A Snowy Family Session

There are few things more beautiful than a snowy New England morning…

Overnight, Mother Nature blessed us with a fresh white snow that provided a beautiful backdrop for my session with the Edgren’s. Extended family sessions are so special, and absolutely one of my favorite types of sessions to capture! Aunts and Uncles catching up; cousins laughing; and the grandparents watching over all of it with a smile on their face – I love capturing all the different family dynamics!

Here are some of my favorites from their session:

I had so much fun meeting with all my clients today to capture their holiday family portraits at the beautiful Kiwanis Beach in Upton, MA! Sneak peaks of my favorites are below:

Baby F

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing 10 day old baby “F”, and I must say, he is the easiest newborn I’ve ever worked with! He slept almost the entire time for us, and when he was awake, he was so content and pleased to just check out the world around him. When big brother got home from school, we were able to sneak in a couple shots of them as well. Scroll down to see my favorites of these handsome little men 🙂

Addison Turns One

Addison, you came into our life at just the right time to complete our family. It’s been such an amazing journey watching you grow, and watching Kaydence become a big sister 🙂 You have brought so much love and laughter to our household, I can’t believe how quickly this first year has passed!!

Brett’s BarMitzvah

This October, I had the pleasure of photographing Brett’s Bar Mitzvah. We met at Congregation B’nai Shalom in Westboro to capture portraits of the family and Brett before the ceremony took place.

From the live entertainment to the hockey skate centerpieces and custom logo party swag, all I can say is if Ami was ever looking for a career change, party planning would DEFINITELY be the way to go! 😉

A new addition…

Last weekend I had the pleasure of exploring River Bend Farm and capturing family portraits for the lovely Cordaro Family, including their newest little one, miss Anna. It was so sweet seeing Aria being a big sister; it seems like just yesterday I was taking her newborn family photos!

Natick Senior Session at Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary

On a hot summer August day, I met up with this lovely Natick High Senior for her senior portrait session! This was my first time visiting the Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, and I have to say, I think I’ve found a new favorite portrait session location! Fiona has spent many summers at this sanctuary as a camp counselor, and knew all the best little spots to go for these gorgeous photo opportunities.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Baby A is 6 months

As a busy mom, wife, teacher, photographer, dog mom, girl scout troop leader (anything else?!) I always find myself so behind on taking pictures of my own children. My goal this year is to be better at staying on top of it this year (as I write this, I’m reminded that I STILL have yet to take my oldest daughter’s yearly portrait now that she just turned 8 so I’m already behind)!

The weekend Addison turned 6 months, I found myself with a quick half hour of time to snap some pictures of her in all her cuteness 🙂 Enjoy!

Baby A is 3 Months

For Addison’s 3 month portraits, I wanted to honor my late grandmother, our “Grandy”. In July of 2016, my grandmother went to the doctor for a raspy, sore throat she was not able to shake. Within days of that appointment, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. By the time they found it, it had spread to her lymph nodes and bones. Ready to put up a fight, Grandy started her first round of chemotherapy treatment. On the morning of my first day of the new school year, I received a phone call from my mom at 3:58am. I learned our dear Grandy had suddenly passed away. My family was left devastated, to say the least. Grandy had just retired a short time before, and was excitedly looking forward to caring for Addison one day a week after I went back to work. Before learning about her illness, Grandy had started knitting several gifts for Addison, one of them being what has to be the softest blankets I have ever held (the pink and purple blanket featured in these photos). While we are devastated that she never had the chance to meet her third great-granddaughter, we are so happy to have these special gifts she made just for her that we can treasure forever.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Meaghan! I have to say this is one of my favorite families to work with – we always have so much fun with their shoots! This time we explored the BEAUTIFUL Moore State Park and I have to say, I now have a new favorite spot! (well, with the exception of those water snakes we had to dodge – eek!) Some places are just so beautiful, it’s worth the risk 😉

I also love photographing dancers, and have a special love for Pointe – I still can’t imagine the strength and training (and pain!) must go into being able to do that!

After graduation, Meaghan plans on attending Umass and majoring in Communication Disorders.
