Cozy North Shore Newborn Session

A cozy North Shore home newborn session was the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of baby Charlotte. Having arrived the previous fall, Mom & Dad wanted to wait and settle into life as a family of three before their session. How sweet it was to arrive to their home and see how strong a bond they had formed together since her arrival. Their connection was the foundation to the session, inspiring soft and intimate images that expressed the unique and beautiful meaning of family.

Editorial Maternity Session at the Ames Studio

Getting to spend time in a studio setting this year has filled my creative cup more than I thought possible. Working with clients who have a vision and appreciation for studio work is the cherry on top. I was thrilled to collaborate once again with Hannah, a long time client, to celebrate her pregnancy and her eager anticipation to welcome their baby girl into the world.

This studio maternity session re-ignited in me my love for studio photography. It has been quite some time since I had the opportunity work in a studio as most of my creative work is done on location. Having the creative freedom to experiment with a trusting client was a real treat for me as an artist. She trusted in my vision and as a result we were able to create some magic together.

I hope that this session is just the start of my studio magic to come - and I am grateful for my clients who take chances right alongside me.

I love them 🫶🏻🤍🤍🤍🤍, I had a lot of fun! It is so, so, special to have these and I can’t wait for photos of our baby girl and family of three!

At Home Newborn Session

What a joy it was to help celebrate the arrival of this sweet baby girl. Quiet, gentle, cherished are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of this session. Both Mom and Dad just delighted to welcome their daughter home and into their lives. It was evident just how loved Baby M is and I feel honored to have been asked to document this beautiful connection.

Crane Beach Family Session

I feel very fortunate (and so darn lucky) that I have the opportunity to follow couples on their life journey together. From engagement to wedding to growing a family, it’s a privilege I do not take for granted. For this special family, I have been able to document their journey from engaged couple to life as Mom & Dad.

On a beautiful summer evening we dug our toes into the sand as their little one explored the magic of Crane Beach. From the soft sand to the splashing waves, to chasing the sea birds, it was a a magical time at one of the most beautiful beaches on the North Shore.

It a gift to be invited into someone’s life in this way and something that is unique to being a photographer. To look back on these images, I am filled with gratitude to be witness to how love grows.

Always these are SO beautiful, thank you, thank you. We’re so grateful you’ve been able to capture us over the last six years. It’s so fun to see everything in this album that goes back to our engagement session and even then comparing W as a baby. Can’t wait for the next shoot!

North Shore Maternity Portraits at Appleton Farms

With a due date around Halloween, Alissa knew that she wanted a maternity session that celebrated all fall has to offer in New England. The open fields of the Appleton Grass Rides were the perfect location to showcase off things fall. The evening was filled with soft golden light as dog walkers and horse riders enjoyed one of the last warm evenings of the season, newly fallen leaves crunching underneath. A golden hue of yellow and orange filtered through the tress - a photographer’s dream. Gentle, intimate, relaxed, portraits to celebrate the upcoming arrival of their baby girl.

North Shore Maternity Photos
Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful experience for us, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. You made us so comfortable with the whole process and captured the moments perfectly. I will treasure these photos and memories of my pregnancy. I am so glad we connected and I can’t wait to work with you again for our newborn photos!

Boston Lifestyle Newborn Session

I love working with black and white images. Maybe it’s because I learned photography through black and white film work. Maybe it’s because some of the first photographers I became familiar with worked in black and white. Perhaps it’s the simplicity of a black and white image that draws me in the most.

So when a client comes to me and shares that they love black and white images, the creative in my heart soars. I delighted in creating a collection of black and white images for this family as they welcomed their son home.

Even after all these years I still find see and appreciate the magic of a still frame, a simple black and white image and the power photography has to share the story of life.

New Hampshire Newborn Session

For over a decade Liz and Pat have entrusted me with their most cherished memories. It is wild to even type that out. They were some of my earliest clients and I’ll always be grateful to have been given the opportunity to document their wedding day. Our working experience has lead to a dear friendship and now the privilege of documenting as their family has grown over the years.

Wanting to celebrate the arrival of Baby J, Liz and Pat opted for a relaxed session at home where they could cuddle together as siblings ran about, occasionally stopping to offer Baby J a kiss or snuggle.

There’s something special about hosting a session in the comfort of home. It’s where your babies feel safe and loved, where you feel your most relaxed. All the makings of a memorable and meaningful session.

Newburyport Newborn Session

Welcoming their third boy, Karissa & Tanner chose to celebrate his arrival with a relaxed lifestyle newborn session at the Newburyport Studio in downtown Newburyport. Bathed in soft, diffused lighting we let the session unfold taking cues from their sweet older boys who simply wanted to love on their newest little brother.

In the quiet (and rambunctious) moments with their boys, Karissa and Tanner celebrated what their love had created. It was a privilege to document this connection and welcome in a new season as a family of five.

Deb was relatable and made our family feel very comfortable, like we were hanging out with an old friend. She fit seamlessly into our messy and chaotic life. When she delivered our gallery, we were amazed. She was able to capture little snippets of our crazy and make them look effortlessly cool. Each photo was beautiful. I cannot recommend Deb enough!

Crane Beach Family Session

Crane Beach is simply a dream location for family portraits and on a gorgeous spring evening it boasted in all it’s glory for this special family. As long time clients, it was a special treat for me to have this family in front of my lens once again, documenting how their family has grown over the years. Each kiddo with their own unique personality, mixed with snippets of Mom and Dad.

Their newest addition was the star of the show with her sweet baby rolls and giggly smile. Her older brothers enjoyed doting on their baby sister with lots of hugs and kisses to go around. Our goal was relaxed, beach-y vibes, digging toes in the sand and enjoying the first days of warm spring weather. Looking back at these images, I can feel the soft sand, the warm breeze on my skin and love this family shares.

At Home Preemie Newborn Session

With a name like Georgia, you’re bound to be as sweet as a peach. I had the privilege of meeting this little fighter shortly after she joined her family at home, much to the delight of her parents.

A nursery dedicated to all things girly & peach provided the perfect backdrop for this darling session. With an easy approach keeping the focus on comfort, Mom, Dad and Baby enjoyed a relaxing session together while celebrating the big and small milestones that brought them to that exact place - at home with their sweet baby girl.

New England Summer Family Photos

On a very blustery Cape Cod evening, I reconnected with long time clients to celebrate how their family has grown over the years. What a treat to meet their two beautiful girls while enjoying the soft sand and cotton candy skies. The evening was filled with giggles and hugs - and an overwhelming appreciation for health, family and being together. These are the moments that become cherished memories - they are not big or flashy. Rather it’s the small and intimate times we share together, just as we are, that often stay planted in our hearts forever.

Destination Coastal Maternity Portraits on Cape Cod

Having grown up on Cape Cod and recently moved back to the area, Elba & Brandon were excited to share Mayflower Beach with me, one of their favorite places on Cape Cod. To celebrate the upcoming arrival of their baby boy we captured a fun and relaxed destination portrait session on the beach, the perfect setting for this fun and laid back couple. Still early in the season, we had the beach near all to ourselves making for a beautiful backdrop. It was a thrill to reconnect with Elba & Brandon and help them celebrate this beautiful season of life!

Cozy Winter Newborn Session At Home

Last fall I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful family when we connected to photograph their updated family portraits. Just a few short months later, Lindsay reached back out to share that they were expecting a baby and would love to capture all the joy of welcoming their daughter into world. Of course I was thrilled to have this amazing family in front of my camera once again to document every snuggly moment with their newest arrival. Enjoy some of my faves from their cozy winter newborn session at home.

Neutral Inspired Newborn Session

I had the privilege of meeting this beautiful family this past spring as they welcomed their newest arrival. This being their third baby, Mom and Dad wanted images that celebrated the growth of their family while also showcasing their beautiful baby girl. Of course this meant lots of snuggles and embracing a soft pink color palette. It was a joy to help capture this moment and all the beauty of welcoming a new little one into the world!

I first met Samantha and her beautiful red headed family when they invited me to their home to help celebrate the arrival of their baby girl.

Fall in New England Family Session

One of the creative challenges of working during a pandemic is figuring out how to host clients in a safe, comfortable environment. That meant thinking outside the box and often working with clients outdoors, near to their home. 2020 brought me to many different locations but one of my favorites has to be this beautiful, quiet piece of conservation land.
