Wow. What a week it's been.

This past weekend, I photographed Danielle & Jorge's Lovebird Session, Nicole & Michael's Walt Disney Themed Wedding (I know!) and, I just wrapped up my cousin Alexis's senior session. I've been so busy that I haven't even had time to blog! So without further ado meet: Savanah.

Savannah and I met a while back when I photographed her sister, Jenna for her senior portraits. At that time, I think Savannah might have been in 7th or 8th grade so it's been awhile. I actually photographed Savannah shortly after Jenna since their mom wanted professional photos of both of them :). Savannah hasn't changed one bit. She's still as spunky, fun, and upbeat as I remembered her to be. Her sister Jenna hasn't changed either! These two are like family to me. I love it when I can go to a photo shoot and just feel like I'm photographing two family members. Here's some of my favorites from our time together.

Mel knew of my name through a bunch of mutual friends. Although she was a senior at Somerset High, a school that I don't photograph often, she knew of the name "Ryan DeVoll" when thinking about her senior portraits. It's crazy to me to see how far I've come with seniors. To doing exclusively at Durfee High to now photographing seniors all over MA, it's awesome. 

She rocked her session at Horseneck Beach a few weeks ago. Now that the summer is officially over, I probably wont have the chance to go back here until next year. On that note - Goodbye summer, hello FALL! 

There are a lot of weeks where I tend to only pick up my camera when I need too. As if it's the outfit you put on for work. However, I remember one of my instructors at Hallmark telling me to keep shooting and never stop. Sure during the week I'm a busy bee. I have weddings to edit, clients to meet, and emails to respond to but that shouldn't stop me from keeping my creative juices flowing. 

This weekend, I decided to do just that — keep my creative juices flowing. My friends and I set out to find Parson's Reserve in North Dartmouth, MA. It's a beautiful daffodil field in the middle of the woods. At first, we just wanted to go to see the place and experience it and all of its beauty. But recently I've been trying to take my camera everywhere I go. And since I had my camera, it was photo shoot time for me and my friends. 

So we set off to Parson's Reserve and made some awesome images. 

I also introduced them to Geocaching. If you have no idea what this is, read about it here. It's SO much fun and we found a few right in Parson's Reserve! I'm not addicted to it and even spent $10 to have the full version of the app for three months but it's a blast if you love exploring and finding new places. 

Special thanks to Chelsea for modeling! You have to love having such adventurous and beautiful friends! 

Hi everyone!

Wow, it's been quite some time since I've written a blog post. It feels good to sit here on a rainy morning and type this out to you. This post is going to serve for an update for most of you. If this is your first time visiting the blog then, hello! Welcome to my little space on the inter-webs :)

Many of you know that over 3 months ago I moved away from my home town (Fall River, MA) and moved to a beautiful new loft space in Pawtucket, RI. This move was quite a jump for me. Moving away from a city I know so well, with all of my friends, family and favorite restaurants to a city where I know nobody, and have no idea where any god restaurants are is a huge leap for me. However, I've had my buddy Brian to rely on to keep me sane and to keep me company :)

Brian and I have known each other for almost 3 years now. We met in Hallmark Institute of Photography and were even suppose to be roommates. Since the roommate thing didn't pan out while we were at Hallmark, we decided to move in together in Pawtucket. Many of you know Brian as my assistant, my right-hand-man, my second shooter but he's also a great photographer who runs his own business as well :) 

With this beautiful new space we have we can't deny that it's perfect for photographing. During the first week when we moved in I photographed Brian for some new headshots. Last night, we finally got to an idea that I've had for a few weeks now. 

Enjoy Brian's face :)

With love,
Ryan
