First look. I like to just let things unfold naturally when doing wedding photography. But there will be a first time they see each other no matter what, and it will probably be a wonderful, emotional moment. When this guy turned around and saw his bride, it was like he had an electric shock! He got dazzled!

So… if it’s not going to be during the ceremony, it’s nice to set things up so that I can definitely catch that moment!

After I had taken a good selection of shots, I asked these groomsmen if there was anything else they'd like to do for pictures. Of COURSE they selected that classic pose, "Defending against the groom's fade-away jump shot"!

These pics are of in the air. She's like a swan made out of very bendy steel cables. Power! Elegance! and not afraid of being upside down, way up above everyone's heads!

I so enjoyed hearing this jazz trio with and (while I was photographing an event in Jamaica Plain last week). And I really loved the visuals when I turned to see them so actively listening to each other and eating up those solos and making their own beautiful reality up on that stage. Mmm-mm.

Happy Mother's Day to this first time mom! We had fun channeling her inner goddess and honoring her amazing shape. She had a healthy daughter not too long after our session. The grandmother quote: "I'm telling you, she is an angel baby!"

Last year was my first time photographing behind the scenes for the Boston Marathon medical support teams. A feast for a photographer, so much color and faces and emotion, buzzing with energy. Such a huge operation, and so organized. All those medical volunteers, so efficient and kind. Runners who have made it past the finish line, celebrating and using their last shreds of energy to get all the way to their gear. (Or in some cases, bouncing along still with plenty of energy!)

I'm excited to go do it again tomorrow!

Hey, did you know there is a women's history trail in Massachusetts? It's the National Votes for Women Trail -- it has five sites in Massachusetts, and I've been covering the dedication events for . There are speeches about the current state of affairs, some history about the rulebreakers and visionary women getting honored... but the most exciting moment is always when they unveil the historical marker with a flourish, to applause and photos.

Here are moments in , and Worcester. They honor Sarah Wall (refused to pay her property taxes as long as she was denied the right to vote), the Remond family (who worked for suffrage and abolition of slavery) and Anne Page who worked for suffrage. People worked so hard just to get us this far...

I went to the LIFE magazine photography exhibit, and many of those vintage photos were powerful, but this one spoke to me in another way. -- by Henri Cartier-Bresson, assigned to make "lifestyle" photos in Peiping in 1948.

I've been doing tai chi for AGES, so even though these guys are 75 years distant and continents away, they seem familiar. I'm like, Hey, check out that guy's Pick up Needle from the Sea Bottom! Like I could jump into that photo and know what to do. Felt strangely connected. Appreciation to all the teachers who have passed this art from person to person across generations and cultures. : )

A little sunset light transformed this wintry parking lot into a nice place for portraits. Look how beautiful. My graceful and hardy young subject handled the cold in her light dress like it was nothing!
