Hotel Photography New England

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!

Boston Restaurant Photography

As a food photographer in Boston I spend a great deal of time in restaurants, bars, and hotels, seeing what chefs are up to. When the world started to shut its doors last spring I didn’t think it’d be so long before I’d go back to see them, and I had no idea how much I’d miss it. After a year in this pandemic, with vaccines on the way, and spring coming, I’m starting to think about the things I’m most excited to get back to. I can’t wait to get rid of my mask. I can’t wait for long days in the summer sun. And most definitely, I can’t wait to go back to restaurants in a real way. To dine gloriously on creative and delicious food in the soft evening light and the din of a crowd…

The Pickers

For the past several summers I have been working with Red Tomato documenting farms, and in particular farmworkers, along the East Coast.  It is by far my favorite thing that I get to do all year. Something about being out with the sun on my face and my feet in the dirt just really makes me feel good. Along the way I got to know a lot of the men and women that bring food to our table and have been honored to tell their story.  I'm looking forward to getting back out there again this year!
