This little munchkin turns one this week, and I can’t even believe it. One! Already! I say the same about my own kids, so I don’t know why I’m surprised every time I turn around and they’re older. My buddy K here unfortunately lives many thousands of miles away from me, so I don’t get to see her or her parents nearly as much as I’d like. Not yet anyway. I’m still working on my master plan to move to the west coast without anyone around here noticing. I can commute back and forth, yes? I was lucky enough to… Keep reading

At the Park | MA Family Photography
I met up with this sweet family way too long ago to admit to, on an overcast (and super windy!) day for their family photos. The lush green backgrounds in their photos have me so excited for spring and the months ahead. I’m over all of the bare trees and brown grass, let’s go buds and leaves! They had recently added another little boy to their lovely family, and big brother was so attentive and sweet with him. We walked a shorter loop around one of my favorite locations, taking some time out for hide and seek and chase. It’s… Keep reading
Summer in the Park | Ashland MA Photographer
I have slowly over the years built up a short list of favorite locations to take my clients. I always love their homes most, but meeting at other outdoor locations like parks is also a lot of fun. The kids have a chance to run around, we don’t have to worry about traffic, and I can almost always find new favorite spots. I have a very short list of places near my house that I know better than my own backyard (granted, we’ve only lived here for 6 months, but still). I know where the light is best at any… Keep reading
Colette | MA Home Family Session
A home family session with my clients is one of my favorite things to photograph. I love seeing where my clients live, seeing what their design taste is like, and using their actual home to help create new memories for them. And when I’m heading to a client’s home who I *know* has fab design taste, it’s all the more exciting. I reunited with this favorite family of mine a year ago (gulp) to photograph their younger daughter’s 6 month photos. They probably look familiar to you if you’ve visited my blog before. I’ve photographed them many times over the years, and it’s always a… Keep reading
2015 Favorites | MA Photographer
Ahhh! Ok, so everyone pretend it’s January 1, 2016. I’ve been trying to get my favorites up for forever now! I will be blogging all of these sessions over the winter as well, and I can’t wait to share them all with you. Now that we are settling in to our new home, I’ll finally have more time for blogging (and still unpacking!). Last year was a whirlwind for me, and it’s been a treat to go back through all of your sessions to choose some favorites. I had such a fun year with you all (can I say y’all up… Keep reading
Summer
I know things have been quiet on the blog front – I’m getting back to it, promise! I was the genius who decided to completely move/update her website & blog while selling our current home and buying a new one…at the end of the school year. So some things had to take a little break while I got others under control. (Although don’t access my website on your phone/ipad yet, that part isn’t done at all.) Before my fall explodes with weddings and sessions and moving and school, I wanted to quickly blog some personal photos from the summer. I… Keep reading
Downtown
We snuck this session in last November, just in the nick of time before the holidays. After an “A for effort” attempt at photos on a freezing cold and windy Saturday, we met up again the following day on what was one of the last lovely mornings of 2014, with the most beautiful light. Little J was much happier on Sunday too, without the red nose and freezing little fingers. There is no predicting New England weather, and I’d rather have happy (and warm!) clients, so this was a simple decision for us. This sweet little family are repeat clients of mine,… Keep reading
At the Beach
This is one of my favorite sessions from last fall. Amazing weather, sunset light, and the beach? Always. Bonus that this was with an old friend who I hadn’t seen since high school, and had a great time meeting his family and catching up! I drove to the Cape for this session, and used my connections to secure a sweet location for them. (I really don’t have connections, just in this one case I did, ha.) The kids all loved playing on the beach and throwing rocks and shells in the water, and walking out on the jetty. What I… Keep reading
Teddy
Ok, “combining” three shorter sessions into one blog post. I’m allowed! Especially if they’re somewhat personal photos – not personal-sensitive, but I’m related to these people too. Dad is my brother, and the older boy is my godson. They were having their second baby last fall, and were waiting to find out the gender. And of course killing me in the process, because I’m a planner, and I’m just plain nosy. So when we got the news that big brother Owen now had a baby brother named Teddy, we were beyond thrilled! (Adorable name, right?) They asked me to shoot… Keep reading
At the Park
I’m going to be honest with you – I have no idea what to title my blog posts. So forgive my boring titles, and just keep scrolling to the photos! 🙂 I met this sweet family at a local park last fall for their family session, and I love their photos. I tend to shoot at one park fairly regularly, so even though I’m partial to sunset light, I can make any time of day work here. This was around 9am I want to say, and we found plenty of spots that worked for us. The kids loved throwing leaves… Keep reading
