Siti & Shrey // Arnold Arboretum Couple's Session

Siti and Shrey met through mutual friends, with a shared love of Taylor Swift helping spark the connection. Long distance has been part of their relationship from the very beginning — Shrey was in college in Texas, while Siti was in the Midwest. At the time of this shoot, they were doing another version of it: Shrey recently moved to Boston for work, while Siti finished up her degree in the Midwest.

So when they were in Boston together celebrating their anniversary, they wanted to take the opportunity to document this chapter of their relationship with a photoshoot…

Welcome, Fia // Boston Newborn Session

After capturing Fritha and Kevin’s maternity session, I was eager to meet little Fia at this newborn session! Just as her parents are easy to be around, so, too, was this little baby. Throughout our time together she barely let out a peep, just happy and content to be in her parents’ arms. Fia seemed perfectly comfortable in the arms of her mom and dad. We spent the first part of their newborn session right in their Boston apartment, documenting those quiet early moments as…

Maddie & Tony // Portsmouth Wedding

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….

Mary & 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…

Rena & 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…

Lauren // 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…

Abby // 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.

Now that she is readying herself for higher education and gathering her portfolio together, it was time for a key component: headshots…

Fallon & 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…

Wes and Alix // In-Home Session // Roanoke, VA

When Wes reached out to me about doing a family photo session with him, his wife Alix, and their three cats, I was thrilled. I personally love animals, and they always bring extra surprises and smiles to a photoshoot. Then Wes explained to me that a big reason why they wanted to capture memories with their fur babes is because their oldest cat, Millie, was nearing the end of her time and they wanted to remember these twilight days with her. Suddenly, the mission felt even more important.

Welcome Walter // Newborn Session

I had captured Grace’s maternity photos just a few months before, so it was somewhat surreal to return to her home for a newborn session. All of a sudden there was a new human being there to greet me, and the household orbit had shifted dramatically to include him. As Grace is a dear friend, it was so precious to document these early days in her and Keegan’s new life with little Walter.

Cuoco Family // Roanoke, VA

The holidays are here. This season arrived as it always does - suddenly, despite all of the anticipation. I’ve not yet had a child, but I imagine it’s somewhat similar. So much planning and waiting and decorating until, one day, it’s time. For Ashley and Josh, the holidays happened to coincide with the birth of their first little one, Max…

Yates Family // Salem, VA

The Yates family came to their fall family portrait session ready for the season with their adorable flannel ensembles. At Green Hill Park, we wandered the many trails and meadows with the beautiful fall foliage glowing in the setting sun. Ann, Dwayne, and Ella were total naturals in front of the camera. Little miss Ella, ever-inquisitive, kept us all smiling…

The Arbogasts // Newborn Photoshoot

Elijah was only a few weeks old when I had the privilege of visiting Scott and Erin’s home for a newborn family photoshoot. Amidst that chaos that surely comes with first-time parenting, they appeared totally capable and confident in themselves as a team. More than anything, their joy over Elijah’s arrival just poured out of them. Even their sweet pup wanted…

Kehoe Family // Peaks of Otter, VA

Most people don’t have professional family photos taken often enough, if at all. Chauncey and Nick aren’t most people, though. They get family photos done at least once, sometimes twice a year. Especially when your kids are young, this is so worth it! I had captured them all together (along with Chauncey’s parents) at Explore Park back in the spring, and now the Kehoes were ready for their fall photoshoot. Even though I had seen Lucille and Penelope just half a year before…

Ruby // Maine Senior Portraits

It was a perfect Maine summer morning when Ruby and I got together to create her senior portraits. The weather was that temperature where somehow any outfit will be comfortable, and the sky burned gold for a magnificent sunrise. Per Ruby’s request, we were oceanside nearly the entire time, from Portland’s Eastern Promenade to Cape Elizabeth’s…
