Portrait Session: Australian and U.S. Family
I met up with the Wyler family for a portrait session in July at Wellesley College. That’s a great spot for portraits because there’s a mix of gardens, ponds an arboretum and great looking structures for a healthy supply of backgrounds. I had previously photographed Marisa and Paul’s engagement session and they had me back a second time when they had the whole family together, an important moment in this case as many of their relatives were visiting from Australia.
Kaitlyn’s High School Senior Portrait
I was back in Groton, MA to photograph Kaitlyn for her high school senior portrait on referral from another Groton family. We did a combination of color and black and white as well as some indoor and outdoor photography. We’re able to do a few outfit changes as well as incorporate items to highlight hobbies or school activities, like sports, or in Kaitlyn’s case, her musical talents.
Newborn Baby Photo Session, Mason, NH
I visited Lindsay and Jason’s home in Mason, NH to photograph their newborn baby girl. My favorite is the sleeping baby with stuffed animals keeping her company.
Engagement Session Gallery
An engagement session is a 1 hour photography experience celebrating the beginning of the journey of wedding planning. Often the first time a couple has been professionally photographed together, scheduling an engagement portrait session is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to get to know your photographer. In addition to prints and gallery wrap canvas, a DVD slideshow set to music along with a link to share on social networks like Facebook are available in addition to photo guest books, signature boards, and a variety of photos provided by the photo shoot can be used for your Save the Date cards.
Children & Toddler Portrait Gallery
One of the best ways to photograph kids is to just let them interact with each other or their environment. Parents are encouraged to work with NH portrait photographer Kevin Jacobus to engage their kids- whether taking a few moments as part of a family portrait session in a local park, or just dedicated solely [...]

Vicky and Jim’s Portrait session
I had the pleasure of photographing Vicky and Jim, a Canadian couple from Saskatchewan for their portrait session on location near their home in Chelmsford, MA. Jim works here while Vicky is in graduate school in Boston. They hadn’t been photographed in awhile and because of distance, don’t get to see family often, so they decided to do a portrait session. They included their cute pomeranian dogs in some photographs too.
Amy and Mike’s engagement session at the Boston Public Gardens
I photographed Amy and Mike’s engagement photos at the Boston Public Gardens May 2, 2009. I had only just begun the session when I noticed a family with a little girl who, by her appearance, looked like she may have been in treatment for cancer. The father watched us and upon realizing I was a professional photographer, approached and asked if I could take a photo of his daughter with the beautiful light in the park. They had flown in from Chicago in a rush against time for surgery in a Boston hospital for their daughter, who I’ll call “Hannah from Chicago.” He explained that she was supposed to be in remission until a recent appointment when another tumor was found in her brain. He was very apologetic for interrupting, but I think Amy, Mike and myself were moved by the request. I was more than happy to oblige, and Amy and Mike didn’t mind giving up some time on a beautiful sunny day. Amy works in a medical profession, so she knew what was at stake.
I followed up with Hannah’s father Neal a few days later, and here was his reply from his blackberry, still at the hospital: “I am replying from hospital. Surgery successful. Tumor (re-occurance) completely removed per this afternoon’s MRI! We are so relieved. Thank you with you kindness regarding the photos. We felt bad interrupting your job, but were simultaneously chilled by the possibility that she might not be able to walk or smile if the surgery failed.”
I was glad Neal was brave enough to approach me. To me, this is a reminder of why photographs are so important. You never know when life will hang in the balance and it’s important to capture the good times. It was a good day, and I was grateful to be a part of it. Interesting how timing came together to make it all happen. Here’s a photo of Hannah, along with photos of Amy and Mike:
Images with IMPACT
Kevin is teaming up with a Boston non-profit organization to do portraiture and donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit Impact Boston. 2009 is shaping up to be a tough year for many. Non-profits will no doubt struggle to provide services at the level they have in the past. It’s my intention for this year to have a portion of my professional and creative endeavors benefit those in need, and my belief is you get back what you give. So read on to learn more, see how you can take part, and also receive something of value in return.
Caitlin and Chris
I photographed Caitlin and Chris for their engagement session at Harvard Yard and along the Charles River on the Cambridge side. I’m photographing their wedding in August. They’re both Harvard grads, hence the setting. They’re having their wedding reception at the Seaport Hotel.
Stephanie & Rob
I photographed an engagement session with Stephanie and Rob at the Arnold Arboretum in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston Nov. 1, 2008. I’m shooting their wedding at the Boston Park Plaza in July. Stephanie works for the Museum of Science, which also hosts wedding receptions.
