Nikki & Evan Go To Prom – Burlington, MA

My friends Nikki & Evan went to prom a few weeks ago, and Evan had arranged to have come over to her house early to take some photos as a surprise. It was awesome seeing her face as I pulled up to the house (no pics of that, it’s not safe to shoot & drive, you know). They’re such good friends, and I thought it was just so sweet of him to do this for her!

The official “Prom Pose”

They had lots of friends around to get in on the fun!

I had a bit of competition…

We all went over to the Town Common where all the kids come before prom for photos… it was a zoo!

A few of my favorite details from the night

A few final portraits before they headed off for the night

And I had to jump in there for a shot :)

On their way!

Nikki & Evan – I hope you guys had a blast! Love you guys! :)

Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah Portraits – Larz Anderson Park, Brookline

Last Fall, I had the opportunity to photograph Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah. The event was so fun, and we even shot some portraits the day before – but the weather that weekend was gross and we just didn’t get the bright sunny portraits we were hoping for. So, we picked a nice Spring day and tried again! This time we got sunshine…. cold winds, but sunshine! It’s hard to get the weather quite right in New England in the Spring ;) But I love how these turned out!

The adorable Zoe

Sisters… Annika, Zoe & Sivan

The whole fam

Jody, Paul, Zoe, Annika & Sivan – thanks for braving the cold and making the session for fun! I hope you all love the photos!

Nikki’s Senior Photos – Beverly MA

Up until this summer, I’d never shot Senior Photos. It just never seemed to come up, and I wasn’t really putting any energy into trying to get those gigs. So, when one of the girls from my church asked if I could shoot her Senior Portraits, I was totally excited to try something new! Nikki’s a sweet girl, and I knew it would be a fun time hanging out with her – plus she’s totally photogenic and made it easy for me ;) So we headed up to Lynch Park in Beverly to shoot for the afternoon and had a great time!

Check out those green eyes of hers! Woah!

She’s so cute :)

This building with it’s chipping paint is my favorite thing about Lynch Park. I was kinda sad to see that they were starting to repaint it!!

This is what would happen when I’d tell her to give me a “serious face” … hahaha!

This one’s been a crowd favorite on Facebook…

Nikki, you’re awesome! I’m glad you were my very first Senior Photo shoot!! I hope you love the photos! :)

Hope For the Children of Haiti – the girls

If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I went to Haiti in May/June to document the work of Hope For The Children Of Haiti. I’ve held off on blogging about it because I wanted to focus on getting the first few weddings up first. That, and I’ve got like a zillion pictures I’d like to share, so I had to take the time to narrow it down a bit.

I’m finally ready and I thought I’d start with the girls at HFC. There are about 30 of them, ranging from 8 -17 years old. It took a while for them to warm up to me, and to stop running away from my camera, but it was really fun getting to know them. And it was a great reminder that teenagers are teenagers, no matter what country you’re in :)

Here are a few of my favorites of the girls!

waiting to be introduced to the visiting photographer …

hanging in their room – giggling and having fun

Aw, Debbie, she’s such a sweetheart. And would you get a load of those eyes!! Gorgeous!

Wislandy, the baby of the crew. Such a cutie!

Listening intently to a sex-ed talk. Their eyes aren’t glassed over or anything ;)

Chrystel… Little Miss Attitude and the woman in charge (if you ask her). But, I found her in this nice moment doing chores where she was all alone, and let her guard down a bit, and I almost got a smile.

Fabiola hanging out the back of the Tap Tap (it’s basically a pick-up truck with a metal cage on top to keep the passengers safe, or dry)

And, last but not least, Nerline. This girl ran and hid from my camera the ENTIRE time I was in Haiti! On the last day, I had had enough, and I stalked her relentlessly until I got a couple photos of her before she saw me. Somehow, this made her love me dearly. Go figure :) So, here we are, right before I left to go home. She couldn’t stop hugging me and even cried when I left. That’s what I love about teenagers… they’re totally unpredictable.

I wish I could share more with you all, and tell you stories about each and every one of the girls – but there just isn’t enough time in the day! :)
