2023 Fall Minis!

in ,

The fall weather in the Boston area really did a number on my shoot scheule this season. I am so thankful to my wonderful clients, who patiently hung on through two, sometimes THREE rescheduling attempts. Thankfully, I was able to connect with everyone, which made me so happy!

As always, it was so fun to see my returning clients and meet some new lovely people too! Arlington Reservoir didn’t disappoint with its variety of scenes and backdrops. Want sand? You got it! Want leaves? It has those too!

The G Family

in , , , ,

The G family has expanded, so they gave me a call! I’m so glad they did. What a bright space and a bright family!


The W Fam!

in , ,

I’ve been photographing the Ws for a few years now and this year we decided to do something a bit different. It was cold when we scheduled their shoot (not much warmer now!), and we thought inside would be best.

I asked them to think about things they like to do together, or things the kids enjoying doing, and I came over and shot a variety of posed and posed-candids. I think it’s a fun collection!

Summer Wrap Up

in , ,

How did I manage to let the entire summer go by without sharing with you? I truly have no idea. Literally, I am sitting here wondering how I didn’t show off a few of the families I met with before autumn hit (has it hit yet?).

Well, better late than never?

Here’s a small collection from a few sessions I had over the summer…

Mini Sessions, Round Two!

in , ,

I usually only host one mini session event in the fall. I invite clients new and returning to pick a time slot on one specific date and meet me at a predetermined location for a quick twenty minute shoot. It’s a great way to get family photos and for me it helps me provide photography for multiple clients during the busiest time of the year for me.

After my annual mini session day took place, my sisterfriend Maureen got in touch with me and said that she and a few friends would love to have mini sessions too. Typically I would let my sisterfriendclient know that mini sessions are a one day thing, unless multiple families want them. But in this instance, Maureen simply brought me clients, which was so amazing! I was able to provide photos for her family, her friends’ family, and a third family who signed up after I promoted the event.

We shots these photos out in Sudbury. It was a blast, the weather cooperated, and we met for the best light - in the late afternoon!


Will and Avery!

in ,

This year, twins Will and Avery and their parents met me at Land’s Sake Farm for our session at Lauren’s (mom) suggestion and it was a great choice!

Located in Weston, the farm (you should click on the link above and check them out!) welcomes photo shoots (we left a donation). Their grounds are lovely and rustic, and it was fun to wander and shoot along the way.

Kristin, Benjamin and Co

in , ,

I think we can all agree that things are pretty rough right now. Political unrest, a pandemic making a mess of everything. At the time of this session in August, that was no different, and it was gross and hot too!

I felt some levity when I heard from Kristin who said her family was due for a session. I have photographing them since, well before they were a family! My first session with Benjamin and Kristin were for their engagement. Now they have two beautiful sons and I have had the honor to photograph them as they grow too.

Seeing them and capturing them together brought some light to my week!




Joseph and Gerard

in , ,

Joseph was visiting Boston with his husband Gerard when he contacted me through my Instagram page. The two were looking to have a family session along with their dog Donatella Versace. Donatella Versace?! Sign me up!

I was honored that they wanted to work with me, someone they found out of the blue via IG, and I thought it was a great thing - a photo shoot - to add to a vacation getaway.

They graciously made the trek up to Salem so we could avoid the Boston city crowds and have a session at Salem Willows.

In the midst of this sometimes isolating pandemic, a session with this lovely pair and their sweet pup was a welcome pick-me-up!

Photographing a Bobcat!

in , , ,

Last summer I was contacted by my alma mater Ohio University. They hired me to photograph a fellow Bobcat in my area who had been chosen to make a local TedTalk about her passion for running. Passion to run a half marathon in all 50 states before reaching age 50, to be exact.

Woah!

The first time I photographed Tiffany, I got up god-awful early for good light and we wandered her neighborhood in south Boston and found great spots to capture both her, and the beautiful place she run in.

A week of so later, I visited her at Salem State College and photographer her there too.

You can click here to read the story about Tiffany, an amazing woman, and here are some shots that didn’t run. One of my favorites is the one where I asked her to be all serious, standing in the sun, and she just couldn’t do it. What a smile!



Love and Music

in ,

John and Peter used to live in my parents’ neighborhood. I was always pleased to bump into them at weddings we were all working at, and at various community events. They moved to the countryside a little while ago, so I was happy to hear they’d won a bid on a photo shoot with me a while back at a local fundraiser before they moved. Now that I no longer shoot weddings and they have moved away, I do not see their friendly faces much at all anymore.

Since their auction win allowed them to use their session in any way they like, we created a smorgasbord photo session. II had a blast making a headshot for Peter who is a practitioner of Structural Integration, in addition to playing the violin, and a headshot for John who plays cello. The minute I saw their cool practice space, I knew I would need to shoot John a bit more extensively, and he obliged. And of course, we made use of the time to get awesome shots of the two of them together too!

Quite productive!
