This website has been boring lately. I've been super busy and have not had time to post on here as much as I would like to!
A friend told me at dinner last week that she thought I had dropped off the face of the planet with no calls or website updates. "Are you sleeping all day?" she said. Aside from the days that I have - yes, slept all day, here is a look at what I've been up to.
If Jason can't hide - neither can I :)
Old Town Trolley had me back for a third photo shoot - this time for their
Ghosts and Gravestones tour.
Best ghost tour EVER! - BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!!
...We had fun with this one!
MORE FROM THIS SHOOT COMING SOON!
I've been trying to visit my friend Giovanni as much as possible, too.
I can't wait to see you this week pal!
SIMPLE AND PAINLESS!
I finally took my bone marrow donors test.
Save Giovanni's Friends is nearing it's 15,000th donor! CONGRATULATIONS Giovanni!
The beautiful Kai Leigh Harriott.
Her inspirational story, coming soon!
I shot another great event for
Hopple Popple last week. This one was at the

We had a gallery show at school!

It's that time of year!
I shot a first communion last month, too.

Kathy and I were jealous so we found our own medals!

We graduated from

Hits for Kids held it's first benefit dinner last night, hosted by David and Sharon Yogel, Kevin Youkilis and Enza Sambataro.
A very intimate setting for a charity dinner!
Place cards for Enza & Kev.
The WONDERFUL people from
Morton's Steakhouse, Back Bay were kind enough to donate their catering services to Hits for Kids.
I HIGHLY recommend the Morton's salad with apples and walnuts... and their pomegranate martini! ...The steak is alright, too!
David Yogel, with Sharon and Renee in the mirror!
Enza, looking hostess-like.
Guests arriving.
Chatting with Renee, probably about the charity!
New friends.
Our informal group shot on the stairs!
I don't like to post photos of people eating dinner, but here is one for you to get the idea...
Favors by
Harvard Sweet Boutique, of course!
Lesson of the night? Doing good things for others is fun!
This group of people all met for the first time last night. They enjoyed GREAT food, made friends, learned about
Hits for Kids, and got to ask Kevin a thing or two about that job of his... More importantly, they were given the opportunity to help us help the kids who need it most. It is because of each generous individual that Hits for Kids was able to have such a successful first year.

The
Ad Club of Boston is an age old organization filled with members from the wonderful world of advertising. The Ad Club holds between 12-20 events a year ranging from awards banquets to seminars and even golf tournaments. They are always a great time and are the perfect place to network! Yesterday the Ad Club held a series called "Here's the Pitch" at Fenway's
Game On.
Signage by the amazing Kim Nolen!
Key people which I need ID's on! :)
Happy advertisers thankful to be spending their Monday lunch break at Game On!
Dedicated.
Ad Club president Kathy Kiley.
Fran Kelly, CEO of
Arnold Worldwide.
Mr. Kelly gave a great presentation about pitching ad campaigns. You wouldn't believe the time effort and money that goes into simply proposing an idea for an ad! If anyone can do it though, it's Arnold. They have some of the most recognizable brands under their belt, including VW, Volvo, Jack Daniels and Ocean Spray.
Side note about me:
I never considered a career in advertising photography until recently. After taking a class with a renowned commercial advertising photographer and then being introduced to the Ad Club, I am pretty inspired to give it a go. I actually just wrapped up my first campaign for Old Town Trolley Tours of Boston. It was a TON of fun and I hope that this is the beginning of something great!
