On the last official day of winter, ice droplets fall from the evergreens in Boothbay ME.

I just have to crow about this. Last week the student photographers in my program at Boston University won nine of the fifteen awards in the Boston Press Photographers Association annual college photo contest. We rock.
Sometimes the best moments just happen. We were on the way to the beach for portraits of Melissa when a rowdy band of Russian bikers came by and became honorary members of the wedding party.
This weekend I had a great time photographing a surprise party for a good friend's mother, who showed the surprise worked as she came through the door.
At a wedding in February Kate was being sequestered away from all the guests, but she couldn't resist sneaking a peek around the corner as the moment for her grand entrance approached.
I've been an avid photographer since I was nine years old, and my camera has enabled me to share experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. During my career in photojournalism, I covered everything from political campaigns to sports championships, and now I photograph the special stories of people's lives as they marry and celebrate family milestones.
I've been blessed with a marriage to a wonderful partner, and two nearly grown children who remind me what life is all about.
In addition to my own photography, I teach the next generation as the director of the photojournalism program at Boston University, work that brings me more satisfaction than I ever thought possible.
