If you’ve visited my blog recently you may have already caught a glimpse of the shots I took for Johnson String Instrument . I wanted to share how those images got used in their annual catalog for 2019-20.
The catalog was designed by Pat Nieshoff Design, and you can see the full catalog HERE.
As always, click to enlarge the images.
I love working with Johnson. It's a nice change of pace and being around such craftsmanship is always so interesting and inspiring to me! Click on the shot of Amelia below to see the recent work I did (with the help of creative directors Maureen Wall, Heather Shaw and Silvija Kristapsons) for their catalog.

I really enjoy shooting for Carriage House Violins of Johnson String Instrument, but this gala they had me cover for The Johnson String Project was especially nice because of it's cause. Michael and Kitty Dukakis were in attendance as was the mayor of Newton, Setti Warren.
Carriage House Violins has been a client of mine for a while and I love working with this full service string instrument shop in Newton Upper Falls. Recently, they were bought by Johnson String Instrument, and I was happy to photograph the grande re-opening of Carriage House Violins or Johnson String Instrument. The day entailed lots of performances mostly by Boston area kids' groups, which was so much fun. The kids had such pride in their accomplishment! And the evening had grown-up performers of exceptional talent (I'm sure they're proud of their accomplishments, too). All the while visitors could nosh on yummy apps, enjoy the music floating through the building, and explore the company's beautiful new expanded space.
Emily and Joe are good people. Shooting their wedding was fun and an honor. Their wedding took place at Willowdale Estate and they made it uniquely theirs in many ways, including centerpieces of ceramic lanterns handmade by Joe. I considered stealing one but wasn't sure I could really pull it off discreetly enough. CLICK HERE to see the music slideshow of images from Emily and Joe's wedding.

This little slideshow has been a long time coming! I re-met Jenny, who I went to high school with, as a result of some community volunteering we both did. I was so excited to bump back into her and have been so grateful to have her as a new(ish) friend! I was truly honored when she asked me to document her big day.
I was very happy to have a chance to go back to Reuning and Sons and shoot for them. I was there to take some portraits, collect some "artsy" shots and I also caught a few funny moments, like the staff's reaction to owner Christopher Reuning's joke about a monkey piloting a plane. Always a lovely space to shoot in and such nice people to be around.
Carriage House Violins is the home of the masters of violin, cello, viola and bow making, repair and sales. They just moved to a new location in Newton Upper Falls. It was such a great space to shoot in!
I spend a day last week shooting for Ruening & Sons. Great fun!
