1. How did you get started in photography and when did you start your business?  

I have been in business as a professional photographer specializing in newborn and baby photography since 2008. I absolutely adore my job and the fact that I get to be a part of such a special time in my client’s lives.

2. Where are you located? Do you have a studio space or do you shoot on-location?

I am located in Boston MA. I shoot in home newborn sessions which allows me to capture traditional posed newborn portraits as well as more relaxed lifestyle images of baby's first days at home.

3. What do you shoot with and what are your favorite lenses?

I am a Nikon girl! In my bag is my D810 and my two favorite lenses, the 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.4.

4. What drew you to newborn photography? Do you photograph anything else?

I am a very calm patient person so from the beginning newborns were a good fit for me. I love taking the time to get every little finger and toe just so. I also love the reaction I get from parents when they see their new little love calmly curled up in ways they did not think possible. Newborns are a hard subject for the average person to photograph and I love that I can capture this fleeting and beautiful stage of life for my clients. I do also offer maternity and baby’s first year packages to my newborn clients.

5. How would you describe your style? Where do you find inspiration?

My style of newborn photography is pure, simple and focused on natural poses. I love soft neutral colors and textures and prefer to make the baby the focus of the session rather than large props and accessories. I am inspired gorgeous light, soft colors, and real emotion.

6. Have you taken any photography workshops/training?

I am a firm believer in continuing education and participate in a variety of workshops and industry events each year to stay on top of the latest trends, products and techniques. When I was started out I got training from Kelley Ryden and greatly admire her work.

7. Where do you like to shop for props? Do you have favorite vendors?

My style is very natural and organic so I love simple accessories that keep the focus on the baby. A few of my favorite vendors are JD Vintage Props, Dolly Priss, Avonli Cottage and Custom Photo Props.

8. What is something you wish someone would have told you when starting out?

Take your time learning your camera, learn to see and use light and get critique of your work before attempting any type of paid session. Then price yourself right and take the business side just as seriously as the photography. Be patient with yourself and accept that you will make mistakes. Learn from them and keep moving forward!

I am a wife and a mother. Country music, Tory Burch, date nights, the ocean, my daughter’s laughter and dark chocolate make me happy. I love good food and good cocktails. I love to travel. I believe in hard work and simple kindness. I try to see the good in people and embrace the joy in every day. I love photography and the opportunity it gives me to preserve the precious fleeting moments in life. I have watched my girls grow from tiny babies to beautiful girls and I treasure the memories of every stage along the way.
