One more before Portugal!

I’m sitting on my couch, minutes away from leaving for the Azores for my long overdue vacation and I can’t stop working! What can I say, I love this job. I had a fantastic weekend of boudoir sessions and wanted to share some photos from one of them before I left. This girl can move, which you can see in her pictures. She asked for dramatic looking photos, so I experimented a bit with lighting and black and white editing.

Okay, time for vacation! Back in a week.

 

 

 

Where’s Melissa?

 

After seven crazy months, I’m taking a vacation! I will be in the Azores, Portugal until Wed., Nov. 7.  I’ll be returning all e-mails when I return. Azores photos to come!

August wedding

Here are a few photos from an August wedding I shot with Ali. A windy day and a cathedral veil make for fun photos!

Family portrait

I had the pleasure to follow a young family a few weeks ago. They had such a great energy, which I think is quite evident in the photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at the Shaker Farms Country Club in Westfield, Mass. It was my first solo wedding (with the fabulous Alicia as my second shooter). We had the perfect wedding weather – cloudless skies, 70 degrees, and even a hint of foliage.

To all those wedding photographers out there who make it look so easy – bless you! It’s a full body work out – I’m still sore!

Here are a bunch from the wedding, including some Alicia took of me shooting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

September Boudoir

September’s been a busy month and I’m way behind on my blog! Here are a few shots from a recent boudoir session.
