You have to love those bright sunshine-filled days in the late fall, where the air is crisp, the sky is saturated in blue, and the leaves are bursting with color. I met little H and his mom at their home in Cambridge last weekend, only a few days before his first birthday, and we totally lucked out with a day just like this. We decided to take full advantage of the gorgeous weather, and headed out to the park near their house to play on the swings and slide. H is such a happy little boy, he loved watching all… Keep reading

City Living | East Boston Baby Photographer
Little M here is just about 3 months old, and was such a sweetheart to photograph! He is so laid back and easy-going–quite the opposite of what I’m used to in our house. I’ve known M’s dad since high school (maybe even earlier??), and it was great to see him again! He and his wife own an AMAZING pizza/pasta/panini restaurant in East Boston called Dough. You HAVE to go check it out if you’re in the area. They made me a stromboli to bring home, and omg, it was so, SO good. If we lived closer, I’d probably be in… Keep reading
Apples, Leaves, and Love | Pittsfield Family Photographer
My family and I took a trip back to where I grew up over Columbus Day weekend. It is beautiful out there any time of year (well, except maybe from January-March…), and we were coming up on the end of peak foliage season, so I wanted to go out for a few days to relax and enjoy it. We visited the ‘rents, and I was lucky enough to meet up with my longest-known friend (almost wrote “oldest”, but realized how that sounded!), and her amazing family, to get some updated family photos. Mom and I have known each other since… Keep reading
C: Finding Her Balance | Melrose Children’s Photographer
I met up with the W family last weekend to take some photos of their little girl, C. They were gracious enough to reschedule our original session, since Mother Nature has had it in for me this fall, and keeps sending pouring rain for my sessions. Thankfully, our rescheduled day was a gorgeous, beautiful, bright fall day in New England. Take that, Mother Nature! C just turned one recently, and literally had taken her first steps a couple of days before our shoot! By the time I showed up, she was running around like a pro, you’d never guess she… Keep reading
Improvising | MA Children’s Photographer
I met up with this adorable family at their home in New Hampshire a couple of weekends ago, for a shoot with 15 month old twins, and their almost-2-year-old cousin. We had big plans for some outside shots of them running around, playing, and enjoying the late summer weather. Well, wouldn’t you know it, Mother Nature had other plans for us. Saturday arrived with 60 degree weather, torrential rains, and gusty winds. We decided to make the most of it, and just bring the shoot indoors instead! The family was ever so gracious to me, traipsing around their beautiful home,… Keep reading

I posted this sneak peek on my Facebook Business Page, but then realized mom doesn’ t have Facebook. So I’m posting it here also! More to come very soon. 🙂
Fun at the Park | Amherst Children’s Photographer
I caught up with one of my college roommates last weekend in Amherst, for a fun playdate at the park. It’s always fun going “back to college”, we had some great times there! It’s so beautiful out there this time of year. Four year old E has SO much energy, she bounced and ran all over the playground. And little J just turned one earlier this month! He is growing up so fast, I can’t believe it’s already been a year. I just HAD to include this last one, she is her mother’s daughter, 10000%! A, could she look any… Keep reading
The Last Days of Summer | Ashland Childrens’ Photographer
I met up with these adorable girls last week, to go for a fun nature walk in the woods around here. The little girl on the right is the cousin of the other two, visiting from California. They had so much fun running around the trails, climbing giant rocks, and exploring in these woods. The mosquitoes were out in full force though, so we didn’t stay too long–gotta love late summer in New England! I think this next shot is my favorite–I love how real it is. I almost didn’t edit this, and I’m so glad I did! It was… Keep reading
Busy Bee |MA Childrens’ Photographer|
Wow, where did the summer go?? It’s September already?? I can’t even believe it. I’m sure you’re all wondering where I ran off to these past couple of weeks. It has been a whirlwind! Lots of traveling to see family, friends, and lots of shooting–my fave. Here is a little glimpse at all of the fun I’ve been having! This first little one may look familiar to those of you who are fans of MJP on Facebook. Met up with these adorable boys in VA while visiting the in-laws. Their mom is a good friend of mine, and an amazing… Keep reading
That Golden Light
I recently took a trip up to Beverly for a session with this wonderful family. It was a combo family/kids/maternity session, and so much fun! Our session was during what us photographers like to refer to as “the magic hour”–as in, the hour or two just before sunset, when everything is covered in this honey colored evening light. I LOVE shooting during this time, and highly recommend it for all of my clients! The soft, diffused light at this time of day is something I like to take full advantage of–we have even less of it up here in New… Keep reading
