Hotel Photography New England

in , ,

I feel like the whole world is poised at the starting line of a race, just waiting for the signal, and when it goes off we’re all going to run as fast as we can to all the places we’ve been dreaming of.  While we’ve been staying home and safe, the hotels have been getting ready for us.  Where will you go when it’s time to travel?

We recently completed a hotel photography project featuring lifestyle photos of ‘guests’ enjoying themselves at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA.  Having used the down time during the pandemic to renovate their lobby, the hotel wanted to feature the warm tones and inviting spaces that would await guests as they returned to travelling.

As a commercial photographer in Boston this was a dream project to work on because there were so few guests at the time that we were able really spread out and make full use of the space. That’s something that would never be possible otherwise with a hotel in the middle of Harvard Square!

Edible Boston: Dancing Goats Dairy

in , ,

One of my favorite assignments from Edible Boston's Summer 2015 issue was the story on Dancing Goats Dairy in Newbury MA.  I had the opportunity to go up to the farm, tucked away on a beautiful corner of Tendercrop Farm, and spend the day with owner Erin Bligh.  I rarely encounter people that so clearly love what they do.  As writer Deb Kaneb so eloquently puts it, "Pure joy radiates from Erin Bligh when she talks about her treasured goats and the journey that led her to build a goat dairy on the North Shore of Massachusetts last year."  

While we walked around the farm the baby goats followed Erin with bounding excitement wherever she went.  As I got to meet more of them it became clear that they each have their own personalities.  Some were curious, others boisterous, and some had a clear interest in being photographers!

After shooting the story at the farm I decided it would be a perfect place to start my first short film.  With a few days of filming I've collected a mountain of footage to sift through. Stay tuned in the coming months for the Dancing Goats movie!

Jenny Dell: Improper Bostonian

NESN Red Sox reporter Jenny Dell on the cover of this week's Improper.On whether she gets sick of all that baseball: "I think anything you end up putting your all into, you love. So you eat, breathe, sleep and dream it. On my days off, I sit at home and watch the game. Once you’re a part of it, you’re all in."
