Kristen and John are a sweet couple, and we had a ton of fun during their engagement session. They are getting married in New Jersey, but they live in Boston, so they decided to have their engagement photos done here. It ended up being fr-eee-zing and windy on the day of their shoot, but they braved the cold, and we shot the entire session outside! We started in the North End, which was so fun. I probably could have shot the entire shoot in the North End (for you non-Bostonians, that’s Little Italy), but we walked to Faneuil Hall, then ended at the waterfront. I am so lucky to photograph such a beautiful and fun couple! It was definitely hard to pick out some of my favs for the blog because I have so many!

We started in a park in the North End, which had a great view of Boston.

I’ve only been to the North End at night, so I didn’t know that Boston has horse-drawn carriages. We saw a few of them during the engagement session, but we didn’t see any riders. Perhaps everyone was at home gearing up for the Superbowl!

One of my favs of the day! I saw this sign, and I knew I had to get a shot of it!

The best part about taking pictures in below freezing weather is that you get parks all to yourself!

I can’t remember what was so funny but Kristen’s laugh makes me smile! Did I mention how much I love this job?

I think this is my favorite shot of the day! I think Polo Jeans should use this photo for their next campaign!

Thanks for reading!

My guest post about working for Anne Ruthmann Photography during her Holiday Photo Booth is up on her blog! I helped Anne again this past Saturday at her Headshots for Haiti fundraiser and we were able to raise $400! Anne has such a giving heart, and it is really inspiring to see photographers strive to give back. Right now she’s currently accepting intern applications, and if you’re a photography student, you need to apply! Anne is a fantastic mentor, and she’s also an incredibly awesome boss!!

I also just launched a Facebook fan page, so please visit and become a fan!

Last Sunday, I teamed up with Karman Lee Photography to take engagement pictures of her brother and future sister-in-law. They live in Connecticut but they drove down to Boston for an engagement shoot. It was pretty cold that day, but Shan Shan and Alex were troopers and even went without their coats for some of the shoot! In contrast, I had on a huge white down coat with an aviator type beanie to cover my head and ears. I look more like an eskimo than a photographer, haha, but love how it keeps me warm so I’m not shivering and making my photos blurry.

I am so excited to show off these photos! Aren’t they a gorgeous couple?! I love the outfit that Shan Shan wore too. The bright cheery colors almost made me forget it was the dead of winter! We started off shooting in the lobby at the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) in Boston, which is a really cool building. Then we walked around the waterfront. I’ve never been to that part of Boston before, so I loved this shoot because I got to the chance to explore! Thanks Shan Shan and Alex for braving the the cold with Karman and me!
