Portraits of MetroWest

The BostonVoyager is all about supporting creatives and risk takers – from makeup artists, fashion designers and music producers to chefs, entrepreneurs and more. In our Portraits series we try to celebrate their work by sharing some of our favorite shots we’ve come across. We’ve share shots from MetroWest and the surrounding areas below.

Happy Friday, all! Excited that the weekend is upon us again. Last night we saw Black Panther and it was extremely good. If you get a chance to see it this weekend, I highly recommend doing it. We’re hoping to see it another time in between hosting the grandparents for the first time at our house and possibly going to an art museum. 🐾 What are your weekend plans? 🌟 🌟 🌟 #risingtidesociety #theknot #wedne #mawedding #maweddingphotographer #ctweddings #ctweddingphotographers #loveislove #blackpanther #engaged2018 #theconnecticutbride #newengland #newenglandwedding #newenglandweddingphotographer #massachusettsbride #bride #groom #bridesmaids #bridesmaidsdresses #engagementphotos #engagementrings #winterengagement #2018wedding #2019wedding #2018weddingtrends #engagedboston #bostonbrides

Fitness coach Dave Bonollo

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said “Men age like wine. Women age like milk”. While I understand the humor the single guy who owned the van the sticker was on was aiming for, if you take the male chauvinistic tone out, it’s actually sage advice. Age like wine, not milk. While I could easily turn this into a gotta eat healthy and exercise so the future you feels better but instead I’ma focus on something you can fix or help now. As we get older we log more and more miles on our bodies sitting. Work. The car. Getting lost down a porn rabbit hole. It all adds up. Too much sitting can lead to tight hips which results in a forward lean when you stand or lower back pain. So try this stretch to help loosen up the old hips. Hold each side for 20-30 seconds and try to work your way up to 60. This is one of my go-to’s I do 2-3 times a week. Doing this stretch a few times a week will help you age more like a fine wine. • • • #aesthetic_physiques #fitness #mensfitness #itsallinthehips #deskjockeys #backpain #flexible #workoutwednesday

Freddy Roman | Maker & Restorer

In process chair re-glue and repair. It’s amazing how many people take photos in clean spaces and backgrounds. That’s not me! This isn’t a kitchen or house. I don’t have time for it unless someone is paying me. Few respect this craft of Furniture repair or Furniture making. It will never compare to home addition or even a kitchen and bathroom remodel.That said the furniture patrons own are used almost daily. Makes you wonder…

Hollander Woodworks | Custom designed furniture & woodworks

@merepurpose and I are home alone today @jarmakwood . This means @russiancircband and Red Sparrows on the jukebox with no one to tell us to turn it down. I got around to glueing up both halves of this spruce decking table top and gave it a twice over with some 120 grit. Still need to work on cleaning out the glue on my joints but progress is progress. I also managed to plane up, cut up, and glue up the maple I’m using for the table legs. I’m hoping the glue has enough time to cure before temperatures drop lower. Overall a good Friday all around. 👍🏼 #tgif #fridayvibes #russiancircles #redsparrows #reclaimedspruce #reclaimedlumber #reclaimedsprucetable #sprucetable #customtables #diningroomtable #rustictables #rusticdecor #reuse #repurpose #woodworking #woodworker #furnituremaker #furnituredesign #reclaimedlumberyard #reclaimedsprucedecking #tongueandgroove #furnituremakerlife #rusticspruce #rusticfurniture #reclaimedwoodfurniture #jarmakcorp #sprucetabletop #reclaimedwood #gratitude

Librarian, paper crafter & soap maker Kimberly Toney

Yesterday I wrote a blog post about all the soap I've been making and the direction I'm headed in. As part of that shift, I've also decided I'll be sharing my soap making journey on the @freshwaterstudio Instagram feed instead of here on my personal page. That means cards and everyday life stuff here, soap (and cards, too, but mostly soap) over there. So, please give @freshwaterstudio a follow if you'd like to see what I'm up to over there. And, check out the blog post if you'd like to know more! Thanks!! 💙 #linkinbio #freshwaterstudioshop #naturalsoap
