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 đ
I have known Lauren for a VERY long time. We grew up in the same small town, and when we were older she used to take amazing care of my oldest daughter in preschool. Lauren reached out last February and asked if I could photograph her wedding in September, and at first my heart sank, because I had just found out I was expecting my second baby and that it would be too close to the due date. I had to spill the beans that I was pregnant (before we had announced it yet) so I wouldn’t be available. Then she told me it was September 2017, and I was A – so excited that I would available to capture their special day and B – so impressed with how ahead of the game Lauren was with planning đ
Lauren and Bryan are just the sweetest couple, it was such a pleasure working with them in the planning stages and on the actual wedding day. Even with the rain, nothing was stopping them from making the most of this big day. Their celebration filled with so much love and laughter, and their guests were up rocking it out on the dance floor all night! I have to admit I was actually disappointed when the night was over!
I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this one, so please keep scrolling!

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 đ You have brought so much love and laughter to our household, I can’t believe how quickly this first year has passed!!
And now, her one year portraits!
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!
I had the privilege of second shooting this summer wedding with my dear friend, Alisha Maria Photography. The cliff-side ceremony was held at the Captain’s House, an absolutely beautiful bed and breakfast in Rockport, MA. I then went to capture the cocktail hour and reception at the Community House of Rockport.
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 đ Enjoy!
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.
Last summer I was excited to FINALLY photograph this wonderful class of 2017 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Ellie. I met Ellie back when she was a Freshman in high school, when she grabbed one of my senior portrait flyers for her mom insisting âIâm going to have you do my senior portraits!â Fast forward three years (and how quickly THEY went) and sure enough here we were, planning out her senior portrait session!
Ellie is quite a unique individual, and wanted to make sure we captured that in her portraits. I love when my seniors bring unique props to showcase their favorite activities and hobbies! An Edgar Allen Poe fanatic, we got photos of Ellie her with her collection of favorite books, her sketchbook, and of course her camera.
Ellie will be attending Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) pursuing a degree in Production.
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 â eek!) Some places are just so beautiful, it’s worth the risk đ
I also love photographing dancers, and have a special love for Pointe â I still canât 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.

I cannot believe this handsome cousin of mine is all grown and graduating high school! Just two years ago I shot his sisterâs senior portraits up in West Groton, MA, and to date it is one of my favorite locations Iâve ever shot! I was so excited to get the opportunity to shoot around the grounds of Rivercourt Residences again.
And of course we had to get some with Samâs one of his favorite possessions â his motorcycle!
This Fall, Sam will be off to attend Westfield State University to study Business Administration
