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 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 MoreJosh and Heather // Fincastle, VA Wedding
After numerous Covid-19 postponements, Josh and Heather finally got to celebrate their big day at the historic Kyle House in Fincastle, VA. There was an air of “finally!” after all of the logistical hoops they had to jump through to make the wedding a reality at last. I had photographed their engagement photoshoot back in 2019, so it was extra special to see them again after all of that time to celebrate…
Read MoreMorgan // Spring Senior Portraits
This senior portrait session took place on the kind of evening you dream about as a photographer: warm weather, flower-laden trees, and a burning orange sunset. Amid the gorgeous natural backdrop, Morgan was totally aglow. Her mother came along with us as we made use of every natural feature and point of interest available. On all of my shoots, I am all about achieving as much variety as possible and this setting did not disappoint…
Read MoreFallon & Liam // NYC Engagement
Fallon and Liam are college sweethearts who, after many years of being together, got engaged last summer. Liam planned a perfectly darling and private backyard proposal, pulling off the surprise in their little corner of the world outside New York City. They’re celebrating their wedding in Fallon’s home state of Maine, but since they’ve called NYC home for a long time now, it felt right to them to have their engagement shoot in the places that are part of their everyday life. So, I hopped on the train from Boston down to the Big Apple to capture this lovely couple in their element…
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 MoreBrilliant Vanishing // Maine Autumn
Autumn is here. Well, not here, exactly. It was arriving, and here it is already leaving. Unlike its epilogue, winter, with fall there is no static moment where it settles in to stay. Rather, it is the story itself: changing, moving, rising and sighing. Yet for all of its dynamism, it is a quiet season. Amid the bursts of color and sudden shocks of frost are the hushed reminders to not only pause, but stop and…
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…
