Jay got in touch with me to buy a photo session for his wife, Maria, for Mother's Day. We all met up at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain for our session. It was the perfect spot for some natural shots!

This past week end I got together with my friend Amanda and photographed her son, Noah, who turned two in February. I cannot believe how fast he's growing! Our backdrop was Salem and we had a great time basically following him around and shooting as he explored.
How cute is little one-year-old Aayan? Let me count the ways! I photographed Aayan six months ago (SEE HERE) and I was so excited when his happy parents contacted me to photograph him again at one year. He was such a good sport considering he was breathing like a mini-Darth Vader with his cold. Here are some favorites of mine!
I was thrilled to get a call from Sarah this year to photograph her and her family again. Such fun people! The children, Alex and Hannah, sent me home with a bag full of goodies - cookies and drawings and even a handmade dreidel magnet!Hannah came to me at the end of the session and asked that I read her a book about wheels. We got comfy on the nearest plushy chair and I read to her about wheels on cars and bikes and more. On one page was a bike race and there were spectators. Three of the spectators stood with cameras and one had it hanging down from his neck. I told Hannah, "Here's a photographer who will never get work because he's not taking any pictures and the action is just flying by him!"
Her parents laughed.
My Mom recently shared this photo of me, the little one, with a family friend, looking at a contact sheet.
Must have started early!
Bennet's mom Sharon found my work and liked it. So she hired me to come to her place and photograph her little one with her and her husband, Jeff. They were such nice people and what a great home to take photos in! It was a photographer's dream to have such a nice location! And the subject was too cute to boot!

| I think this one's my favorite from the session. |
I have known Maureen for as long as I can remember. We grew-up together, our houses back to back. Our families became family and now, the family continues to grow and grow! I feel so priviledged to document it as it does so...
Petra got in contact with me a while ago. She and her husband Matt are celebrating their tenth anniversary and Petra wanted to commemorate it with some portraits. It took a while for us to make it happen! Our first attempt got rained out, the second didn't happen because of crossed wires, and finally, the third time was a charm!
Julie was visiting family locally from Louisiana and made a photo session appointment with me. These are some favorites form her session with her daughter, Sarah, who was not feeling too smiley til the end of the shoot. Who can blame her with out hot hot weather and the strange lady with the big black thing in front of her face!
I went to school with Jason and Jamie. We were "band geeks" together. It's so bizaare but great to reconnect with people from what feels like so far from my past. They are now married after running into each other once out of high school and hitting it off. And now they are parents to Miss Hailey, who is just under two years-old!
Today I had a nice little photo shoot with the kids of a close friend of mine. We grew-up together and it's been fun watching her be a mom. A very good one at that! I photographed Ava last year, and this year, she was joined by her twin sisters, Sam and Addison, now five months old. They were troopers and Ava is always good for some comic relief (not that it was needed) with her hilarious facial expressions!
Ava sang an Usher song while jumping around on her mom's bed.
I was recently hired to photograph C.Jay while he was playing ball so that his mom could make prints for her father for Father's Day. Really nice idea, actually!
I did manage to get some nice shots before the light went. It was an evening game and those overhead field lights always make everything look so wonky.
