Sam + Rose’s B’nai Mitzvah at the New England Aquarium

Sam + Rose are two sweet, smart, goofy, engaging and all around wonderful people! We met on Thursday for their B’nai Mitzvah rehearsal and spent some quite time shooting with just the family. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know their unique and truly lovable personalities. Then, on to the celebration Saturday evening at the New England Aquarium. What a perfect spot for a Mitzvah! And the rare (but much welcome) Spring weather made it perfect for an evening in their waterfront tent. Enjoy your slide show Sam and Rose. And call me for the weddings!!!!

Maddy’s Bat Mitzvah

Maddy and I met three years ago when I shot her brother’s Bar Mitzvah. I remember her as a sweet, fun and energetic little girl. Today, she is a vivacious, smart young woman. What a difference three years make! She celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge. The party was a dance theme (one of Maddy’s favorite pastimes) and the ballroom was covered in pink! Family photos were even more special set against the backdrop of the Boston city skyline. What a great evening!

My Weekend with the Shems

I’ve been looking forward to Leah’s Bat Mitzvah for over a year! I had worked with the Shems at their son Matthew’s Bar Mitzvah three years earlier and it was so much fun. I knew this one would be a blast! And despite Nemo working hard to make a mess of things, Leah’s Bat Mitzvah was a fun as promised…one day later. Leah’s Bat Mitzvah was scheduled for Saturday, February 9. Anyone near New England (or with a TV, computer or radio) knows that was exactly when Blizzard Nemo dumped several feel of snow on the Northeast. Knowing the storm was approaching, I was in contact with Leah’s mom Alicia on Friday. I was most worried about driving conditions that wouldn’t allow me to get to them. Alicia, quite off the cuff said, “Do you want to stay here Friday?” “Oh no, that’s not necessary,” was my first thought. But as the reports started getting more drastic, and a travel ban was looming, the panic set it. I thought, “There is no way I’m missing this Bat Mitzvah.” Next thing you know, I’m packing a bag and heading to the Shems’ house for a sleepover. But Nikki! Didn’t […]

Twice the fun!

It’s official! I really am in love with these two beautiful girls! It’s true, twins are twice the work, but they’re also twice the fun! And these two beauties had lovely dispositions. We had a great time taking some photos where they are the most comfortable…in their own home. All these photos were taken in on the bed in their guest room where we found some beautiful window light. The afternoon window light made their skin soft and their eyes pop. With all that fun, the twin girls were ready for a nap by the time I left. I love the last photo of the entire family tuckered out and happy. What a great day!

Best of 2012!

What a year it has been! As I reflect on the past year, I see how lucky I’ve been to have worked with such lovely and unique people. My job has taken me to beautiful locations and has introduced me to some truly wonderful people. I’ve had such a difficult time choosing my favorite images of 2012…which you’ll see…as there are many! I’ve had the opportunity to witness and capture some really special and one of a kind moments. I’m so pleased to be able to share some of my favorites. The engagement session can be an important part of my job. And certainly one of the most fun! It’s my first opportunity to really spend some time with my clients. I learn about their relationships, personalities and styles. And my clients learn what it’s like to be photographed. I always ask my clients to choose a location that is special to them and speaks to their relationship. So I find myself in some interesting spots from local bars and city streets to hiking trails and farms. Here are some of my favorite from this year… The wedding day is a wild and exciting day. By far, […]

Thank Heavens for Little Girls!

The holiday season is here. And like many other photographers, I am locked away in my office editing my fingers to the bone to meet holiday deadlines. Before my eyes cross, it’s time for a break! I thought I’d share a shoot done this fall with two of the cutest girls I’ve worked with! There is something great about shooting little girls. They’re confident, fun and full of energy! We had a blast playing in the park!

Julia’s Girlie, Frilly, Fabulous Infant Shoot!

This shoot was so much fun! Even if you’re not a “girly girl” you have to admit Julia’s infant photos are fabulous! All those ruffles and bows!!!! I can’t stand it! We took these lovely images in the comfort of Julia’s own home with the aid of some perfect window light and simple blankets. For much of the shoot, Julia’s mom (draped in blanket) was the actual backdrop. It put the sleeping baby completely at ease. I hope you enjoy this girlie indulgence!

A Fun & Funky Family Portrait

OK, I may be a bit biased, but this may be the most beautiful boy I’ve ever photographed! This is my darling nephew Tate. I was lucky enough to sneak in a family portrait session with him during a family visit. It was a blast for many reasons! First, I had obviously already developed a relationship with my subjects. That always makes a family portrait session easier. But, Tate’s mom also has fun and funky taste (OK, his dad’s not so bad either). So we were able to play with some backdrops that were super cool! I’m so happy to introduce you to some of my family! Everyone, meet my nephew Tate, my sister-in-law Leigh Ann and my brother David.

Ryker, Photos of A Brave and Beautiful Baby at Children’s Hospital

Weeks ago, I was contact by a woman in Utah who was looking for a Boston photographer to donate a portrait session for some friends who had relocated to bring their baby boy to Children’s Hospital. Ryker is now just over four months old and has already had four major heart surgeries. Although it is incredibly long, I feel it’s important to spell out Rykers full diagnosis to show just what this amazing baby has been through. His specific medical diagnosis is… Heterotaxy RAI (right atrial isomerism) with Asplenia, Right Dominant AtrioVentrical Canal (AVC), Total Anomalous Pulmonary Vein Return (TAPVR), Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), Left-Sided Pulmonary Vein Stinosis (PVS), & Ventricular Discordance. He also has Heart Block, therefore he has an internal PaceMaker. So Jay and Rachel Warner uprooted their family and brought Ryker to Children’s Hospital. Before Ryker goes in for his fifth major heart surgery, Rachel (a true photo buff) wanted to have a family portrait taken. I was honored to lend my skills. Luckily, Children’s Hospital has a lovely courtyard that we were able to utilize for the portraits. It was Ryker’s first time outdoors ever. You should have seen him looking around! I […]
