A glimpse in time…
No story is the same as the next, so let’s make something that is uniquely yours. I’d love to take the time to get to know each other, where you feel comfortable enough to have your true, authentic selves captured in real time. What moments do you want to feel nostalgic over in 15 years?
Yellow Submarine was one of my favorite songs when I was a child. I would make dance routines to it with my siblings and cousins. And then we would have my Aunt and Uncle sit and watch the performance. We’d go to this same beach and run to the rock “waterslide” that seemed so much bigger then. The world seeming so much smaller. I often wish I could go back to those days. Not an ounce of worry in the world and full of imagination. Radiating awe and wonder.

I’ve been feeling blue. I never know how to deal with loss. Moving slow like molasses. Taking in every feeling and letting it pass. The wave of it all. It is where I need to be, saying it as if I have a choice. Using these emotions to express creativity. To pour more into my sessions and my editing. Use intention, build connection, take my time. Goals I have set for myself. And to share the photos that speak to me, the ones I normally wouldn’t post.

September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to remind ourselves that our care can make all the difference. Checking in on loved ones is crucial, whether they show signs of distress or not. It’s not just women who suffer with anxiety and depression. Men’s struggles with mental health often go unspoken, and it’s time we bring these conversations into the light also. I lost my brother 15 years ago, and though time has passed, the grief remains—a quiet, persistent echo of love, loss, and lingering anger. It evolves, never truly fading, and serves as a poignant reminder to hold our loved ones close, to listen with empathy, and to offer unwavering support.

Just me being a risk taker posting near midnight again.
Thank you @films.by.aly for getting this shot of me in action! And somehow making me look graceful instead of a sweaty maniac. I never thought I’d be photographing weddings. A dream I had for so long. It’s hard work for sure- but so rewarding to witness intimate moments and create images for people that last a lifetime.

It’s not about the perfect family session where everyone is happy and smiling and ready to look at the camera. That’s not usually how it works with young children. Sometimes it’s watching them lay on the grass when you want them to get up. And then it’s letting all of that go, relaxing your body and being present no matter what unfolds. It’s finding the awe within the chaos. It only takes a second to capture a moment of laughter and wonder and everything in between. It will seep through if you release expectation and remain joyful. Let the children lead and then follow…

I can’t think of a caption right now because it was hard enough to choose what images from this garden session to post. I just love this couple and can’t wait to photograph their baby boy so soon 🦋🌸

Been trying to post this photo all day but I guess I can only post reels right now. IG is a weirdo sometimes. I love this image because it’s so simple and timeless. Also love me some heavy grain when the mood is right 🕊️

The beauty and strength that women embody. Their capabilities that are often overlooked. The profound miracle of creation itself makes me question and reflect so much about the Universe. I always hope that women are encouraged to embrace their bodies changing and this extraordinary transformative power they have.

This adventure at @langhamboston was one of the funnest nights. Hanging out with my best friend and her fiancé who I grew up with. Playing good music. Eating charcuterie. Frolicking around the hotel and exploring. All while being able to do something I love. Saving my corny caption for another post I make with these images and because I’ve had to delete and make this reel 4x. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I love you I love you I love you ♥️

I am in a bow obsession era and I can’t wait to show a sneak of this engagement session.
My youngest turned 3 recently. She still sleeps in a crib. She still wears diapers. She still has a pacifier, aka “bink.” She still drinks milk in a bottle at night. My Mom and I always joke about me trying to keep her a baby forever. But she loves all these things. It’s comforting to her, its part of her routine. Part of the makeup of her short little life so far. I have realized my hesitance on this isn’t just because I have been so busy. 2023 was filled with unexpected immense challenges, so potty training was not on my mind. But I also just don’t want to. I am having trouble giving up this part of her life, that is also a part of mine. I know once we transition away, this current magnificent time becomes a cluster of memories I will try and hold onto for dear life. No more seeing her cute little head peek up from the crib while yelling for us to get her. Sticking my wrists in through the cracks to rub her head while I kneel and tell stories. No more playing the game of cat and mouse with the diaper change. I love the moments where its silent while shes laying with us, and all I can hear is the sound of the binky in her mouth. How excited she gets when we give it to her at night. Watching her drink her “baba” with the same movements, noises, hand and feet motions she has been doing since nursing. I don’t want her to transition to a different “stage” because I love the one I am in with her. That’s the part of life I will never get used to. The constant ebb and flow with my children. The dial of time, feeling so incredibly slow, but then coming all at once and covering me with a heavy blanket of bittersweet reflection. I guess I will call it the grief of time. And when it does catch up to me, while looking forward to a new chapter that awaits, I still always wish we could stay where we are…just a little bit longer.

And now I’m on the other side. I worry often. I have fears. I get too busy. I scroll the internet garbage. The media. I forget to breathe. I get bored. I feel grief. I overthink. I can’t think. Then I see the joy, imagination and creativity in my own children. And I see it in the children I get to photograph. Belly laughing with their parents. Drawing in the sand with a bird feather. Not caring about getting messy. Walking in the water, no matter how cold it is, to find rocks that are drawn to them. The same contagious carefree wonder and ideas and play-fullness and exploration and exuberant love. They inspire me. And I block out the noise and remember what it felt like to be them. It’s still in me. In us. We just have to dig a little deep and bring it out.
I always love photographing this special family 🌊🪶

These images remind me of the simple act of giving and receiving…the constant in human connection we should always be practicing.

Time spent in the mountains to focus on myself and pause is something I didn’t know my mind body and spirit was yearning for so desperately. @unraveledacademy retreat made me realize so much about myself as an artist but more so as a human being. I am going to continue to slow down when I return home. I have so much to say and share from this past week, but now I’ll just emphasize that It’s important to stop and reflect, and more imperative to change anything that doesn’t make your life feel whole.
I was feeling lost for quite some time, when all I needed was to separate from the noise, take a breath, and just soak in all the beauty that was made for us.

Yva + Haakim,
We just met recently but I cried and laughed photographing your wedding more than I have in a long time. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your love that just shines out of you and everyone who surrounded you on this day. It was truly a blessing to witness. And that reception and music was a partyyyyy. I wanted to put my camera down and dance. Literally, the entire time. An absolute perfect beautiful day.
Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson! Had to pick their first dance song for this post 🤍

This couple fell in love at 20 years old, and were happily married by 25 (first image not taken by me). Life struck and their world turned upside down just a few years after tying the knot, when the bride’s mom received a terrifying diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The couple moved into Mom’s home to take care of her; and they fought a hard fight alongside her for 2 grueling years.
The bride’s mom ultimately passed, and the loss was so big that the bride, in her words, no longer knew herself. This resulted in a devastating divorce, but also (eventually) resulted in the birth of a beautiful baby girl - biologically, the bride’s daughter - Niamh Suzanne. After a few years apart and the bride finding herself again, Lindsey and Sean reconnected. They are now bigger, better, and stronger than ever. Here they are choosing each other for the second time, at Boston City Hall on a very special date, 3/8/24, what would have been Lindsey’s beloved late Mother and Sean’s MIL’s 63rd birthday. Their family and friends, and especially Niamh, could not have been more thrilled.
Cheers to Lindsey and Sean- showing me the power of love triumphing over hardships, forgiveness, understanding, and new beginnings 🥂🥹💕

Rachele really showed the essence of being present and embracing the growing body that belongs to her. Women are freakin miracles.
I am so happy @bellafalco left her thrifted vintage Valentino nightgown back home in Quincy. I have now thrifted it again, to myself. Tysm.

I’m a mother.
But I’m also a woman. A wife. A friend.
I’m a daughter. A grandchild. A niece.
I’m a person, too.
And I know most of what I talk about right now is my children.
Because they are the air I breathe.
My morning, noon and night.
They are my every day.
But I have more layers.
Underneath them, is me.
I’m still here.
Rearranged, but here.
I’m still here.
And I need you to remember that.
