Cozy Winter Newborn Session At Home

Last fall I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful family when we connected to photograph their updated family portraits. Just a few short months later, Lindsay reached back out to share that they were expecting a baby and would love to capture all the joy of welcoming their daughter into world. Of course I was thrilled to have this amazing family in front of my camera once again to document every snuggly moment with their newest arrival. Enjoy some of my faves from their cozy winter newborn session at home.

Neutral Inspired Newborn Session

I had the privilege of meeting this beautiful family this past spring as they welcomed their newest arrival. This being their third baby, Mom and Dad wanted images that celebrated the growth of their family while also showcasing their beautiful baby girl. Of course this meant lots of snuggles and embracing a soft pink color palette. It was a joy to help capture this moment and all the beauty of welcoming a new little one into the world!

Matt & Lizzie : Spring Wedding In Boston

Matt & Lizzie’s wedding day was a long time coming. Originally planned for a 2020 celebration, the couple postponed their wedding when Covid hit like many were forced to do last year. Earlier this spring, on an unseasonably warm early April Saturday, Matt and Lizzie finally celebrated together with their loved ones - and it was everything they had hoped for and more.

Crane Beach Family Session

Caroline & and her little girl braved a blustery day earlier this spring for a sweet and simple Motherhood Session at Crane Beach in Ipswich, Massachusetts. I was honored to capture Caroline and her curly haired cutie and the very special bond they share together.

The Newburyport Studio Newborn Session

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.

Fall Wedding in Boston Wedding Photos

With a wedding originally planned for early spring, a late fall celebration wasn’t exactly what Sarah & Andrew had in mind when they first started planning. But as spring 2020 came to fruition it was clear that Covid would not allow them to get married as they originally had planned.

Newburyport Engagement Photos

Am I allowed to have favorites? Shh, I’ll tell you a secret : Mateusz and Brittany’s engagement session was one of my top fave sessions of 2020! I absolutely loved hanging out with this amazing couple in downtown Newburyport and enjoying beautiful sun kissed evening together.

Danvers Rail Trail Engagement Photos

How sweet are Mary Beth & James? I was so thrilled to share one of my fave hidden gems up here on the North Shore with this midwestern couple who now calls New England home. Surrounded by peaceful nature, the swamp walk on the Danvers Rail Trail is a tranquil spot that puts you right in the middle of nature.

North End Engagement Photos

Is anything more quintessential to the North End than a sip of espresso and a delicious cannoli? So of course when Diana & Sean opted for the North End as the location of their engagement session it just HAD to include a little of both - and for Diana who is professor of Italian, you couldn’t pick a more perfect location than Caffe Victoria in the North End!

Misselwood Estate Wedding Photos

What would 2020 be without postponed wedding plans? Well that was sure true for Arielle & Jon who had to push their celebration to the fall of 2021. But despite the craziness of last year they were determined to get married and so in a very small celebration at Misselwood Estate in Beverly, Massachusetts they tied the knot.

Marblehead Neck Engagement Session

On a beautiful summer morning just after sunrise I met Katie & Matt in a very special place near Katie’s family home in Marblehead, Goldthwait Reservation.. With the light sparkling over the water and the sound of the waves gently rolling over the sea worn rocks, it was truly an idyllic setting for this New England coast loving couple!

Clipper Ship Wharf Engagement Photos

Living in the ever changing neighborhood of East Boston, Hannah & Rob selected Peirs Park and Clipper Ship Wharf for the location of their engagement session. With sweeping views of the city skyline and Boston Harbor it’s a hidden gem of a spot that’s being redeveloped for amazing access to the water and whole new residential vibe.

Phillips Beach Sunrise Engagement Photos

Phillips Beach is a perfect hidden gem here on the North Shore. With its dramatic rocky shore and impressive waves, Phillips Beach takes on different personalities as the weather and tide change. It’s part of what Arielle & Jon love about this secluded beach.

Boston Public Garden Engagement Photos

On an early summer morning, just after sunrise, I met Michelle & Wes at the Boston Public Garden for their engagement session. Greeted with a nearly empty park, we casually meandered the beautiful and historic grounds and soaked in a nearly perfect summer morning.

Singing Beach Engagement Session

Jenn & Colby will marry at Singing Beach Club later this year so choosing Singing Beach for their engagement session seemed like the perfect choice. Greeted with cotton candy skies and a nearly empty beach, New England truly showed off on this summer evening.

Gloucester Backyard Micro Wedding

In the quaint and seaside village of Magnolia, a small backyard was transformed into the perfect wedding location. While it may not have been what Sara & Jon had originally envisioned for their wedding day, their families came together to ensure that this special couple was celebrated and loved amidst a global pandemic.

Flower Farm Family Session

I first met Samantha and her beautiful red headed family when they invited me to their home to help celebrate the arrival of their baby girl. Of course I immediately fell in love with their adorable girls (I might just be a little biased towards their girls’ beautiful red locks!) so when Same reached out to capture updated family portraits I jumped at the chance.

Fall in New England Family Session

One of the creative challenges of working during a pandemic is figuring out how to host clients in a safe, comfortable environment. That meant thinking outside the box and often working with clients outdoors, near to their home. 2020 brought me to many different locations but one of my favorites has to be this beautiful, quiet piece of conservation land.

Misselwood Estate Mirco Wedding

Ah, the micro-wedding. An industry trend I never saw coming until 2020! What started off as a “trend” turned into something truly magical and meaningful throughout the year, filled with raw emotion and gratitude for the chance to say “I Do.” I saw this first hand for Christie & Crittie’s intimate celebration at Misselwood Estate last September.

Cape Cod Family Session

I first connected with Andy & Liz when they hired me to photograph their wedding at her family home on Cape Cod in 2018. We first met for their epic engagement session at Falmouth Light that include the most dramatic fog and wind, complimenting the epic cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
