Well I officially have a new favorite place for shooting.  I had never heard of Borderland State Park in North Easton, but it was perfectly located halfway between myself and my clients driving up from Rhode Island, so I thought we’d give it shot.  Borderland is simply gorgeous, and we only experienced a bit of it during our shoot.  There are multiple ponds and lakes, deep forest, open fields and plenty of trails for walking, hiking, or biking.  I highly recommend going by for a walk, it’s only about 35 minutes south of Boston and definitely worth the trip.  My only caveat is to be careful of the geese down by the lake, one of them got nasty with me!

Jen and Greg are totally adorable and have so much fun together.  They’re both studying to be doctors up in Rochester NY so I was lucky enough to grab them for a quick shoot while they were in town.

Here’s that goose I mentioned, I was able to catch him mid-hiss.  Ack!

I had my long lens on for the shot on the right below and Jen & Greg had no idea I was taking this picture, they just make each other smile like this naturally

Sitting in these grasses was less fun than you may think, we came out covered in all kinds of organic matter – but anything for the shot, right?

I was practically giddy when the path were on through the trees opened into this huge field.  There were so many photographic opportunities my head practically popped!

I just love me some trees, so this shoot was like a field day

I can’t wait for their wedding next year – Greg’s father is a family friend and a photographer himself so I have to make sure I’m on my toes!

In other news, lets hope this is my LAST post before baby – I’m due tomorrow – eeek!

Ruijie and Max are my favorite kind of clients – ones that love photos!  They both had great attitudes throughout the whole shoot – even when it started to get pretty hot at the end.  Since Ruijie and Max were up for anything we took lots of time and walked all over Castle Island in South Boston on a beautiful summer day.  After one outfit change, a lot of jumping and smooching, and many smiles later, the result is one of my favorite shoots to date.

Ruijie is wearing three dresses during the course of her wedding day, and this gorgeous  number is going to be the third.  I just had to encourage some twirling to show it off

I definitely love playing with the color in my photos, but I was recently inspired by the work of one of my dearest friends, Ohio photographer Jessica Love, to edit with rich monotones.  After a bit of trial and error, I’m totally in love with the tones I created for the photos below…and let’s be honest, the fact that Ruijie and Max are perfect models didn’t hurt!

Ok, back to color!

Ruijie and Max have been together for almost 11 years, and their comfort level makes for beautiful and intimate photos

I haven’t applied texture to my photos in a while, but I like the effect on these below

Finally, everyone loves a good jump, and these guys nailed it

Stay tuned for  photos from their wedding in the fall – I can’t wait!
