Michelle & Patrick met on an ambulance. They were both working the same shift and talked for 16 hours straight. That’s a heck of a first date! It was an absolute honor to be the only guest at their Newburyport Massachusetts Wedding (other than their adorable son). What do you like to do for fun? Hike, Garden, Look …
After nearly a year of emailing back and forth, I was more than a little excited to finally meet Marie & Edgar for their Newburyport Engagement Session. This couple is amazing. They’ve been together for 16 years, have 2 beautiful children, and they’re finally able to make the wedding of their dreams happen. Just wait …
You might remember this little charmer from his Newborn Session – his sweet snuggliness has only become more snuggly and he’s basically mastered his flirty smile at a very early age. We got together for his 6-month photos and then an epic Massachusetts Cake Smash! He’s quite proud of his sitting up abilities. But he’s easily distracted …
Meredith & Jon contacted me about their Intimate Newburyport Fall Wedding, and I was happy to be of service. The plans of Maudslay State Park for the first-look, Inn Street Playground where they first met for some family photos, Newburyport Town Hall for the ceremony and Nixs (RIP) for a stunning celebratory dinner & live music …
You may recognize the tinier of these two beauties from Teddy & Tabby’s Intimate Wedding at Great Island Common.

The very first time I talked to this family was in September 2008. It’s crazy to me to think that it’s been so much time since I started this crazy adventure I now call my job. Just look how much they’ve changed – yet not changed – in 6 years. This year their grandmother came …
Facebook is astounding. And this post is verbose – but it’s a fun story & the photos are adorable, so stick with me. As a kid, I lived in Reading, MA. I walked to the corner store, rode my bike to the library, ice skated at the town field, and walked to school (uphill, …
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.” [Notebook, Oct. 10, 1842]” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The American Notebooks Well said Mr. Hawthorne, well said! There’s a different kind of magic in the fall sunset. The angle to the earth and all that scientific mumbo jumbo I suppose, …
August was full of amazing shoots! I met up with Meghan & Leo and 6 month old Jack for their 3rd installment of baby’s first year. He’s so full of personality – and those PANTS! I can’t GET OVER THEM!! This picture of Meghan & Jack melts my hart. Those cheeks & those eyes!! …
Angie & Russ are the best. After their Salisbury Beach Engagement Photos in early spring, I knew that their wedding would be top notch sassy awesomeness. And it SO was. The girls all got ready at Angie’s mum’s house. The colors were phenomenal (in both the flowers & the tattoos!) Angie looked STUNNING. Her eyes and …
