I love working with Johnson. It's a nice change of pace and being around such craftsmanship is always so interesting and inspiring to me!

First of all, can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate Caitryn's totally cool name?
Thank you.
Now that we have that out of the way, I met with Cait, who will be a high school senior in the fall (woot!) and her mom in Salem for her session. The light was beautiful and while there were lots of people in the city that evening, we didn't much care. There was no shortage of lovely spots to photograph Cait in.
Here are some of my favorites.
Now that Brayden is two, his parents Kristin and Benjamin touched base for a quick session. Such beautiful weather to capture a beautiful family in.
I was flattered and excited to be asked to photograph the first child of my coworker Andy and his wife Elizabeth. I learned of Cora's arrival well before arrival time, so I had a lot of waiting and looking-forward to do.
When it finally came time for the spotlight, Cora was skeptical of me I think, but in the end, we did just fine. I love her sweet, thoughtful little face!
These little snuggle bunnies have grown a lot in the past year. I was excited when their mom got in touch for a one year session. Photographing them (as is always the case with any human between the age of one and four), is like trying to keep cats in a wheel barrow.
I've actually never tried to put cats in a wheel barrow, but I imagine it's an interesting challenge, as is photographing humans between the ages of one and four. They were fun and squirrely and curious and busy in all the best ways.
Lisa and I had to reschedule their first family session when the weather decided to not cooperate (Thanks a lot New England!). Second time was a charm though and we had beautiful weather to romp through the Fells with Lisa, her husband and their cuties!
It's been a busy month for me and I really love that; love taking pictures, love that people want me taking their picture. All good things!
Emily and Joe hired me to shoot their wedding a few years back and I was very excited to hear from Emily's mom, asking me to photograph her new grandson Alexander!
Take Ellen and Kyle, two lovely and loving people, their new little man Greyson, (plus a sweet rescue dog) and combine them with perfect light and super interiors, and you've got a session every photographer hopes for!
Kristin, her husband Will and their four legged Cocoa met me at the wonderful Wright's Pond for a session. Unfortunately, they brought their really difficult and ugly kids Hanley and Davis (insert sarcasm font here). At the risk of sounding like a sixteen year old, they were adorbs!
This year's fall mini sessions were again a big success! Cold air didn't stop my clients form bringing their A-game and Salem Willows made for another lovely backdrop.
Babies babies! They're the best, and little Miss Lily is no different. What a sweet little peanut. Her session was made even more fun by her two big brothers; one with a curly top and one with curly fur everything!
I've been photographing Sandi, her husband Brian, and their kids for years and years and oh-my-gosh-look-how-little!, and I always enjoy seeing them. This year we met at Salem Willows Park (the site of this year's Fall Session Day).
One extra nice thing about Sandi is that she always reminds me and encourages me to shoot candid when I'm with her family. Sometimes I get so into portrait mode that I forget the strength that comes from being a fly on the wall, and the fact that I love shooting that way!
I love hearing from Ryan. She, her husband and three little ones are fun and kind and whenever I hear from her it means her family is growing. This time, Theo's arrived!
