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…
Read MoreRoanoke Mountain Engagement Session
Andrea and Will are a wonderful balance of sweet and silly. During their engagement session, I floated in and out of their banter. One moment I would be laughing and joking along with them, and the next I'd be observing their love in quiet awe.
Read MoreNatalie's Radford Graduation Portraits
My favorite thing about photographing Natalie was how her gorgeous gray-green eyes switched color with practically each change of scenery. Some people's eyes just have that effect, and it is a treat for a photographer.

It's not a graduation portrait session without caps, gowns, and of course - confetti.

We didn't find quite everything we were looking for, but in the end it didn't matter. We did what we came to do.
Read MoreThis Beautiful Family Needs Your Help
Recently I had the special opportunity to photograph a wonderful family - but the session was not for the typical happy holiday card or cheery annual family portraits.
Read MoreThe Schwartz Family
The holidays are upon us, and many of us will send and/or receive Christmas cards this year. There's no better time to get your family together for a portrait session! Last month I met the Schwartz family at Smith Mountain Lake to take advantage of the lakeside views and...
Read MoreLamb Tails and Cheddar
As the parking lot gravel crunched under the weight of my tires, my eyes swept over the tidy landscape of Frith Farm. Nestled in a woodsy corner of Scarborough, ME, the farm sits on the the edge of the forest. I stepped out of the car and took in the view of greenhouses, rows upon rows of flowers and vegetables, a henhouse and pasture, and a barn filled with harvested goods ready for CSA members. As much as I longed in that moment to gather some fresh goods for dinner, I was not there to pick vegetables - I was there to pick the brain of an old friend....
Read MoreInfinite and Fresh
An evening ferry ride from Portland carried us across Casco Bay between lighthouses and fishing boats to Peaks Island. The sun was warm and the air was fresh. Immediately after stepping off the boat, we could feel the island vibe in the air, feel it drape over our shoulders in a way that made us feel lighter. Pickup trucks, cars with no license plates, and - can you believe it - ...
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 MoreLavender and Patchouli
We all have old friends from high school that we haven't spoken to in years. Many of these we will probably never see again, except for when we scroll past their latest post on our social media feed. A lot of the time, that's simply enough. That is normal and okay and how things should be. Recently, I started noticing Sabina on Instagram and became so impressed with her yoga prowess, her love of plants, her pretty vegan food. The photographer in me started to brainstorm a photoshoot. She's gorgeous, is totally talented at yoga, and has a website where she might want to use my photos...sounds like a win-win, right? Luckily, she agreed! (And was somehow not weirded out by my very random Instagram direct message.) We decided to...
Read MoreYoga Bends Your Body...and Your Mind
I injured my back while weightlifting in December, and four months later I'm still not totally healed. The sprain makes it uncomfortable to sit for longer than a few minutes, makes me nervous when I bend over to tie my shoes, and puts any exercise besides walking and yoga pretty much out of the question. Anyone who knows me can tell you...
