I come up to Boston twice a year to visit my sister while she’s at school. With every visit, I am assured of at least three things:
- we will drink a lot of coffee
- we will do a lot of walking
- I will take a lot of pictures (of her)

This visit was no exception. We visited the same 2 cafes every day for our daily doses of caffeine. We walked so much that my feet blistered with both pairs of shoes I wore. And I took hundreds of photos of Shannon. I’d say it was a successful trip!

 
This one’s pretty funny – as I was instructing her to bend over and smell the flowers, someone drove by and yelled out ‘YEAH!’. Guess that’s what happens when you’re, uh, well endowed on the back side?

 
I hate shooting people in the middle of the day when it’s so bright out – I actually get asked about this a lot, and it seems that a lot of people assume that the middle of a bright, sunny day is ideal for photoshoots. NOT TRUE! As you can see here, the harsh sunlight cast some weird shadows on Shannon’s skin. It’s just not very flattering. But I couldn’t *not* capture Shan with the gorgeous fences and flowers along Comm Ave :) Sometimes you gotta just make do with what you’ve got!

 
This is me making a cameo here :) Shannon made me dress up with her and trek down to the harbor on a windy evening for a shoot. As you can see, but I went barefoot. Mostly because I didn’t have any shoes that went particularly well with the dress, but also because my feet were destroyed by the shoes I DID have with me in Boston. And, well, I hate shoes anyway. They hate me, too. At least we’re on the same page!

 
We didn’t have much time before the sun went down, but I managed to squeeze in a short series of photos of her by herself.
