A former bridesmaid (from not one, but TWO of Krista’s prior weddings!) + a pair of squishable baby boys + autumn in New England = the most perfectly adorable portrait session! Prepare yourself for some magic…
It’s impossible NOT to just giggle along with these two!
Thank you, Adrienne and Andrew, for a fabulous afternoon with your sweet family! xo
Krista met Jessica several years ago when she was a bridesmaid in Elena and Dan’s wedding and was thrilled to hear from her wanting to do family portraits at the family’s home. Backyard firepit, a walk in the woods, an adorable pup AND baby boy with two perfectly placed bottom teeth – it made for a fabulous morning!
Thank you for asking Krista to spend the morning with your adorable family!
I don’t know how it happened but we got the most perfect weather and light exactly when we needed it during Christina and Preston’s Engagement session. Not only did they meet for the first time at Back Bay Station, they actually got engaged there as well! This was obviously a special place for them and provided a really fun backdrop for me. We ran around the city, found some wonderful color and light, and I tried not to die of jealousy talking about Chicago with them, one of my favorite cities ever, and where they just happen to live! Enjoy!
I mean come on!
We found some really fun light reflecting off the buildings downtown.
And a nice little spot to cuddle…
At the very spot where they got engaged!
What a super fun afternoon this was guys! I can’t wait to see you again this Summer!! If you’d like to see more, head over to our Facebook Page!
I met with Kate and Peter for the first time at one of my favorite coffee shops, Simon’s, in Cambridge. Not only were they excited for our meeting, which is always great, little did I know Peter had actually just proposed to Kate hours earlier! Now, these two had obviously been planning their wedding for months, and Kate knew they were going to get engaged very soon, but it was still so fun to see how excited they were and to see them basking in that just engaged glow. And I love that even though both Kate and Peter knew this was going down, Peter still pulled out all the stops and even got a small orchestra to play for Kate! So romantic! We got together for their engagement session not soon after at Jamaica Pond, and caught the very end of the beauty that is the Fall in New England. It was fabulous, though we couldn’t have pulled it off any later, it definitely got pretty chilly towards the end of the night!
Kate’s leopard booties are to die for, am I right?!
This is the spot that I believe was their very first date, years ago in feet of snow! I saw pictures, it was adorable…
Kate and Peter thank you for being so awesome and so in love! I can’t wait to see you in April! Check out more on Facebook!
Back in college, one of Sarah and Mike’s first meetings was at a corn maze, or a Maize Maze as we called them in Virginia, with a group of friends. It just sounds so perfect doesn’t it? Getting lost, making eyes at each other through the stalks, definitely sounds like a classic college love story to me :) So when Mike suggested and researched the heck out of Corn Mazes on the North Shore I thought it sounded like super fun idea. We ended up at Marini Farm in Ipswich, which was absolutely perfect. We more or less had the place to ourselves, it was late Fall and the light was INSANE. This definitely ended up being one of my favorites shoots of the year. These two are quiet, thoughtful, sweet and most of all FUN. Enjoy!
I love Sarah’s mini-skirt and boots, the perfect Fall getup!
I could NOT resist the bouncing pillow outside the maze, all the little kids were bouncing around Mike trying to get a good bounce out of him, it was so fun!
I *think* these guys had fun too. :)
Thank you Sarah and Mike for making my job so easy. You guys are the best!

Meet the two cutest people in the whole world, Henia and Jay. These two are so adorably in love I can’t even take it! It was such a pleasure spending the day with these two, Henia’s beautiful daughters and their closest friends and family. Their day was low-key, intimate, emotional, and exciting all rolled into one! We started out at Henia and Jay’s home in Andover, and caught some beautiful late Fall light.
Of course we had to snag some portraits with their adorable dogs!
Such sweet ladies!
By far, my favorite.
Their ceremony space was just outside Davio’s in downtown Boston, it was a cool set up.
Jay’s father’s speech was so sweet, his parent’s seemed so proud!
Absolutely LOVE these two! Thank you Henia and Jay for sharing your love with me, it was such a pleasure! See more on Facebook if you dare!

Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!
The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)
Just a little excited ;)
Some portraits with the ladies before the festivities get started

Such a natural beauty!
Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…
I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!
LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!
And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!
This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!
LOVE these moments!
Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…
My view of the Ketubah signing from the other side of the table
Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!
In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.
Cristen’s view of the kiss
RUNNING out the door!
An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!
“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)
This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!
Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!
A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!
Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!
Cristen captured these amazing moments!
This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)
The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!
Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!
More Josh awesomeness…
A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!
And a parting shot of the beautiful night sky above the tent! What a great night for a wedding!

This past weekend, I actually had a free Saturday, and so my friend Danielle & I decided to go on a little adventure! I love Fall, it’s always been my favorite season (though Summer is a very close second). So, since I’m in New England, home of the most beautiful Fall around, we thought we’d head up to Vermont to take in the gorgeousness!
We decided to drive up to Woodstock and just wander around and see where the wind would take us. After a lovely drive, and a yummy lunch, we walked around the cute little town.
One of the first things we saw was this… a little more disturbing than cute, but definitely interesting! And yes their shirts say “poop” – that apparently stands for Protest Outrageous Oil Profits, but it just looks like poop…
Covered bridges remind me of Indiana :)
After we looked in all the shops and got some tea & cider, we headed back up the road to a great little farm stand we saw along the way. It’s called Fool on a Hill and it was very fun! I mean, check out these bears – what’s not to love?
This is my beautiful friend Danielle, I couldn’t resist shooting her in the gorgeous sunlight
Fool on the Hill also had some random stuffed cows all over the hill. We just had to play…
I’m not sure why Danielle is kissing this cow’s eyeball, but whatever ;)
After playing with the bears and the cows, we kept on down the road to Quechee Gorge. It was beautiful! I kinda wish we’d gone there earlier and walked down the trails a bit, but oh well. You can only fit so much in a day!
The light just kept getting better and better

Random wall o’ graffiti under the bridge by the gorge
Ugh, I really hate photos of myself. It took everything in me to let you see this, but I’m trying to lighten up, so here you go :) (though, I must admit that Photoshop made the decision a little easier ;)
This is a picture of Danielle taking a picture of me taking a picture of her through a hollow log
I mean, that just looks fake! but, it’s not, I promise :)
I forgot how much I love road trips!!
The biggest disappointment of the day was discovering that we had MISSED the peak of the Fall colors in Vermont by a week or two. As we drove up we kept asking, ‘why are all the trees dead?’ But we pressed on anyway and I’m glad we did. But, it would have been a little more fun (or at least a little more pretty) if the trees were a little less bare…
This sign pretty much sums that up…
I snapped this on the way home, somewhere in New Hampshire. THIS is what we were looking for. Oh well! It was still an awesome trip!
Thanks for a fun adventure Danielle! You’re an awesome adventure-buddy!!
