Robin Athey | Updated Headshots | Boston, MA

There is nothing more important than good headshots for your website and marketing materials. Robin, the founder and president of Integral Growth, LLC, a consulting and research firm based in Boston, came to us today for this very need. She was looking for a few formal headshots, as well as some casual, more natural/outdoor type shots. We photographed for about an hour in home/studio and another hour outdoors.

Two key elements lent a hand to the success of todays shoot. Fantastic professional makeup by Dani Wagener (Best of Boston 2007 & 2008) and my trusty assistant, and lovely wife :-) Maria. Dani did an incredible job and Robin simply raved about working with her today! But having an on-site stylist is so clutch as well. Maria constantly adjusts hair and clothing, makes suggestions, and adds such a helping hand that I am nearly composing and watching my exposures.

Today’s photos were shot with the Canon 100mm f/2.0 lens and my Canon 5DII. I used a gold reflector to add some fill light but No artficial lighting was used for this shoot.

If you are in need of new or updated headshots, please contact Maria at Maria@BrianPhillipsPhoto.com and/or simply fill out our contact page on this blog. Photoshoots are done on location as well in our home studio. Studio shots are photographed side by side with a monitor so we can see exactly what we are getting as it is photographed.

Makeup: Dani Wagener

Pirates on Boston Harbor | Wedding | Greatest Bridal Party Ever!

Ok, just kidding..really not the bridal party. But I definitely had one of the most fun brides ever today! When most brides would shy away from such a picture, Andrea saw these sultry buccaneers coming and immediately called them over for a shot. Andrea and Greg were married today and had their reception at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Blog post of their amazing wedding planned by Tangorra Wedding Planning to follow shortly!

Lauren & Dan | Wedding | The Barn at Gibbet Hill

This April I photographed a gorgeous wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill for my neighbor’s daughter, Lauren. Lauren got ready just one house down from mine, and the church, St. Patrick Parish in Watertown, also just down the street. This sure made the first part of my day a wedding photographer’s dream! We teamed up with photographer Helen Makadia, whose new talent I have just recently discovered! Maria and I were so excited to work with her and we hope to see her at many more of our weddings. Thank you Helen for your excellent second shooting!

Happy Mothers Day | XOXO

Happy Mother’s Day wishes to all of the Mom’s out there. Being a new Dad, I can now fully appreciate how special this day is. Seeing the bond between mother and child from my new point of view is just incredible and I (we) are so fortunate for MOM who takes care of us even when we don’t even know it. XOXO

Magezi Mukandala - He is simply adorable. I can see Maria in there, but is definitely a Phillip. It is just incredible seeing such a blend of features come out so cute.

Courtney & Ryan | Engaged | Boston Public Gardens

We met up with Courtney and Ryan this past weekend in downtown Boston on Newbury Street and walked up and around Commonwealth Avenue and the Boston Public Gardens. The tulips and cherry blossoms were out in full force and they just added such an extra bit of amazing color to their pics. I only wish they were up all summer long. Courtney and Ryan are getting married this summer at the Intercontinental Hotel Boston.
