Some wedding days are centered around spectacle. Others are centered around simply being together. Anna and Aaron’s celebration in Durham very much fell into the second category, and I think that’s what will make it stand out in my memory forever…
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 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 MoreBlake & Ivy // Boston Portrait Session
Blake and Ivy reached out to me for help creating a portrait session in honor of their life partnership. What we planned together turned out to be the sweetest day spent in some of Boston’s most photogenic spots…
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 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 MoreMorgan // Spring Senior Portraits
This senior portrait session took place on the kind of evening you dream about as a photographer: warm weather, flower-laden trees, and a burning orange sunset. Amid the gorgeous natural backdrop, Morgan was totally aglow. Her mother came along with us as we made use of every natural feature and point of interest available. On all of my shoots, I am all about achieving as much variety as possible and this setting did not disappoint…
Read MoreFallon & Liam // NYC Engagement
Fallon and Liam are college sweethearts who, after many years of being together, got engaged last summer. Liam planned a perfectly darling and private backyard proposal, pulling off the surprise in their little corner of the world outside New York City. They’re celebrating their wedding in Fallon’s home state of Maine, but since they’ve called NYC home for a long time now, it felt right to them to have their engagement shoot in the places that are part of their everyday life. So, I hopped on the train from Boston down to the Big Apple to capture this lovely couple in their element…
Read MoreWes 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.
Read MoreWelcome 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.
Read MoreCuoco 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…
Read MoreBrilliant Vanishing // Maine Autumn
Autumn is here. Well, not here, exactly. It was arriving, and here it is already leaving. Unlike its epilogue, winter, with fall there is no static moment where it settles in to stay. Rather, it is the story itself: changing, moving, rising and sighing. Yet for all of its dynamism, it is a quiet season. Amid the bursts of color and sudden shocks of frost are the hushed reminders to not only pause, but stop and…
Read MorePassing Storms & Sunrises
In 2015, I hiked over 800 on the Appalachian Trail. While that didn’t technically make me a thru-hiker, for those two and a half months I lived just like one. It helped that I spent my days with them - people who had started in Georgia and were making their way up to Maine. My section had begun in West Virginia, so I missed out on the entire southern half of the trail. When thru-hikers would reminisce about their early days on the trail, they would often wax lyrical about the famed Smokies…
Read MoreGrace // In-Home Maternity Session
I’ve never been pregnant myself, and I do know many people can feel in the third trimester like they are just done and ready to have their baby. They’re hot. They can’t sleep. Their back aches. They’re anxious to finally meet the little one. Fair enough! But to me, late pregnancy, seems like it can also be a magical time…
