Free Express Shipping Until December 18th
You know the utter thrill of last-minute Christmas shopping? I know, right?! There’s just no better place to be than the mall on December 23rd, right around 6pm. Wait, you sometimes ‘forget’ presents for members of your family to make sure you can pretend you’re Danica Patrick* in the parking lot and throw elbows at the JCrew sales shelves, too?
Ahem. :) Just typing that paragraph made me a bit jittery. As such, we’re keeping the MG workshop open until this Friday to make sure you’re NOT at the mall at 6pm on December 23rd. If ‘relaxation’ and ‘less stress’ is your thing.
Prints make beautiful, personal gifts, and we’re Express shipping them to you for…free! Orders of $100 or more receive free UPS Next Day Air shipping from our print lab, until noon on Friday. They’ll arrive at your door, complete with tissue paper, boxes and bows, before Christmas.
Let us know how we can help you have a more relaxed, joyful holiday season. Happy Holidays, from Mariah Gale! :)
*Was that a…NASCAR reference? Forgive me. In defense, I finished all of my shopping today!

The T Family | Boston Family Photography | Mariah Gale
Another catch up! This family was positively thrilling to work with. Gorgeous gardens, decor, and people to photograph made my job so easy. We focused on capturing the kids as they are, and their sweet little souls just shone for the camera. While a lot of my work that I post is with models, I absolutely love doing family sessions like this. Who wouldn’t?
*A quick note on Christmas ordering: All orders that you need by Christmas must be made by the end of this week.* And thank you to all of the families who have sent me holiday cards with photos from their sessions! I have them all festively (some would say vainly?) displayed on my bulletin board next to my desk. :)

Maddy and Ben | MA Modeling Photography | Mariah Gale
Playing catch-up from the Summer months, from which I have a whole lot of shoots to post. Maddy and Ben are both sibling models with Cameo, so we spent a morning doing portfolios for each of them (and sneaking in some sibling shots, too!). You might recognize Maddy from “Gone Baby Gone”, in which she played the daughter a couple years ago.

Jordan Puzzo | MA Modeling Photography | Mariah Gale
I am SO thankful for this studio. It’s divine to be able to shoot with natural light and look out our windows at the snow/rain/wind/general new england weather. I actually found myself opening one of the windows today, as we get so much sun in there! The outer grounds of the building have proven to be a great backdrop, too- I LOVE those blue stairs, and those brick walls.
Here’s a recent studio shoot with Jordan, a Cameo Model. We gave him a variety of looks- from street to ‘beach’, and I think his mom better have a plan to lock him up in the next few years!

Rebecca’s Bridals | MA Wedding Photography | Mariah Gale
Hello, (not forgotten) readers! The blog has a little re-vamp, including an updated logo and banner. We’ll be changing a few things with design around here, launching a new website, and hopefully posting a lot more clients in the coming weeks. Pop over to the “Our Studio” page above to check out our newest news- we’ll be shooting models in a bright, natural light studio for this chilly NE Winter!
Beautiful Rebecca. We shot at Valley Forge State park, where the light (and deer!) were plentiful, and the park rangers were a little more than miffed with the fact that we had styled not only the bride, but the trees (sorry, ranger! but do you SEE THIS SHOT?!). Admittedly, the guilty frame shots, toward the end of the series, are my favorite ones. They remind me of a very New England Anthropologie catalog spread.
Without further ado, I present Rebecca, and it’s perfectly alright to covet her hair:
