The past year has been one for the books! I’ve been a family and newborn photographer in Massachusetts for a decade now but 2021 was the first year I’ve been completely full time without a supplemental side job. Best decision I’ve ever made! I wouldn’t be where I am without such an amazing client base…
When planning your family portrait session, a big decision to make is WHERE will we do the photos?? Some people love to do their photos at home, and some want to do an outdoor session on location. Today I want to talk about outdoor locations because I put in a lot of time and effort…
So you’re having a baby. There is so much to plan and so much to think about. You’re excited and nervous and tearful and happy all at the same time. And one thing that absolutely needs to be on your to-do list is booking a newborn photographer! Get those early days documented because everything will…
Finding a family photographer can be a daunting task. There are many to choose from and it can be overwhelming to decide what style of photography you want for your family portraits. I consider my family portraiture style to be lifestyle photography. But what exactly does that mean? To me, lifestyle photography means capturing natural…
I remember ringing in 2020 almost exactly a year ago, and everyone was SO excited for it to be the best year ever! Fast forward to now, and it has been challenging, exhausting, strange, disruptive, anxiety-ridden, and luckily also full of silver linings. In the spring when everything shut down, I went three months without…
“Do you have any suggestions for what we should wear?” This is one of the most-asked questions I get from clients in the process of booking their family photography session. I get it– it’s not easy to coordinate outfits! I recently had my own family portraits taken, and it took so much time to figure…
A silver lining of this Covid-19 pandemic is that I’ve discovered my love for candid outdoor newborn sessions. Not only has this been a great alternative while I’ve been unable to offer in-studio sessions, but it’s also just a wonderful option in general! There’s more flexibility with baby’s age, we are able to be socially…
This past year was an exciting one for my personal life. My husband and I welcomed our second child into the world in July. My life is absolute chaos now between two kids and working from home, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I also somehow managed to take almost as many sessions…
As a new decade draws closer, I have been revisiting some images from these past ten years. I am still proud of my work from the beginning of my career (a few of these early photos are from before I even charged for sessions) and am also really proud of the amount of growth I’ve…
I photographed this Vermont family at one of their favorite spots on the Mad River. What’s a better plan for your family portraits than going on a wander at one of your favorite places? Nothing! I’d love to find some more adventure spots like this in Massachusetts too. The connection Kelly and Micah have with…
This session from last spring catches my eye over and over again, so I figured it was time to get it on the blog! Family photography is especially fun when the family lets loose and has fun too– those candid moments are so raw and tend to capture so much more than overly posed portraits….
I’m a summer girl through and through. I have spent a week on Cape Cod every summer of my entire life, and last year was lucky enough to photograph some return clients of mine that were vacationing there at the same time. We wandered around the dunes and beach in Chatham and had a blast!…
Spring is in the air and this weekend officially starts my outdoor family portrait season! This is one of my favorite times of year, as everything becomes green again and the sunsets are full of lovely soft light. This family session from last spring in Leominster was one of my favorites. They were so sweet…
This year I reached a little out of my comfort zone and entered some photos into the Shoot & Share photography contest. I entered 50 photos, which were up against almost 600,000 other images by many amazing photographers throughout 25 different categories. I hoped to have at least one make it to the top 10%…
