Boston Pet Photographer ~ Spring Session at Paul Revere Park Boston

Sunday, April 19, 2026

Ahhh, Sweet Spring popping into full bloom in Boston and beyond. Is there anything better after (barely) surviving another New England winter? Since it’s Peak Daffodil Season, we decided to head into Paul Revere Park for this recent session with my photo bestie Darlene of Pant the Town Photography and her adorable four year old husky Halo.

I’ve always loved this spot because it offers so many views of iconic Boston – the Zakim Bridge, the Gah-den (said with proper Beantown accent, please) and the Converse building. I’m obsessed with all the urban architecture and lines throughout the whole area. And, for the first time ever (!!!), we ventured over the North Bank Pedestrian Bridge over to North Point Park which was another dream spot with the Duck Boats plunging into the Charles River and view of the Prudential in the fog. Bonus was a gorgeous magnolia tree coming into bloom too. Spring symbolizes new beginnings so it was also the perfect time and place to capture the unconditional love and connection of this bonded duo together too.

Here are few sneak peeks from the story of their big day out together in the city!

Thinking of booking a session with your four legged soul mate/s?! There’s still time to get on the KLP Calendar for an April or May date and catch all the gorgeous blooms and backdrops! And, the milder Spring temps are always more suitable for sessions with dogs than the Summer months which are now generally too hot for them to be safe and comfortable. Give the studio a call for more information @ 617.875.7339.

A note from Darlene’s newsletter post her session is an important reminder for us all:

“Yesterday Halo and I had photos taken together and it reminded me of something I tell my clients all the time … There is never a “perfect” or “right” time. There is just now – and it matters. Don’t wait. Do the photos.”

She’s spot on. So, like so many of my own clients who dread being in front of the camera, I’m currently preparing this weekend for my session with my dog Liesl booked for this Tuesday with Darlene! Stay tuned … 😉

Boston Newborn Photographer ~ In Home Session with Baby Julian Sneak Peeks

Friday, April 17, 2026

Brace yourself because it doesn’t get any cuter than sweet little 13 day old Julian (with his full head of blonde hair?!) being snuggled, fed, changed and deeply loved by his new parents. These sessions are all about documenting these quiet (and sometimes hilarious) moments comfortably at home. Not only is he the best little baby so content and chill, we didn’t have one pee or poop mishap in the almost four hours either (it’s usually Dads for some reason who get hit with that!) 😉 We even lucked out with usually shy Charlie the cat not going into hiding but hanging out with us the entire time and getting in a few shots for a couple family portraits too.

Here are a few sneak peeks from all the love and connections we captured. Welcome to this crazy world, Julian!

Tips for Your On Campus College Graduation Photo Sessions

Wednesday, April 8, 2026

KLP College Graduation Sessions are the perfect way to celebrate and document this monumental milestone in your life. Thinking of a booking a session? Here are a few tips to consider for prep and session type.

On Campus Sessions are booked for the week or two before (or if needed a couple days after) your Graduation Ceremony. We want to move freely around a location at a relaxed pace without thousands of others vying for those same must have spots. Your Graduation day is going to be a whirlwind so it’s better to enjoy it fully on its own.

Pre Booking Tips: You’ll want to be sure that you have your cap and gown in time for your photo shoot. A bottle of bubbles (I recommend splashing out on a good one if you can!) is always fun for that iconic shake and spray shot. If you played sports or participated in any collegiate clubs, consider incorporating those elements in as well.

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.” ~ Mark Twain

Think about how you want to commemorate this moment and who you want to be included. Graduates usually choose one of the three options:

SOLO – Just you and your cap and gown at special spots on your campus

WITH FRIENDS – This can be either several other of your friends who are also graduating and/or some of your BFFs who are there to support and celebrate you (or both!)

WITH FAMILY – (and your dog/s if logistics and location allow!)

“You cannot dream of becoming something you do not know about. You have to learn to dream big. Education exposes you to what the world has to offer, to the possibilities open to you.” ~ Sonia Sotomayor

Boston Photographer ~ No Kings 3.0 Boston Common Rally March 2026

Wednesday, April 1, 2026

The birthplace of the revolution never disappoints. Over 180K people gathered in solidarity on the Boston Common last Saturday 3/28/26 for the No Kings 3.0 Protest. And if we didn’t have crumbling infrastructure in this failing country, thousands more from the North Shore who were disenfranchised due to lack of trains into the city would have been there too. But I digress.

The city was abuzz with resistance and attending these mass protests is not only imperative in the fight to save our democracy, it’s also good for the soul. Being surrounded by like minded people who give a shit matters.

This was my third No Kings (1.0 in Seattle and 2.0 last fall in Boston) and they are always so well planned and organized. I landed down front pretty quickly and usually only stay there for a bit before exploring more angles photographically but I decided to stay put for this one to not only hear and photograph the speakers (nothing better than a fired up Elizabeth Warren!) but also to see the Dropkick Murphys perform too. Their song “First Class Loser” was the perfect anthem for the day rebuking everything DJT but the highlight was singing along with the lyrical change from their iconic “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” to “Shipping ICE outta Boston” at the finale.

Here are few highlights from the day. If you’re looking to get more involved, find an Indivisibles chapter near you HERE.

I also want to give a shout out to my dedicated local resisters at Hands Off Beverly here too. I was only able to drive through on Saturday morning just after 11AM on my way into town and it was already bumping. I’ve heard estimates of over 2K. If you’ve never protested, this is a great place to start on the North Shore. They are every Saturday 11AM to 12PM at Odell Park (in front of the post office on Rantoul) and Wednesdays 5:30PM to 6:30PM in front of the First Parish Church 225 Cabot St., Beverly MA.

Newburyport Lighthouse Wedding Proposal ~ Sam & Maggie Sneak Peeks

Sunday, March 1, 2026

Friday night was an extra special night for Sam and Maggie who got engaged at the Newburyport Lighthouse. This is *THE* most magical place in New England to propose and we had a stunner of an evening to capture it all.

We timed it perfectly with the sunset from Sam popping the question and then me heading up into the lighthouse (which is always fun with the light and reflections) to then hitting the waterfront boardwalk as the blue hour set in and we wrapped. Added bonus: Sam had his parents and Maggie’s Mom hiding at the bottom with their dog Bastion as another surprise. Here are few sneak peeks from their beautiful engagement story.

Note: when you book an evening spot at the lighthouse you get it for five hours so there is plenty of time for a shoot and to have the place to yourself to enjoy dinner and the stunning views.
