Greetings! My name is Lisa and welcome to ‘The Wildside Chronicles’. Photography is my passion, and my one true love, so I try to spend most of my weekends exploring with friends, family and other photographers all over Central Massachusetts and New England. So, pretty much, whenever I have free time I have a camera in my hands! Although my strength is portrait photography, I do try to take pictures of landscapes and nature on occasion. I prefer to shoot outside because I love natural light, but I do work with indoor and studio lighting, especially during our long New England winters. ‘The Wild Side Chronicles’ is a way for me to share my passion for photography and be able to share with you my adventures around New England. This first issue focuses on a Summer theme, so I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I enjoyed shooting them!! Thank you, Lisa

HOLLIS HILLS FARM-FITCHBURG, MA Hollis Hills Farm was started in 2009 by Jim and Allison Lattanzi. It started with a small flock of chickens, soon adding a few pigs bought at a pig scramble at the county fair and finally adding some beef cows. In March of 2014, Jim and Allison bought the farm of their dreams; the beautiful, historic, 100 acre Marshall Farm in Fitchburg. With this purchase the chance to share their passion for small scale diversified agriculture came to life. Jim and Allison invite you to come visit their working farm, pick some apples, take a hay ride, pick some pumpkins, or join for breakfast during maple sugaring season. Hollis Hills Farm is a place your whole family will love wanting to return to time and again. Featured Model: Skylar
