A triple threat on stage, Abby has her sights set on a life spent in the theater. It’s safe to say she’s off to an excellent start in pursuing this dream. Not only is she a powerhouse singer, but she can act and dance, too. Her talents and efforts frequently win her the lead roles in productions both in her school’s drama program and also community theaters. She learns her lines with studious aplomb and has regularly mentored younger students on their own paths to the spotlight. Now that she is readying herself for higher education and gathering her portfolio together, it was time for a key component: headshots…

Read MoreElise & Gavin // Boston Engagement
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 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 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 MoreAn Ode to Incredible Coworkers
A lot of quitting stories that stick out in my mind tend to end in some sort of epically victorious walkout. You've probably heard the like: the ex-employee is relieved to be free of the company that has held them in chains for so long. Last month (June 2017) I quit my job as a Product Manager at Paytronix Systems, Inc, and relief is not how I would describe my feelings.
Read MoreAmericana at Atwood's
Let's set the scene for the evening.
Tucked away in a little corner of Cambridge, MA is Atwood's Tavern. Dim lighting, wooden decor, and empty bottles queued along the walls makes for an inviting yet equally mysterious venue. The contrast of warmth and intrigue creates an energy of anticipation. Ice cubes clink in glasses, chuckles sound across the bar, and patrons squeeze in among the tables to find standing room.
Enter the Kieran Ridge Band.
Read MoreFrom Miss to Mrs.
My best friend Kelly Thomas is a bride-to-be, and I feel so honored to be one of the bridesmaids standing up with her on the Big Day in late July. A couple of weeks ago, we (bridesmaids + MOH + Thomas family) threw Kelly a ladies-only, girly-as-can-be bridal shower to celebrate her upcoming marriage and help her get ready for the #wifelife. I sat down with Kelly this week to chat about all things bridal and marriage:
