When you take a toddler to the beach, he’s going to want to run and play, jump and sing. He’s going to chase the birds, put his toes in the water, and climb the lifeguard chair. He’ll search for rocks, throw sand, and give you a dozen shells to put in your pocket….. which you’ll […]

I always love when families come back for their portraits year after year, and when I see a family’s name in my inbox after a few years it always puts a great big smile on my face as I get ready for another fun session with them, excited to see how much they’ve grown and […]

Another beautiful family portrait session at Rexhame Beach in Marshfield!  I just love this expanse of beach, and it’s a new favorite spot for our sessions in the summer and fall.   I have been photographing Finley & Bella since they were teeny-tiny 4-pound newborns.  These girls have come to me every few months for […]

Because I’m not ready for summer to be over yet, let’s keep sharing more of our Salt Air portrait sessions from Cape Cod beaches on the blog!   I absolutely adored Kara’s family.  They kicked off my beach season this July and we had such an amazing time at Corporation Beach in Dennis.  Her kids […]

I just love this family!  I’ve been following them on their journey of parenthood since before Lizzie was even born — from maternity portraits to newborn sessions & cake smashes, we have captured so many memories together over the years!

I always feel so lucky that I get to do this job every single day.  I get to hang out with families, play on the beach, enjoy lots of baby cuddles, and watch families grow and change over the years — from babies to toddlers, from kids to teenagers.  I first started photographing families in […]

Family photo sessions at the beaches of Cape Cod are one of my favorite things about summer.  They’re right up there next to porch nights, flip flops, and ice cream cones.   And that’s because these sessions are the perfect way to end a fun-filled day on Cape Cod — head to a beach a little […]

This summer I fell in love with the Outer Banks.  Specifically, Hatteras Island and the little village of Avon.   In July my husband and I went on vacation with his sister and her husband.  They happened to be celebrating their five-year anniversary, so of course that was the perfect opportunity for us to plan […]

Sometimes the stars align and you find yourself exactly where you were supposed to be, surrounded by people that are going to inspire you & change you. That is exactly what happened when Ella Gray Cullen, the founder of the nonprofit Julia’s Way, contacted me and together we organized this session on the beach with […]
