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!

Newburyport Senior Photographer ~ Lainey at Plum Island Point

Tuesday, August 5, 2025

Plum Island Point is a dream for portrait photography. Since our Senior Portrait Sessions are booked for 1.5 hours (and often go over!), an ideal location for these shoots has two things: 1) shade areas to shoot initially if a bright sunny day and 2) loads of different backdrops as we move around the space. PI Point has endless options of both. And for Seniors in the NPBT area, it’s particularly special because this is home. Capturing their stories here whether solo or with the family and/or pups and then bringing them to life (our Signature Albums are the best!) is the best part. I remind clients to try to think about how meaningful having this record of this time in their lives will be – to be enjoyed now and ultimately gaining value over the years.

Here are a few highlights from rising senior Lainey’s recent shoot. Her Dad and sister came down to meet us half way through the session with pups Tilly + Charlie so we could capture them all together too. In addition to a beautiful Signature Powder Blue Leather Album in the works, we’ve also got a new 16×24 Canvas of the family with the pups (seen here) in production too. Fun fact: I get as excited as clients do to see these images and stories brought to life! #printyourphotos #familyheirlooms
