Schoenthaler Family - Senior Portrait Session

What a great day for a family portrait session. Actually this all started as a Senior portrait session for Calvin and just grew from there until we had the whole family involved.  An awesome family and it shows!

Harley - A Bold New Look - Dan Busler

Harley is a model. She's sassy and young and bold and all those other qualities that are required to get out there and get work.

 This is our second session together. The first was more focused on different looks and this session was totally devoted to Harley, the real Harly, the person.

 I shot this session with a very focus on what a strong - confident personality she is.


 We succeeded - this is my favorite shot,. The blouse/top that Harly is wearing is bold and new and amazing

 

Giliana Austin - Opera's Rising Star - Dan Busler

Classic, confident, focused, determined - that's Giliana.  I was looking forward to this session since Giliana first spoke with me about the concept.

Giliana is an opera singer and I thought that I should play classical music for our session. Which as much as I love Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart it would have taken the wind out of both me and our session. So I asked " Is it OK if I play my standard ... loud house music for our session" ... she just smiled and responded " Let's rock!" 

 So instead our session rocked!
Giliana was heading to San Francisco to star in a production and then she was off to Germany.
No question Giliana is a rising star.

Ann and Ajay - A California Couple - A Boston Engagement

Ann and Ajay are temporarily transplanted in Boston ... but their roots are stil in California. So to make their Engagement session perfect all I had to add was water! (The Atlantic Ocean was the best that I could offer)

Jennimae & Aaron Shaw - Their Wedding Day Love Story Fusion Video

The spark is still there. Those beautiful "love-at-first-sight" - looks, secret glances and stolen kisses are all still alive.

This is the love story of Jennimae and Aaron on their Wedding Day June 26, 2011.

 

 We can have just a peek, but they will have this love together for the rest of their lives.

Here's a short look at their Wedding Day

A Midsummer Night's Dream - Norwood High School - Dan Busler

Norwood High School - Norwood MA presents that crazy Shakespeare classic - A Midsummer Night's Dream - it's all about a man and an ass ... or a man that becomes an ass (hey !  Cut - it - out! all those Ladies out there who just said ..."Men don't have to "become" an ass ... they already are"  !  )  ... well there's a bit of "horsing around" ... it's very classic

 I guess that we've all seen this show. It's neat to see it staged by a high school that wants to do it right.

 But they also want to fun with it

 Lots of fun

Here's a video look at the show

Rough Crossing - Walpole Footlighters - Walpole MA - Dan Busler

The Walpole Footlighters presented Tom Stoppard's hilarious comedy "Rough Crossing" - The sets were  incredible and the actors were too. 

I did enjoy the stage lighting for this shoot a bit more than others that I shot for Walpole.  I think the color of the light is the reason

But the set was pretty nice

Here's a shot of the crew. In a community theater like this one, one day you're in the crew and then the next play, you're the star!   HA!

But here is an image of the stars of this show.

and here's a shot video / slide show.
