Nolan and Kristin are engaged

Kristin and Nolan were engaged about a month ago and just a week later got to bring home their new puppy Roxy. They met in Southie so we headed down near the water for a few engagement shots this evening. They were so easy to shoot because they just had fun interacting with each other. My favorite shots are the ones where they are just having a good time with each other. Congratulations on your engagement. After spending just an hour with you tonight, I know you are going to spend the rest of your life laughing together.

Headshots and Yoga Poses

Nicci is finishing up her training to teach yoga in the next couple of months and is in the process of starting up her own wellness business. We got together to do a few headshots and then had some fun with some yoga poses. We started off at her amazing loft space (and old converted brewery in JP) and finished up at Jamaica Pond. We had a lot of fun and got some great stuff. Here's a sneak peek.

Celebrating a marriage on their ten year anniversary

Today I got to shoot a vow renewal. Surrounded by family and friends the Upals renewed their vows on their ten year anniversary. They each wrote their own vows and it was a beautifully touching ceremony that just oozed the love they have for each other.

Engagement Session in the City

We went back to the spot where this love story started its most recent chapter. They were engaged in the common last winter and after a few shots there we strolled through the public garden by the flowers and the pond and got some great shots. Cooper the dog joined us a for a few pics and I THINK he's even smiling in a few. Congratulations on your engagement.

Hanna's Hearts of Hope for the Make a Wish Foundation

At age 7, Hanna was diagnosed Burkitt's Lyphoma, a very rate and aggressive form of cancer. Doctors gave her less than 2 weeks to live and started chemotherapy treatment right away. She endured months of chemotherapy and beat the disease. The Make-A-Wish Foundation granted her wish to go to Disney World a few months later and her and her family had an amazing time.

Having successfully beat cancer, Hanna became determined to make sure that all sick kids could have their wishes granted. She began to make and sell heart shaped necklaces made out of walnuts and melted crayons. To date, she has already raised over $30,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Today, Hanna was honored with a Heroes Among Us award from the Boston Celtics organization in a ceremony at the State House. She was interviewed by both Channel 7 and Channel 5 news who both ran stories on her charity this evening. Hanna-Your charity and giving spirit are both amazing and an inspiration to all of us.
