Remember the sleepover game where one person started laughed and it contagiously made everyone crack? Whitney and Scott's wedding was full of that same tummy tickling joy and anticipation.

Emily and Chris - Portsmouth Wedding at Wentworth by the Sea
I had never really considered New Hampshire as a possible location for glamour until Emily and Chris (aka the young Kennedy lookalikes) showed me the way. Having known each other since high school, there was no division between sides of families or whose friend is whose. They even went to prom together and looked the same then. Hi, I want your genes.
Read MoreElina and Dan - Nashville Wedding at CJ's Off the Square
Someone who can combine garden roses, succulents, driftwood and custom Lego people is someone I need in my life. They may be someone I have begged to let me join their family (and chances are that person is nice enough to say "OK!" and not roll their eyes at me). Elina and Dan invited their friends and family down to Nashville for their wedding weekend and I was so grateful to be on hand to document their day and to have a chance to see a little bit of the city (translation - the inside of the hot chicken place).
Read MoreKristen and Travis - Dunes Club Rhode Island Wedding Photography
When I left Boston the morning of Kristen and Travis's wedding, the weather forecast was a series of scary looking clouds and lightning bolts. Somewhere along 95 on the way to Rhode Island the sun emojis changed their attitudes, and by the time I pulled up to the Dunes Club I parked, squinted outside in the sun, checked the weather again and saw the suns wearing sunglasses. I'll take it! The remnants of the hurricane (HUGE waves) provided some pre-wedding relaxation (probably not the right word) for the body-surfing groomsmen. Further signs I'm getting old include me biting my nails watching them, fretting that this probably wasn't safe. From the surf break to the weight room, the guys got ready on one side of the Dunes Club while the ladies had a awesomely preppy- Palm Beach-esque suite. It's never fair, guys, but when life hands you a gym to get ready in, you go with it!

As far as I'm concerned, this was a perfect evening. Uninterrupted fields of queen anne's lace, golden sun, rock-skipping, and beautiful, madly in love people.

Clare and Matt - Michigan Wedding Photography
Where to even begin with Matt and Clare's wedding. The midwest has charmed me again! On the way over in the morning, I pulled the car over countless times to observe/photograph/pick wildflowers and shake my head at how beautiful Michigan is. Combine that with the most welcoming and laid back wedding party, friends and family, unfettered use of the golf carts (!!!), people willing to bring me lunch, feed me buttered rolls and palm me tiny bottles of wine (you guys know who you are - love you) and you get some of the fantastic experience.
Read MoreWhitney & Scott
in Engagement, Portrait
Wandering around Beacon Hill always gives me major door envy. And fence envy. And roof deck envy. Lucky for me I got a fix for that last one when I spent an afternoon with Whitney and Scott. But these two are way more than just a pretty roof deck:

in Engagement, Portrait
An afternoon of engagement pictures, burgers, and blossoms at Applecrest Farm Orchards with Kim, Andrew and Riggsby.
Read MoreThe Sajis
There is nothing better than spending time with three generations, each of which make you feel like family. Of course by this I mean that they took me to Clover, and were able to seamlessly translate "if you get fries I would have one or two" to "yes I require my own order of fries!"
Read MoreHunter & Tripper
In the several hours I spent with him, I definitely said "I want your eyelashes" many times. Probably too many times. If Hunter were older than 6 months, he would have given me a much more skeptical face than he did. So luckily for me, he was satisfied to show me his dog and where his feet were, and how long a drool string he can make.
Read MoreCaroline and Bryan
in Portrait, Engagement
The day before the winter solstice may not strike you as the most comfortable time to do engagement pictures, but this year the weather made a big exception. By the way, I really can't help but pronounce solstice as soul-steece a la Trey in Broad City, hopefully someone else out there understands me.

in Engagement, Portrait
Happy New Year's Eve - eve! Before I officially become delinquent and post this in the wrong year, here are some of my favorites from an early morning with Sophie and Brian.
Read MoreThe Kreas
in Portrait
Baby Benjamin's advanced sense of humor and my juvenile one pretty much meet in the middle. That means when I trip over a tree root and almost bite it, we both laugh. Thank goodness for fellow slapstick lovers, it was cold out and we needed something to warm us up!
Read MoreEmily and Chris
in Engagement, Portrait
I was a lucky girl to spend an afternoon poking around Portsmouth's alleys (some even come with shark murals!!) and bridges with top tour guides Emily and Chris, who must have been pretty convinced I wasn't actually from New England by the end because I wouldn't stop squealing about how cute and colonial everything was.
Read MoreKristen and Colin Get Engaged
in Portrait, Engagement
Last Saturday was one of those ideal days I wasn't quite sure existed, where you get to meet new friends and eat a delicious lobster roll by Portland Head Light.
Read MoreHorses of Kauai
I spent what seems like a LOT of our vacation asking Dan to pull over so I could photograph horses and other critters that we spotted from the road, so we finally got wise and spent some time touring the lesser traveled roads and old sugar cane haul roads where we could explore at our own pace.
Read MoreVivienne and Louis
in Portrait
Amanda got in touch wanting to get a few pictures of her daughter, Vivienne, and yorkie, Louis. It was my first trip to World's End in Hingham, but definitely not my last - this place has it all! Although I have no firsthand knowledge of how long it takes to get a 2 year-old ready for a photo shoot, I felt Amanda and Marcus's pain when Vivienne IMMEDIATELY tripped and got dirt on her pristine white coat! No tears, no injuries (low bar - we aim to please), and we were off to the races.
Read MoreKate, Chris and Bartlet
in Portrait
Kate and Chris and their little beefcake of a frenchie, Bartlet, used to live in the North End, so on a unseasonably cold day this fall (but now looks tropical!!) we met up for some portraits.
Read MoreSam, Galen, Meeko and Mark
in Portrait
Anyone who wants to include their dog and their cat in their pictures for their save-the-date is absolutely someone I should be working with. With expert cat-wrangler (Sam's mom) in tow, brave kitty Meeko was a star, and I think we got what we needed in the first 10 minutes, but there was no way I was letting Sam, Galen and Mark away with that when we were in such a beautiful park.
Read MoreDrais Family
in Portrait
One warm late December weekend I got to spend the morning with a couple of seriously cool parents, who have two year old twins and just had a newborn. After an hour and a half, I was exhausted, so it's fair to say I have no clue at all how parents do it!
