Oh Henry (oops, I had to do it). This tiny little peanut was so good for me for his session, and his parents were as sweet as can be, I was so happy that I got to fit them in last minute before heading out on vacation! I just love these little humans, have I said that before? I have, haven’t I. Well, it’s true.
Everyone, meet sweet baby Henry.

It’s nice to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, and that’s exactly what I did a couple weeks ago with Jennifer and Luke, 2 East Coasters now living in the arctic lands of Nunavut, who decided to come home and get married where it all started, in Charlotte County. We met at Green’s Point Lighthouse in Back Bay and for this field-and-forest-girl, shooting on the coast was a little tricky but I really enjoyed all the gorgeous views and these 2 made it quite easy for me, their quirky style and obvious love for each other was really fun to capture and I can’t wait to do it again…TOMORROW!
A couple weeks ago my photography clique/group/colleagues/network/gang/pack/tribe/whatever we want to call ourselves got together for a ‘field trip’ of sorts, a chance to get out as a group and learn from each other. This particular evening we were led by Shannon-May, an amazing wedding and portrait photographer, to see how she approaches photographing a couple. We all shot a bit but she mostly led the way and it was great to learn a few tips from her on adding more movement and fun into the session, something I struggle with (being the broody chick that I am sometimes).
We were also lucky enough to photograph another great local photographer, Jeremy, and his wife Kara. Now, I LOOOOVE photographing married couples so this was an extra bonus treat, and they were wonderfully, well, married together (I swear there’s a difference, even if it’s only in my head.) Funnily enough the shots that I ended up loving the most were the most static ones, but I did stretch my creative muscles a bit, and was thankful for colleagues who will push me and help me grow.

Another sweet darling in the studio, another baby to cuddle, another chance to be creative, another opportunity to watch a family be born…another opportunity to feel really blessed to be doing this for my job.
Everyone, meet sweet baby Emma
In a crazy ‘here’s a way to make your feel old’ moment, my former babysitter’s mom (who also owns the daycare that my babies-now-turned-big-kids went to years ago) messaged me last month to have her daughter Lara’s grad photos done, which I couldn’t believe because wasn’t she a 14-year old babysitter like 5 minutes ago?!
Anyway, she wanted some photos done with her *stunning* prom dress and then some regular, casual portraits to remember this time and age, so I made the poor thing walk up a steep trail behind my house to get to some beautiful, new-to-me countryside. I just loved photographing her but even more, I loved chatting with her about what’s next…it’s such a special time in life and I know that she’s going to do great no matter what she does. Girls gon’ rule the world.
(Oh, and also doesn’t she remind you of Sansa Stark a little bit! Tall and red-headed and so, so gorgeous.)
(Oh oh, also, I love photographing grads so please get in touch next year, seniors!)
