soooo are we a good fit? 🫶🏼 if so, I still have some fall + holiday minis left (link in bio) and if you’re looking for an in home or studio session (great for families, not just newborns!) I am currently booking into the new year. Can’t wait to hear from you! 🥰

Warm golden light is my favorite color 🙌🏼 I wish I could bottle it up and give it to every family for their session, but I haven’t figured out how to control the weather yet 🙃 I do however play meteorologist and this time of year I am extra flexible and on top of it. It’s busy season and also crazy weather season. I messaged this family the day before their session to discuss the impending rain and they were flexible as could be and met me THAT night on the beach! We practically had the beach to ourselves with the dreamiest golden light, mid tide (my fav) and also found out we are practically neighbors! Everything aligned perfectly and I will be gushing over these tones until further notice.

A very special family at a very special place ❤️

Love this crew! I had to go back in the archives to see how many sessions we’ve had and my heart was so full. They book me every year, the same week, and it’s always a stunner of a sunset. I hope everyone’s having a relaxing LDW, soaking in those last beach days with cooler temps!

Happy Friday everyone! Here’s a visual reminder that studio family sessions are not just for newborns or the winter months. At the end of this session, it was like music to my ears to hear mom say “that was so easy!”

Yes, we live in an absolutely beautiful area. Yes, our outdoor season is limited for outside photos. BUT the studio is a great option for all. Temperature controlled, no bugs, not weather dependent, a contained space for little ones that love to run off (yet enough space to be fun and silly!) and nothing overstimulating (think wind, sand, bugs, crowds) just my beautiful white canvas studio which allows you to wear what you want, have fun and not worry about rain dates, cleaning your home or having to wash off sandy feet or smelly bug spray (iykyk)

OH and we have music 🎶

I’ve been reflecting this rainy morning on how amazing of a summer we have had in New England. I think I’ve only rescheduled 2 sessions due to rain. Despite the heat waves, we have had quite the beautiful summer. Tomorrow is certainly not the end of summer, but for many it’s back to school, the sun is setting earlier, and it’s getting a little cooler outside. I’m so ready for fall sessions, but September is very much a beach month for me (12 to be exact!) and I’ll be back at this stunning location for more minis (with one spot left! 😉) here’s to the last few official weeks of summer and hopefully just as beautiful of a fall season!

I’ll never say no to a location request at Lynch Park! The second we arrived at the rose garden, this little lady booked it for a view of the ocean. Lucky for her, we got to experience both! Watching her explore the grounds and ooh and ahh at all the different flowers was so magical! We even had time to end our session on the beach where she was all about tossing rocks and shells into the ocean and splashing in the water. I always follow kids lead, especially when the session falls on their birthday 🎂

someone really wise reminded me before this session “what if it will be ok no matter what?” I couldn’t really wrap my brain around that because I’m such a type A person when it comes to my work. I need to know it will go perfectly. I need to be prepared and I like to have lots of experience where I’m taking photos. How boring 🤪 and yet I call myself a creative. Last night I let go and let life happen and I have no words. No words, but lots of photos that tell the story and a sun setting into the ocean that took our breath away ☀️

thank you Kristine Stark for adventuring with me this summer! Who’s next?! 🤭

It’s that time of year where I become a part time meteorologist 🤪 I can’t believe how beautiful this night turned out when just 24 hours earlier to the session it was predicted to rain. I am so thankful for flexible clients that trust my judgement. I know it’s no easy feat to get ready, get your family ready and mentally prepare for photos that get rained out. Or worse! The weather predicts rain but then the sun pops out. Soon enough those lush green dunes will turn yellow and there will be pops of foliage on the beach … but not yet! It’s still summer ☀️ I’ll be ocean side all week long soaking in that salt air, warm breeze and lush greens (and yes this is me manifesting NO rain until at least Friday!)
