Boston Photographer ~ Fall Family Portrait Sneak Peeks at Lynch Park

Sunday, October 6, 2024

We had a gorgeous early evening at Lynch Park for this recent Fall Family Session. It was a bit of a slow start as Ms. Hazel wasn’t in the mood for a photo shoot at first. She initially only wanted three things: her binky, Ted (her stuffed teddy bear) and her Mom. But, with a little patience and time, she warmed right up looking for whales off shore and crabs in the rocky tide pools.

I always factor in more than the scheduled time for sessions so we never feel rushed as we chase the sweet spot of the perfect light of each day. I also feel it’s equally important to capture those challenging moments with children too. That’s real life and the goal is to tell the authentic story not just the polished Christmas card photo one. I’m certain, as always, Mom + Dad will be pleasantly surprised how perfectly we’ve captured their story at this moment in time. Here are few sneak peeks to tide them over before their entire story is revealed at their Viewing + Design Session.

This Fall is off to a fantastic start so if you’re looking for some optimal autumnal portraits – Family, Seniors, Pets or a combo of all three – give us a ring for a complimentary consult @ 617.875.7339.

A peek too at the Peak Fall Foliage Map from Yankee Magazine. This map is the 10/31 prediction which means now until early November will be prime season.

Newburyport Photographer ~ Ruby Class of 2025 at Sandy Point Reservation

Saturday, September 21, 2024

It was the Summer of Sandy Point for most of this year’s Class of 2025 Senior Portraits. Catching up on a bit of blogging with a few highlights from our stellar session mid August with sweet Ruby and her Mom. The very first photograph we captured and one here of her sitting on the large rock by the water’s edge ended up being one of their top faves and we’ve got a 16×24 Giclée Canvas in the works for their home.

As the Summer of 2024 comes to an official close this weekend, we are now looking forward to all of our upcoming Fall Senior, Family and Pet Sessions (or any combo of all three!) as the temps cool off a bit and the goldenrods come into full bloom. An added bonus this year for our Newburyport High School Seniors is the new late Fall yearbook submission deadline date of November 22nd.

Another bonus: I’ve included a photograph at the end of this blog from our drive home from the shoot that night on the Parker River Refuge. I always say I have the best commute in the world. I don’t usually stop anymore to capture the sunset but this night it was really just so special that I had no choice. It’s also in the works at my lab as a Metal Print for our annual Amesbury Open Studios the weekend of November 8th -10th so you can stop by for some bubbles and see it in person then too. #savethedate

Newburyport Photographers ~ Lucy at Sandy Point NHS Class of 2025

Monday, August 26, 2024

Our On Location Outdoor Portrait Sessions are always an adventure. You never know what Nature has in store whether it’s annoying biting flies or a passing shower that delivers a gorgeous rainbow (both of these checked off this Summer!) On this recent shoot with Lucy from Newburyport High School out at Sandy Point we had an incoming tide and I sent her out on some large rocks so we could catch the small waves coming in around her. And then a rogue wave struck out of nowhere! We both got pretty soaked. Thankfully we were at the end of her first outfit and her long red hair looked stunning wet in the back at first and then quickly dried as we continued on to outfits number two and three. All of this including the hazy sun from Northern wild fires as the sunset made this shoot one of my favorites of the season.

Newburyport Senior Photographer ~ Ava Class of 2025 at Sandy Point

Sunday, August 4, 2024

Is it worth the drive out to Sandy Point (two hour R/T for me!) multiple times a week for KLP On Location Portrait Sessions? Always. And this year in particular has been one of my favorite seasons out there. It’s truly one of the most magical places on the planet. Here are a few highlights from our recent shoot with Ava from Newburyport High. We’ve got some Maple Wood and Giclée Canvases in the works and I can’t wait to see them in print and on their walls. Every session is a new adventure. Stay tuned for many more as the Class of 2025 Season continues …

Newburyport Photographer ~ Ruby from Amesbury High at Sandy Point

Sunday, July 28, 2024

Our first Senior Session out at Sandy Point from the Class of 2025 with Ruby and her Mom was perfection. Not only had my favorite wishbone-like piece of driftwood washed back up on the beach (it wasn’t there in April!), there’s a couple new fun pieces this year too. Combine those with the stunning light, the purple sand and flowers and Ruby’s radiance in front the camera and we had everything we needed to beautifully tell her story. Here are just a few highlights while their new album is in the works.
