Sena and Jovan!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Sena (rhymes with Jenna...) and Jovan in the Public Garden.  Question no. 1: How exactly are we going to do an intimate engagement shoot...in the Public Garden...on the first 80 degree Saturday of the year? 

A little bit like this I guess...

Here are a few highlights: 

This one is possibly my favorite image from the whole shoot. I was experimenting with having fun with lens flare, not being afraid of it...

Also, it turns out Sena is an expert goose herder. 

This woman was absolutely born to have her picture taken....

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when a couple is this obviously in love, it makes my job SO fun and easy! Thanks to Sena and Jovan for a fantastic afternoon of picture taking.  I'll be photographing their wedding with Eric this year on July 11.  Can't WAIT!

Katie and Manny! Oh My!

A couple weeks back I did an engagement session with Katie and Manny--a fantastic couple who I met through my good friend Fran Betlyon.  Katie is a singer and an actress (with a voice that can shake the walls, might I add), and Manny is an architect.  Katie is so full of energy and life--I barely had to direct her...This is one of those couples who is so obviously into each other, it really makes my job so fun and easy! Here are a few of my favorites....

Katie took us to this cool old factory on Central Street in Somerville.  A bit later when we were across the street in the playground some cops cam to this parking lot--guess they're pretty serious about that whole no trespassing thing....
Gotcha! 
Seriously--it's like I wasn't even there! They just had a ball playing together!

I couldn't get enough of this tree!
Fabulous...

I can't wait to work with them again this fall when I photograph their wedding! Thanks for an awesome time, guys!
