Wedding Photo Booth

March 26, 2008



I’ve been searching for a good company to work with in regards to supplying a photo booth rental at weddings. I came across this company, PartyBooths.com I like them because the booth itself is the newest and classiest that I found. If you’re setting one of these up at your reception, you want to make sure it matches the decor of the venue and your wedding. Photographically I like this company for a few reasons, 1. the lighting is professional quality, not some little flash in regular photo booths, 2. the backgrounds can be your own, you can buy interesting patterns at a fabric store. I would love to see a Damask pattern in Camel or Burgundy, the options are endless. 3. They are less expensive than other companies that provide the same service.

I had a great time volunteering for True Story Theater. It is a nonprofit ensemble based in the Boston area, they use theater for community development and social healing. Their work is primarily based on a form of improvisation called Playback Theatre, now seen in over 50 countries around the world. Check out more about them here.

New Album Options

March 21, 2008




The WPPI conven-
tion was excellent. I learned so much, it was really inspiring. On top of polishing up our business practices, I got to research, sample, touch and hold all the new albums available to professional photographers. The most exciting new collection to our line up is the Cypress Album. They are truly something amazing. To hold and feel the quality of these custom, hand made albums was the clincher for me.

I’m Off!…

March 13, 2008

…. to Las Vegas for the WPPI convention. I will try to answer as many phone calls and emails as I can while I’m away. But if not, all inquiries will be returned after Wed. March 19th. Hope all is well!




This week I will be getting ready to go to the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International convention in Las Vegas. I will be looking for new albums to offer. Knowing the latest and greatest possibilities to offer my clients is important. So you can be sure that if you hire Dias Photography, you will be getting the best quality products currently available. I am also interested in learning better business/technical practices to truly serve my clients as best I can.

The Sisterhood

March 10, 2008


Should women run the world? Well, if they did the way this cooperative household is, it might not be too bad. A place where support, creativity and respect rule. Boston has had it’s share of progressive women and this is today’s picture. Open and nourishing, honest and encouraging, this group of ladies take care of themselves (and know how to throw a good party!). Musicians and performers, artists and intellectuals, it was a pleasure to photograph them all. I hope you like the pictures : )


One of the greatest things about my job is all the wonderful people I get to meet and photograph along the way. This is a portrait of Dr. Eliana Gil. She is a critically aclaimed and internationally recognized speaker, author, mother and quite the engaging subject. Our time frame for the shoot was limited, but within 15 minutes we were able to walk away with the shot she wanted, plus some. For more information about Eliana, click on her link above.

My lecture at the Hallmark Institute of Photography went very well. I was well received and was able to impart some of my experience as a photographer to the students. The students were very inquisitive and had lots of questions for me. I’m very passionate about my work and am always happy to share what I’ve learned about photography. Here is a photo of me speaking on stage. Photo courtesy of Cory Silken

Madeira Family Portraits

February 9, 2008

This portrait session was done at the family’s house. Despite the large size of the group and the challenge of the limited space, I was still able to get the shot.
