I immediately bonded with Katie when I saw the 804 area code in her phone number; Katie also grew up in Richmond! Small world!­ Katie met Ron on a trip he had taken to visit friends in Richmond, and fast forward a few years, you find us all in Boston hanging out at Tip Tap Room in Beacon Hill waiting out the rain an

The first thing you should know is that Tyler is a cop, so we had EXCELLENT parking for this engagement session….and it was Brooklyn so it was even better. The second thing you should know is that Nicole ROCKED a white jumpsuit for her engagement session and I can’t stop talking about it.

Kiki and Michael first introduced themselves to me as makers, and I was immediately hooked.­ As an artist, I live for hearing other artists talk about their craft­ and I’m particularly obsessed with Kiki’s modern handmade jewelry and pottery. I’m also obsessed with Kiki’s salt and pepper diamond ring, which they are the first to introduce me to.

While Jacky and Jesse will be getting married back home in Canada, they wanted to capture their time in Boston together so we went from Beacon Hill to the Charles River for their fall downtown Boston engagement session. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to find the one day in October when all of our schedules magically overlapped!!

In their inquiry, Lisa and Ryan mentioned that they loved visiting national parks and drinking whiskey….instantly I knew we were going to all be soul mates­.

So before the chilly fall weather set in, we wanted to run around on one of their favorite New Bedford beaches for their Cape Cod engagement session.

When brainstorming with Theresa and Kyle, they said they wanted to go somewhere that had the feel of Maine for a summertime warm coastal engagement session…without the six hour drive. So we went to Halibut Point State Park in Gloucester­. This was my first time to this state park and fell in love at first sight. Just like love should be.­

Austyn and I go way back to high school in Virginia— we actually met in chorus class in 2007!. While we weren't friends (we were in different class years), she reached out after getting engaged to chat about photographing their wedding. We spent an hour on Skype catching up on the 10 plus years since high
