Happy Birthday, KSP!

Happy Birthday, KSP! Oh friends, I had happy tears as I started writing this post last month. I’ve had so many thoughts as I’ve put these words to (digital) paper. Now that I have a couple of rare weekends off before wedding season picks up again, I am excited to press publish and share this […]

Mary & Matt: North Shore Summer Engagement Session

Mary and Matt’s North Shore Summer Engagement session was magical. While planning their session, Mary shared that she dreamt of a unique coastal location with tall grass and a pretty view. My mind immediately went to one of my favorite picnic date spots in Essex, Massachusetts. It is a perennial favorite of Dillon and I, […]

Liz & Tim: Crane Beach Summer Engagement Session

Liz and Tim’s Crane Beach summer engagement session filled my heart right up to the brim. They exude the kind of warmth and joy that leaves you feeling so encouraged from the moment you meet them.

Montgomery Family: New Hampshire Spring Family Session

“My card is full!” I looked over at Tommy and Kaelyn mid-pose during their New Hampshire spring family session, “That has never happened before!” I added, reaching into my bag for a new memory card.

How I Started to Build My Dream

I’d been checking the forecast all morning and it had finally promised late-afternoon sun. Along the way, I stopped at Target to pick up two essentials: a foldable […]

Kayla & Brian: Crane Beach Spring Engagement Session

I am so excited to share today’s classic Crane Beach spring engagement session. Kayla and Brian are *the* epitome of a classic New England couple. He’s from the Cape, and she’s from a Connecticut town that could easily neighbor Stars Hollow. He proposed at Brant Point, an iconic Nantucket Lighthouse (Dillon and I celebrated our […]

Hilary & Matt: Boston Public Garden Winter Engagement Session

It was a quiet February afternoon on the day of Hilary and Matt’s Public Garden winter engagement session. I had just parked and was walking through Copley when a few snowflakes landed on my lashes.

Our Christmas Traditions

I absolutely love holidays, traditions, and celebrating the best parts of each season. A couple of years ago, my team lovingly gave me the nickname “the walking holiday” because of my deeply rooted enthusiasm and eagerness for celebration. Christmas is the culmination of festivity. It’s a fun and joyful way to wrap up a year […]
