Hello and welcome!

Hi I'm Lexi, welcome to my blog:) I am Boston-based wedding and portrait photographer and I LOVE what I do! I enjoy fluffer-nutter sandwiches, really windy days, and the smell of musty basements. I don't like waking up early, skiing, or people who drive slow in the fast lane. This is where I showcase lots of stuff about me, my photography, and my life. Some of it you'll care about and some…well…you won't. Here you will get a taste of who I am, what I do, and why I am obsessed with this thing called photography.

Belly Session :: Laura

April 20, 2012

Yup, sometimes I just smile when I think of my clients. :) Actually, that’s a lie. Usually I smile when I think of my clients…and Laura is no exception. We met teaching together, what seems like forever ago now, and I got the unique opportunity to photograph her wedding (which people liked so much that it was featured in The Knot magazine) and now her belly session, and in a few short weeks I will be photographing her newest addition as well! Again, I smile. It is so awesome to be a part of these moments in my friends and clients lives. We met up on the hottest day this week, which was slightly uncomfortable for shooting. We also coaxed Brian in front of the camera for at least half the shots. :) We got an awesome day for photos, beautiful light and these two are old pros in front of the camera so my job was extra easy! Anyway, enough blabbering, here are the pics!

Laura wanted just a couple shots with the belly exposed. I love the way she is looking at Brian here. :)
Photobucket

And she had these awesome sheer curtains that let in the most beautiful light!
Photobucket

Laura, you’re stunning.
Photobucket

Okay, you two are way too cute to handle. For real. Stop being so cute!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Hmmm, favorite? I think so!
Photobucket

Photobucket

I just really like the crop of this one…their eyes barely in the frame. Of course, this was totally on purpose. It’s not like I was holding the camera out in front of my body and hoping it was in focus. No, not at all!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Laura is honestly all belly and I thought we should show that. :)
Photobucket

Laura is such a natural beauty, and is awesome and natural in front of the camera too!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Love.
Photobucket

These next few images were shot in the most perfect light.

Boston Engagement Session :: Elenie & George

April 17, 2012

It was beautiful outside today. So so so gorgeous! I feel lucky that I have to photograph outside (oh my terrible life) and today was an example of that awesomeness. I do wish, however, that I could have tossed in a run today…but tomorrow is a new day and this girl needs a run again to clear her head and stay on top of blogging. Yes, yes…I realize that I have been remiss.

In the meantime, I was able to photograph the lovely and fun Elenie & George last week in the public gardens (shhhh, don’t tell anyone we were there without a permit) and it was a perfect evening for a shoot! Maybe slightly brisk (as most spring shoots should be) but the trees were flowering and these two were laughing and it made me so excited to start my shooting season again. Aaaahhh, it’s been a nice break but this photog is officially back on for the season—wahoo! Anyway, let me share with you a few favorites. :)

The laughter. Gosh I love when my sessions start like this.
Photobucket

Might be my favorite from the session. The amazing flowering tree and the hotness of these two. Yowzers!
Photobucket

Photobucket

You’re both cute. :)
Photobucket

Again, the light and the new green on the trees made for some awesome shots.
Photobucket

Photobucket

Elenie, you’re beautiful. That is all.
Photobucket

Kinda like this one too.
Photobucket

I know this was Elenie’s favorite of the shoot. Glad I made you to sit down on this bench. ;) Worth it!
Photobucket

Elenie & George, I just loved getting to know you two better and I cannot wait to photograph your wedding in just a few short weeks! I hope you like the sneak peek. :)

Guinness is THREE!!!

April 1, 2012

My April fools puppy turns 3 today—I cannot believe it! I realize that he is just a dog and those of you with children are rolling your eyes at me. Don’t care…roll away…because it’s my baby’s birthday today and I’m going to celebrate with him. :)

Guinness, I love you so so much…even though you’re stinky and roll in the dirt all the time so that when I pat your back dust billows off of you, I love you even though your mouth smells like something crawled inside it and died (even after I brush your teeth)…I love you even though you have to be in constant contact with me (like when I allow you on the couch and you make sure that at least a paw is touching me even though there’s plenty of room on the other side of the couch), I love you even though you have to lay outside the shower door in the morning so that every time I open it I bump into you and you jump up and then lay down again on the mat so I have to stand on the cold tile floor, I love you even though you can find a pool of water anywhere to swim in (especially if it’s a stagnant swamp), I love you even though you curl up on anything I put on the floor (like my slippers or dirty socks…eeewww), I love you even though you have to lick the bottom of the water bowl ensuring that your entire snout is in the bowl so that water splashes everywhere and drips from your mouth for 2 minutes afterward covering every clean surface of my floors with water and drool, I love you even though you find a way to crawl onto the couch when I leave (after I put the cushions up specifically to deter you from sitting on my light colored couch) thereby weaving your wirey brown hairs everywhere into the couch fabric, I love you even though you wake me up every single morning with light and breathy (but incessant) barking waiting until I invite you up on the bed, I love you even though you’re broken and I’m going to eventually have to pay lots of money to fix your cruciate ligament, I love you even though you get so distracted (by squirrels, birds, people, leaves, pieces of trash) while running with me that you keep throwing off my jogging rhythm and then I yell at you, I love you even though you’re so obsessed with tennis balls that you can’t think about anything else when one is in your vicinity, I love you even though (just like a child) you start doing something bad as soon as I get on the telephone and can’t yell at you, I love you even though you huff at me when I tell you to lay down and wait, and I love you especially when you stretch out like a bunny with your hind legs behind you and crawl your front feet toward me.

I love you, plain and simple, you stinky pain in the rear-end!

A few iPhone pics taken over the last year or so.

My very favorite of Guinness-boo!

April 6, 2012 - 5:33 PM katherine - Happy Birthday G!! I am a proud dog mom too and I get it. Our pups are our kids and I love it!! One of these days our pups have to meet!! I had no idea you were back on the East coast. Welcome home!

April 2, 2012 - 2:24 PM Nicole - Awwww... I have babies and a dog, and they all act so much the same that sometimes I can't tell which ones are my kids and which one is my dog. ;-) If you figure out how to get him to run well with you, I'd love some tips... I keep trying with my dog and he's all over the place! Happy Birthday, Guinness!

April 1, 2012 - 2:49 PM Stef - Love this post! So true - our puppy is our baby too, he turns 2 next month!

April 1, 2012 - 2:43 PM Jeni - I am crying and I love you both!

April 1, 2012 - 12:13 PM Jill - I would never roll my eyes at someone who considers their dog their baby. Dogs are the best, and they are as precious as children. Happy birthday Guinness!

Jill :: Belly session

March 28, 2012

Wow, it’s nearly the end of March and I haven’t posted since January. Sorry…I’m a bad, bad, BAD photographer!!! There’s not much else to say on that subject. Sooooo, in other news, I just returned from a 2.5 mile run. I’ve started to run again and it is the most amazing head-clearing activity that any one person can do. Now I should really say that I jog, a very slooooow 10-minute-mile but hey, I’m totally jogging! I’m also doing hot yoga, and it hurts. Every. Single. Time. It hurts. And yet, week after week I seem to be torturing myself. Whatever…spring is here and this girl will have to slip back into a bathing soon waaaay sooner than I want to (especially if these last couple of weeks are any indication of the summer we might be getting) so I’ll continue running and torturing myself with hot yoga. Plus, I can think better when I’m not thinking about all the stuff I really should be thinking about. Get it? Right.

So, in other way more interesting news. Jill is going to be having a baby girl in just a couple of weeks! Yay! We met up on the first day of Spring last week—it was 80 degrees…on the first day of Spring…in March. And we got a few really awesome pics that I am so excited to share with you! But before I do that I have to say a special congratulations to Jilly-bean. Jill and I have known each other since grade school and became good friends in junior high school (you know, they call that middle school now) and we lived right down the street from each other growing up. We lost touch by the end of high school and ended up going in different directions, but it is so awesome to me that because of this little photo business I have (and the help of Facebook) she found me again and asked me to photograph her belly portraits. Jill, I was honored to be the one to photograph you, to share in this awesome moment just before your baby girl is born, and to celebrate with you and catch up on years of being apart. I wish you the very best of luck and cannot wait to meet little miss Eliza when she comes!

We shot down at the pond across from my folks house. Jill and I spent many an afternoon in high school walking these woods so I thought it was fitting.
Photobucket

The light was absolutely amazing on this day!
Photobucket

Hello hot stuff. Wait, is it appropriate to call a pregnant woman hot stuff?!?! I think so :)
Photobucket

Honestly Jill, you were glowing the entire time.
Photobucket

A little light model-wind never hurt anyone ;)
Photobucket

See glowing…it was literally like the light wanted to find Jill in every shot. Kinda love that!
Photobucket

Gorgeous.
Photobucket

Do you think she might be happy. I don’t know, there’s absolutely no proof :)
Photobucket

Another of my favorites Jill.
Photobucket

I love this one too though. I’m so glad we chased the light in this field and found the beautiful tall grasses that contrast with the pop of color from your shirt. Beautiful!
Photobucket

Jill, I hope you love these…you are absolutely glowing girl and I honestly could not be happier for you! Thank you for inviting me to photograph you and for being such a good sport about climbing hills with me and hiking by the pond. :)

March 28, 2012 - 3:25 PM Lexi - Glad you like them Jill! :)

March 28, 2012 - 2:59 PM Jill - Lex-I could not be happier with these. I was so honored to have you do these photos! Thank you so much. I am very glad I got to share with you this very special time in my life.

A Quick Review of 2011

January 12, 2012

For this post I wanted to put out a very special thank you to my amazing clients. You inspire me daily with your incredible willingness to share your lives with me. I am honored, and humbled, to be chosen to photograph such awesome events in your lives. You invite me in to take an intimate peek at your families and your loves. Loves big and loves small. When I look back through the thousands of images that I take each year it makes me smile to know that I was a part of such spectacular events—both the big extravagant weddings and the intimate ceremonies on beaches, the sunny summer days and the rich color that the rain offers, the babies not yet born and the families, the laughing couples and the puppies, the boats on the water leading to private little islands, the warm California sun and Boston’s Newbury Street in the winter. I am always honored, for every moment.

And so when I say my clients are amazing and you think I am writing it just to make you feel good…I’m not. You guys blow those other clients of other photographers out of the water. Not because you are my clients and I’m your photographer, but because you are real people with real life stories and you’ve allowed me to be your storyteller. That, by my measurement, is a really awesome gift. I appreciate it and it does not go unnoticed…I just wanted you to know:)

My 2011 weddings were amazingly beautiful!
Photobucket

And here are a bunch of my portrait and engagement sessions from 2011:)
Photobucket

I am so so so excited to see what 2012 brings! I am fully booked for this wedding season (insert blushing here) and I love all of the couples that have booked with me:) Each year offers something new—a new approach or a new challenge or a new outlook on things—and I’m thrilled to see where this season brings us.
