Working with Fiona, a tall, sharp, easy-going senior from Arlington, was a delight. Her mom suggested we check out Arlington Reservoir and I’m so glad we did!
As you can see, it made a lovely backdrop for a session with variety!
I had the great pleasure of doing a maternity shoot with Veronica a while back. Well, now the wait has ended and Maeve is here! Healthy and content and, I can tell, extremely smart.
It’s still summer, right? So this counts? Here are some shots from a few June senior grad sessions I had the pleasure of shooting. Click on the images to enlarge.
Ugo graduated from MIT:
Julia wrapped up her career at Tufts;
And Nameka ended her high school career and is heading to Clark University!
Ashley’s mom Kristen brought confetti. I mean, what more do you need than a pumped graduate-to-be and some confetti? Nothing, I say!
So much fun!
Congratulations, Ashley!
You wouldn’t know to look at these photos that it was actually really cold out when I had this session with Veronica. She was such a trooper about it and I think she’s just adorable! I can’t wait to connect with her again once Maeve joins the world on the outside!
The G family has expanded, so they gave me a call! I’m so glad they did. What a bright space and a bright family!
I’ve been photographing the Ws for a few years now and this year we decided to do something a bit different. It was cold when we scheduled their shoot (not much warmer now!), and we thought inside would be best.
I asked them to think about things they like to do together, or things the kids enjoying doing, and I came over and shot a variety of posed and posed-candids. I think it’s a fun collection!
Obviously a ridiculously delayed post, but just the same!…
My fall season is winding down and it’s been a busy one. While I love spending time with my clients which my full length sessions allow, mini sessions are a great way to fit in a lot of people, which I like because I want everyone to have some nice family photos if they want them! And fall gets so booked up that it becomes tricky to accommodate everyone. Mini sessions help me do that.
These are some of my favorites from my second mini session event which took place in early November at Menotomy Rocks Park
When Molly’s mom got in touch to schedule her daughter’s senior session, I learned that Molly was the drum major in her high school marching band, and I knew we were kindred spirits.
Photographing Molly was so easy and fun. She’s super comfortable in front of the camera, and was up for any location. We started in downtown Stoneham, then shifted over to a nearby beach.
When I asked her if she found the session tolerable she said something to the effect of “What’s not to like? I got to pose for photos for an hour or two while someone complimented me!”
Sounds good to me, too!
Louis wanted to have some portraits done and got in touch. We went back and forth for a while talking about what he’s looking for and I felt challenged because he wanted something a little different than what I typically shoot. We had a great time working in the space we found.
Here are some of my favorites!
I had an absolute blast shooting some beautiful spaces for Proverb over the last few months. I really enjoyed the challenge of shooting the spaces and the striking style was inspiring. I was taken aback by how much the environments came to life to me when either Darren, Proverb’s Managing Director and Creative Director, or Chris, Proverb’s Managing Partner and Director of Client Services, became part of an image. I shot first in some residential spaces, and then at their office in Boston.
I mean, if you’re not inspired by entering these spaces, I’m not sure what could inspire you!
How did I manage to let the entire summer go by without sharing with you? I truly have no idea. Literally, I am sitting here wondering how I didn’t show off a few of the families I met with before autumn hit (has it hit yet?).
Well, better late than never?
Here’s a small collection from a few sessions I had over the summer…

This year’s mini session event was supposed to take place at Horn Pond because the it was such a great location for Linda and MIke’s Family Session a while back. Prior to leaving for a trip recently though, I visited the pond to be sure it looked right and well, it did NOT! The water had risen so high that while it’s a beautiful place to visit and walk, I knew it wasn’t going to offer us much by way of environment to work with for mini sessions.
I drove around until it got dark that day trying to find a new spot. I decided to go with Menotomy Rocks Park and it worked great! We had beautiful weather too which certainly didn’t hurt. And it was also very nice to see everyone’s faces out from behind their masks in the fresh open air!
I’ll be doing another mini session day on November 6, so if you’d like to get in the mailing list for info, subscribe at the bottom of the homepage and I’ll make sure you get the details.

Well it was hot-as-a-griddle outside during high school graduate Angeles’ senior session on Boston Common, but you wouldn’t know that from the photos. She did an awesome job keeping a breezy manner for her shoot!
A short time ago I met up with two Boston University alums for a photo shoot for BU Today. They chose the location, which was a bridge in South Boston. They called it “Southie Bridge” but as far as I can figure, it doesn’t actually have a name. It leads to a very cool underpass with gorgeous murals, concrete walkways and lovely tree-lined trails.
I knew when I saw it that this is where I needed to meet Phebean for her senior session. Phebean arrived with a few outfit changes, ending her session proudly wearing the shirt of the school she’ll be attending in the fall - Brandeis.
We brain-stormed before meeting in person and Phebe told me about her pride for Nigeria where her family is from. It was luck that when she brought her flag out to be photographed with it, the sun came out and the skies opened up all at once!
Phebe is also an activist and has organized some BLM marches, so I we incorporated that too.
She was so much fun to work with, and didn’t bat an eye when I suggested “how about climbing over on those rocks (in your lovely non-hiking sandals)?”
