two weekends ago, i had the pleasure of hanging out with calvin and lindsey for an engagement shoot in lindsey’s hood (JP). it was so awesome because it didn’t feel like a shoot at all, but rather just spending time with a really fun couple on a lovely saturday morning. the morning started off with the fulfillment of lins’ dream of standing in the middle of a huge rotary in jamaica plain:

then we walked to nearby jamaica pond, where lindsey and calvin shared silly stories about high school proms, and we took some “awkward” photos to go with:

while adventuring through JP, we also managed to hit up a few yard sales.

my absolute favorite part of the morning though, was when we walked by the JP mansions and thought, what a nice pretend house to have. haha. here are the proud new owners of a JP mansion. welcome!!!

lindsey and calvin, it’s been such a huge blessing for me to have witnessed your love for each other grow over the past few years. it’s so natural to be around you two as you share, laugh, and genuinely enjoy each other’s presence. thank you so much for allowing me to serve you in this way!

jeanette is the sweetest. after i first posted ian and amy’s pics on this blog, jeanette emailed me that she loved my photos and that i HAD to do her engagement and wedding pics…little did i know that they would come so soon after!

jeanette and steven met while working together at the NIH doing good things for the world like finding cures for malaria. because her work required her to often spend time abroad, jeanette and steven had to seize the time that they had together. it was funny because jeanette had already scheduled a shoot with me while she was planning to come back from london a week early to surprise steven…all the while steven was planning an engagement surprise for her! anyway, neither of the surprises worked out, but jeanette and steven were engaged nonetheless and i had the pleasure of hanging out with them on an absolutely beautiful day at the esplanade.

are there cherry blossoms in boston?? i have no idea what they are – but they are gorgeous!

then we made our way over to mit, and we managed to sweet talk ourselves back into the mccormick penthouse for breathtaking views of the boston skyline, haha.

for more pics, see the gallery!

you guys are the best. can’t wait to see you back in boston soon!

angela and kenny, you guys must hold a special place in my heart because this is the third post on the two of you!

the story of angela and kenny began in the bcec garden. the story – as i was told – was that angela and kenny had both volunteered to work in the garden one summer. because kenny often drove angela home, they got to know each other better…and then, their love for each other blossomed (ha, ha). now that the bcec garden is in full bloom, we went back to document the beginning of their love story.
