This family was one of my first clients 2 years ago! I had put an ad on the bulletin board at my then day-job for holiday portraits and my co-worker, Charley, responded. I don’t do a ton of family portraits, mostly because of my wedding season extending into the cold winter months, but I am so glad that I get to keep trekking down (this was my 3rd time!) to the South Shore to photograph this family. They are so easy to photograph, because Julie & Charley are big fans of the candid moment. You’ll see at the end of the post, the last photograph, is what happens when I try to pose 3 year old twins, hilarious!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks! I have been working on a couple of wicked awesome projects that will surely bring some exciting new posts. I can’t wait for you to see!
Meanwhile, here are a few photos from a recent shoot on the esplanade that I love.
I love trees. If I am in a hurry and sprinting to make it somewhere on time and I happen to pass an cool gnarled tree, I will most likely stop to gaze at it.
Thank you so much for checking out my images. If you like me, you should tell me so in a comment. If you hate me, you should also tell me in a comment! I love to hear from my readers, it makes my day!
In the next few weeks expect to see an insane photo shoot involving fire and the setting of things on it =) Doesn’t that sound fun? I am also going to have a giveaway, but the details of that are a secret right now! I am going somewhere fantastic to shoot my first destination wedding in just a few months, and I am so excited about it! I can’t wait to share the details of that, either!
Until then, enjoy these pretty people and trees!

This weekend I had the opportunity to meet, shoot, and be shot by two lovely ladies and their dogs. I technically met them online, on Twitter! They are Meredith of &Unlimited Photography and Stacey of Cold Nose Photo.
My brother sent me a link to some of Meredith’s photographs a few months ago because she is a pet photographer and gets great shots of dogs and their owners. Who doesn’t want to spend all day looking at photos of cute dogs? I loved her style and so we started talking through tweets. I know, I know. Meredith and Stacey had already met in person and also initially met online.
It was so so so fun to hang out with other photographers. We met up at the Fells Reservation in Medford, MA. We bring Emma here quite a bit, and it was awesome for her to have some friends to play with this time!
Here is Meredith and Orvis!

I have a whole new respect for pet photographers. It’s SO hard! The pups are never looking where you want them to be looking and are usually distracted by whatever bird or squirrel is passing by. Both Stacey and Meredith have some great techniques for keeping the dog’s attention that seem to work really well! Meredith cracked me up so much because me and Emma were posing and I hear her make this sound I can only describe as a “chirp”. It definitely kept both Emma and my attention.
When you have such beautiful women in front of you, it makes the job easy! Here are a couple portraits of each of them.
