The photographer Boston + Cape Cod moms keep coming back to.

I believe every photograph should do more than capture a moment – it should hold the weight of memory. My work is rooted in stillness, guided by natural light, and shaped by the people in front of the lens.

A timeless approach to Family

The approach

The round belly your partner rests his hand on at night.

The way your newborn curls into your chest like she already knows you.

The chaos of your kids chasing each other down the beach while you and your husband actually look at each other for the first time all day.

I’ve been photographing families in Boston and Cape Cod for over 15 years. I know how to get a toddler to laugh for real, how to make a postpartum mom feel beautiful, and how to capture your partner looking at you the way he does when he thinks no one’s watching.

Every detail is handled for you. The location, the styling, what to wear, how to stand.

You just show up.

DESERVES
MORE THAN A
snapshot

All of a sudden, your bump is full, you’re glowing, and you want to remember every detail.

Your dream maternity session will take place at a special indoor or outdoor location that means something to you, around 28-34 or so weeks.

That’s usually when you’re feeling your absolute best!

I will work with you to plan and style your session down to the smallest detail in a friendly, stress-free way so that all the prep is part of the happy memories, leaving you with beautiful art to celebrate your little one!

These first days deserve to be remembered.

GALLERY

In-home and outdoor newborn sessions on Cape Cod and the South Shore.

It’s an opportunity to slow down and be present.  Relaxed, baby-led, and designed to feel like a morning at home, not a photoshoot.

Holding your newborn session in your home will create special moments and memories, and means you don’t have to leave your home soon after baby is born.

It’s so hard to get everyone in the picture! Selfies just don’t do the trick.

It’s such an incredible treasure to not only get everyone in the photo, but to capture some emotion – the bonds, joy, and personality of your people.

My goal is to create a stress-free experience, guiding you hand-in-hand through choosing your location and your outfits, and leaving you with memories and art to celebrate this life you are making.
