Some of my favorite weddings are the ones where the wedding party is comprised mainly of childhood and college friends. Those kind of friends just create a different vibe — the absolute silliness and ridiculousness that usually comes after 9PM on the dance floor is just flowing all day long. This was the case for Maddie and Tony’s fall wedding in Portsmouth, NH, which was full of historic charm, downtown energy, and surprises all around….
Read MoreMary & Sam // Maine Engagement
Mary and Sam are a unique couple in many ways. Let me tell you what I mean.
First and foremost, Mary is my oldest best friend and that made this engagement shoot special from the very start. Secondly, Mary and Sam are bold. They were dedicated to our sunrise timing for the photoshoot even though that meant meeting at 6AM on a Sunday. And, they were even willing to traipse out into the muddy, squishy…
Read MoreAmy & Kris // Vermont Wedding
Relaxed. Fun. Friends. Family. These are the words Amy and Kris used in their first communications with me to describe their wedding day plans. Just from these initial details, I could tell they had their priorities straight. The more I got to know them, the more I learned just how true that really is. Amy and Kris have a lot in common, as they both work in healthcare and love to spend their free time…
Read MoreRena & Harunobu // Boston Elopement
It’s not that often that I get to say I had a meet cute with one of my couples. I was photographing wedding portraits along the Charles River when I bumped into Rena and Harunobu who inquired about a portrait session. I gave them my card, and that was that - we got in touch and made a plan to capture some portraits around Boston celebrating their recent marriage at…
Read MoreSuzie & Jesse // Vermont Wedding
When Suzie and Jesse met online in 2020, not even COVID could stall their love story. Though they were both local to the Boston area, they were “long distance” for a period of time until they could comfortably start seeing each other in person. Such early challenges would probably fizzle out many romances, but the way these two clicked was proof that they were supposed to be together, through it all. For their wedding day, the couple planned…
Read MoreFritha & Kevin // Boston Maternity Portraits
Fritha and Kevin have been building their life together for quite some time now. Originally college sweethearts (who actually met while studying abroad before realizing they were attending the same college!), they settled in Boston after graduation and have been making it their home ever since. It was during the pandemic that they, like many others, added to their household by getting a puppy. Gatsby is equal parts handsome gentleman and goofy furbaby. While he knows something is changing with Fritha, it’s not clear if he realizes just how much…
Read MoreLauren // Maine Senior Portraits
For Lauren’s senior portraits, we met at Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth, Maine for a summer sunrise. It was a quiet Sunday and the beaches were empty as I greeted her and her sweet mom, Lynn. The only people who started to arrive soon after us were men loading boats into the water to take to the seas. The sky was a gorgeous…
Read MoreElizabeth & Christian // Maine Island Wedding
Is there anything more lovely than a Maine island wedding? I might be a little biased here because I myself got married on a Maine island, but…it is just too dreamy! Liz and Christian decided to take this route and tie the knot on Long Island, ME, both because it’s breathtaking but also because it’s a place that is very personal to them…
Read MoreAbby // Easton, MA Headshots
A triple threat on stage, Abby has her sights set on a life spent in the theater. It’s safe to say she’s off to an excellent start in pursuing this dream. Not only is she a powerhouse singer, but she can act and dance, too. Her talents and efforts frequently win her the lead roles in productions both in her school’s drama program and also community theaters. She learns her lines with studious aplomb and has regularly mentored younger students on their own paths to the spotlight. Now that she is readying herself for higher education and gathering her portfolio together, it was time for a key component: headshots…

From higher education to athletic pursuits, Sarah and Tom are an impressive couple. Sarah is herself a professor of nutrition, Tom has founded his own company, and both of them have run marathons…
Read MoreElise & Gavin // Boston Engagement
For Gavin and Elise, Boston wasn’t always home. Originally from Pennsylvania and Delaware respectively, these two college sweethearts had barely been in Boston a year when Gavin popped the question. And already by that time, they had already made themselves quite the locals. They cozied up in their new apartment with…

Read MoreMichael & Leah // Farm Wedding in Winchester, MA
Mike and Leah’s wedding day was perhaps the most tender celebration I’ve ever photographed. There were so many thoughtful details from start to finish, and I think it all represented how caring of a couple they truly are and how much they center their lives around…
Read MoreFallon & Liam // Maine Island Wedding
Liam and Fallon were married on the perfect Maine day in August - meaning, there was every bit of weather you could sample for the season, and it was all exactly right. Weddings are naturally magical days, and I think that magic is further even amplified when the couple is able to tie the knot in place that holds special meaning for them or their family. Well, Fallon and Liam had it all at Peaks Island…
Read MoreKyra & Gordon // Portland, Maine Wedding
After a week full of rain, it was finally a perfect June day in Maine - sunny skies with a cool ocean breeze. Gordon and Kyra couldn’t have picked a better day for their wedding in Portland, Maine. I actually met Kyra and Gordon when we were all living in Roanoke, VA, and then we each made our way up to New England. They share passions for weightlifting, outdoorsy adventures, and cats, just to name a few. They know how to work hard for their dreams, but also how to relax and enjoy life. I was so honored to capture their wedding, especially since…
Read MorePhoebe & Sam // Vermont Wedding
Phoebe and Sam each got ready at Naulakha, a Landmark Trust Property where Rudyard Kipling (yes, the author of The Jungle Book!) use to live. They commandeered separate floors in the house on a cloudy Vermont day in early summer. The rhododendrons around the property were bursting with soft pink blooms and the old wooden floors of the house creaked…
Read MoreLydia & Roger // Maine Wedding
Lydia and Roger were married on a hot (and I mean HOT! ) July day in New Gloucester, Maine. It was a day full of energy, tradition, and most of all - love. Together these two lively individuals blended their families and it led to some very touching moments and an absolutely raucous dance floor…
Read MoreSarah // Boston Headshots
This spring, Sarah sought me out to take some updated headshots for her professional life as a clinical psychologist. I was so excited! Sarah has an incredibly buoyant presence and I was looking forward to capturing her energy with my camera. We met at the Harvard Arnold Arboretum around sunset in…
Read MoreJosh and Heather // Fincastle, VA Wedding
After numerous Covid-19 postponements, Josh and Heather finally got to celebrate their big day at the historic Kyle House in Fincastle, VA. There was an air of “finally!” after all of the logistical hoops they had to jump through to make the wedding a reality at last. I had photographed their engagement photoshoot back in 2019, so it was extra special to see them again after all of that time to celebrate…
