My parents live outside Charlotte. Both their children and grandchildren live in Massachusetts and have never lived in Charlotte. We get to spend a week in Emerald Isle, NC with them, and since my sister and I married Yankees that means the best chance for everyone to spend Christmas morning together is if Mom and […]

I love starting engagement sessions in people’s homes. When you’re trying to make pictures meaningful and intimate it sure helps when that is present in every part of the frame. Kate and Alec live in Coolidge Corner, so after steeling our nerves with a beer we ventured out to explore their neighborhood. I don’t think […]
For 10 years now I’ve lived in relentlessly cold climates. I’ve heard from others about winter hobbies and their importance to get through months of ice and darkness. But I never implemented what I learned from those with snowshoes. Hunkering down and returning to the human race once you remember what grass looks like is […]
Was this our 4th trip to Providence? I think it was. Each year a few Boston photographers head south to meet up with our Rhode Island brethren in these winter months when our schedules are more manageable (previous trips documented here and here). We always start at the RISD museum, but this year we were there for 30 […]
Brooke and I met in this car. Sort of. There was a three-month e-mail courtship before she picked me up at the airport and drove me to a job interview two hours away. We’ve filled up the tiny cargo space with presents and spent several Christmas mornings driving between families in this car. When the […]
I just heard we’re getting more snow. Perhaps now would be a good time to journey back towards fall, a time of year when the light is still warm and our outlook on life a little brighter. Reminders of sunshine from this 9Tailors shoot might help to carry us through March where hopefully spring will […]
The summer we moved into our house I bought a snow blower to clear the large driveway in the winter months. Well over a year went by before I had an excuse to use it, but the machine came in handy this weekend. If I never use it again I can say it was worth […]
This post excludes some good, really good, and damn good moments that I’ve fallen in love with over the past year. Below are a few of the best images that worked well together in this space to quickly convey how spectacular 2012 was. I met so many great people and felt so privileged to bear […]
You’ve heard me talk about it before. If you want to experience the beauty of summer’s most popular destinations it helps to go in winter. Brooke and I spent a week on Wellfleet Harbor with an incredible view on one side of us and a crackling fireplace on the other. We were lucky to have Brooke’s […]
Pilar and Aaron were married at St. Ignatius with their reception at the Harvard Club on the eve of New Year’s Eve. Although the new year wasn’t technically ushered in that evening, there was still a sense of celebration and new beginnings. Many of Pilar’s family traveling from Columbia experienced snow for the first time, and […]
