For Gavin and Elise, Boston wasn’t always home. Originally from Pennsylvania and Delaware respectively, these two college sweethearts had barely been in Boston a year when Gavin popped the question. And already by that time, they had already made themselves quite the locals. They cozied up in their new apartment with…

Read MoreBlake & Ivy // Boston Portrait Session
Blake and Ivy reached out to me for help creating a portrait session in honor of their life partnership. What we planned together turned out to be the sweetest day spent in some of Boston’s most photogenic spots…
Read MoreFallon & Liam // Maine Island Wedding
Liam and Fallon were married on the perfect Maine day in August - meaning, there was every bit of weather you could sample for the season, and it was all exactly right. Weddings are naturally magical days, and I think that magic is further even amplified when the couple is able to tie the knot in place that holds special meaning for them or their family. Well, Fallon and Liam had it all at Peaks Island…
Read MoreSarah // Boston Headshots
This spring, Sarah sought me out to take some updated headshots for her professional life as a clinical psychologist. I was so excited! Sarah has an incredibly buoyant presence and I was looking forward to capturing her energy with my camera. We met at the Harvard Arnold Arboretum around sunset in…
Read MoreWes and Alix // In-Home Session // Roanoke, VA
When Wes reached out to me about doing a family photo session with him, his wife Alix, and their three cats, I was thrilled. I personally love animals, and they always bring extra surprises and smiles to a photoshoot. Then Wes explained to me that a big reason why they wanted to capture memories with their fur babes is because their oldest cat, Millie, was nearing the end of her time and they wanted to remember these twilight days with her. Suddenly, the mission felt even more important.
Read MoreWelcome Walter // Newborn Session
I had captured Grace’s maternity photos just a few months before, so it was somewhat surreal to return to her home for a newborn session. All of a sudden there was a new human being there to greet me, and the household orbit had shifted dramatically to include him. As Grace is a dear friend, it was so precious to document these early days in her and Keegan’s new life with little Walter.
Read MoreCuoco Family // Roanoke, VA
The holidays are here. This season arrived as it always does - suddenly, despite all of the anticipation. I’ve not yet had a child, but I imagine it’s somewhat similar. So much planning and waiting and decorating until, one day, it’s time. For Ashley and Josh, the holidays happened to coincide with the birth of their first little one, Max…
Read MoreYates Family // Salem, VA
The Yates family came to their fall family portrait session ready for the season with their adorable flannel ensembles. At Green Hill Park, we wandered the many trails and meadows with the beautiful fall foliage glowing in the setting sun. Ann, Dwayne, and Ella were total naturals in front of the camera. Little miss Ella, ever-inquisitive, kept us all smiling…
Read MoreThe Arbogasts // Newborn Photoshoot
Elijah was only a few weeks old when I had the privilege of visiting Scott and Erin’s home for a newborn family photoshoot. Amidst that chaos that surely comes with first-time parenting, they appeared totally capable and confident in themselves as a team. More than anything, their joy over Elijah’s arrival just poured out of them. Even their sweet pup wanted…
Read MoreKehoe Family // Peaks of Otter, VA
Most people don’t have professional family photos taken often enough, if at all. Chauncey and Nick aren’t most people, though. They get family photos done at least once, sometimes twice a year. Especially when your kids are young, this is so worth it! I had captured them all together (along with Chauncey’s parents) at Explore Park back in the spring, and now the Kehoes were ready for their fall photoshoot. Even though I had seen Lucille and Penelope just half a year before…
Read MoreRuby // Maine Senior Portraits
It was a perfect Maine summer morning when Ruby and I got together to create her senior portraits. The weather was that temperature where somehow any outfit will be comfortable, and the sky burned gold for a magnificent sunrise. Per Ruby’s request, we were oceanside nearly the entire time, from Portland’s Eastern Promenade to Cape Elizabeth’s…
Read MoreGrace // In-Home Maternity Session
I’ve never been pregnant myself, and I do know many people can feel in the third trimester like they are just done and ready to have their baby. They’re hot. They can’t sleep. Their back aches. They’re anxious to finally meet the little one. Fair enough! But to me, late pregnancy, seems like it can also be a magical time…
Read MoreJen // Headshots
After taking a step back from her impressive career in public relations, Jen is starting a career coaching business and needed some images to include on her website to help her put her best face forward. Last month, I met her at her home to capture some headshots. Using streamlined backdrops from…
