Diane Arbus put her love for photography into the perfect words: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies”. I say bring on the cookies and while I am stuffing my face with sugary goodness I am also striving to capture the emotion, moments and love that is happening right in front of my lens.
I am a wife (newly wed!!!), a doggy momma and 6 feet tall. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but have found myself warming up to the new trend of leggings- almost as comfortable as yoga pants yet acceptable to be seen in public wearing. I love to travel and can't wait to get back to Scotland where my husband, Silas, and I spent our honeymoon. I love people and I love to talk. I hate to write, I'm a terrible speller (thank goodness for spell check). I am a wanna-be foodie and wineo.
I'm a pretty easy going person and I think that aspect of my personality really comes through in my style of photography. I'm not a photographer who poses you by coming up and moving your left arm here, your right arm like that, twist your head this way and that... I'm a little more hands off and a little more about you being you in front of the camera. When it comes down to it you are hiring me to capture YOU. Your life, your family, your wedding. The more I can do to make you comfortable and feel like yourself the better. You'll often hear me say things like "snuggle" to my couples or tell the kids to go kick a soccer ball in the yard for family photos.
I want to know you, we can grab a drink or have dinner at a local pub or just walk down the street to my favorite coffee shop but my goal is to get to know you just a little bit better so that when I'm capturing your life, be it your wedding day, engagement photos or family pictures that you are comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with you so that this camera in my hand isn't the main focus of the day. Capturing you and your life is.
So, hears to a joyous life full of love and beautiful art.Rebecca and Owen live on the cutest street in the South End. My assistant Lindsey (more about her and the fantasticness that she is very soon) and I traveled down to Boston on sunday to shoot these two love birds.
Rebecca and Owen are awesome! They are planning a “green” wedding. These two are trying to be as eco friendly as possible all the way down to eco friendly invitations and save the dates. No easy task I’m sure.
We spent the afternoon shooting near their apartment in the South End. Even though Rebecca isn’t a huge fan of having her photo taken, Owen helped her relax and have fun.
We started their shoot in this beautiful park. I took the image on the left and the one on the right is Lindsey’s. I love how we see the same things in totally different ways.
Rebecca is stunning! She has the soft sultry look down and then her smile lights right up!
I posted this one as the “just a taste” yesterday but I just LOVE it so I had to post it again
This is another one of Lindsey’s awesome images. I love the reflection in the old glass windows.
I love this old doorway.
Both of these are Lindsey’s shots. We have the steps and front doors and the back alley- and both are stunning!
Can’t you just tell how in love they are??
Thank you Rebecca and Owen so much for spending the afternoon wondering around the South End with us. I had a great time and am looking forward to your wedding in October!!!
