Hannah

Hannah was this beautiful senior I photographed at Dowses Beach on one of those picture perfect Cape Cod evenings... it was such a fun session, she was fun and funny, enthusiastic and gorgeous... the portrait session was awesome! Seniors are such fun to photograph... she's going to have this really fun Cape portrait in her yearbook on the other side of the country!!!

Cousins



You gotta love cousins, they're the perfect relative! They're fun, near your age, they'll be at every family event... what could be better? Here's a really fun, kind of crazy, portrait session I photographed at Kalmus beach in Hyannis the other evening...

The kids were great... what's better than playing on the seawall? One of the boys even told me a fish tale while we were out there, 'we went fishing out here, I caught a fish, it was thiiiiiissssss big' to which his brother replied, 'no it wasn't!' I had to laugh. I love a good fish tale... didn't realize the stories started so young!

Abby and Luke part 2


What a great time we had photographing Michelle & Jeff and their beautiful family... what a super way to celebrate your anniversary (Hope it was fabulous, congratulations to you both!). Michelle's excitement over the session and her children is such a fantastic thing, it is such a delight taking portraits for her, she brings such enthusiasm to everything, it makes it even more fun for me.

The night was gorgeous, the light beautiful, the kids were fab, it was one of those perfect evenings to photograph a family on the beach... Cape Cod has a lot of those... (well for a couple of months anyway!)

Abby is an amazing girl, she's funny, knows exactly what she wants, just as cute as can be, and oh, those curls! Who wouldn't love them!! Luke is gorgeous, adores his big sister (who could blame him?), growing by the second. Such a lovely family.

Thanks for letting me share such a fun evening. Check out some more images from this delightful session!

Abby & Luke



These are my first images of Abby and her brand new baby brother Luke taken a few months back in the studio... it was kind of a crazy session, the baby was getting used to being alive, the toddler was getting used to having a baby brother, it was exhausting yet still fun... but these images make it so worth it. What a beautiful bond. What beautiful kids. I love photographing children!

Last night I got to see them again, when I photographed their family at Dowses Beach. It was a beautiful evening, gorgeous light, the kids were wonderful. Abby just keeps getting cuter and cuter, and Luke has changed so much since I saw him last. It was one of those lovely Cape Cod summer evenings...

I'll get those photos up soon!

Take a peek for a sample family session

Claire




Claire is this lovely, very talented young lady I had the joy of photographing recently. She plays the harp so beautifully, and also is an amazing Irish step dancer... such talent...

After photographing her in my studio, I also got to see her perform at a local Celtic concert, it was very cool. It's so nice to get a peek into the lives of all these people I photograph. As I've said about a gazillion times, I'm so lucky to be a photographer on Cape Cod...

I think celebrating the talents of your children is a wonderful thing to capture in a photograph, I adore the portraits of Adriana playing the piano. I took them at the beginning of her journey into playing, we'll see where that goes... I get such joy listening to her play, so for me, it's a perfect portrait of who she is at this moment in her life... 'course if you know me at all, I get joy out of just about everything with my daughter, I think she's kinda fabulous it's true!!!

(Claire's brother is also very talented, you can find out his instrument of choice here... sure you can guess which one he is!)

Stay cool in this crazy hot week we're having, who knew it got this hot on the Cape in July?

Happy 4th of July


Enjoy this beautiful holiday weekend! We couldn't ask for better weather... I, for one, am thrilled for such an amazing weekend to photograph a couple of family portraits on the beach here on gorgeous Cape Cod... and for beautiful weather for the in between times to enjoy being with my family and the summer friends who are all down this week... what fun!

Love this photo of Adriana, such joy in her expression... I said we needed to update it, she was psyched because to a 9.5 year old that means only one thing, 'I get a new outfit? COOL!'

Have fun. Be safe. Happy 4th of July.

Isn't it time for your family portrait?
