Mini Sessions, Round One!

in , ,

Dig, if you will, a picture; You’ve booked your time slot for your annual mini-session with me. You’ve gotten your kids into their best outfits and made it from your home to Maudslay State Park in Newburyport for your session without anyone asking if you’re there yet or saying they’re thirsty.

You drive along the road where you can view a vast field in the park. And in that field…art installations, along with many many people enjoying said art installations. Interesting.

Not sure where we’re going to take pictures then.

You pull into the parking lot, which is overflowing, navigate your way around the myriad of masked visitors, and just as you pull into your spot with time to spare for your session, you get a text from me, your photographer.

“When you arrive, come to the back of the lot to that big, white clabbered house. Those are the bathrooms! We’re going to take photos back here. See you soon!”

Um, I paid good money for this?

My clients are the best. After their initial Uh…what? wore off, they all went with the flow. I think the results were delightful, and we managed to avoid the crowds as well.




Kristin, Benjamin and Co

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!




We are FRamily!

When Lizzi got in touch with me to ask if she and her friends could hire me to do a fRamily (family made-up of friends) session, I was ALL IN! Five families, the parents all buddies from college, were bracing themselves to say goodbye to one of their families before they moved away.

The group hired me to do some big group shots, then we used the remaining time to get individual family shots, candids of the kids, some siblings pics, and any other group shots requested.

While I felt for them losing part of their group, it was such a great idea and I was so happy to be there to shoot some photos for this tight group of friends!
