hi! me again. haven’t done an intro in awhile 😎 i have been creating images and physical memories for families professionally for 16 years. it has been some of my greatest joys to capture families as they are; in gorgeous outside settings, in cozy homes, or wherever they felt at home with each other. i like to sit quietly back and watch whatever is going to, unfold, and then save it forever. all of the tender little moments, and the big ones too. i am from central maine, after living in Connecticut for most of my life. it was my biggest dream my whole life to live in maine, and most days it still doesn’t quite feel real. i love this rugged, beautiful state so much. i have 6 kiddos ages 5 and up, and this year is first year i don’t have a single child home with me, and that feels wild. i am married to the actual best human, who’ll stop what he’s doing to make me a peanut butter and jelly. i love being outside- i love to camp and garden and swim in the lake and paddleboard and lay on my driveway and look up at the Milky Way. however, there isn’t a single winter activity you’ll catch me doing other than cozying up under the blankets with a good book 😎 i believe that photography should be accessible to all, because all families should have the ability to hang beautiful images on their walls and cherish them forever. i am always always willing to meet people where they and their budgets are at, please do not hesitate to reach out if you want to work with me but my prices are out of your range, i do not turn clients down due to financial need.

it’s been some time since my Fall weekends were packed with sessions. it almost doesn’t seem real that that was once my life. and then i comb through images from past sessions and remember it ✨ all ✨. i would love nothing more than to spend some time with new {to me}families in the Winthrop area, and beyond this fall. i have week day daytime, and weekend availability in all of these cozy ‘ber months of ours. i am so eager to get back to working with some beautiful families, that i am willing to offer a discounted session fee for this fall. feel free to message me for more info 🥰 🍂

I never want to forget her chubby little hands, and how much joy they always brought me.; long after they've grown and look less baby like.

so much of the last 16 years of my life has been caught up in day-long parenting, every day. this little baby of mine is off to kindergarten in the fall, and while I feel so sad about that, and the ending of a very long chapter, I am so eager to see what's in store for me, and this little business of mine that I've carried from state to state, never quite giving up on it. we get more and more dandelions every years because my kids do a *really* good job of spreading the seeds everywhere, every June. and so now we have this impressive hillside loaded with little puffs of magic, just waiting for a baby girl to run through and spread wishes everywhere. 🩶

our annual thanksgiving photo is missing a child this year, due to the sheer nature of The Four Year Old, but hopefully we'll get her in one soon. I am so thankful of all of these babies of mine, and I can't believe how fast they're growing. ❤️

15 years ago today, i had my first paid session. I’d been encouraged by friends at the time to do sessions for others, for money, because they enjoyed seeing my images of my family online. For as long as i can remember, I’ve been drawn to creating art with a camera. and my journey has been quite a non linear one. i dove headfirst into this career and was quite busy for all the years i was in connecticut. i shifted away from listening to my own creative heart, and started listening to others, and their rules. the last few years have been really challenging, and my art has taken quite a hit. and i never found myself lamenting the loss of creating, i kept focusing on the fact that i wasn’t “working”. and so every time I’ve tried to come back to this, it’s been from a place of wanting to work. to commodify something that has always just been an artistic extension of who i am as a human. i have been focusing a lot lately on rules and not following them anymore. in every aspect of my life. rules box you in and define what never should have been defined. as a neurodivergent person, it’s very easy to find yourself carrying around a rule book, most of which is largely unnecessary. when i captured and edited (both artistic expressions) the images of my children last week, i let go of all the rules I’ve learned and created over these last 15 years and created. created instead of worked. and it felt so good deep down in my heart. i was hungry to edit, instead of blowing through images applying the same corrections and edits to all images for a consistent gallery. i don’t care if eyes are out of focus. i don’t care if part of an image is washed out. i don’t care if the 8 black and white images in a gallery are all the same hue. i am going to crop images however the f**k my heart wants me to crop. no more rules. no more worrying about having the latest and greatest fancy gear (i refuse to go mirrorless). i am going to create. not work. and i am going to be doing a lot more creating for myself. and i hope some day you’ll ask me to create for you, too. *and* i hope you can find space in your little corner of the world to let go of some rules, too. 🩶

in Irish mythology, her name means 'one who brings great joy'. it is also a symbol of resilience and power. and independence and strength. all of these words fit her so very well. she has done nothing but bring me joy, and carve her own path since she was born. and all I can hope is that as her mother, I do everything I can to allow her to live to her strength and power and grow in them, and not diminish her light.

I was not kidding when I said this was the most fun session! The energy between these two best friends is absolutely magical, and it was so special to be able to document it for them! ❤️

the more I grow as a photographer, and certainly as a human, the more I let go of rules. there are no rules, really. images do not need to look a certain way technically to invoke emotion. there are so many unnecessary rules that we create and we follow regularly that are so self limiting. don't be afraid to let go of rules that don't make sense. like, the rule of making sure your subjects are perfectly in focus in an image. unnecessary.

it was an absolute *delight* to do this best friend session! and you can trust that I'll be sharing plenty from it- because guess what, the rule about only posting 1 or 2 images from a session? also unnecessary.
