Emily

Here are some problems that come with being a photographer:


1. You get so over worked with taking pictures for clients that you forget to take pictures of your own family. The most you get are snapshots and you're lucky if you come out with something good. Oh, and you never have any recent pictures of yourself. The last usable picture of me was taken about 3 years ago.


2. You have little or no authority when trying to do a real 'session' with your own child. By now, they are so tired of you constantly saying "Look here! Look at the camera!" that it's really just a joke. Thus, you get lots of silly faces and attitude which can be both good and bad.


Emily just started pre-k, "big girl school", and ended up spending the Friday before school at work with me. We have a lake and walking trail in the complex, so we made it picture day for her. She really is a good sport and likes the camera, but was extra goofy. In the end, we ended up with some good shots and followed up with her being the photographer and me the subject. "Mommy, stand by that tree! Now stand by those flowers! Very good!". Thank you Fisher Price for kid-tough cameras! (It actually takes pretty decent pictures.)


I can't believe how grown she is.

Ashley & Kevin

Ashley and Kevin drove all the way from Ohio to have their wedding at her aunt's beautiful house on the Landings. It was a simple and elegant wedding, full of smiles and tears. Great people, great food, great party! Ashley's dress is one of my favorites, I love the lace detail on the back.

Congrats to you both, and to Hannah!

Dana & Reono








Another great wedding! Dana and Reono has a very small, family ceremony and a kick-ass reception. This one was at Southbridge and it was a great venue. Hands down, the best wedding food I've ever had.

You guys have a great family. Bella gave an awesome toast, not a dry eye in sight.

Best wishes to you all!

Introducing: Joey, plus his sisters

Baby number 3 for the Maggioni family- it's a boy! He's a little over a month old now, looks like such a little old man. But one of the calmest newborns I know. And of course, I couldn't not take pics of my girls Ava and her mini-me Sophia. Every time I see them I am amazed at how much they look alike. Ava is such a big girl, I can't believe how grown up she is. And FiFi is a maniac, in the best possible way :)

Events: 3rd Annual Milton Project Sock Hop and Auction

Too much fun! Sherry throws a heck of a party! There were tons of people having a good time and supporting a good cause. The Girlfriends were great and the costume changes were hilarious. Thanks to the many local businesses that donated items for the auction. Thanks to the North Beach Grill for the yummy food. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the whole night run smoothly. I look forward to next year!

Ted & Daneille

Another great, intimate wedding. It was held at Daneille's brother's house in Midway, right on the water. Let me start by saying this house was amazing, 3 stories, beautiful wrap around porches, awesome windowed doors. And there's an elevator!

Ted, Daneille, Faith & Christopher are an amazingly loving family. There were lots of emotions, shared tears and laughs. I wish them all the best.
