When it rained, it poured as we captured a short lifestyle video of Timberland’s Waterproof Technology in action! We learned to embrace nature as it comes and enjoy the good things. The best part of the shoot was having the option to stay dry and deciding not to.

Life’s a Little Sweeter with UNREAL Candy
Mouth watering tastes and eye-catching colors filled the studio when UNREAL came on set to shoot their bold new packaging. We love what UNREAL is about- great tasting candy made with all natural ingredients, or in other words, candy that is “unjunked”. That made us feel a little less guilty as we snacked on candy coated chocolates and peanut butter cups throughout the day!
Mmm, the final product!

Spring is Just Around the Corner
Michael surveys a sea of plants
It’s the middle of Winter and if Nature had its way, nothing would bloom. Well today we are seeing something that we usually don’t see this time of year – flowers and plants in full bloom. Michael took the team to Cavicchio Greenhouses in Sudbury to conjure up some Springtime magic, even if it’s below freezing outdoors. That’s no problem, as the temperature in these high-tech greenhouses is a comfortable 75 degrees all year round. Surrounded by glimpses of the Spring to come, seeds of a beautiful shoot are sown with the terrific team from BJs .

Smoothie Power!
With the change in weather, we thought it was time to get fit and ready for the summer. We started off our beach diet shooting with the great a client to get some healthy and tasty images into their cafes. All of the smoothies were delicious and gave us the energy to power through and create great pictures all day long! See below for a few of the final ads;

Brit Gets Stuck on Boston
Recently we were contacted for a photo shoot with the fabulous Brit Morin of Brit +Co and her new partner Velcro Industries. With Brit flying in from San Francisco and the shoot scheduled just days away, we swiftly moved into production with a great crew to create an entire set made of VELCRO® Brand. The shoot went flawlessly and the client was thrilled with the results, as was Brit. Look for her on the Velcro Industries site throughout the year, especially during the 2013 Holidays!

Paris to the Carribean and Back
As promised, here is the second installment of the ads we created with our friends at AAA. It was a fun challenge to set-up a pool in sub freezing temperatures, assemble a 1000 piece puzzle and navigate through the crowd at Gillette stadium during a Patriots game. We are always willing to go the extra mile to have a happy and satisfied client at the end of the day!

Dreaming of a Winter Vacation
Now that we have dug ourselves out from the blizzard of 2013 here in Boston, it seems fitting that we start fantasizing about going on a warm vacation. We were contacted by the creative team at AAA to make a series of images that would transform you from the routine of everyday to a place you would rather be. Here are the first two in the series with more to come!

Earthkeepers for Timberland
We were really blown away with how our client, Timberland, used our photography from a recent shoot in the design of their rustic, moody catalog. Take some time to check out a few pieces from the latest Earthkeepers Collection below; we hope you feel as inspired as we did after this shoot! (Special thanks to Mari Quirk who provided some amazing surfaces for this shoot.)

Cumberland Farms – Surprises Around Every Corner
Only three weeks into the new year and things are already “snowballing” here at the studio, so we wanted to share a the 3rd in a series of Cumberland Farms winter ads. We had a lot of fun creating this shot on set, and hope the behind-the-scenes are as entertaining for you as the day was for us.
