Seeing “faces” in everyday objects. Each of these Beacon Hill doors is a…. PAREIDOLIA 👀.

Interestingly, a pareidolia is when the the our brain interprets “sees”” images and connects them to familiar objects.🧐

If you can’t travel to Italy this summer, explore the North End in Boston, especially during the weekend festivals throughout the month of August.

Sometimes things unfold without planning ahead…

I embarked on a day trip to Newport, RI with the intention of seeing the 500 colorful umbrellas at Brick Marketplace. Little did I know the exhibit unexpectedly came down a few days earlier. ☂️☂️☂️

As Waze navigated my way around Newport, I was greeted with a nice surprise: Brenton State Park on Ocean Drive. It wasn’t on my radar to visit, but Waze gave me a scenic gift. 🌊🌊🌊

Every door has a story to tell in Beacon Hill. 🤔🚪

Explore the magic that awaits at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill’s 2023 holiday display: Night Lights: Starry Skies. Walk along the winding pathways that lead to thousands of sparkling lights, walk-through tunnels and other dazzling surprises . Bundle up on a cold night and take a break inside sipping hot chocolate(amazing!) or warm apple cider and try a dessert at Farmer and Fork Cafe. There are twinkling light displays in front of the Visitor Center and in back of it. I almost missed seeing the HUGE displays in the back because I was so cold. I went inside the beautifully decorated conservatory to warm up, assumed I saw everything and was ready to head home. Then, I saw lots of people walking towards the back of the Visitor Center. Off I went to capture more photos! ✨💫📷

Waiting for a Winter Wonderland snowstorm. ❄️☃️❄️ Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄✨💫

My Story

Many moons ago, I worked as a travel agent. I had a fabulous time traveling around the world and taking pictures of just about anything that caught my eye or represented a destination I was visiting. Eight years later, my globetrotting days came to an end. I quit my job. I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming an entrepreneur. I took a flying leap of faith into the unknown without a clue of what to do next. On a December day in 2001, inspiration struck unexpectedly.

While walking along the Boston Common with my camera, I was in awe of the beauty around me: Beacon Hill’s beautiful 19th-century architecture and the winter scene at Frog Pond as ice skaters glided by. There were photo opportunities everywhere I looked! I wondered, do locals and visitors take the time to really observe the details of our historic city? Or, do they just keep walking and overlook their immediate surroundings? Suddenly, I had an epiphany: I am going to start a photo walking tour business in Boston and include fascinating, historical commentary too!

That serendipitous walk in the park changed my life. Long hours of research, marketing strategies, building content for a website, and mapping out itineraries followed. In six months, my entrepreneurial dream became a reality on May 1, 2002. PhotoWalks, Boston’s first photo tour business, launched with only two tours on the calendar: Beacon Hill and the Public Garden.

Today, there are a variety of photo tours, workshops, and scavenger hunts in Boston and beyond. In 2016, Private Photo Sessions were added to capture visitors’ experience in Boston in front of the camera – a great way for clients to explore the city and have professional pictures taken at scenic locations with historic and iconic landmarks in the background. Private photo sessions are also available for surprise marriage proposals and engagement pictures too.
