Best described as a Photographic Artist, Ed’s passion, enthusiasm and love for photography is beautifully reflected in his creative, storytelling portraits. Dating back to the age of twelve, when he received his first camera as a gift from his parents, photography has been his passion. In 1992, following a twenty-five year career with the US Government, Ed took a leap of faith and followed his dream of pursuing a career in photography. Happily, he never looked back. Several years in to his career, he discovered his true love was photographing family and children and this became his photographic specialty.
Through Ed’s extreme commitment and dedication to his craft, he has earned a reputation as one of New England’s premiere family portrait photographers. His calm nature and friendly, outgoing personality is embraced by children and adults alike who feel naturally relaxed in his presence. His playful, childlike nature and his patience in working with children, enables him to create images that evoke real life emotion and capture true feelings.
In 2005, following a 30 year insurance career; Linda joined the studio full time. Her primary role includes the marketing, bookkeeping and general PR for the business but she is also an invaluable assistant to Ed during their portrait sessions.
Together they take great pride in creating a friendly, stress free atmosphere, providing superior customer service and capturing exceptional portraits of the many special moments in a family’s life. Their goal is simple and heartfelt…To build a long and trusted relationship with your family and to create portrait memories that will be treasured today and passed down to future generations to come. True personal ‘Works of Art’, far more precious and valuable than any possession one can own.
