I took pictures of Big Brother S way back when he was 9 weeks old, and so when Little Brother J arrived on Valentine’s Day, it was only fitting that we get some shots of him at the same age as well. I gladly swooped in on this chance to hang out with this wonderful family again, and to create some new memories with them. J was slightly less than impressed with me, and with my camera. Always with the suspicious look on his face, I’m convinced he was just making sure he didn’t have to share his toys with… Keep reading

9 More Months | West Roxbury Children’s Photographer
Inevitably, we photographers will run into “the difficult session”. The child who wants nothing to do with us, the outdoor family session scheduled during torrential rains, the newborn who only wants to exercise their new lungs instead of sleep. We never let on during these sessions, and just smile and do what we do — because that’s our job. We figure it out, and we push for every shot. And then you have a session, like this one. Where everything just falls into place, and you wonder why you ever did anything different for work. You walk away encouraged, inspired,… 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
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
