As the staff photographer for Metro West Living, I have the privilege of capturing the individuals featured on our covers each month

From entrepreneurs and artists to community leaders and changemakers, every photoshoot tells a story about the people shaping our local community.

It’s always a rewarding challenge to create images that not only reflect their personalities but also draw readers into their inspiring journeys. Each cover shoot reminds me why I love what I do—celebrating people and their stories through the power of photography.

The January issue highlights Knot & Purl located in Newton, MA and owned by Tracy Herman and her adorable dog Dobby.
