LONDON - PARIS Boston Family Photographer

A VERY WARM

WELCOME

WHY I DO THIS

This business is my third chapter. After a career in advertising, I spent several years home with my daughters and enjoyed (almost!) every minute of it. But when a close friend lost her battle with cancer at 40, I knew I couldn’t waste another minute. I was confronted with the fragility of life, and I didn’t want to look back one day wondering why I hadn’t pursued my dream.

At the same time, I was watching my girls grow up, and the only way I knew how to stop time was with my camera.

That’s why I do this. Not because photography is a fun hobby (it is!). Or because I help support my family and contribute to my girls’ college education (I do!). I do it because I truly love celebrating the joys and relationships in my clients’ lives — and helping them preserve a memory of their family exactly as it is right now.

My Experience

I opened my business in 2011, so I have fifteen years of experience photographing families, babies, high school seniors, professional headshots, and events of all kinds. I’m flexible and easygoing, and I’ve worked with just about every personality type.

I’m also highly organized and communicative, and I care deeply about providing an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Making people feel comfortable in front of the camera is the most important part of my job — but an artistic eye and technical expertise matter, too. I love finding beautiful pockets of light and experimenting with new techniques, while also investing in the most up-to-date gear and software (and backup gear!) — and knowing exactly how to use it.

A little more about Me

Part of finding a photographer that's a great fit for you, is finding one you feel comfortable with. Here is a little peek into who I am:

Family is Number One.

I've been married for 26 years and have two daughters - 24 and 21. My oldest is one year out of college and my youngest is a college Senior - so trust me when I say I know how fast time goes.

I'm obsessed with travel.

If I'm not planning an upcoming trip, I'm probably armchair traveling by reading travel blogs. You can check out my travel gallery here, and if you have any questions about the places I've visited or trip planning in general, don't hesitate to ask!

Every summer I take my girls on a road trip

Just the three of us. We have such special memories over the years from our very first road trip to Storyland, to exploring the desert in Utah. It's harder now that they are grown, but we really try to squeeze something in every year!

I think I'm handy but I'm not.

Learned that by living in a 135 year old house for the last 22 years. I've fixed some things, and tiled a floor, but I truthfully really don't know what I'm doing.

Sometimes I think I'm still a teenager.

I LOVE music and definitely go to too many concerts, but my girls would probably tell you I'm really not very cool. And they make fun of the way I dance. And sing.

MY FRIENDS CAN MAKE ME SMILE FOR DAYS

Spending a weekend or an evening with friends, a mountain to ski on, and a lot of laughs is one of my favorite things ever. And the best part is thinking about the funny moments days later and cracking up.

I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN

So if you're nervous, I promise I can relate. Just like me, you may have insecurities and I'll work hard to make you look your best during our shoot, and more importantly, see how beautiful you are.
