I was so excited when Jaida’s mom reached out to me to capture sweet 16 portraits to celebrate her milestone birthday! Our adventure began at Harkness Memorial State Park, where we used the backdrop of it’s historic mansion and manicured gardens to capture portraits with an air of elegance and sophistication.

You may have heard that I am having a special boudoir event on Sunday, December 3rd, 2023. You’ve may have also heard that my Boudoir Sessions are really fun. Or, you have a friend who did one and felt nervous beforehand, but ended up having a total blast. But you're still not sure - you're kind of thinking about it... but you have questions.

When I had the opportunity to photograph Scott and Jesse, I had no idea the significance of the timing of their portrait session. While we were planning the details of their session, Scott revealed that they had never had professional portraits taken together, not even at their wedding. During their winter session at Bluff Point State Park in Groton, CT, I also learned they were celebrating 10 years of marriage that year.

Sara and David’s spring wedding at Lyman Orchards is coming up soon and I can’t wait for it. When they booked with me last spring, we chatted online, so I was so excited to meet them in person for their engagement session, and even more excited when they decided they wanted to do a lifestyle session in their new home.

Fast forward a few years later and I have had the honor of capturing the moments of their wedding, newborn photos of their first daughter, her 6-month sitter photos, and finally this family session to celebrate her turning one, right back where it all started - Harkness!

I’ve been photographing them for a few years now, as they booked Baby’s First Year Plans with me for their son and daughter. For Soleil’s first birthday last summer, we decided to use the last session that was included in her baby plan for a family session (that included lots of milestone shots of her) at Harkness Memorial State Park.

It is always an honor when an old friend reaches out to me to capture their special moments, and for that reason and so many more, getting to photograph Cherie’lin and Scott’s day was the perfect start to my fall wedding season last year!

Family portrait sessions are among my favorite to photograph, even when it’s winter and VERY cold outside! Kelly is a former student of mine, and when she took my class, her son James was just a baby. I always looked forward to seeing her “homework” photos each week because they were sure to include her little ones’ adorable face. I was so psyched when she booked a family portrait session with me to celebrate James’ birthday and to capture some memories together as a family before her husband, who is in the Navy, deployed.

Sheila and I went to Boston University together (we were both board members for one of the Latino student groups on campus), and I was so honored when she and Jiar asked me to be their wedding photographer. I was even MORE excited when they told me the wedding would be in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Justine and I talked a little about what kind of images she wanted from her session to define the vision we were going for. We wanted to create images that showed off all the facets of what makes Justine unique, from environmental portraits of her in her beautiful, light filled home, in front of her computer as she would be during an online coaching session, in the kitchen preparing an Ayurvedic meal, and finally at a nearby park, practicing yoga.

I met Chelsea last year when my niece started playing on the lacrosse team that she coached. I made a point to go to (and photograph!) any of the teams games that I was available for, and it became apparent that Adam, Chelsea’s then boyfriend, was as much of a fixture at those games as I was. Towards the end of the season, we got the awesome news the Chelsea and Adam were engaged, and I was so excited when they asked me to be their photographer!

Wright’s Mill Farm was the perfect place for their wedding, and the horse and carriage added a personal touch for them since they met in veterinary school at Purdue University. Their wedding day was filled with so many great moments with family and friends that I was able to capture.

If you’ve been following my photography over the years, then you know that I LOVE recreating iconic scenes from movies and pop culture with my nieces and nephews. I’ve done Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Black Panther so far. This time around, we went for a holiday classic - Home Alone. I recruited my nephews Oliver (5), Lucas (9) and Jackson (11) to play the parts of Kevin, Harry and Marv. We planned out the scenes we wanted to recreate, hunted down costume pieces (from the attic and from online), and found all the perfect spots to shoot at (including Fiddleheads Food Co-op - big thanks to them for letting us shoot there!) The final photos were finished up with a little photoshop and I think the results are hilarious! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

This 4th of July, Dan and Liz, who have been together for 5 years, were visiting with me and told me they made the decision to have a Commitment Ceremony in October. I was honored when they asked if I would consider being their photographer. I was so thrilled to see Dan and Liz, taking this step to live the lives they want — and deserve — so it was a no brainer to say yes to gift my services to them. I was so excited to be able to capture such a special moment in their lives. To make it even better, Melissa, who was previously a professional makeup artist, also offered to do Liz’s makeup on the big day.
