Portraits in the Fall: Krista and Dan
It's always thrilling when people you know are getting married, you feel much more free to butt into things and make suggestions for centerpieces (or is that all just me?). Krista and Dan were engaged during a trip to Turkey, and told me their plans during another friend's wedding over the summer (though with the ring Krista was suddenly sporting, you didn't have to be Hercules Poirot to deduce the big news). A few short months later we got together at Bird Park in Walpole, MA for their engagement session.
It was a chance to get loose, chase away some geese and crunch through the leaves. The park rambles around, with open fields and forest paths, and we took advantage of as much as we could on that gorgeous autumn day. As per usual I was bold and daring to get the right shots, braving hordes of geese, sticky mud and precarious perches for the couple. Of course, they were game too and a lot of fun to work with.
Kirsta and Dan plan to marry next August in Spencer, MA.
Love in Somerville: Liza and Seneca
In spite of October's advance, the brilliant colors of Fall had only just started to show in the leaves around Somerville, MA. It was early in the morning and a chill was in the air as we staked out Nathan Tufts Park off of Broadway. Birches peeked out from the rest of the trees here and there and as we climbed the stone steps leading toward the old powder house, a few dogs and their owners were just leaving.And Baby Makes Three
October has been a month of rain and mud, one precocious one-year-old wouldn't want it any other way. At the Oliver Mills Park, he kept getting drawn to the water and the mud to splash and play (and get a little dirty) but that's little to sacrifice for a smile on a cold Saturday morning.
