From the first time I talked to Dasha on the phone, to our final consultation prior to our photoshoot, I knew she was a bit nervous for the session, but from the moment I saw her radiant eyes and irresistible curls, I knew that she had absolutely nothing to worry about! Dasha and Arnaldo have been married five years. To celebrate this anniversary they asked me to take some nice photos of them around Boston, as they haven’t done this before. I tell you – most of the time, very few of my clients are ever experienced in front of the camera, after all, my clients are normal people, not models! Dasha and Arnaldo are so nice and so warm to be around. Even if Arnaldo would rather have me focus on his wife, I think they make a great pair! One of my favorite things to photograph, other than weddings, are married couples. There’s that comfort that they have around each other and a celebration of lasting love that is so inspiring!
Our photoshoot occurred by the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) and the general seaport district, one of my favorite and most architectural places to shoot!
I think that the dress and necklace that Dasha chose really make a statement!

Is that water on the ground? Yep, living in Boston means lots of thunderstorms in the summer! But we waited it out in the car and it worked out!

Wow, wow, and wow!
Thank you thank you to a favorite person of mine, Carolina of From Hair to Eternity, for enhancing Dasha’s already-gorgeous looks! Also, they really chose colors that pop for their clothing, makes a difference!

This shot took a couple of tries – there was a wedding happening at the hotel behind us and many cars were coming in and out!
After the thunderstorms…. come the amazing clouds and sunshine!!
