone floods the streets of Boston to catch a view of the people who think it's fun to run 26 miles...I tried a 5k once...ya once...no thanks!  Anyways, I fought my way on to a T and got myself down to the Christian Science Center, just feet from the marathon finish line...and I met Marvelyn.  Marvelyn is pretty well known around these parts, staring in numerous Company One shows as well as helping you to your seat at my personal favorite, Blue Man Group.  We've known each other for years and recently she whispered in my ear that she was going to South Korea for a whole year!  I'm very sad to see her go, but I hope these images bring her much success as she travels the world and continues her already prosperous acting career.  Much love Marv!  I will miss you tons and tons :)

Casey's Top 40! {boston.com: boston, ma}

Does anyone out there remember Casey Kasem?  Well, I do.  I remember sitting by the radio all morning as he counted down the latest and greatest tunes.  I was a radio junky...I used to record the radio on cassette tape.  These days, I rarely listen to the radio because my life, like so many others, has been taken over by Apple.  I've got the iMac, the iPod-mini, the iTouch and somewhere in the depths of my backpack rests a Shuffle...  My point: Today I found out I was a top 40 finalist in a photography contest on www.boston.com and I immediately started humming "Caseeeey's Top Forrr-ty".  This is such an honor as I am desperately trying to redesign my life around something I love so much.  There were 190 entries and one guy (shown here with his pooch Alex) thought I had something.  Thank you Philip Greenspun!  Tomorrow they will announce the top ten, but I don't much care (even though it would be totally awesome!).  I'm just excited to have made it this far!
This photo was taken on a cold January evening just as I was finishing up a homework assignment.  I just loved how I was seeing the car lights shine off in the distance and blur slightly from the cold tears dripping from my eyes.  I wanted to capture it on "film".  In the foreground is a bench, but the focus is the big balls of light sparkling in the distance and reflecting off the water.
