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 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.

Suddenly, the mission felt even more important.

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…

I had been missing New England so much, especially the White Mountains. I missed the sweet scent of evergreens tall and dense, lining the pulpy earth with their needles. I missed the special quiet that comes with breaking treeline and entering the alpine zone. I missed trails that will simultaneously break your heart with…
Read MorePortland Engagement Session
I couldn't wait to meet with James and Sabina at Portland's Eastern Promenade for their engagement photo session. To say I was excited is an understatement! It may have had something to do with the fact that…
