We’re working on the book and gallery project…. I love this image of Meg, Sarah, and I.

I am so, so SOOO excited to access to a studio space out in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Today we inaugerated my time in the space with a group shoot with ten of the brides from the juxtaposition project. These women pretty much blow me away with their awesomeness, so any chance to hang out again is wonderful – they have a special place in my heart!

This shot was styled in awe of Annie Leibovitz’s celebrity group portraits. Doesn’t everyone look fabulous? I love the tones of the blacks with the skin colors.

Many thanks to fantastic Boston stylist Sarah Bortner and fellow photographer Meg Belanger who helped with posing ideas for group portrait.

Sarina knew exactly where she wanted to do our juxtaposition session. She and Brian adore the old Boston restaurant L’Espalier – every anniversary they celebrate with a special dinner. Since they’re moving locations from the near-Newbury side street, they wanted to do a shoot to commemorate this Boston institution.

I was impressed (and surprised!) that the folks at L’Espalier were accommodating enough to let us shoot inside their very busy kitchen as the staff was preparing for dinner rush.

On our way to L’Espalier from Athena Salon, of course we shot along Newbury Street, Boston’s upscale trendy shopping district.

hahahahaha those gnomes! I told Brian to ‘look scared’ — and I love that he actually did!

And after shooting at L’Espalier, we walked over to Old Trinity Church in Boston’s Copley Square.
