Salem Photographer: Family portrait fundraiser 2010 to benefit Merry Mixers

Earlier this fall we helped raise over $3,000 for the Merry Mixers Friends of North Shore Children's Hospital in Salem, MA with a family portrait day at the beach! We thank our lucky stars that we picked a spectacularly beautiful day. Here are some images from the day's event.

Northeast Animal Shelter 'Dog Fun-Draiser'

Two dedicated dog-loving sixth grade girls, Morgan and Amanda, decided to help the local animal shelter, Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem MA and create a fundraising event called 'Dog Fun-draiser'. So, we at the studio decided to support their efforts and help them raise more money by donating a series of pet portraits to the event. Northeast Animal Shelter is one of New England's largest no-kill animal shelters. The June 6th event raised nearly $1,300 total in donations! 

Here's a great photo of Morgan and Amanda at the fun-draiser, taken by Marc and April Bernhardt, owners of Hydrant Regency, a dog boarding, daycare and grooming business located in Rowley, MA.

Express Yourself 'Red Hot & Blue' at the Citi Wang Theatre on May 19th

"Red Hot and Blue" was this year's theme for the annual performance by Express Yourself at the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theater. Express Yourself is a fantastic non-profit organization working with young people to explore their creativity through drumming, visual arts, music and dance. I've been covering the live event for the past ten years and the quality of the performance never ceases to amaze me with the colorful sets and natural talents of these kids.

salem academy students tour the studio

Three photography students and their teacher from the Salem Academy charter school scheduled a field trip to the studio to learn what it's like behind the scenes inside a real working studio. I expressed to them how my passion for photography started at a young age (in high school) and how important the business side of the studio is to success. Pictured here left to right, is Tom with his students Sarah, Raquel and Taylor.
