Mike is my total boston bestie  right now, and he happens to be super photogenic, which is of course fantastic. And it was his fabulous idea to visit Lechmere Park, where we found some nice piles of trash, as well as my favorite bridge in Boston, the Zakim Bridge–what a wonderful piece of art. I could look at it every day and still love it. And I had no idea we would find it there. It was such a random piece of good fortune. But we UNfortunately picked one of the hottest days of my life, so we literally had to find shelter from the sun in a mall food court. Thank goodness for soda and portuguese food. That’s all I am thinking. And thanks for being so stylish Mike! Nice one.

Artessa and Jeremy are engaged and loving life! ! Congrats you guys!! I am thrilled that this shoot worked out because Artessa was just graduating from a program at MIT, leaving us a small window of opportunity to take Boston by storm before Jeremy whisked her off to the lovely land of Pennsylvania, where they will live happily until their wedding next summer in the Philippines, no big deal-the stomping grounds of my practically fav photogs of ALL TIME, mango RED. Because Boston is so near and dear to the hearts of both Artessa and Jeremy, and now to myself, we sat down to discuss possible locations and realized we wanted to get into Fenway Park. Artessa, being the brilliant MIT dweller, conjured up a scheme to get us in there by way of a guided Saturday tour. Even though we were surrounded by crazy fans for the Red Sox and took in way too much baseball team trivia(like the green MONster wall stuff went on and on and on), we got some pictures to love and only got scolded two times I believe for falling behind the group. We then made our way to the Prudential Center, Newbury Street, hotty MIT buildings- oh-and the ever amazing Citgo Sign(which I have been and remain inexplicably drawn to ever since my arrival in Boston). So it was really fun to meet these guys and hang out for an afternoon, and Artessa and Jeremy, you are a super cute couple. Best of Wishes!!

JUST got my brand new baby iphone, and I found the coolest app, called the hipstamatic, basically a holga-ish thing going on, what with the square format and pretend light leaks and blurry oblivion. ONE of the greatest things about this app is that you get to choose from different lenses and types of film. sOoooo awesome awesome awesome. the hottest thing in awhile, and this is a beautiful thing. there will be several future art projects with this little buddy, the iphone. i love you.

Excitement at my first wedding in Boston ! ! ! And what a wedding it was. The views. were. cool.  I was able to shoot this wedding with Lukas Kisiel Photography. Please check out his work–it is so timeless. We started photographing at the Boston Seaport Hotel, which is sleek and chic and hot. The ceremony took place at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, and then we went back to the hotel for the reception, which has a view of the brand new edition to Boston–the Institute of Contemporary Art !!! ANYway, Never before have I witnessed a groom who was so fully invested in the logistics of the wedding planning and so excited as the day unfolded piece by piece. Nice job Sabino. AND, for a special surprise, he rolled a grand piano into the reception room and played Catey a disney song from the Lion King. It was very cute. Both Catey and Sabino were smiling and making eyes at each other the entire day. THEY ARE so in love, and it made me smile. Oh and Catey is gorgeous.
