Family of 4 stands on a rocky hill, one son climbing a fence, for a family photo during their Minute Man National Park family session in Concord.

Minute Man National Park Family Session, The T Family

This Minute Man National Park family session is particularly dear to my heart because it’s my cousin’s family! After many years of living in another state, she and her family moved back to Massachusetts. Her mom, my aunt, thought it would be wonderful for them to have some family portraits. These two little boys are…

Winchester Newborn Session, Baby M

One of the sweetest things about this Winchester newborn session was that Mom’s uncle is the one who gifted it to them! He called me asking about gift certificates because his niece was about to have a baby and they recently moved to town. Such an awesome baby gift! This family could not have been…

Three sisters huddle together and smile for the camera at their winter family session at Minute Man National Park in Lincoln.

Minute Man National Park Winter Family Session, The L Family

To put this beautiful winter family session into context, allow me to explain how I’m connected to these three gorgeous, strong, kind girls. In my last post, I mentioned my good friend Jill. She and I met at Portrait Simple, the mall photo studio at the Natick Mall. Jill and I have our own little…

Newton Backyard Family Session, The A Family

Today’s blog post features this very cool (because of the kids, not me) Newton backyard family session. This is far from the first time I’ve photographed this family, though! A very long time ago, my good friend Jill, who I worked with at Portrait Simple (that’s a story for another day!) passed my name along…

Big sister puts her arm around little sister and they both smile for the camera during their fall family session at Endicott Park in Danvers.

Endicott Park Danvers Family Session, The N Family

I love when families surprise me with new locations! Before this fall Endicott Park family session, I had never been to Endicott Park in Danvers. We lucked out with a gorgeous day, and of course, we had these two adorable little girls. Mom wanted to make sure we captured a beautiful photo of the two…

Little girl sitting on her big brother's shoulders in front of a wall of red leaves during their Winchester Center fall family session.

Winchester Family Session, The B Family

This Winchester family session makes great use of the town’s vines! You’ve seen this wall before (I told you it was my favorite). These two little cherubs are particularly special to me because they are my niece and nephew. I am lucky they live close by so we can hang out fairly often.  I photographed…

Mom and Dad hold their daughters while the big sister leans over and kisses her baby sister during their fall family session at Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm in Stow.

Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm Family Session, The M Family

Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm is a great spot for family photos! Sure, they have Christmas trees, but they also have a pond and a wooden fence, and lots of little spots for photos. A Christmas tree farm session doesn’t necessarily have to mean you take all your photos with Christmas trees! We focused on finding…

Minute Man National Park Family Session, The D Family

This Minute Man National Park session stars an adorable little family. I first met Shana, the mom, through her sister (we worked together at a mall photo studio). Shana agreed to model for me back when I was still creating a portfolio. We reconnected when I photographed her sister’s wedding and I was thrilled to…

Winchester High School Senior Portraits

Spending time with high school seniors always energizes me! There is so much potential and optimism. I love hearing about their plans and dreams for their futures. Then I totally start talking about *my* college experience like it was yesterday when really it was a million years ago. These Winchester High School senior portraits were…
