I first had the opportunity to photograph Elissa and Scott for their Estate at Moraine Farm wedding. It was an absolutely joy to work with this sweet and generous couple so I was equally delighted to be asked to photograph the arrival of their sweet baby girl Annabel.
Beautiful Nour was born earlier this spring and on a warm April afternoon I had the pleasure of capturing her newborn session just days after entering the world. Her parents Younes & Alyssa were married two short years ago, you can view their gorgeous wedding here. It was a joy to be invited back into their lives to help them document and savor this time of life together.
I was honored to be asked by Rachel and her family to capture their little one earlier this spring. How sweet it was to be invited into their home to document this incredible time of life. Big brother excitedly bounced from room to room occasionally stopping to check in on his brand new sister who stayed happily wrapped up in Mom’s arms.
The past few years has seen a boom in past DZP couples growing their families — and I LOVE it!! It’s such a privilege to be invited into such a special time in a couple’s life and help them celebrate the milestone of a new baby with photography!!
I was delighted when Molly emailed me earlier this year letting me know they were expecting (and due around the same time as me!) and that she wanted to celebrate the occasion with a portrait session. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating Molly & Andrew’s wedding day and here we were anticipating the arrival of their baby girl!! Congratulations you two, enjoy a few of my favorite images!!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over two years since Jayme and Cory tied the knot at the beautiful Chatham Bars Inn. It was such an amazing celebration and remains one of my favorite wedding days to date!! I was thrilled when they contacted me earlier this year to let me know they were expecting a baby girl – I couldn’t wait to capture them together as a family of three.
Earlier this fall I met Jayme and Cory at their beautiful home to photograph their newest addition. It was so nice to catch up and have this sweet couple in front of my camera again!! I’m so thankful for clients who trust me to capture their lives long after the wedding day!! What a joy to celebrate life’s milestones with photography!! Here are a few of my favorite images from our time together. Congratulations Jayme & Cory!!

After our struggle with miscarriage and infertility, to find out that we were expecting this past spring was such a surprise. We were a mix of excited, apprehensive and how the heck did this happen? We had just come to a place emotionally, spiritually and mentally where we had accepted our family the way it was and we were at peace. Then came the surprise of all surprises and we found ourselves dreaming about the future as a family of four again.
I knew that having a maternity session to celebrate this gift of our baby girl would be really important to us. We wanted a session to celebrate our relationship (11 years of marriage!), our family of three, the anticipation of our second baby and to remember the struggle we endured the past two years of infertility.
When it came time to choose a photographer I knew just who I wanted to help us document this time in life. I have long admired Beth’s work, particularly her film work and fell in love with the soft, romantic feel of her images. I was so thankful she was available and excited to photograph our maternity session and all the stars aligned for a fall session at our favorite place, Crane Beach this past October.
Thank you Beth for helping us capture this time in life together. These images mean the world to us and we just cannot thank you enough for the gift you’ve given us!! Here are some of our favorites 🙂

Today is a classic New England snow day!! With the snow coming in we’re hunkered down with cookies baked, the fireplace roaring and hot cocoa ready to go. It’s also the perfect day to share Pat & Liz’s cozy and cuddly family session from earlier this January. You may remember these two from their beautiful summer wedding at Curtis farm almost five years ago!! It hard to believe that!! I still remember their incredible day and I feel so lucky to have been invited to photograph the next phase of their lives together!!
If you haven’t guessed, New England is cold during the winter months so when it came time for locations for a newborn session, home seemed like the best choice. Liz and Pat’s home is beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout, especially the nursery. It was the perfect backdrop!! We spent a lovely morning together, reminiscing and admiring their sweet, adorable baby boy.
Pat and Liz are the perfect clients — they trusted me with whatever suggestions I had to make this session meaningful. I was able to stretch my creative muscles shooting part of the session on film. That combination of freedom of creativity and a trusting relationship with my clients sets my artistic soul ablaze. Thank you Pat & Liz, enjoy some of my favorite images!!

I relish any opportunity to visit Texas so when my dear friend Amy asked if I’d travel west to photograph their darling family I jumped at the chance!! On a very foggy afternoon we headed into Austin to visit beautiful Laguna Gloria. It’s an eclectic mix of Texas charm and Mediterranean flair — I had to keep reminding myself we weren’t on the Italian coast!! I could have stayed in their lovely gardens all day, filled with Spanish moss, ferns and palm trees. We roamed the property and spent a glorious time together. What’s more romantic than a floral crown, a flowy pink dress and Spanish moss?! Extra exciting bonus? I did a hybrid of film & digital for their session!!
