first met Nishat a few years ago when I was at the very early beginnings of my photo journey­. Nishat is an educator, YouTuber and Instagramer. We’ve worked together on a few different creative projects over the years — most of which included donuts because who doesn’t love donuts. How lucky am I to know this girl and on top of it,

BUGS. I never seem to remember that bugs can be a problem at the beach. In my mind, bugs only live in the woods or on a farm. But despite this wishful thinking, last Friday night the flies (or were they gnats?) were out in Gloucester, but Andrea and Michael fended them off and we had the dreamiest beach

I first met Paige a few years back, right when I had just quit my job in television production and was giving freelance photography a whirl. It was during a time I now fondly call "Portrait Bootcamp" when I shot an absurd number of mini portrait sessions in the fall-- 75 sessions over six weeks, to be exact.

Sarah and I first began emailing at the end of last fall about a simple idea-- snowy engagement photos. We live in New England, it snows a lot, so it should be easy to meet up on a snow day, right? Unfortunately this winter made that dream impossible. The storms were either so severe that we couldn't

When I first talked to Annie and Phuong, they didn't want to bother with engagement photos at all. But then Annie mentioned they would be going to Coachella in April. Well, I was planning to go on vacation in Palm Springs in April anyways, how about we make it the same week and I'll meet y'all there. Cool?

Kathy and Harold began talking with me about their engagement session last winter. We talked about waiting until spring, when it was going to be warm outside! Because the end of April HAS to be warm right?! Of course the second you think you can count on New England's weather, you're wrong.

"Let's do engagement photos in April, it will definitely be warm by then!" - An overly optimistic, and very wrong, Mads. Although it was NOT warm (I was still wearing my winter parka during this session) I still had a blast exploring The Knob in Wood's Hole with Bethany and David on Saturday. This is where David

Joanne and Desmond grew up together in Boston, and while they have since settled in the Bay Area of Northern California, wanted to take engagement photos in the city they met and where their families still live. 

We set out on a Thursday evening to my favorite spot in Massachusetts, Singing Beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea. After driving cross country from Phoenix, Arizona to begin their lives together outside of Boston, I wanted to show these two the best New England has to offer. The evening ended in what I can only describe as the most fun I have ever had on a portrait session ever...
