You may recognize The Newburyport Studio from our beautiful Motherhood Sessions last year. When past client and friend Alyssa reached out to me for a newborn session I knew that the Newburyport Studio would be the perfect fit.
Read MoreI have known this sweet family since over 7 years now and have been honored to photograph each new stage of their lives together. From their Fort Point engagement session to their Boston wedding, from expecting their first child, to the birth of their son, they have invited me again and again to document the important milestones of their life.
Read MoreLiz and Andy have this joke, that if it’s raining it might be time for a session with Deb! It all started with their engagement session at Falmouth Light, the first time we met. It was one of the windiest days and the skies threatened the whole session to open up. Luckily for us it waited until after we were done shooting.
Read MoreEarlier this spring I had the joy of capturing Kristen in her first few weeks of Motherhood as part of the Motherhood Sessions hosted at The Tannery Loft by Kadeema Rentals. It was such an honor to help Kristen celebrate this new season of her life and the relationship she shares with her little Charlie. Kristen wore a beautiful BHDLN gown that perfectly complimented the quiet and simple nature of her session. I’m so thankful Kristen trusted my vision in capturing Motherhood and for the opportunity to celebrate her new role as Mom.
Read MoreWelcome to 2018!! One of my favorite ways to start the new year is to reflect on the year past and gather together my favorite images from the last 12 months. I'm reminded again of how much I love this "job", being invited into my clients' lives and documenting the precious milestones of life. (You can view the Best of 2016 here.) Pulling together my favorite images of the year is no easy task -- how can I choose? Each image feels so dear to me. I remember exactly where I was and what was happening in that moment. Joyful, quiet, intimate, happy, reflective, emotive, connected moments. Every time I clicked the shutter I have the opportunity to capture these moments in time for my clients. It feels so dear indeed.
To kick of the Best of Series I'm sharing some of my favorite portrait images of 2017!! I was happy this year to include film into nearly all my portrait sessions which was a creative add for me. My clients seemed to love that and I thoroughly enjoyed stretching my skill in film. I've got a long way to go, but I'm proud of how it tied together, nearly seamlessly, with my digital work!!
So let's get to the images shall we?! I was pleased to be invited back into the lives of my dear past wedding clients as they expanded their families this year... how lovely to see these lovely families growing!! Here's to 2017 and celebrating the big and small moments of life!!
Read MoreToday is a classic New England snow day!! With the snow coming in we're hunkered down with cookies baked, the fireplace roaring and hot cocoa ready to go. It's also the perfect day to share Pat & Liz's cozy and cuddly family session from earlier this January. You may remember these two from their beautiful summer wedding at Curtis farm almost five years ago!! It hard to believe that!! I still remember their incredible day and I feel so lucky to have been invited to photograph the next phase of their lives together!!
If you haven't guessed, New England is cold during the winter months so when it came time for locations for a newborn session, home seemed like the best choice. Liz and Pat's home is beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout, especially the nursery. It was the perfect backdrop!! We spent a lovely morning together, reminiscing and admiring their sweet, adorable baby boy.
Pat and Liz are the perfect clients -- they trusted me with whatever suggestions I had to make this session meaningful. I was able to stretch my creative muscles shooting part of the session on film. That combination of freedom of creativity and a trusting relationship with my clients sets my artistic soul ablaze. Thank you Pat & Liz, enjoy some of my favorite images!!

Read MoreOn a COLD wintry evening, the brave Kristen & Kyle agreed to trudge through freshly fallen snow -- Kristen wanted a winter wonderland type feel and I knew just the spot!! Located on Boston's North Shore but what felt like the middle of no where, my not so secret location was perfect. With hardly anyone in sight the snow was magical, the light was beautiful. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to celebrate our dear friends and the new life they are eagerly awaiting to meet. Though it was frigid, Kyle & Kristen were troopers and we were able to create some beautiful images to share with their little one someday!!
