Little imp on the beach

My kids love the beach!

Joanna & Justin hide in the book stacks & look awesome

Joanna and Justin wanted their engagement portraits taken at a library. We snuck in to the Enoch Pratt Free Library and took to the book stacks.

Sweet little kiddos in black & white

A little black & white portrait work of Z & G for you today! My favorite thing about photographing little kids are the off moments, and when they're getting down and dirty. G's wild hair is hilarious and Z's the...

Striking Athena: a model shoot in downtown Brookline, MA

And here is where I think Athena's posing talent takes the cake; I instructed her to make interesting shapes using the negative space around her body, and she gave me several great varieties!

Christina & Daniel: the favorites!

Some of my absolute favorites were taken in and around City Feed, where we bought wonderful coffee and enjoyed the bright, sunny cafe windows.

Cape Cod Wedding: Emily & Julian at Wequassett

What a small group of love; Julian and his mother, and Emily with her parents. The sun was setting over the Cape.

Dreamy Engagement in Jamaica Plain: Christina & Daniel in love

The cherry blossoms were blooming around Jamaica Pond--part of Boston's beautiful Emerald Necklace. Christina and Daniel met with me to create beautiful photographs for their engagement.

Cousins on the playground

I met this lovely set of cousins at a playground one bright afternoon for their first set of family photographs together! These two families had just moved close to one another; it's always special to be able to chronicle families growing up alongside each other.

Lovely Kaitlyn: a model shoot in downtown Jamaica Plain

Then, we were interrupted by what appeared to be some sort of Little League parade. I let my shutter drag a bit to capture some of the motion; it came out looking pretty foggy and dreamy, even with the bright sun.

Two Sisters with Fabulous Shoes

You wouldn't believe from the photos how incredibly windy it was, or that after it clouded over and dumped rain on us, the sun came out not 30 minutes later while we were making our way home (anticipating a huge thunderstorm, of course).

Baby Matias

Sometimes these little ones just don't know when to cooperate. But soon he perked up and gave some really big laughs when mom gave him a tickle or two.

Resurrecting an old project: Women with Icons

Upon joining the Orthodox church, individual believers make a connection with the saints by taking on a saint's name. This saint becomes their patron saint, protecting them and interceding for them before the throne of God.

Danielle puddlestomping

Don't you wish that you could puddle stomp EVERY DAY?

Molly in the ball gown (or, hippy girl, continued)

Warm afternoon light at its best. These last shots were my favorite. You can tell Molly is loose and enjoying herself. You can feel the breeze and the smells of spring.

Molly the hippy in the mud

We started out with an authentic vintage hippy dress; one that Molly's mother had worn back in the 60s. Too awesome, right?

Little Nathan, giving bliss

A little while ago, a good friend of mine had her first (adorable) baby. Nathan loves to stick out his tongue and charm his parents. Mom knows exactly what he likes; I love the moment of bliss here....

Newborn portraits, in sepia silhouette

Little Liam has made himself quite a home. He's much loved, as you can tell.

Leap into spring with outdoor portraits! (for the Greater Boston Area)

Spring is coming; can't you feel it in the air? With the past week of sunny and warm weather, I decided to block off a few Saturdays in the next few months especially for outdoor portrait sessions in the...

Stella, an outtake

The secret? Well, I found a bunch of clothes at the thrift store the very day I were going to photograph her. The skirt and sweater I found at GoodWill, and she borrowed my boots to match. Who knew she'd happen to have a beautiful yellow coat to match? Fun!
