Katie Müller - Ready for the next stage

Katie's headshot session was a blast. Partly because she's an actress and that means she's going to be great to photograph and partly because she has such a natural smile.

We started her headshot session at the train station. The background was just perfect and that set the stage for a great day.

Terry Torres - Actor, Director

When I'm doing headshots for actors I have it kind of easy. Their training allows them to be so in touch with both their bodies and emotions that I just try to capture all the images they give me.

Nicole - Smiles, but those eyes are "Killer"

Nicole is graduating from college with a degree in theater, so of course she called on her favorite photographer for her headshots.

She was a blast to work with, a great smile, natural poses and eyes that could cut you in half. So I was very nice ... HA! Nicole, you rock!

The Dons Rock the Abbott

The Dons are Boston's rock band and they have worked very hard to get to that point. And there is no sign of that stopping. This video is images from their performance at Bad Abbotts in Quincy MA on April 18, 2009. It's kind of a good place for me to capture both the band and the crowd. Everyone was prepared to rock. So sit back and enjoy.

Katie Rocks!

I shoot a lot of high school productions. It gives me the chance to meet quite a few young actors. High School productions are a great outlet. Katie loves to be a part of the production. She's always there and does her best to make the production rock. One minute she's a wicked cool sax player, next she's got a cigar hanging out with the guys and well, it's always a surprise. But always she is Katie.

Katie does rock!

GirlFriends 2005



It was the summer of 2005. My Daughter and her three girlfriends had recently graduated from high school and were off to four different colleges.

My Daughter asked me to photograph the girls and I knew that it would be an opportunity never to come again. I could see that this was a slice of time captured and that no one could predict their futures.

It's now almost four years later and the girls will be graduating from college this year. I'd love to take this picture of them now, but that won't happen.

People lose touch. Horizons call us and we follow.

This is why I am a photographer. I want to remind people.

An Officer and a Lady

They told me "We came to Providence and fell in love" It was an engagement photo session, but in the end it was a look into a relationship that was almost perfect.

Birthday Wishes



I guess the best gifts are those that are unexpected. Recently my Daughter sent me a bunch of baloons for my Birthday. They showed up at the reception desk and I was called out to receive them from the delivery person.

Then I had to carry them back through the office to my desk. Which I was later told by my Daughter was the whole idea.

The embarrassment was short lived, but the memory of this gift will last a lifetime.

A Saling Baptism

I was asked to photograph the Baptism of our Pastor's Grandson, so of course I jumped at the chance. What a happy day! I most enjoyed capturing a Mother's tender love and a Father's bursting pride

Joe Cisternelli

Joe is attending UConn and came back to his home town today for a photo session with me. It was a great day.

Joe Ruscio

Joe returned to his hometown for his headshot session, a town with such a strong magnetic pull that most never want to leave, I mean never, ever leave. Forever

Jon Ryan

Jon is from the Vineyard, Martha's that is. I guess Martha own the whole place. These are images from Jon's headshot session

Lori and Gary

Weddings come in all sizes and shapes.
Lori and Gary's wedding was intimate and wonderful. Just close family and their children were in attendance. So you would think that this was going to be kind of low key.



But that was the last thing it turned out to be!


After the ceremony it was party time. The girls got it all started and Lori soon had everyone involved. It was all I could do to keep shooting to capture all of the action.What a night, but then
the images speak for themselves!

Nowhere Men


You know how much I enjoy shooting images of rock bands, probably because I understand where they are coming from and what they want the images I create to convey.















The Nowhere Men ... who took their name from the Beatles song "Nowhere Man" is a great group of guys. They are not into looking like the Beatles, but it's uncanny how much they move like the band when they are performing.




It was getting cold outside on the day of our shoot which added just the right look of a cold strggling "early 60's" Beatles.


We had a great time and the band loved the images... I'm happy

The Family Tree

I was asked recently to help a friend document the original settlement of her family that came to this area from Nova Scotia



She had found the general area and with my camera in hand we went looking for the exact spot. You see there was a lone apple tree on the land and that was the most important thing for us to find. Could it still be there after all of these years?
















Well, we not only found the tree but also the foundation of the original house and what looked like the road which once went infront of the house.

It was quite a find. My images were sent back to Nova Scotia where I'm sure they are in a fine glass case in the town's historical society ... or maybe they ended up on the refrigerator... HA!

Accidentally Perfect

"A Mother's Love is Blessing" ... it's a song and it's a reality. I don't expect that you know the song, it's a bit obscure.

I am blessed to be a photographer, as you can see from the images below. I get to share in the moments that are reserved for only a few.

These images of a Mother and her Daughter were shot on Mother's Day 2008. It was actually a very casual shoot and ended up quite powerful.

A Mother's Love is a Blessing.

New Years Eve Snow Storm

When it snows, you just have to take some pictures, I think it's a law or something.



















Across the street is a road that leads up to a housing development, I've never been up the road, I think they shoot you if you are a trespasser. But there is a bench near the main road where the kids wait for the school bus, it's got padding, nice.





So there I was walking through the neighbor's yard once again, looking for some classic snow images

I think I got next year's Christmas card image, so it was a successful trek.
