I was getting a midnight snack from the kitchen when I looked out the window and noticed something odd. I couldn't see the house across the street! There was a crazy amount of moisture in the air tonight, and it was really doing some cool things. I quickly grabbed my camera & went outside.
How creepy are those trees?
Of course my father came outside with his laser pointer!
Neat huh?
My house. Gorgeous isn't it?
Favorite!
There was a group of kids hanging out down the street. Despite my better judgements, I approached them.
They turned out to be nice kids, and were willing to pose for me (after some convincing).
I said... stand in a straight line and do something. This is what they did.
Thanks you guys! (Don't forget to comment!)
FYI - Here is a quick weather lesson for you. Tonight's dew point was 45°F. The actual temperature was 46°F and rising!
What does that equal? Fog!
Moisture in air won't become visible until the temperature rises above the dew point. When it does, everything becomes saturated and foggy as you can see in my photos. I took a weather class in college and it's one of the few classes I really enjoyed.

Who doesn't love a Greek wedding? I was so excited to be a part of Sophia & Joe's wedding... Enjoy!

Thanks to my assistants for taking such great detail shots.
Look at Kiki pitching in to help one of the guys!

No cuts Joe...
Getting ready, father & son.
The ring bearer was SO excited to see Sophia, he ran over and gave her a huge hug.
Favorite!
How cool is this church?
ALSO A FAVORITE!!
In the Boston Public Gardens.
So funny...
I went a bit crazy with the couple shots at this wedding... but I love every single one of them!
Do you mind if I sell some of these to Vogue? Kidding...
Sophia & her dad.
Greek wedding - remember?
They brought in a Greek dance group that was simply amazing!

Thank you guys so much for having me! I really feel like I've known you both for so long - I hope we stay GREAT friends!

...Because I already bought everything!
Stephanie came over this afternoon with her sister while I did her senior portrait. As we were leaving to go outside, the door shut, and I realized that my keys were inside. With a few hours to kill until someone could let me in, I asked if anyone wanted to go to the apple store... Stephanie and her sister were down!
And look what I bought!
Stephanie was in shock.
Thanks for coming with me! Long overdue...
The new 24" Imac!
Steph hanging out at the Collection...
Blending in.
My christmas card? I think so!
By the way, I was always the person who said he'd never get a mac... I've always been a huge loyalist to Gateways, and they still hold a place in my heart. However, I just had to have this.
Saturday night was the Kevin Youkilis
Hits For Kids charity event at Mohegan Sun.
Kevin started his charity this year and "Crackin' Up!" was it's first big event.
Baseball themed, of course.
CBS funny man Mike O'Malley was the emcee.
I had given this woman my business card, and two seconds later I see Mike O'Malley SIGNING IT! I guess it was the only piece of paper she had handy... Ha!!
There was a silent auction with lots of great things for bid. Be sure to bid on the Michael Blanchard Photography gift certificate package next Spring!
Everyone's favorite Red Sox reporter - Tina Cervasio!
Jacoby Ellsbury.
Live auction winners.
The girls!
Mike O'Malley & Kevin Youkilis.

Terry Francona getting in on the action.
Youk, reacting to one of Enza's answers?
The place was full of laughter.
My siblings Joe, Carol, & I.
A BIG thanks to Kevin & Enza for a GREAT evening! Can't wait to work with you again...
update: Some of my photos ran in the Boston Globe this morning (Monday, Nov 12th, 2007). I have never had any photos in the Globe before, so it is kind of a big deal to me. I'm very happy with the ones they chose, and how the spread looks. A big thanks to Mark Shanahan for coordinating.
The credit gave my website address. I know that it's TINY but I am curious to know if any Globe readers stumbled here after seeing this - so if that is you, please comment below! THANKS!

This is Sarah & Mac's book... I'm obsessed with the cover photo! Hope you like too...
All books are custom to the job and vary in size and number of images per page.
My Father started playing the piano at Neiman Marcus in the Natick Collection last night. Neiman is renting a piano from the Steinway store on rt. 9 through the holidays to have outside of their entrance in the mall. Hearing it played made such a difference to the atmosphere of the mall (no bias!). It definately draws people towards Neiman, which I think is their goal.
I've actually never gone to see my Father play before... He is usually at the Ritz Carlton or a few other hotels and it would be strange if I went there to see him and take photos. However now that he's at the Collection, I think it's a riot!
I was actually at Nordstroms last night when my Mother called and said "By the way Dad's down the hall". I didn't know.
Mid-motion.
If you happen to pass by on a week night while shopping - be sure to say hi!
