Album Options
Leather Craftsmen albums are timeless and durable. This is what comes to mind when people mention heirloom wedding albums. This custom made book will look stunning on your coffee table. It can hold up to 80 of your favorite images and will be treasured for generations.
A 8×12″ puzzle of your favorite image makes a fun gift!
My Winter Studio
There’s a little unfinished house in Baja that I’ve walked past and admired for years. It’s a beautiful structure, it has no roof, no windows, no doors and blissfully bare walls. To me it’s an ideal location to make portraits and so I did just that. This little bungalow was my winter studio. 
Baja studio
so simple yet so perfect.
Boston studio
lived-in but perfect too.
Jamaica Now & Then
Jamaica is back in my life and what’s been showing up in front of my camera lens has been a delightful surprise. The portfolio that I thought was complete long ago has taken on new life. What a transformative and welcome shift in thinking this has been. It’s really just the beginning. This project is totally alive for me again.
This month I had the good fortune of re-photographing people from my past. Some of the reconnections took a year to arrange and others happened effortlessly. One day I was unexpectedly in Commador and Lateef (the boy in the school uniform who is now a grown man) was out in the road as if waiting for me. Another day I heard my name being called and it was Cliffy, he was on the roof of a building in Hope Bay. Eighteen years had passed since either of these guys had been in front of my camera and here they were directly in my path. Many powerful reunions aligned for me on this trip and I can’t help but recognize how precious it all is. Jamaica has always been a magical and emotional place for me but never more so than on this visit.

A Family Tradition
My business as a family photographer exists because people still hold a value for the time-honored tradition of family portraiture. People who realize it’s about more than just the images. It’s an event. Time has to be set aside, schedules arranged and often rearranged. Wardrobe has to be planned and prepared. Haircuts and tans topped off. It’s not always easy but it’s always worthwhile. It’s time spent together as a family, making memories, giggling, sometimes crying but most importantly being together.
Fortunately, my clients Chip & Ben honor this tradition.
What a difference a year makes.

Bar Mitzvah at WGBH & Brookline Teen Center
WGBH was a great venue for this November Bar Mitzvah.
The Yawkey Theater provided a perfect atmosphere for the ceremony. 
Guests enjoyed a luncheon provided by Max Ultimate Foods immediately following the service. 
Books and pencils sat on the tables waiting to go home with guests.
The party continued at the impressive Brookline Teen Center that evening. This isn’t any old teen center, it opened in 2013 and has a pool table, ping pong tables, a basket ball court and a candlepin bowling alley! This fabulous affair was also catered by Max Ultimate Foods.
