Since I'm on a roll. Well, definitely not on a roll, but posting, I'll share images from the fall on the BU campus. I think the highlight was seeing and photographing Will Lautzenheiser with his new arms. Amazing!
While he can't yet apply pressure to his arms, Will Lautzenheiser is still happy to demonstrate how he can now hug his partner Angle Gonzalez during a press conference to share the news of his successful bilateral arm transplant along with his surgeons Dr Matthew Carty, Dr. Simon Talbot, and Dr. Bohdan Pomahac (not pictured) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) November 25, 2014. Lautzenheiser, 40, who became a quad amputee in 2011 following a life threatening streptococcal infection received his new limbs from an anonymous donor in October.

I've been a bit neglectful of this here blog, so here is a little slideshow of some photos I shot for clients seeking holiday pics. Not wanting to share photos which clients might want to share themselves on their holiday cards, I decided to keep them to myself til after the new year. I think it's safe now. Also for your viewing pleasure is my own silly holiday card featuring my pup Harlow!
but you wouldn't know it to look at Jenny, Greg and Andy, because they dealt with our chilly session at the Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont like total troopers! This edit is a small one because I don't want to ruin the plot of their holiday cards. I especially like the first shot with Mr. Lion. I'm a fan of the inclusion of our stuffed friends.
I photographed little bitty Molly a few years ago and last weekend was time to hang at home with her new little brother Bradley!
With the cute kid factor off the charts, beautiful weather and perfect fall leaves, this year's fall sessions were a great success! My clients were rock stars, taking on the crazy Salem traffic and even a rain delay in the middle of the day. Salem Willows Park was a new location for CSP and it served my current and new clients well, I thought!
Read MoreWhile I prefer to think of all the great things a person did with their life and not their actual death, recording events is part of what I do. It's also part of how I deal with emotions, sad and happy. So, today I took an early lunch break and went down to the Boston Common to photograph the outpouring of Boston love and appreciation for the brilliant Robin Williams.
Read MoreA year ago, when little Lena was only three days old, I took the below image. This was of course in addition to a number of other stunning images we shot during our session that day (wink wink!).
Read MoreFour years ago I photographed Kristin and Benjamin's wedding. I always love to hear from past clients so I was really happy when Kristin dropped me a line a few weeks ago to let me know it was time to photograph their two month old, Brayden! They opted to not find out what gender he would be, so he had the cutest owl-themed gender neutral room. So fun!
Carriage House Violins has been a client of mine for a while and I love working with this full service string instrument shop in Newton Upper Falls. Recently, they were bought by Johnson String Instrument, and I was happy to photograph the grande re-opening of Carriage House Violins or Johnson String Instrument. The day entailed lots of performances mostly by Boston area kids' groups, which was so much fun. The kids had such pride in their accomplishment! And the evening had grown-up performers of exceptional talent (I'm sure they're proud of their accomplishments, too). All the while visitors could nosh on yummy apps, enjoy the music floating through the building, and explore the company's beautiful new expanded space.
Emily and Joe are good people. Shooting their wedding was fun and an honor. Their wedding took place at Willowdale Estate and they made it uniquely theirs in many ways, including centerpieces of ceramic lanterns handmade by Joe. I considered stealing one but wasn't sure I could really pull it off discreetly enough. CLICK HERE to see the music slideshow of images from Emily and Joe's wedding.

I got an email from the wife of a classmate of mine from good old Wakefield High weeks ago. Her in-laws had their heart on our beautiful Wakefield Common, and while I tried to talk them out of it because getting nice shots there can be trickier that one might think (people on the common, on the gazebo, poor light, too much green glow from trees, a dark gloomy lake), they wanted to give it a try anyway. We got a beautiful day for it and they were such a fun bunch to work with too!
