I met up with this lovely family early one morning for their Brookline photo session at a popular spot named Larz Anderson Park. This is a well-known favorite location for many photographers, for obvious reasons. The light is amazing pretty much any time of day. There are loads of beautiful places to use, so many that each session can easily look different from the next. I love coming to Larz Anderson because I find a new hidden gem each time I come! We stayed in the lower gardens this time, which are perfect for letting little kids run freely without… Keep reading

Kerri | Ashland MA Maternity Photos
I think everyone here knows this wonderful face by now. She’s been featured on my blog many times, for engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and family photos. Just a few, right? This is my cousin Kerri. She doesn’t live as close to me as she once used to, sad to say. When she told me she was coming to Boston this summer and wanted to do some maternity photos, I leapt at the opportunity. The big deal with Kerri is that she is SO great at humoring me. She’s always up for any ideas I have and is a natural in front of… Keep reading
2014: Let’s Shake
Anyone else either obsessed with the new Taylor Swift album, or have a little one who is? My daughter has been walking around the house for a month now singing songs from 1989, and they are constantly stuck in my head. Don’t get me wrong, I love the record too…but mini-me loves it just a smidge (read: a whole lot) more. In the past, I have done a whole week of favorite images from my sessions during that year. Christmas sort of snuck up on me this year, we “missed out” on a whole weekend because Thanksgiving was pretty much… Keep reading
Four
You’ll very likely recognize this family – I’ve known them for years, and have been photographing their amazing family since their wedding reception back in 2010! When Rach emailed me to tell me their exciting news about adding another member to their family, I was thrilled I’d get to spend more time with them. We met up for maternity photos way back in June, and I love, love, love the matching floral crowns that Rach & her daughter wore for part of their session (thank you, Wild Folk Studio!). I had to include the last set – we were just… Keep reading
Sisters
This year was a wonderfully big year for some of my dearest friends – well, family. But friends. Loved ones? Whatever you want to call them, I love them. These beautiful ladies are my cousins, and we’ve stayed pretty close throughout the years, despite not living near each other, and all of us having insanely ridiculous work/family/school schedules. My cousins have had an eventful year, and I am BEYOND thrilled to be able to be their official (ok, unofficial) event photographer, and have spent more time than usual (YAY!) with them this year. One of those big events that happened earlier… Keep reading
Almost Five
For this post, anyway. The little one in mama’s belly has since arrived, so they are officially a family of five now! You will likely recognize some of my favorite people here, who are expecting a new addition to their family! And since they made us wait to find out what babe number three was, I’m making you. 😛 We did some maternity photos back in April at their home. The photos on their bed are some of my favorites ever – these little boys crack me up without fail every time I see them. I used to get hugs… Keep reading
Elle
This is sort of a double blog post – lots of photos. I’m combining this beautiful family’s maternity and newborn sessions here, because I didn’t realize I never blogged their maternity session! (I don’t think I did – hopefully I’m not repeating myself!) We met up last fall for a maternity session, I’m now dreaming while remembering the beautiful weather that day. We took a little walk on the land behind their home for their session. I love being able to do maternity sessions for my newborn clients, especially when they have older siblings – it gives us all a… Keep reading
Waiting
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I just love when my clients come back and see me again. It is always incredibly encouraging and wonderful when past clients get in touch. I photographed this gorgeous couple’s family about 2 years ago, and when mom-to-be C emailed me to tell me they were expecting, I was over the moon. I can’t wait to meet their little one. Because I’m not certain if people know the baby’s gender or name, I’m keeping it to myself until I post the newborn photos. 🙂 We met up at Larz Anderson… Keep reading
Babies!
There were quite a few little ones born in my family last fall & winter. Instead of bombarding you with separate posts for them all, I thought I’d just share a few of my favorites. My sister & her family welcomed a baby girl named Josie (her third girl, if you’re keeping track!) in October. My sister in law had a baby boy named Andrew in December, and my baby brother and his wife had their first baby, little Owen, in January. I did maternity and newborn photos for everyone – I love being able to do this for them. Hopefully I’m not… Keep reading
2012 Favorites: Newborns
…and a few maternity ones also. 🙂 I don’t photograph a lot of maternity portraits, but I love doing them. It’s such a special time for any family. I loved working with my newborn clients this year. As you can see, I’ve been moving towards a more natural, lifestyle feel to my newborn images. I love working with beautifully textured blankets and wraps, and using cozy, hand-knit hats and headbands sometimes. Many of the items I use are now things my clients provide – I love the personal touch it adds to my sessions. I’m also a big fan of… Keep reading
