M is for…

 Mothers, Musicals and Masters of Ceremonies.  And they all fall in the month of May, of course.  I had a wonderful maternity session with Frederic and Manuela (also another M)!  They had their baby the day after we took photos!  Pretty good timing, right?

In the previous entry, I showed a photo similar to the one below that was posted in the Boston Herald.  If you look closely, you’ll see that instead of Diane Paulus, it’s Lewis Black, the comedian.  This event was for the Johnny Baseball musical opening night party at the A.R.T. in Cambridge.

And lastly, I photographed the Urban College of Boston’s graduation at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.  Below is a photo of President Linda Turner with Donna Makin Coard, the late wife of Robert M. Coard, fouding President of UCB, who recently passed away in November 2009.

A.R.T.’s Opening Night party of Johhny Baseball included some big hitters; one of them being Bill Lee, a former Red Sox player.  One of my photos of Bill, lyricist Willie Reale and Diane Paulus was published in the Boston Herald.  If you’re interesting in reading the full article go to:  Boston Herald.

Karen Snyder Photography…on TV.

Today I had one of those moments.  A moment of big smiles, hands clapping together and all around giddiness.  That’s right.  I found out that I’m on TV!  Although it’s not that long of a television career, I can say that appearing on NECN’s Style Boston makes me feel like a star! 

Check out NECN’s Style Boston website to see Karen Snyder Photography in action!

Megan Tongen - You ARE a star, Karen!!! I think you received more screen appearances than Emilio Sosa! Well done; you took great photos of the event, too. - MeganMay 29, 2010 - 12:56 am

pARTy & Experiment America

pARTy!! 

If you’re thinking that I put in capital letters where they shouldn’t be, you would be incorrect.  pARTy is the American Repertory Theatre’s gala event held once a year.  A.R.T.  Get it? 

Robert Brustein, the founder of the A.R.T., gave out The Brustein Award this year to four of A.R.T.’s finest actors; Karen MacDonald, Tommy Derrah, Remo Airaldi and Will LeBow.  In between the dinner, awards and live auction, the gala also had many different performances that included music from three productions of this season; Sleep No More, Best of Both Worlds, Johnny Baseball and The Donkey Show.   

The last photo of this set is Diane Paulus, artistic director of the A.R.T. and designer Emilio Sosa from Project Runway.  (Heidi Klum wore one of his dresses on the Red Carpet!)

A few weeks later, I photographed the Emerging America Festival which was the first year the American Repetory Theater, The Huntington Theatre and the ICA came together to deliver “the new American voices of tomorrow.”  Below are some photos from the Festival Kickoff!  Experiment America at the ICA

Early Childhood Education.

This past week I photographed two events for the Urban College of Boston.  The first being the Early Childhood Education Luncheon and the second the Early Childhood Education Conference.  Both were held at the Courtyard Boston Downtown/Tremont Marriot  on Tremont Street. 

The first luncheon was emceed by Karen Holmes Ward.  “Karen Holmes Ward is the Director of Public Affairs and Community Services as well as host and executive producer of CityLine, WCVB-TV’s weekly magazine program which addresses the problems, concerns, and accomplishments of people of color living in Boston and its suburbs.”

The conference included panel discussions and round table dialogues about early childhood education.  They had a live auction at the luncheon and one of the items was a Celtic’s basketball autographed by the Celtic’s team.

Light.

 In photographing students for The Steppingstone Foundation, I get to see their dedication and hard work as they come to the Boston Latin Academy on Saturday’s.  Each of these scholars have a light that shines out from them.  Fortunately, I was given a moment to capture it.

 This past weekend, I photographed three classical musicians…Eric Ruske, Jennifer Frautschi and Stephen Prutsman.  Even though I had been on Eric’s website, looking at his reviews, CD’s and teachings at Boston University, it wasn’t until I arrived at the studio while the three of them were recording that I was confirmed of their grand talent.  Being able to photograph fellow artists is one of my great loves.

Crystal Ball

The Crystal Ball, hosted by The Steppingstone Foundation, at the Four Seasons in Boston was themed Gatsby this year.  With all the pearls, feathers and 20’s style dresses, this ball put elegance to the test.
