My precious Heather is getting married!  After many years of seeing these 2 grow over the years, I am thrilled to be a part of these two coming together in marriage!  Common law says they’ve probably been married for close to a decade, but who’s counting – this way we finally have a big party to attend!  They will be tying the knot at a local film house – a nod towards their love of everything film and television.  I jumped at the idea to shoot their engagement pictures in the theatre they will be exchanging vows in!

Local knitter, Beth Sthay, makes some amazing products – all with yarn!  We collaborated on a recent shoot of her products – scarves and drink mittens – for her soon-to-be website!  Special thanks to model Taylor for helping us out!

Since moving back from Canada in 2013, I’ve had the honour of working with a fantastic, gorgeous and philanthropic group of fabulous people called the Imperial Court of Massachusetts (ICMA).

They are one of over a hundred chapters located throughout Canada, Mexico and the USA that give back to their communities, especially within the GLBT community.  Their shows, balls and coronations always give back to some amazing causes and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing numerous events of theirs.  Here’s looking ahead to 2017 and continuing my work them.

I am proud and happy to share with everyone my first magazine cover!  I’ve been doing work for Pulse Magazine for a couple years now and this was my first cover for them.  The Worcester Music Awards is a great night to showcase local, regional and even national talent!  Below are some shots from the night and if you swing on over to my Portfolio, you will see the pages in the Published section.  Here’s to more shoots with the Pulse team!

Working with new models can create some amazing moments!  I had a session recently with newer model Taylor that blew us both away!  She is learning the ropes and I’m using my new light setup (thank you to the light gods that are Paul C Buff!!).  Here are some of my favorites from our session together.

After working on the Pulse Magazine Swimsuit Issue last summer, I met fitness aficionado Brandon Richard.  His dedication to nutrition, health and fitness is admirable.  Below are photos from our first shoot together – his first shoot altogether!  His goals toward running a fitness empire and as a successful fitness model are well within his reach.

From the minute Mikey walked into the studio – we both knew we’d get along like chicken fingers and fries!  Mikey is starting out in the modeling world, and wanted to test the waters.  I think you’d have to agree that he did an outstanding job!  Here are some shots from our day together.

RossKavPhoto is back in action!  I’ve got a treasure trove of shoots to share with you – the first being from constant collaborator Jessie Chris!

From working on her music video for Chameleon to having the honour of shooting her Wildfire album cover, Jessie is always working hard on creating something special for her fans.  We shot at the stunning Sudbury Grist Mill for the day.  Fun behind the scenes story:  After ordering pizzas to be delivered to us, Jessie literally ran a half mile chasing after the poor delivery driver who drove right past us!

Look, Ma!  I’m on iTunes!

Many thanks to the talented stylist Jessica Cavallaro Halloran for keeping Jessie’s looks on point.

Amanda and I did a shoot back in January – this time around, we both knew what we wanted, went for it and pushed ourselves to get some amazing images!  I can only imagine what we will come up with NEXT time!

On shelves July 2 will be the Pulse Magazine 2015 Swimsuit Issue.  Pick your copy up at your local bar, pub and shop in and around the Worcester, MA area starting next week.  I assisted my constant collaborator Justin Mayotte once again for a fun, relaxed and inspiring shoot!  The models were nice enough to let me shoot some one-on-one’s with them after we got the shots for the magazine (Thank you models!).  Below are some BTS and a couple other shots from the day.

I was the photo assistant on a recent promo shoot for the upcoming BMAX Fitness website – launching soon!  Andy Berler – trainer to the Patriots Cheerleaders (and now the Redskins cheerleaders), will be launching his site BMAXStrong.com on May 26th!

Rising model Alexander Thyng is very comfortable in front of the camera.  I recently came to know him through his Instagram and we decided to shoot together – albeit a brief shoot!  There will be more to come with this model as him and I concoct some crazy, funky, edgy shoots over the next few months.
