Boston’s waterfront

rachel — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:58:05 +0000

I am going through some film photos from 2009 and came across a few frames from the tall ships festival in Boston. The black and white image was from 120 film through a Holga camera. The color images are 135 film in a lomo fisheye toy camera.

I love the lady in orange posing for her photo with all the other people in the shot.

formal family portraits

The Rizi Family asked me to make some formal family portraits of them together before their youngest son Bijan headed out to college. Both Anita and Suzy were married this year, a few months apart, so it was the perfect opportunity to document them all together one last time before all of the kids head off in different directions. The family home in Palos Verdes, California made a fantastic backdrop.

holiday card designs…

We’ve been working hard to get through all the holiday projects for clients, and I have to say it’s been kind of fun to see which images everyone chooses for their holiday cards.

Check out the look on this one’s face. I call it “wonder.”

oh, you procrastinators!

We decided to leave the store open until NOON today (EST) in response to some of our favorite people procrastinating until the last minute, and a grandmum overseas who had some trouble placing an order last night.

I am in love with this sock monkey hat and scarf on etsy. This would make such a cute gift item for the children in your life!

Recent Mini Sessions

Here’s the latest batch of cuties from our mini sessions!

some more mini-sessions

rachel — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:36:58 +0000

We’ve been having such a good time doing these mini-sessions! Check out some recent families:

It’s always fun to have another photographer as a client. Kim has taken to hiring me for a family portrait around the holidays, after her first attempts at DIY family portraits did not produce the desired results. They had me do a full session on a weekday evening, and then took me out to dinner afterwards. Keep it classy, Kim and family!

I love the first image of little R chilling in the grass. The moment seems so zen.

The site Kim chose was a great place for photos – Rock Meadow Conservation Area in Belmont, MA.
