Elm Bank

A few weeks ago Bob traveled to Elm Bank in Wellesley to scout out locations for what was then an upcoming engagement session. I'm hoping I can convince him to post some of the e-pics on here later.

Elm Bank was once a private estate but it is now operated by the Massachusetts Horticulture Society. Hopefully one day I'll get to visit, but in the mean time I'll just have to sustain myself and you with some of Bob's fine art photographs of the gardens.

He has two more, but I'm going to save those for another day.

Shuster Family Sneak Peek

The Shuster family recently purchased one of Bob's donated family portrait packages through an auction at their temple. Bob of course was delighted and everyone met a little over a week ago for their shoot at the Larz Anderson Park in Brookline.

Between the intermittent rain drops Bob captured some classic portraits. Here are two of the Shuster daughters Emily and Abby.

There's plenty more, but you'll have to ask the Shuster family to see them.

I don't think I'll be back before next week, so have a happy weekend everyone!

Playing Catch Up

Things have been pretty busy over here at the Ruscansky studio... I've been filling album orders like mad which means I've been neglecting the blog. BUT I'm finally caught up... at least until Bob walks into this tiny office and gives me something else... so I'm blogging. Hooray for that.


In addition to albums I've been putting together some new promotional materials. The joy of being a photographer is that you always have new material to show clients, which means that you can always being doing something to update your website or blog or printed promotional items. It's a blessing and a curse. Since I can't post 30 album pages for you to see, I thought I'd share an image that will soon be a postcard coming to a mailbox near you. Well, if you're lucky.
I wish my living room looked like that. I think my problem is I have too many books... no bookshelf is safe, it always ends up filled to the brim. More to come soon. Until then, this is Stefanie over and out.

P.S. Bob just walked in... I have something else to do.

Bar Mitzvah Smooth

All I'm saying is that every young man should look this good on the day of his Bar Mitzvah.

Ms. Laura

Ms. Laura recently came into Bob's studio for a few classy portraits. As it turns out she's a local Real Estate broker who was looking to update her look for her website and advertising campaign. I mean if you're looking to buy or sell a home you want to know who you're working with right?

So together, Ms. Laura and Bob created some really beautiful professional portraits that are sure to knock your socks off. I know I just found my next broker...

Portrait Time

How about a little Thursday portrait fun?

Mr. Kim is an architect in Boston and recently became a member of the State Board that screens architects for state projects. With that membership comes the need for a new portrait for the Board website. Enter Bob and his studio.
Admit it, you're jealous of the tie. I think it's awesome.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Check back next week to see what's coming next. Stefanie out!

Moira and David's Wedding

After that Bat Mitzvah post I bet I've got you wondering what's coming next.

I don't? Oh.

Well, I promised a wedding and here it is. Potential Grooms I suggest you either leave the room or persuade your loved one not to keep reading. Reading this blog may be the equivalent of catching that bridal bouquet. And we all know that you would rather your loved one come home with a black eye than catch that bouquet. You've been warned.

And now for the beautiful Bride.

Of course you can't forget the Groom.

At the reception, the cutting of the cake starts out normally enough, and then turns into my favorite cake cutting event ever. The food toss.
See, weddings can be fun! I have no idea what happened to her dress and if it lived to see another day without frosting, but does it matter? Moira, I respect your nerve.

P.S. Best wishes to the happy couple!
