Scenes from Arizona

Here are some photos from my recent trip to Phoenix and Scottsdale. It's amazing what a couple of good assignments and a new (to me) city filled with beautiful light can do for my photographic inspiration. I can't wait to go back.

Rebecca and Joe's Engagement Portraits

My good friends Rebecca and Joe got engaged last year, to the delight of pretty much everyone they know. Today is Joe's birthday, and I wanted to take the opportunity to post a few of my favorites from their engagement portrait session back in May. They wanted to center the shoot around the Boston neighborhoods of Allston and Brighton, where they live, work, study and play. Congratulations again to two of the funnest and kindest people I know. (Slideshow below).

Mirogoj Cemetery, Zagreb, Croatia

We spent a cloudy summer day wandering in Mirogoj Cemetery, on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia. Our guidebook called it one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe. We decided to make a detour since the weather wasn't cooperating with our original plan (mostly beach-basting). We were struck by its beauty, by the ornateness and variety of the grave-sites there, and also by the variety of religion and ethnicity of those buried there.
