Esplanade shoot

I met up with photographer friend Jen Ing on a warm afternoon in November so we could shoot some scenery around Boston. As we both prefer to shoot people over landscapes, Jen and I ended up taking practice portraits of each other. We walked around the Esplanade for a couple hours before sunset and the light was just gorgeous:









I love to schedule shoots for the late afternoon (or near sunrise, alternatively) and this is why... AMAZING light!

SNEPP Shoot

One of my goals is to meet more photographers and people that are interested in photography. To that end, I recently joined the Southern New England Portrait Photographers (SNEPP) group on Meetup.com. There are a ton of photography groups on Meetup but I chose this one because they seem to have a lot of interesting events and didn't look too intimidating!

I went to a workshop today with the group that was focused on outdoor lighting. I thought we'd be working with natural light but they had some studio strobes set up for us. It was so much fun!













LOVE the lighting in these last two...
