Newburyport Newborn and Family Photographer ~ Sneak Peeks from an In Home Session with Baby Piper

Sunday, December 21, 2025

There’s something especially meaningful about photographing a family in the place where their real life happens. This recent In-Home Newborn Session was a perfect example of that as this family welcomed in their adorable newest addition. There is of course no wrong time to photograph your new baby but if I had to pick the sweet spot I recommend two months – babies not only fill in a bit as they quickly grow but also have more connection with the world around them too.

We always block off three hours for these sessions so that we can take it slow and have plenty of time for diaper changes, baby feedings and snack time for older siblings. As you can see here, three year old big brother Otto absolutely crushed it. And two month old Piper was truly the dream baby who was happy just chilling on her own whether on the floor in a soft blanket or the crib in her nursery. Here are just a few sneak peeks to tide them all over until their Viewing + Design Session in the new year when the studio reopens. Happy Holidays Y’all! x

Plum Island Wedding Proposal ~ Aaron and Michelle Sneak Peeks

Sunday, October 26, 2025

It was a beautiful late October night for Aaron’s wedding proposal to Michelle on Plum Island. We had it all – bright sun to start and then a dramatic gorgeous cloud cover slowly rolled in as the sun set. Seagulls magically flew all around them when they popped their celebratory bubbles along the water’s edge. We couldn’t have scripted a more perfect setting. Here are just a few sneak peeks to tide them over until their Viewing + Design Session (with more bubbles!) at the studio soon.

No Kings 2.0 Protest ~ Boston Common, MA

Sunday, October 19, 2025

I marched in the first No Kings Protest back in June of this year in Seattle with over 70K people. Yesterday’s 2.0 protest on the Boston Common drew more than 100K to continue the fight pushing back against the current administration’s fascist takeover of the United States government. Fighting daily for our democracy and what’s right is overwhelming and exhausting. But there is always something special about joining a massive protest with other caring and like-minded citizens – the energy is invigorating.

I spent most of the rally down in the front listening to the music and speakers including Boston Mayor Michelle Wu who had to contend with yelling counter protesters during her speech and as always rose to the occasion. The last half hour I left the front and headed back into the crowd for a more overall look at the massive turnout. As the event wound down the signs began to pop up all over the Common and Public Garden which is one of my favorite post-protest sights. Here are a few highlights from my day.

Walter + Dana ~ Fall Wedding Day Sneak Peeks

Sunday, September 28, 2025

Some love stories are written in the stars. 💞

Walter and Dana first met as teenagers when she was working at a tanning salon with Walter’s younger sister. He was immediately smitten and gearing up to ask her out when she introduced him to her boyfriend. Fast forward decades later while they continued to remain friends over the years, they eventually found themselves single again and spending lots to time together. Finally, on a fated night back in 2020 at front row seats to see Hamilton, the stars aligned and their lifelong friendship took the long awaited turn to romance.

Their September Wedding and Reception at The Barn at Bradstreet Farm was a dream. From hanging in each of the bridal and groom suites capturing celebratory toasts and their first look by the pond to the magical ceremony under a leaf covered pergola and the reception that followed, it was perfection from beginning to end.

Congratulations Walter + Dana! Glad you stalked and bribed me with bubbles to come out of shooting big weddings retirement (#iykyk 😉.) It was an honor to be the one to capture and tell the story of your love and day. I’m now officially re-retired from big weddings and delighted to go out on such a high note. (Seriously. No amount of Veuve Cliquot can sway me …) x

Newburyport Senior and Family Photographer ~ Dante at Sandy Point

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

Two years ago I was out at Sandy Point with older sister Simone who was a rising Senior in NBPT’s Class of 2024. This summer was younger brother Dante’s turn and his session was booked as a hybrid Senior/Family – which can be an ideal option for Senior Boys who often aren’t as into a full photo shoot as the Senior Girls. This one was extra special too because it’s also Mom and Dad’s 20th Anniversary this year so this was ultimately a celebration of several meaningful milestones for their family.

Here are just a few highlights from the collection while their new Signature Album and Canvas Wall Art (can you guess which one here?!) are in the works!
