I am very grateful to all my clients for their business this year! I’ve been lucky to photograph many different spaces and places. Thank you for a successful 2017!

Did you know I take photos at corporate events as well as photographing architecture? I have provided photography for NAIOP (the Commercial Real Estate Development organization formerly known as the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks) events since 2010! NAIOP is wonderful to work with; not only do I meet a lot of my clients through NAIOP events, but also I learn so much about what is going on in the Boston area building industry. For NAIOP, I take candid and posed shots of people networking, people presenting individually or on panels, or people in groups posing or on tours of local buildings.
I love to capture people engaged in interesting discussions and find it very satisfying to get good shots of as many people at the events as possible. My goal is to make you look good!
Recently, I did a shoot for the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. They held a 25th Anniversary celebration and conference for their Department of Population Medicine. Their founders were honored, as well as researchers and fellowship students, at their offices in Landmark Center and in Fenway Park’s Dell EMC Club. The photos below are from NAIOP events and the Harvard Pilgrim event.
Having professional photography of your event is essential to creating high quality images for social media – sharing event photos on social media is a must these days and a great way to bring attention to your company, your cause, or your institution.
Is your company or institution planning an event? I’m booking now for events in the first six months of 2018! If you book an event shoot with me before January 31, get a complimentary two-minute video slideshow set to music for social media.

I have recently joined a new networking group through Meetup.com. The group is called PRANG – Professional referral and networking group. We meet weekly at 8:30am on Wednesdays in Waltham to learn about each other’s businesses. We took the best ideas from other networking groups and formed this new one. Ask me for more info if you would like to join us!
PHOTO TIP OF THE MONTH: FINDING THE UNUSUAL ANGLE
The photo above is one I took recently at the Central Reform Temple’s Chanukah Cantata, A Light Through the Ages. What a beautiful celebration! I have been taking photos for CRT on and off since 2010. This is the first year I found this unusual angle, after a suggestion from a member of the choir.
When you are taking photos of anything, an event, a person, a fire hydrant, a flower, a building, think about unusual angles. Move around the subject and see how it looks from different perspectives. Get down at ground level for flower shots. Photograph a person from the side, to see the faces of who they are interacting with. Look straight up at a building to get extreme angles. Try everything. Break out of the mold of standard shot-making. You never know if something will work until you try!
