Senior Portraits at Medfield State Hospital w/ Genevieve

A lovely photoshoot with Genevieve in honor of her starting her senior year of high school!

My job is already quite enjoyable, but this afternoon was especially easygoing. After we got the essential portraits, Genevieve, her mom, and I roamed the grounds of Medfield State Hospital. Genevieve even showed me how to identify the different types of glass in the building's windows! I love working with seniors who teach me something new through sharing their interests and passions :)

King Princess at House of Blues Boston

King Princess, also known as Mikaela Straus, made a stop at Boston’s House of Blues on November 2nd as part of their ‘Girl Violence’ Tour, supporting their newly released album of the same name. The show drew a sizable crowd that clearly reflected KP’s dedicated fanbase, many of whom have followed KP’s career since their breakout single “1950” in 2018. 

The Brooklyn-born artist’s latest record, Girl Violence, combines pop and rock influences with lyrics dealing with identity, self-perception, and an embracing of messy, queer love. Compared to earlier releases, this album leans more heavily on guitar and distortion, but not without holding onto the unique vocal melodies that have defined Straus’s work since the start of their career. The live production definitely matched that shift in tone — with an unfiltered stage presence and a graffiti-covered backdrop, to which KP adds each touring city’s name with spray paint at the end of every show.

My Approach to Natural and Artistic Senior Portraits

In the 7-8 years that I’ve been working with seniors, I’ve learned that there’s a graceful balance between observation, creative direction, and play.

If you want the results to feel genuine, you can’t apply the same formula to every person you work with. Sure, there are techniques you revisit that ultimately add up to your signature style, but I like to believe there are compositions and “happy accidents” that simply fall into place when you work with a person. Their character, body language, the conversations you share in between photos, and the unpredictability of nature & light serve as guides when you grant them the attention they deserve. Medfield State Hospital is one of those locations I’ve shot at hundreds of times, and yet there’s never a shortage of perspectives to discover — as long as I open myself up to the overlooked and unplanned.
