Shortly after the birth of my first child in 2010, I bought my first camera – unbeknownst to my husband. Yeah, spending large amounts of money without telling your significant other is not something I recommend, but that’s another story for another time. Once I figured out how to turn the camera on, I expected to take amazingly awesome shots …
A Cozy Morning with Some Disco Sprinkled In
Megan and I grew up together. When we were in school, she had an infectious laugh that you could hear from classrooms away, she was obsessed with the Boston Bruins, and was into all things theater, acting and chorus. Not much has changed on these fronts – she still has THE most amazing laugh, her love of the Bruins continues …
The Ordinary is Anything But Ordinary
I met Elle at a photography walk in early Fall. After chatting for a bit, we discovered that even though we had driven an hour to the walk, we lived in towns right next to each other. We could have saved the gas and carpooled! We also discovered that her son, Caleb, and I share the same December birthday. How crazy is that?!? After …
Gone Fishing
The kids have been back at school for awhile now, but we are still reconnecting with families that we haven’t seen since school let out in June. A common question to still ask and receive when seeing these people is, “Hey, how was your Summer?” UGH. This year I’ve been cringing when asked this question because I honestly feel that …
Labor Partner, Friend, and Photographer (in no particular order)
On April 29, 2016, I got a call at 5 AM from Lauren to tell me that her water had broken. My memory is a bit foggy, but I believe my first response was, “Are you serious?!” Poor first response, I know, because why else would she be calling me at 5 AM. Anyway, she was serious, and I could …
Strikes in Our Spare Time
When I was in high school, my girlfriends and I loved to go bowling. Call us strange, but it was one of our favorite things to do on the weekends…well, along with driving around aimlessly with the music blaring and, of course, checking out guys. But I digress. In college, I didn’t bowl as much, for whatever reason. It really …

My Start In Family Photography
**This post has been updated.** I’ve never been one to keep a long story short, but here goes… Shortly after the birth of my first child, I bought my first camera (unbeknownst to my husband…yeah, spending large amounts of money without telling your significant other is not something I recommend, but that’s another story for another time). Once I figured …
Giving Thanks
I don’t have many Thanksgiving decorations, but when November rolls around I put a “Thankful” banner up in the doorway between our dining room and family room. I see it when I come downstairs in the morning, when I walk in the door at the end of the day, and after the kids have gone to bed and I’m walking into …
