One year old twins and their family

Its always great to see how much my young clients grow so fast over a years time. I first photographed these two twins when they were just a few weeks old as well as their cousin. I think we got the last nice hot day session before the rain set in over a week ago. Here are some favorites from the twins' and their extended family session at the Grist Mill.

Communication Issues

I apologize to those of you who have been trying to get in touch with me. It first started with email problems and then a weekend of voicemail/phone issues so lets just top it off with my blog not allowing me to post some recent session favorites. Images will not post .. but blogger is working on this as I type.
Well they say things happen in threes so this should be it for me...I hope.

If you are reading this and I have been trying to get in contact and haven't heard back from me since Thursday October 11th. Please accept my apologies and email or call again.

Peek-a-boo...I see you

A sweet 2 year old girl who stole my heart. She was so fun and smiled so much as she peeked out from behind a tree, ran back and forth from her parents and discovered her yard. Her expressions were priceless. This family was a pleasure to capture. Here are some favorites...

An Incredible Honor... an old photo revisited

Almost 8 yrs ago I covered a news story where 6 firefighters had perished in a fire here in Worcester, MA. I was the first photographer on the scene that night and covered the story for 2 wks straight along with the photo staff of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette as they recovered the bodies of the fallen men and the those tearjerking funerals. This was such a big story here in Ma that even Pres Clinton and Al Gore came for the memorial service. Our photo staff was ultimately nominated for the 1999 Pulitzer for Feature Photography...we were finalists.

So yesterday they dedicated the fire memorial and new training center in Worcester, MA where the fire occurred. I was completely shocked and honored to see that one of my images of the fire scene I believe 3 days later is part of the memorial. I think of this particular image they used in the memorial as my career image in photojournalism. The photo is of the District Chief standing on the 2nd floor of th rubble of the cold storage warehouse pausing for a moment as searching for his fallen men continued days later after the fire had occurred.

Here is that image:



And here is a photo of Denis Leary at the Training Center and Memorial discussing the images in the memorial.


You can read an article that appeared in today's Worcester Telegram & Gazette: ( it will probably only be live on 10/4)

This image was part of our staff's pulitzer portfolio as well as these 2 images




and 2 more images from the night of the fire and a few days later





I hope to bring my 3 boys there in the future to show them the memorial and teach them about these heroic men.

Maternity Session in West Newbury

Its late September and 90 degrees out? A little hot for the mom-to-be's maternity session especially when its suppose to be fall outside with crispness in the air. Mom-to-be was just beautiful and let me do my favorite aristic silhouettes and play with natural and studio light at her home....she was very relaxed and just went with what I wanted to do. Here are some favorite captures of her beautiful baby belly.

One year old on Crane Beach, Ipswich

I photographed this cute little boy when he was just a newborn late last summer. Now he is a big one year with blue eyes that just sparkle. Another warm day for a beach session. I think this is latest I have done beach sessions yet. Mom and Dad were great just allowing me capture their famiy on the beach in a relaxed enviroment.
