My classy friends (part 1)

Here are a few pictures of two of my oldest friends, Meghan and Lee, getting ready for a night out. Besides being hilarious and fun, they are two of the most stylish people I know. Lee works for a local interior designer and always seems to have a pulse on the latest trends ("Popsicles are the new cupcakes"). Meghan is a thrift store maven who runs an adorable Etsy shop and occasionally acts as my personal shopper. I'm always proud to be seen with them.

Lindsay & Madeleine

Here are a couple of "family photos", featuring two of my favorite models here in Jacksonville: my friend Lindsay and her daughter Madeleine. They've grown up so much since their previous blog appearance, just after Madeleine was born (almost three years ago!) I made these using window light in an adorable ice cream shop in Avondale.

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.

Portrait of a Young Fruitseller

This boy sat for a portrait exactly as I found him. He was selling watermelons that were bigger than he was in Kumkapi, the Istanbul neighborhood where I lived for a month this summer.
