Not much to say about Stephanie except this aspiring young actress walked into my studio determined to create something great.  And she did.

Two years have passed since Ari Philip “The Bear” joined us one fateful morning at Newton Wellesley Hospital Nov 27 4:22am.  He is without a doubt one of the happiest little guys on the planet and one of the most precious souls on this earth.  He is all about love and laughter, trains, playing in “The Fort” with Zack, eating endless amounts of yogurt, doing everything himself then proclaiming to the world: “I did it!”, running all over the house at top speed, and of course watching Chuggington and Mickey.  And while his default is happiness, when he’s not pleased with something… he’s REALLY not.  You have to admire his commitment – he goes “all in” at everything he does.

So from Mommy, big brother Zack and Daddy, here’s a big Happy Birthday shout-out to our special little man on his big day.  Happy Birthday Ari!!!

Every now and then I get a call for a photo shoot that sounds fun on paper, but gets me incredibly anxious the closer it comes to actually doing it.  A few days ago on a gorgeous fall day in New England, I headed over to Roxbury Latin to take shots of solar paneling for a company called Ecolibrium Solar out of Ohio who produce mountings for the panels.  Anyone who knows me knows that I’m quite scared of heights – but in true ‘face your fears’ fashion I accepted the challenge and forged ahead.  I can tell you that although I’m not sure how I did it, I felt really great after it was done.  Here’s some images taken during my excursion that included climbing rungs straight up into infinity, several shaky ladders that led into an old burned out bell tower, tiny ledges that I’d rather not speak of and an abundance of deep breathing.  When it was all over I sat in my car for a moment, texted my wife that I had “survived” and drove home.  Now I can’t wait to do it again.
