Edward’s Senior Session

I had the pleasure of photographing another class of 2016 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Edward. In addition to working as an intern in the Design and Print Center, Edward enjoys being involved in the volleyball program at the school both volunteering with the girls team in the Fall and playing on the Boys Varsity team in the spring. This of course meant we had to get a few shots of him in his favorite volleyball gear 😉

“Monique is a consummate professional, but makes the senior portrait process enjoyable for the client. The final product is what you would expect from the combination of professional and enjoyable – outstanding photos that capture the essence of the person, their personality and their spirit in the most natural and complimentary way possible. We could not have possibly been happier with Edward’s senior portraits. They are keepsakes we will cherish forever.”          – Louise Taylor, Upton

Rachel’s Senior Session

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.

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.

An Extended Family Session

As families grow and get busy with their own lives, it can be difficult to get everyone together at one time. Extended family photos and generational portraits offer the perfect opportunity to reconnect, and capture special memories your entire family will treasure forever!

This past winter, I was contacted by a previous client with a special request. Her mother had always wanted professional photos of all of her children and grandchildren together, and while their family from Michigan was in town for the holidays, they wanted to take advantage of that  opportunity to have them taken! A few days after Christmas we met up at Riverbend Farm, and while winter can sometimes be tricky for outdoor sessions (especially with this years record-breaking winter), we really lucked out with the weather!

“For the holidays, my mom requested professional portraits of her extended family. After having such a wonderful experience with my daughter’s Senior portraits, I immediately contacted Monique! Monique was able to capture all 15 of us in the most natural setting, incorporating our ideas with many of her own.  She took a personal interest in our entire family and it is so apparent when we see the photos. Her photographs captured our family’s story. I could not have asked for a better experience, or more importantly, such beautiful photos that we will treasure for a long time.”­ – Cara B.

Sister's Session

Sister’s Session

I had these two beauties in the studio this February. Although they may look like it, I swear they are not really twins, haha! These girls are just so polite and sweet. After their session was done, they were so good about playing horses with my daughter (who had quite a case of the sillies when they were here!). These two girls have been horseback riding since they were 3, which of course started prompting the questions of “mumma, when can I start horseback riding?” as soon as they left! I hope you enjoyed your session and the photos you two! <3

Courtney & Daniel Engagement

Courtney & Daniel’s Engagement

What better day for an engagement session than Valentine’s Day!

After shooting their family portraits in September, I was excited to have the opportunity to photograph Courtney and Daniel again for their engagement session! They are so much fun to work with, and just naturals in front of the camera. This time we met up at the beautiful old mills in Whitinsville, MA, and I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out – you two are absolutely stunning!

Kristen Senior Session

Kristen’s Senior Session

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing this Class of 2015 senior, Kristen! Before we headed out for her session, my friend and professional hair and makeup artist Beckie Davis met up with us at Kristen’s house to get her primped and ready for her portraits! (Learn more about Monique Tervo Design & Photography’s Senior Glam Experience) After about an hour of getting her hair and makeup perfect, we were ready to go!

As we were leaving Kristen’s, I noticed the skies were turning grey. Then, sprinkles were dropping on the windshield. I started pleading with mother nature, especially after just having her hair and makeup done, to please just hold out for a bit longer!

And she listened! The sprinkles stopped within minutes of arriving at River Bend Farm, and we proceeded with business as usual – and Kristen ROCKED it!

Connor Senior Session

Connor’s Senior Session

I had the pleasure of capturing Connor’s Class of 2015 senior portraits this past summer. I seem to get a lot more female than male clients, so I was excited to have the opportunity to switch it up a bit!

I first met up with Connor at Blackstone Valley Tech to capture some images of him in his football uniform, which he has played there since he was a Freshman. Then we headed over to Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge, MA to capture more traditional portraits. Connor was totally laid back and full of great smiles, which made it easy to capture some great images!
