Complete Lifestyle Photography bio picture

A brief history...

Thank you for taking the time to come and look at my work.  This is my passion, its all I have ever known.  Most text books will tell you that a bio should be written in the 3rd person, thats just not me.  I am personable, I am interested in you and I want you to be interested in me.  Writing about my life in the 3rd person just doesn't seem to make sense if we want to be friends.  I graduated from Fitchburg State College in 2001 with a degree in communications media.  I'd like to say I never use what I learned in school, but it just wouldn't be true.


I received a very classical technical education in photography, I learned about FILM.  I have translated that knowledge across the digital divide and now throughly enjoy the new media that is digital photography.  But frankly I care less about pixels and more about people.  I try to tell a story with each assignment, with each image.  Thats the beauty of a photograph, its just a moment that would have passed by so quickly that you might not have even seen it... but now you can look at it and remember those feelings anytime you wish.


That is my mission, to make those fleeting moments stand for all eternity.  To share with future generations.  I can't wait to meet and talk about your event weather its a wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or a family portrait...

Candi & Tj, a lifetime in the making part 2…

Ok here we are at part two! Part 1’s images are now on FaceBook too. I tagged Candi and Tj, but if you appear in an image feel free to tag yourself!

So where was I rambling on… Oh yes! the party! I mean what goes better with an emotionally charged wedding ceremony between two loving people, a ROCKIN’ PARTY. So after Candi and Tj exchanged rings,

they had some fun. First they had a beautiful first dance…

Then they danced with their parents. Its a really wonderful tradition that honors where they came from. Candi and her dad did a sort of jitterbug which was lively and up beat. Tj and his mom did a more traditional dance during which his mom spent the bulk of it in tears, it got me chocked up once or twice.

After the dancing we played a game. Now you ask what kinds of games do we play at weddings. Well the NEWLYWED game of course! Candi and Tj stood back to back they had a bouquet in one hand and a Red Sox hat in the other. The DJ would ask questions and if they thought the answer was Candi they raised the bouquet and so forth. It was really quite cute and it got EVERYONE laughing. Especially Candi’s mom, the picture below is after a particularly funny question, I believe it was “Who is always right?” Both of them raised the Red Sox hat…

And then we danced, drank, laughed… All of the things you do at a fun party. I’ll shut up now and leave everyone with some more images. If you are waiting to see the entire catalog it will be up when Candi and Tj get back from their trip and have seen the entire thing first. If you want to register on the website feel free, or if you just want to email me I will add you to the email announcing the whole catalog.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

A lakeside affair…

I met this lovely couple several times before their wedding to chat, to shoot etc. Each time the were both so soft spoken, but so into each other. I was really unsure how they would be on their wedding day… What would the stress of the wedding day do to them? Well to my surprise the pressure and excitement of their day brought out their true personalities! They were so excited, so full of that nervous happy energy it was infectious. From the bride crying as her mom presented her a charm from her grandmother to be worn on her dress; to the rockin’ party complete with a limbo contest! This wedding had it all…
