Senior Portrait Photography in Boston | Boston Public Library | Fenway Park
This senior portrait session in Boston was special to me on a few different levels. You see, Will is my younger cousin and I was a teenager when he was born, so it’s really weird that he is about to graduate from high school! Back when I had just gotten my first camera and began calling myself a photographer my aunt had hired me to take photos of Will for their annual Christmas card, for many years. It was always great looking through those photos year after year, not only showing how Will grew as a child, but they were great for showing my growth as a photographer. Once he outgrew holiday card modelling we had stopped, but we all knew that for Will’s senior photos we needed to get back into Boston and make some epic portraits.

Capturing Mary and Josh's enchanting wedding was an absolute joy, and I eagerly anticipate returning to Southwick's Zoo for future wedding or engagement sessions.

I showed up to the Naval Shipyard just after sunrise with the workers, sailors, joggers, and commuters.
Senior Portrait Photography at Nahant Beach
There's an enchanting quality to a portrait session during golden hour. The setting sun bathes everything in a warm, soft, ethereal glow, making it the ideal time for natural light portraits. When my younger cousin, Angelina, asked me to be her senior portrait photographer for her, I couldn't help but reflect on how time had flown by. It felt like just yesterday she was crawling around at Grandma and Papa's, while I eagerly awaited the end of high school.
