Sunday afternoon sweetness ~ Child and Newborn Photographer Plymouth MA

Children are the sweetest little things. They really are. If I could have 10 more and run a successful business at the same time, I would! Alas, I am happy with my 1 little dude and can at least get it out of my system when I spend time with other people's little ones! ;)

Big sister *A* and newborn baby *R* are both super young. Their ages can be difficult to photograph and getting the 2 sisters in a photo together could have been quite the project.... To my pleasant and grateful surprise, these 2 ladies were absolute dolls for me. Sure, I chased 2 year old *A* around the house playing peek-a-boo and sneaking shots of her in the process. When getting the newborn photos of Baby *R*, she may or may not have peed on her mom. ;) This is the price you pay when photographing young children and I will pay it gladly! (Sorry, mom! hehe)

This family is so sweet and even fed me homemade pizza after the session. Clearly, they've heard food is the way to my heart. That and sweet kids that let me take their photos :) Thanks for welcoming me into your home and I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek!

Breathing new life ~ Plymouth MA Photographer


Every so often, you gotta shake things up. Spring is just around the corner (it is, I promise!) and with it comes rebirth. The trees are green again, flowers bloom, bugs come out to play... my birthday whisks me into the late 20's... haha! For the most part, I love this season! :)

I also love my photos and feel they should reflect who I am, as a photographer and as a person. This is why, in the spirit of the coming season, I'm revitalizing my portfolio. I'm going to take more chances, be bold and never apologize for breaking "rules". I will be dabbling in textures, experimenting with colors and really letting myself play! I'm excited to start shedding my old approach and be more true to my personal style.. wherever that may take me.

Come along for the ride and I promise it'll be anything but boring ;)

On that note.... bring on Spring please!!

Wedding Wire Contest ~ Plymouth MA Wedding Photographer

I can't wait to see the photos they chose - both from me and the other photographers. I love galleries of wedding eye candy!

A small contest but an achievement just the same! Thank you to all the people that support and believe in me... it means the world to me and I will continually strive to make you proud.

Vintage Portraits ~ MA Children Photographer

I had the pleasure of hanging out with two of the sweetest kids. Their parents are old friends of mine and I don't see them as often as I would like to... Isn't it funny when you "grow up", lose touch with close friends, see them after years go by and it's like no time has passed at all?

Here's to friendships, love and always dancing like no one is watching....

....and now for some romance ~ Boudoir photographer MA

All I have to say is... what a small world it truly is! Imagine my surprise when an old classmate of mine from elementary school contacted me regarding Boudoir photography. It was definitely a pleasant surprise! I LOVE reconnecting with familiar faces from when I was younger... it's such a trip to catch up and see how everyone is doing. :)

It was a yucky day outside - snow and slush as far as the eye could see - but that didn't bother us... we had some romantic images to take! Shooting for a book, I concentrated on getting artistic portraits of Ms. A - we did about 5 different looks and in record time! She was a pleasure to photograph and spend time with... I cannot wait until the wedding!!!

With her gracious permission, I would like to share some photos!

Some favorites...







Boudoir sessions are a great way to treat yourselves, ladies! Sure they make great gifts for your significant others but, come on, what's more fun than getting made up like a model, having a photo shoot and getting gorgeous products? Not much ;)

I always approach these sessions looking to make something artistic and definitely feel we achieved just that!

Hope you like!
