On August 7, 2026, Boston experienced extremely high and oppressive humidity. As the afternoon temperatures climbed into the 90s, this combination of heat and moisture triggered a National Weather Service Heat Advisory, pushing the heat index to between 95°F and 100°F.

Even my southern Italian DNA was put to the test. We were quite literally in an outdoor steam bath. This was the hottest high school senior portrait session and I don't think another one will top it.

But, LOOK AT THIS GIRL.
Belly did not complain once. About anything. Ever. Not about standing IN the sunflowers. Not about the bees around her head.

She didn't question the directions I gave her when I said, 'Let's do a fun skip and frolic!" She did it like she had done it 100 times before.

These are some of the highlight portraits that will grace her print collection.

What an absolute dream she is. With her positive outlook and content disposition, the suflowers were taking note on how to exist beautifully in the hot summer sun.

Can a simple one hour Mini Headshot experience bring you tears of joy? Yes, yes it can. Lisa Hart Grisolia Donna Burke

Donna was broke joyful after she saw talented results of Lisa’s hair and make up. Donna also chose fabulous solid colors and pieces from the suggestions in the Getting Ready Guide I sent her.

We’re already brainstorming for her 2027 Beauty & Bo***ir session!

I first photographed Cooper when he was 10 days old. And countless other times since. I truly love these milestones when I get to watch these kids grow up and be young adults.
I also love creating these dramatic images well after the sun has set.
You would think he swung at an actual ball but that's him just going for it as he wants to knock one out of the park!
Here are a handful he chose for his album.

Elizabeth offers the nutrition and wellness services. She wanted headshots that not only captured the clinical, yet approachable side of her, but the nutrition and wellness side as well. Between my garden and studio, I think we got the job done. 🌱🙂
