Photo Shoot at Fenway Park!

I had the opportunity this summer to shoot a family portrait session inside of Fenway Park! I’m not actually a fan (of any sports team, really), but it was still very cool to get into the Park while it was mostly empty and go out on the field and behind the scenes a bit! It was so fun to photograph a family here! I can’t share those images with you, but I thought I’d share a few of my faves of the Park. For all of you Boston Red Sox fans out there, these are for you :)

My first Red Sox Game!

One of my best friends was just in town for a few days for a family reunion that I got to photograph. Later that week they all headed down to Boston for a Red Sox – Indians game and invited me along. I’d never been to a Red Sox game and never been to Fenway, so I was pretty excited to go! When we were younger, Marietta got me into the Braves and I followed them for years… until they traded David Justice to the Indians and I decided it just wasn’t worth caring about a team if the owners were just going to split them up! I mean, jeez! (Clearly, I’m more of a people person than a team person) So, I’m not really a fan of any sports team anymore – though I always root for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and occasionally the Colts. But I’m fascinated by sports fans and am always up for people-watching at a game & hanging out with friends :)

Austin got a little sleepy on the walk to the park. You’ll notice he & his Daddy are Indians fans. That’ll happen when you’re from Ohio…

That baby is too cute!

Me & “Mommy”

I pretty much just want to kiss those cheeks all the time!

Fenway did not disappoint!

The only part of the game that I even remember was this huge fight that broke out when the Indians pitcher hit a guy with the ball, like for the 3rd time…

Just for fun, here’s a few photos of Marietta & I over the years…. hehe :]

Marietta & I met doing synchronized swimming. Our first routine was a duet we swam together. We were pretty cute, huh? (~1987)

My first professional baseball game! Rooting for the Braves at Cincinnati (1994)

And here we are now… Times have definitely changed, but it’s so wonderful to have friends who have known you for most of your life!!!

Britt & Mike – mini eSession

I got an email from Britt earlier this summer. She was looking for a photographer for her wedding next May on the Cape, and she wanted to see if she could set up a time to meet with me and do their engagement session while they were in town. How can you not love a bride who’s ready to book her eSession before she’s even met you in person!?!

Britt & Mike live in D.C. but were coming to town for some wedding planning, and a visit with Britt’s family. They’re big baseball fans, and Britt loves those Red Sox, so we met up at Boston Beer Works by Fenway to talk wedding plans, look at albums, and get to know each other a bit before their eSession. We had a great time chatting and laughing (or gagging) over Britt’s fried pickles ;) It turns out we have a lot in common and it was more like hanging out with old friends than having a meeting with new clients. So, after we’d hung out for a while we decided to head outside to shoot for while before we got caught in the rain…

Mike loves the Orioles, Britt loves the Red Sox – somehow they’ve worked through it and still love each other :)

I love how much they make each other laugh

and how he’s all whole head taller than her!

and I love the views around Fenway!

We had to include a few shots with thier “baby,” Tessa :)

At this point we’d only been shooting for about 15 or 20 minutes and the drizzle was really dampening our spirits, and my camera equipment. So, we decided to hold off and finish our engagement session the next time they’re in town. It may not be until the holidays, but I’m looking forward to some snowy engagement photos of Mike & Britt later this year :)

Thanks again you guys for a fun, albeit short afternoon! I’m really excited to work with you and get to know over the next few months!! And I’m praying that you both passed the bar :)
