Diane Arbusing

Diane Arbusing, you ask?  Yes, there is such a thing. I have decided that Arbusing is a verb, right here, right now, as I type this.

I cannot express how much I love these photos. They were taken at a "photo booth" at my friend Debby's wedding in California last weekend. Maybe I like it because I never have my picture taken. Maybe I love it because it's with her and I adore her. Maybe it's because I was her mentor when she was an intern at The Palm Beach Post seven years ago (yikes!) and we have remained friends ever since.

When she was an intern with the Post, she came over for a Halloween party after some crazy late-night shoot she had to do, because, well, she was the intern and sometimes as an intern you get stuck with that stuff. We were feeling silly and decided to take a goofy, serious photo (yes, I do see the paradox), which we both joked later, as I recall, that it looked like a twisted version of the already somewhat twisted shot by Diane Arbus of a set of twins looking straight at the camera. (That photo from seven years ago is at the bottom of this entry).

Skip forward seven years and Debby is getting married and here we are again, still dressed up but much more grown-up like (well, sort of).

At first we had a hard time pulling it together, of course.

Then we managed it.

and this is the old one.

This is just a quick shot I took of my friend Jenny for the local news yesterday. We have been working very hard in preparation for this fund-raiser for the Center for Performing Arts in Wakefield. Let's hope it's a success! Wanna come?

Jenny Foss of Waltham, a Wakefield High School Alum unpacks a collection of 80s posters at the Scott house. Foss is a member of the Center For Performing Arts and is working with fellow member and WHS grad Cydney Scott on the CPA's upcoming 80s Dance fund raiser. 

Nathan and Catherine

Nathan and Catherine were married at the beautiful Sharksmouth Estate in Manchester-by-the-Sea. A stunning location and a personal one for Nathan as his family is tied to the estate. Catherine had just celebrated her thirtieth birthday the day before, and friends and family came from all over, including England and Japan, to celebrate the union of these two.

Julie was visiting family locally from Louisiana and made a photo session appointment with me. These are some favorites form her session with her daughter, Sarah, who was not feeling too smiley til the end of the shoot. Who can blame her with out hot hot weather and the strange lady with the big black thing in front of her face!

Hailey and her Parents!

I went to school with Jason and Jamie. We were "band geeks" together. It's so bizaare but great to reconnect with people from what feels like so far from my past. They are now married after running into each other once out of high school and hitting it off. And now they are parents to Miss Hailey, who is just under two years-old!

Three Muskateers

Today I had a nice little photo shoot with the kids of a close friend of mine. We grew-up together and it's been fun watching her be a mom. A very good one at that! I photographed Ava last year, and this year, she was joined by her twin sisters, Sam and Addison, now five months old. They were troopers and Ava is always good for some comic relief (not that it was needed) with her hilarious facial expressions!

Kate and Michael

This past Saturday, Kate and Michael were married at St. Anthony's Chapel in Goucester, MA. The beautiful reception that followed took place at Ocean View Inn, also in Goucester. The weather called for rain but it managed to stay away long enough for us to get some pretty shots by the ocean. Shooting this wedding for Michael and Kate was so much fun; a scenic location, happy and friendly guests, and an excited and fun-loving couple! What more could a photog ask for?
