I have never been one of the sad moms, tearfully putting their children on the bus for the first day of school and eagerly anticipating their arrival home. In our house it’s always been a little more “here’s a waffle, where’s your backpack, did you brush your teeth, my GOD what is that gunk on […]

Blam The standard blasty noise. The power of the blam can sometimes be measured by the size of the word when it is written, or by the number of exclamation marks at the end of the word. Blam! – Standard BLAM!! – Larger, more fantastic (also: the initials of this super cool family) Bruce and […]

Katie’s mom Holly and I were really good friends in high school. For the first 20 minutes of Katie’s Senior shoot, Holly and I kept cracking each other up with stories about clove cigarettes, parachute pants, and the consistently horrible perms we thought were so fly back then. WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL US? Katie, fortunately, […]

A little while ago I posted Ross and Jenna’s engagement shoot and told you all about their happy family. Their backyard wedding on the Cape was truly one of the nicest, laid-back, friendly affairs I have had the privilege to shoot. When we arrived, the sky was threatening, but no one really seemed concerned including […]

I’ve been photographing Aubrey since she was only a few months old. When she was a little girl, she had a head full of blonde curls and the bluest of blue eyes (in a family where dark eyes seem to reign supreme, she broke the mold!). The curls may be gone, but those blue eyes […]

I always ask my senior photo clients if there’s anything personal they want to incorporate into their shoot: a lacrosse stick, a guitar, a special piece of jewelry… Sarah’s answer was “books.” I’m sure you can imagine how happy that made me. Sarah is a girl with many talents. She writes and curates for the […]

I wanted to post the photos from Ann and Keith’s wedding on the same day that I revealed my new website and blog, which I have been working on FOREVER, but despite my best efforts (which means staying up past 10:30 a few times) I have not been able to wrangle that bad larry to […]

This is Amelia. When her dad called me to set up her shoot, the first thing he told me was that Amelia was “pretty special.” How true that is; by the time you read this, Amelia will be on her way for basic training at the United States Naval Academy where she will be starting […]

Hasn’t this been an amazing week? I’m feeling pretty waterlogged from all of the pool and beach time, but I’m not complaining. I promised Calder that this, the week after school ended, would be the week that I put work on the back burner and hung out with him, and we’ve really had a great […]

I’m not always a big fan of birthdays — most years on my day I wake up, groan, and hide back under the covers. Unless there’s cake, in which case I will drag myself out of bed and eat it all, but truthfully, for the past few years there hasn’t been any cake, only numbers […]
