Old Sturbridge Village Photos

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a holiday party at Old Sturbridge Village. I have lived in this area for almost 6 years now and I had never been to this most beautiful and nostalgic place before. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to visit the village, speak with the "Interpreters" (folks dressed in OSV attire, who guide you through your journey of the past) and take in the beauty of days long gone by.

There are so many great photo opportunities here at OSV and so many things you can learn from the interpreters. They are a plethora of knowledge and a pleasure to spend some time with.

I was able to capture many, many images that day. here are just a few of the images I made, which will hopefully give you an idea of what you can experience during your visit to OSV. I recommend visiting the village to everyone, both young and old. You will most assuredly enjoy the experience, as I did.

I will definitely be back there very soon! Perhaps even to photograph a wedding. Now that would be an excellent place to make beautiful images of a wedding celebration!

Enjoy the images.

Sexy Valentine's Day Photos!

Throughout the month of January, we will be having a special on our Boudoir Photography services. What do you get for that special someone who has everything they need (a.k.a. you)? Beautiful, sexy, alluring and provocative photos - of you!

Turn up the heat, raise their temperature (and their heart rate) this Valentine's Day with some "ready for a magazine cover" images!

For the vast majority of us, everyday life tends to get in the way of romance and passion. Make this Valentine's Day special for you both whether you are newlyweds or even if you have been together for a long time. Our boudoir sessions will lift your spirits, energize your special someone and rekindle the flame you both share.

Nowadays all we see in the media are sexy images of beautiful women. Most women say they wish they could look like that. But we know that every woman is beautiful (not just the models on TV and magazines) and we'll prove it to you. You too can look just as good - if not better!

These sample photos are not hired models, they are some of our most recent clients.

We can customize unique gifts featuring your photos such as Albums, Playing Cards, Magazine Covers, Wall Calendars, Posters and other specialized intimate gifts to give your special someone an experience to enjoy over and over again.

Our Valentine's Day special begins January 1st, but don't wait to book your appointment! Our special V-Day pricing is sure to book up our calendar of available dates fast.

Wedding Photographer Lowers Prices in 2009!

You're probably saying to yourself right now...Yeah Right! That would never happen! But read on and you'll see it's true.

Here's how we are able to do this.

At the end of each year, we always take a look at what has worked and what hasn't over the past year in our wedding photography business in an effort to run our business more efficiently and cost effectively.

We research better ways to do things and use information from various sources as well as feedback from our past wedding clients as to what they liked, what they would like and what they need from a wedding photographer. We listen to our clients and we are constantly trying to improve our services, and products to give you the very most for your investment in us. This is only part of how we go "above and beyond" to serve you better.

We have closely analyzed our business practices in 2008, we have entered into some new partnerships with labs and other companies and we have also streamlined our studio services without losing anything (or anyone) important.

It's because of this and also because we know that we are all feeling the current economic crunch that we have been able to rearrange our wedding photography packages and we have been able to lower our prices for our 2009 wedding photography services.

What's even better about this is that instead of getting LESS, now each of our packages will include MORE than what we were able to offer before! That is an incredible feat for us and we are very excited and happy to be able to do this.

Our 2009 wedding packages will all still include, coverage, proofs, and an album, all which we can customize to better suit your needs, style and budget.

Sure, we could have just kept more money for ourselves, but we really want your business! So instead we chose to pass the savings on to our wedding clients.

We are really excited to be able to provide our couples with better services, cooler technology, quality albums and lower prices in 2009 thanks to these new partnerships. We will also continue to evaluate our services, our partnerships with current companies and our own business practices to provide you with the most value for your wedding photography investment.

So if you're looking for a wedding photographer or you know anyone who is, send them to us for top notch, professional and personal services. Contact us at: 508-216-5898 or via e-mail at: info@DiazDD.com for more information about our wedding photography services.

In 2010 we will continue to strive to offer the best possible services and keep our value up and our prices reasonable.

Thank you for considering us for your professional wedding photography needs! We hope to be able to help you "Discover the beauty in your world" in 2009 and beyond.


At your service,
Ed Diaz

Family Portrait Month 2008

I really love when Family Portrait Month rolls around!

That is when I usually get the most number of families coming in to have their portraits made, whether it be for holiday cards, to give as gifts or just to cherish for themselves.

I love meeting and getting to know these people a bit more. Like this new family who just returned from Ethiopia with two wonderful children. I really enjoyed our portrait session and it was certainly my honor to be chosen to capture the images that they will keep close to their hearts.

Thank you Rachael and Adam for the opportunity!

Every family's stories are so different and interesting and the fact that people can be so different, yet come together for a common good cause such as Operation Smile means so much. I feel fortunate to be able to do my part to help children in need.

One of the other reasons I like this time of year? The holidays tend to "Tame" everyone a bit more (for the most part). Yeah, you'll still have that occasional grumpy person in line at the mall or the grocery store that will just complain about everything; but just ignore them and they will soon go away. For the most part, at least the people I have been dealing with are in good spirits, putting aside if only for a short while, all of our economic situations.

It's nice though when one can find love, compassion, unselfishness and other good will during this month. I look forward to it every year, and not because of the "presents".

We are completing the last of our Holiday Family Portraits this week and I just wanted to send a quick post and some images for you all to enjoy. Thank you to all of you who contributed to Family Portrait Month and Operation Smile this year. It is very well appreciated!

Happy Holidays! Be safe and be well.

Holiday Photo Cards

SEND CHEERS FROM YOUR HOT TUB THIS YEAR!!!

This year why not send FUN holiday cards to your friends and relatives.

We could all use a good laugh during these trying times.

Call us today to book your holiday family portraits and get the family together for some fun images that you can share with your friends.

I always enjoy getting holiday cards from my friends and family, but most of them are always that standard (formal) photograph.

This year, lighten-up a bit and send out some fun photographs your friends and family will be talking about all year long. We can help you think of ideas and images that will be fun, funny and creative.

Like the Orrell family, pictured here...Now they know how to have FUN!

These were some of my favorite picks (and theirs too) from their holiday portrait session. (click on the photos to enlarge)

Incase any of you are wondering...YES, they did actually get into the Hot Tub! This is not photography magic. It's all part of the fun and the memories that make these images so great.

There are only a few more appointment slots left for holiday portraits, in time to get out those holiday cards, so call now and book your session with us.

We can usually have your holiday cards ready within 7 days.

Enjoy your Holidays and don't forget to have FUN!!!

2yr. Portrait Outtakes - WHEW!

Takes & Outakes of a recent 2yr. portrait session.

October is Family Portrait Month

Only a few days left to take advantage of our special this month. Call now to book your session before it's over. Available sessions are very limited now. Don't wait! Call today!

October is national Family Portrait Month and we are offering reduced portrait session fees and percent-off our portrait packages. Don’t Miss Our Special “Family Portrait Month” Promotion! Every October we participate with an elite group of photographers around the country in a very special family portrait promotion.
Throughout October 2008 we will celebrate “Family Portrait Month,” a wonderful opportunity for you update your family portrait (or portraits of your children), and at the same time help to support Operation Smile, which treats children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
Along with other studio members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), we have pledged to contribute up to 50% of our Portrait Session Fees to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner.
What’s more, we want you to benefit from this special offer: Receive 10% off any portrait package of your choice.
Recording the faces of children and their families is our greatest pleasure. That’s why we believe so strongly in the work of Operation Smile.
Each year this incredible organization of more than 5,000 volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and specialized health-care professionals, perform free reconstructive surgeries for children suffering with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
It costs only $240 to perform a life-changing cleft lip operation. More than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity each year in Operation Smile’s 25 partner countries. We also believe that Family Portrait Month is a wonderful way to teach children the value of reaching out to others. Even small children can understand the importance of Operation Smile’s work, and they are eager to help these needy children.
We hope you will join with us in helping to make this vital work possible. Don’t forget that the holiday season is right around the corner, so there’s no better time for a family portrait, which is always appreciated as gifts for family and friends and to send along with holiday greeting cards.
With Warm Wishes, Ed Diaz
See you soon!
