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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
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.
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…
