Julia & Peter
Waitsfield, Vermont
This late July backyard wedding in Vermont’s Mad River Valley was an absolute dream. The attention to detail, beautiful palette of pastel bridesmaid dresses, and incredible crew of people made Julia and Peter’s nuptials a summer highlight.

Kylie and Jamie’s late August wedding was Vermont summer perfection. They chose to tie the knot at Vermont’s Swiss and Bloom Farm in Enosburg, Vermont. I hadn’t shot a wedding there previously, and I was blown away the moment I stepped on the property. Direct sunlight is my nemesis on a wedding day. Don’t get […]

As many of you know, I moved to Boston during the summer of 2017 to take a teaching job at Shore Country Day School in Beverly, MA. It was a significant life move for me as I was finally leaving Greenwich after nine years. I knew I was never putting roots down in southern Connecticut, […]

Before I left for my wedding on Saturday, my brother asked, “whose wedding today?” I responded that it was no one he knew and that I was actually meeting the couple for the first time on the day they tied the knot. Now, ideally, this wouldn’t be the case. I like to get to know […]

I’m not someone who’s taken the “traditional” life path. An engagement, marriage, and children haven’t happened to me (I’m not […]

Note: all photos are from my phone. I haven’t yet explored food photography, but maybe I’ll step up my game next week. If you’ve seen me in the past week or checked out my Instagram page, you know I’m currently suffering through Whole30 during the first month of 2019. This is my third time doing […]

Destination wedding: Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma, The Bahamas This past Thanksgiving brought about a couple of “firsts” for me. The obvious one is that I photographed my first destination wedding. Secondly, it was the first time I didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving at home with my family. While I know this business venture has come with […]

I love any reason to celebrate, but this is a big one: this little business of mine turned two today! Two years ago, I hoped you might welcome me into your homes, your milestone moments, and your families to do what makes me happiest: capture time in a bottle. The response has been the biggest […]

Similar to 365 days ago, I’m sitting here, staring at a blank computer screen, hoping the perfect words will emerge from my fingertips. But they haven’t. They haven’t come to me over the past week when I started marinating on this anniversary blog post. Words truly escape me to describe this past year and how […]
