Pleasant Street photography project with the Tiny Hanger

The Tiny Hanger children’s clothing store opened on Pleasant Street in Brookline less than a month ago. As part of their opening, Roberto Farren Photography teamed up with the wonderful owner of the store, Lucia, to set up a community driven photography project.

Pleasant Street has a number of vacant properties that are yet to be filled and hopefully that will change very soon. In the meantime, instead of leaving them as empty eyesores, I set about photographing local community members to fill these spaces with cheerful images of the people that make Brookline, well, Brookline.

I have recently set up my business in the Boston area, just like Lucia, and it is always nice to be able to give something to a community that you hope to be working with in the future. While I shoot mainly on location as a wedding photographer in Boston, or shoot family portraits at favorite locations in New England, this was something that I really enjoyed doing, and it offered me a very unique opportunity to capture a wide variety of people. I would like to thank Lucia at the Tiny Hanger for making this project possible and for the initial idea behind it! I would also like to thank all of those people that took part in the project. I hope that you all enjoy looking at the final display once it is up. Below are just a few great examples of the shots we got over the sittings we did at the Tiny Hanger.

If you haven’t had the chance to pop into The Tiny Hanger to check out the latest and greatest addition to Brookline, then you should head on in and have a chat with Lucia and welcome her to the neighborhood. We are hoping to have the project printed and up in time for the First Light Festival which take place in Brookline  on the 17th of November 2011. I shall unfortunately be missing this year’s event as I shall be back in the UK visiting family.

Should you wish to get in touch with me regarding this photography project then do not hesitate to do so by visiting the contact page and sending through an e-mail. If you would like to discuss Boston wedding or family photography coverage then please feel free to drop me a line to sort out a meeting or book a time to get some great family photos. I shall also be working with the Tiny Hanger in future and offering my family photography services through them. You can “like” the facebook page here and that will keep you up to date with this project and any of the other happenings at Roberto Farren Photography.

I hope that you all had a great Halloween and look forward to getting this project up for all to see.

Cheers,

Roberto
