Monday afternoon, I met up with the V family along the Charles River Esplanade in Boston for their family photos!

I photographed this sweet family a couple of years ago when their oldest daughter was just a newborn, so I was SO excited to see them again, now with a second beautiful little girl in tow!

Lianna had envisioned a mix of photos along the Esplanade and some classic Boston Back Bay scenery, so we set off on a little walking tour to make it happen!

The fall foliage was absolutely drenched in golden sunlight, exactly what you hope for this time of year! We wandered along the river, soaking up the gorgeous afternoon light, with plenty of smiles along the way.

After exploring the Esplanade, we crossed over a footbridge and made our way into Back Bay for those quintessential Boston backdrops. We wandered through the beautiful streets until the littlest member of the family decided it was time for a snack. A perfectly good reason to call it a wrap, if you ask me! 😉

It was so wonderful catching up with this family and seeing how much they've grown since our last session. Thank you guys so much for spending your afternoon with me!

Leave some love for the V family below, and until next time...

Sunday's sunset senior session with Natalie was so much fun!

Natalie's mom, Melissa, is my cousin, and I have some pretty vivid memories of waking her up at 6 AM when she was babysitting my brother and me while our parents were away. I also remember when Natalie was born, so once again, I'm feeling my age over here!

We met up at the Red Barn in Holden, MA, for her senior photos. It was really important to Natalie to include her cat, Eva, in her session, so this was the perfect spot close to home where Eva could have her moment in the spotlight before being whisked back home like the diva she is.

Natalie had quite the crew with her! Her mom Melissa, stepdad Bill (who was on Eva transportation duty), boyfriend Lucas, and my mom, her Auntie Di, all came along for the fun.

We started with some photos of Natalie and Eva before moving into some solo portraits. After an outfit change, Natalie had some ideas of her own that I absolutely loved! She's been writing in journals since she was 9 years old, and she brought all **49 of them** to her session! How cool is that?! We incorporated them into some of her photos, and I loved getting to capture something so personal and meaningful to her.

The fall foliage was gorgeous, the sunset was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening!

We wrapped things up with some photos of Natalie with her mom, Lucas, and my mom, and even managed to sneak in a photo of Natalie, my mom, and me together. ❤️

Thank you guys so much for having me! I had such a blast spending the evening with all of you, and it was so special getting to photograph another milestone for our family.

Natalie, have the BEST senior year!

Until next time!

This morning was a BRISK 28 degrees, and while none of us (Kallie, her parents, or myself) are morning people, we had a mission: Kallie's senior photos!

The morning light slicing through the fall foliage was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we were hoping for!

Kallie's mom, Kristi, is my cousin, so I'm really aging myself when I say I remember her babysitting me when I was little. I also remember holding Kallie in the hospital when she was just a newborn! So when they asked me to photograph her senior photos, I was SO excited. How are we already here?!

We spent the morning meandering down trails, chasing that beautiful golden light, and eventually ended our session in a big open field. Kallie was a trooper in the chilly weather, sneaking in blanket breaks between photos to warm up. 😂

Thank you guys so much for having me! I had such a blast spending the morning with you all, even at 7 AM and 28 degrees. 😉 Kallie, I hope you have an amazing senior year! ❤️

Leave Kallie some love below, and until next time...

It's time for the B/G fam's annual family photos!

I look forward to seeing this sweet family every single year, and yesterday couldn't have been more perfect for their session! The fall foliage was absolutely showing off, giving us the most beautiful backdrop for their photos.

And these girls! They brought ALL the energy, giggles, and personality, and I loved every minute of it. They are seriously the cutest, and it's always so much fun getting to see how much they've grown from one year to the next!

One of my favorite things about photographing families year after year is getting to watch their stories unfold and capture all those little changes along the way.

B/G fam, thank you so much for continuing to have me document these memories for you! It's always such a pleasure spending time with you guys. ❤️

Leave this sweet family some love below, and until next time!

Monty reached out to me back in August about proposing to his girlfriend, Emily, during their trip to Salem! The two were traveling in from Texas, although Monty is an East Coaster himself, originally from New Jersey, while Emily hails from Arlington, TX!

After some emails back and forth, we had a plan in place! Of course, October in New England had other ideas, and we spent the days leading up to the proposal keeping a VERY close eye on the weather. We even decided to move things up slightly on the day of to try to beat the rain!

I arrived at the Ropes Mansion Gardens and found myself a hiding spot, tucked partially into a bush, Homer Simpson style. 😂 Meanwhile, Monty was secretly texting me updates as he and Emily made their way over.

Thankfully, the rain held off just long enough for Monty to get down on one knee!

Emily was completely shocked! Her hands immediately flew to her face, happy tears started rolling down her cheeks, and a small crowd nearby cheered their congratulations. It was SUCH a sweet moment!

After introducing myself to Emily, saying hello to Monty, and sharing some congratulations, we kicked off their engagement session!

We wandered around the Ropes Mansion, stopped by the Witch House, and then ventured into the absolute chaos that is Salem in October. By this point, the rain had arrived, but these two weren't letting a little water stop them!

We made our way through the town center, down toward the Friendship of Salem and the lighthouse, and wrapped up their session in front of the Custom House. Rain and all, these two were absolute troopers, and we had such a fun time exploring together!

Afterward, I walked with them over to Salem Ink, where they were planning to commemorate their trip with tattoos! We said our goodbyes, and I headed off into the rain.

Monty and Emily, it was SUCH a pleasure meeting you both and spending the afternoon wandering Salem together! Thank you so much for having me be part of such a special moment. Congratulations again, and I hope you had safe travels back to Texas!

Leave some love for the newly engaged couple below, and until next time...

Saturday was the PERFECT day for Regan and Peter's wedding at Flamig Farm!

I started the day with Regan at her parents' home, where she was all smiles and ready for the day's festivities! After slipping into her beautiful gown, she and her dad headed out to her parents' garden for their first look. It was such an emotional and sweet moment, made even more special by the setting.

You see, Regan's mom, Karin, grew the majority of the flowers used throughout the wedding day! From the bouquets and boutonnieres to the centerpieces, so much of the day's beautiful florals came straight from her garden. Karin told me that gardening is like therapy for her, and I just LOVE the extra layers of love and meaning that went into every single arrangement. How special is that?!

After some family formals among the flowers, I headed over to Flamig Farm to capture a few details before the festivities got underway. I met up with my second photographer, Sage, who had been hanging out with Peter and his groomsmen, along with the video team, Fitz Pics Photography. We all piled into a golf cart with Peter and headed down the dirt road to Flamig Farm owner Julie's home for Regan and Peter's first look!

Their first look was so sweet, and afterward we took advantage of an AMAZING vintage truck for some portraits. Seriously, what a cool addition to their wedding photos! Once we wrapped up, we headed back toward the tent and ceremony space so the two of them could enjoy a little quiet time together before saying "I do."

With their guests seated and ready, it was time for the ceremony! Regan and her dad made their entrance in that same vintage truck before proudly walking down the aisle together to a waiting Peter. Their ceremony was heartfelt and full of beautiful vows, ending with their first kiss as husband and wife. And just when you thought things couldn't get any cuter, the newlyweds stopped at the end of the aisle for a CHEST BUMP! 😂 Absolutely hilarious and adorable, and so perfectly them!

After wrapping up some more formal portraits, it was time to celebrate! The reception was filled with sweet dances, amazing speeches, delicious food, and so much laughter. Once DownCity got the dance floor going, there was no stopping this crew! Everyone danced the night away, and it was such a fun way to end an already incredible day.

Regan and Peter, thank you SO much for having us be part of your wedding! We had an absolute blast working with the two of you and your wonderful families. Your day was filled with so many thoughtful, personal touches, and it was such a joy to capture it all. Congratulations again, you two!

Leave some love for the newlyweds below, and until next time...

Friday was an absolutely stunning afternoon for Abbey’s senior photos at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island!

I work with Abbey’s mom, Amy, at my ophthalmology job, so when she approached me about photographing Abbey’s senior portraits, I was SO excited!

I met up with Abbey at Salve Regina, where she was joined by her boyfriend, Michael, his dad, and a friend who brought along a VERY beautiful Corvette. How cool is that?! Naturally, we had to kick things off with a few photos featuring the car and Michael!

Afterward, we headed around the property to take advantage of that gorgeous golden hour light. Salve Regina has such beautiful grounds, and we had the perfect afternoon to explore them! Abbey was an absolute sweetheart, and we had such a wonderful time wandering around and finding beautiful little spots for photos. And let me tell you, this girl knew her angles! She gave all the credit to Mom for that one. ;)

We eventually made our way back to the front of the property for a few final photos before wrapping things up with a hug goodbye.

Abbey, it was such a pleasure spending the afternoon with you! Thank you so much for having me capture this exciting chapter in your life. I hope you have an absolutely amazing senior year, and I have no doubt you'll go on to do big things!

Leave Abbey some congratulations below, and until next time...

I am SO excited to be sharing this sneak peek! I’ve been working with Vini and Aris for a few years now, and it’s always such a blast to have them in front of my camera. So when Aris reached out to tell me they were expecting, I was beyond excited for them. This is going to be one very loved baby girl!

Aris and Vini wanted their maternity session to take place in Chatham, where they spend their summers. Our original date was rained out, and this past Sunday was looking a little iffy too, but we decided to go for it anyway. Armed with clear umbrellas and a plan, we started at Chatham Lighthouse Beach.

We lucked out! Aside from a few raindrops here and there, the weather held. The beach was nearly deserted, and the cloudy skies gave us beautiful, even light with just a little bit of drama in the background.

After some time on the beach and by the lighthouse, we headed into town to visit one of Aris and Vini’s favorite spots, Chatham Candy Manor. Along the way, we spotted the cutest pink bench outside an ice cream shop and obviously had to stop for a few photos. I mean, a pink bench during a maternity session for a baby girl? It was meant to be.

Of course we had to stop inside the candy shop too, and they were sweet enough to buy me a box of chocolates. I may or may not have been snacking on them while editing these sneak peeks. 😉

From there, we made our way over to Chatham Bars Inn for the last part of their session. And I mean *last part* because just as we were wrapping up, the skies completely opened up. Talk about perfect timing!

Aris and Vini, thank you so much for having me capture another special chapter in your lives. I am so excited for your growing family and know you two are going to make wonderful parents.

See you at the baby shower!

Saturday was a GORGEOUS fall day for Hannah and Garrett’s engagement session!

I met up with these two at George Hill in Lancaster, MA, and we could not have asked for a better evening. Their session was absolutely sun-drenched as we made our way through the tall grasses and up the hill, with sprawling farmland behind them.

Garrett had us laughing pretty much the entire time, as he is something of a comedian. It was such a blast finally getting to meet them in person! I knew we clicked during our consultation, but this session totally sealed the deal.

Their baby boy was hanging out with his grandparents for the evening, so naturally I told them they HAD to take advantage and go grab dinner together before picking him up. Apparently, I wasn’t the first person to give them that advice either. ;)

Hannah and Garrett, thank you so much for having me! I hope you had the best date night afterward, and I am SO excited to photograph your wedding next year!

Leave these two some love below, and until next time...

I'm so excited to share that Neona & Hickory's June elopement at Satanic Ceremonies in Salem is featured on Offbeat Wed!
Check it out

Neona and Hickory planned to roll up to The Satanic Temple in Neona's 1984 Cadillac hearse. The brakes had other plans, and so did the power steering pump. They got married anyway, on June 6, 2026, with permanent fangs, a black-and-red handfasting cord, and the ashes of their late Rottweiler set int...
