Wedding Photographer. Portrait Photographer. In Love with Love

Matters of the Heart…

I love fresh cut grass and seeing kids fly kites. I love the golden hour before the sun sets, and seeing light shine through things.

I love watching things grow, I love house plants.
I’m a backyard adventurer, a lover of the sea, listener of waves.

I love listening to the birds wake me up in the morning and laying down in the grass, looking up through tree branches.
I grew up looking for four leaf clovers.
I love the feeling of a breeze on the back of my neck.

I love seeing weeds grow through the cracks in the sidewalk. I know nature is winning.
I believe in smiling at strangers.
I love making things by hand.

I grew up working on a farm during my childhood summers. I love fruit warm from the sun. I try to never waste food.

I love the artistry of words, especially the poetry found in ordinary things.
I love real good conversation with a friend.

I listen to my instincts, even when they don’t make sense to my brain.

I like hugs and I probably hold on a second too long…that’s the part that gets really good. Try it.

I try to do things I’m afraid of every once in a while.

I love photography, not just for its ability to transport us back in time, but to allow us to feel again, to remind us of what’s most important.

I love moments and how they build up to tell stories.
I see beauty in every person I meet.

I most value authenticity. I love watching people just be themselves. There’s this beautiful thing that happens when people forget to be self conscious and just let go. This is the spark of beauty I love to encourage. It’s not only beautiful in a photograph, it’s so fun to be a free spirit, even if just for small moments.

I try to look at my fiancé at least once each day as if I’ve never seen him before. I’m discovering new things daily.

The photographs I have of my family and friends are my most prized possessions.

I’m a big fan of love- what more is there to live for…really, it’s the one thing we hope to find, the one thing that makes everything else ok, that holds the world together.

Portrait Photographer Boston MA {Ann & Dave}

It really is a fascinating thing that you can tell how much people care for one another by the way they look at each other. Makes me think about my own expressions as I carry my face around in the world- what am I saying without words?

These images warm my heart…

Ann + Dave,

I have so enjoyed getting to know you both and discovering what you share.

Portrait Photographer Natick MA {Gretchen & Dave}

A really touching afternoon spent with Gretchen and Dave and the sweetness they share.

My favorite image- such a window. The best feeling when the loveliness inside someone can be seen on the outside.

Love what hands say…

Love images that show a real glimpse of what makes a person who they are…

Gretchen + Dave,

Looking forward to the celebration I know your wedding day will be…You both have so much to share, I know it will be filled with much warmth.

Portrait Photographer Plymouth MA {Kyle & Lauren}

Kyle and Lauren are getting married this weekend. Connections between people are mysterious things, but it’s so beautiful when you can feel that it just seems right.

Yay for the happiness that love brings…

A hug can fill so much more space than words…

This is the view they wake up to in the morning…It’s also about a mile from where I grew up so it’s pretty dear to my heart, too. The feeling of salty air in my lungs makes me feel young.

Kyle + Lauren,

So excited to celebrate this weekend with you both :) I know there will be much smiling and laughter.

Portrait Photographer Newport RI {Monica & Eric}

Monica and Eric introduced me to Brenton Point State Park, one of the most magical parks I’ve been to- if I had discovered this place as a kid, I think I would have tried to convince my mom to let us live there. Lots of hidden nooks and secret paths. And glowy, heart melting sun…
