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:
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 “I’m going to have you do my senior portraits!” 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 – 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.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous Uxbridge High School senior, Hailey! This was my first portrait session at Kiwanis Beach in Upton, which is one of mine and my daughter’s favorite places to spend summer days! Our timing could not have been any better; the evening twilight made for absolutely GORGEOUS lighting for Hailey’s portraits.
After graduation, Hailey plans on attending school for Biology. Best of luck, Hailey!
Last summer I was very excited to photograph this wonderful class of 2016 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Rachel. After getting her hair and makeup done by my friend and professional hair and makeup artist Beckie Davis, we met up on a beautiful August day at one of my favorite places, Riverbend Farm.
One of Rachel’s proudest academic accomplishments is her success with the SkillsUSA organization. She is a two-time gold medalist for the state of Massachusetts (which earned her a seat at nationals) in the Photography competition, so of course we had to feature that in her senior portraits.
Rachel has yet to decide which school she wants to go to, but intends on pursuing her degree in graphic design and photography. I can’t wait to see where your career takes you — you have exciting things ahead!!!
