Yesterday I met up with 7 week old Maeve and her family for her very first portrait session. She was such a sweet, easy little lady to work with. And the interaction with her brother made everything even more special. Simply Precious!
I couldn't have asked for a better evening to take pictures this past weekend. Here are some of my favorites from the family shoot I photographed at sunset. Glorious!
This morning I photographed some friends from Connecticut. They packed the car up with all three kiddos and headed down for a visit to Jerz. Hats off to these guys! We had a busy session, filled with lots of races, bubbles and laughs. Gotta get that energy out after a long car ride, right? Luckily, the arboretum has plenty to explore and play with. Enjoy....
Revised on Friday July 18, at 2:3 pm.
This will be changing on a daily basis, but as of today- here is my availability and locations for the next few months. I can only photograph 3 clients per Saturday. If only 1 time slot is listed for a date shown above, its because the other times are booked.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my other shooting days.
I photograph a certain amount of clients per month. Once the month books up, I will start a wait list. Its best to book 2-3 months in advance now (my busiest season).

This morning I met up with William and his little sister Julianne for their summer portraits. We were a little worried with the weather, but mother nature was kind and we managed to get some amazing pictures. The simplicity of the color palate mixed with their beautiful faces makes me so excited to share!
LBI portrait day 4.
A gift for the grandparents, who celebrated their wedding anniversary. I can't imagine a better present: everyone hanging out on the beach, making memories and taking pictures of three generation. Complete with champaign, I might add! I may have to copy this idea for my own family next year. What a great moment to look back on. So thankful to have photographed it!
LBI portrait day 3.
This shoot was a little different from what I'm used to, which is always a bit thrilling for me. The idea behind their portrait session was to capture who these boys really are; sports lovin' fools! Their passions are baseball (they're really good at it) and surfing (yep, they're cool). So we did a little of both and in the end, I think we succeeded in completing the goal. Memories made between two brothers, and images they'll cherish when they're older!
LBI Portrait Day 2.
Ryan: a little super hero with a big personality. To say we had fun during this shoot is an understatement. Ryan came running right up to me (cape flowing behind him), and gave me an amazing welcome. The last time I saw him was 3 years ago- for his newborn shoot. So seeing him for this session was kind of a big deal, plus I photographed his parents wedding a few years back. I'm so excited to share this preview with you. It was a magical night!
Behold! The first shoot from the LBI family beach portrait sessions.
As you can see, the shoot consists of a family reunion style portrait. They were all gathered together in a sweet beach house filled with tons of laughter and little ones running around. Our shoot took place at sunset, which is not an easy task for any parent of small children. But in between the chaos and occasional melt downs due to exhaustion- we managed to get some amazing portraits. And in the end, the memories made at the beach on this night will forever be etched in their minds--in a good way. Enjoy the preview!
Yesterday I met up with Mason for his very first portrait session. It was great seeing his family again...I shot his parents wedding a few years back, and then his sister Sophia's newborn shoot. Love catching up and documenting these precious milestones.
We dusted off our weddin' shootin' attire and documented our friends nuptials this weekend. Don't get excited people, this was a one time "come out of retirement" situation. Totally worth it and totally fun. The ceremony and reception took place at the Boston Museum of Science, which sits along the Charles River. Enjoy the preview!
Saturday morning I had the pleasure of meeting Ridley and taking his pictures. Such a happy, little fella. Exploring the park, toddling around and smiling up a storm. Loving these!
This weekend I met up with Zoe for her 1 year portraits. Gorgeous morning, gorgeous girl, gorgeous garden. Beyond thrilled with our outcome. Enjoy!
Yesterday evening I met up with Chase and his family for his 1 year portraits. We had tried this a few weeks earlier, but it was crazy windy at the beach so we had to cancel. And yesterday, as I pulled in to the parking lot of the beach, guess what? It started to rain. What are the odds?! Luckily, it was a fast moving rain storm and once the clouds parted, we had a gorgeous evening. We even had a rainbow! In the end, it was well worth the wait.
My last shoot of the day was with Alexander and his parents. The special thing about this shoot, was that I photographed his parents wedding 7 years ago. Catching up, meeting their baby boy and talking about life was really a wonderful way to finish off the Connecticut spring portrait day. Its always an honor when I get to document these special milestone. Thanks for the fun, guys!!
My second shoot from yesterday's Connecticut spring portrait day was with Brielle. She was so excited to have her picture taken (yay!) and loved exploring the gardens and flowers. Here's a sneak peak of our time together....
Today was my Connecticut spring portrait day in Stamford, CT. What a gorgeous morning we had! My first shoot was with these two adorable twins. Its crazy to think an entire year and a half has gone by since our last shoot...so many changes have taken place. Between their personalities, smiles and toddling- I was in picture taking heaven!
Tonight I met up with Alex and his little sister, Audrey for some spring portraits. We had a gorgeous evening- filled with dreamy light. We managed to explore the entire arboretum and got so many killer portraits. Here are a few of my favorites...
Since my shoot today was cancelled due to bad weather, I had to do something with my camera. It happened to be sunny back at my place (go figure) so I opted to take my daughter down to the local arboretum for a few shots. Enjoy!
Today was the first time EVER that I had to pull the plug on a shoot after it began. I met with Chase and his family for his 1 year portraits at Sandy Hook beach with big plans of balloons, sand, ocean, and lots of fun. But the wind was crazy and it started to rain, so sadly we had to stop. I did manage to get this cute shot. I couldn't resist sharing. Stay tuned for pictures of this little guy in a few weeks. Happy birthday, Chase!
