We're taking family pictures WHERE?

Okay, so most people might think I'm weird. They schedule me for a family portrait and I tell them to meet me by an alley. I think they start to wonder if they should do a background check on me. But no, I have a clean record :)

I like color and texture and being a little different. That doesn't mean I don't do beach or park pictures. But sometimes, I like to mix things up a bit. And city scapes have just what I'm looking for; and yes, sometimes that means you may be taking your family portrait in an alley. Only if you want to of course, but I dare you to give it a try. You might like it.

I knew this family would be all for it. My camera LOVED these kids!! What little models! I hope I get to photograph them more often!!!

Nice to meet you Lev!

Mr. Lev is now five months old, and I had planned on photographing him months ago. But with the move to the Gulf Coast, I didn't get the pleasure. Luckily, this time I was in Boston I made time to meet the little guy. I'm so glad I did. He's a cutie, and possible romantic interest for my daughter, who seems quite smitten with him!

Leah and Eric are great people who make adorable little boys! Okay, boy, singular, but you know what I mean.

Family on the 4th

A colleague of mine, Caty Morris, took a great photo last year and I wanted to do something similar. At one of her weddings, her guests got together and wrote the word "Congrats" in the air with sparklers and Caty did a great job capturing it.

So, realizing my family all had some sparklers I thought "hey, when better to try this out?" I got them all together and had them spell out the word "FAMILY." It took two tries, but we got the great photo above.

Lizzy's in Pass Christian

Brian and I drove by this place tonight and just stopped to have a look. It's a coffee house, breakfast and lunch place and on Friday and Saturday nights, it's a bar! How cool is that? They just opened a couple weeks ago.

124 Davis Ave

Their menu looks phenomenal! We miss our old breakfast place in Newton Highlands and so we've been hoping to find something local. I wanted to give a local place some love and support. So stop in sometime and try their coffee, breakfast or lunch.

Brian and I are getting up bright and early to try their breakfast. I'll let you know what we think!!!

Edited to add: It was as good as it looked! Brian and I enjoyed it so much we went two days in a row!

Jessica and Jarrid - engagement

Friday was a hot day. Did I say hot? I meant sweltering! But that didn't deter Jessica and Jarrid at all! We met at the harbor in Ocean Springs. Really, I should have insisted we meet an hour later for both heat and lighting conditions, but turns out, everything came out great!


After the harbor, we headed down to Government Street in downtown Ocean Springs. Finally, we ended up at the beautiful Gulf Islands National Seashore Reserve where Jarrid popped the question back in March!


They are a great couple and getting married in just four weeks!

Travel and vacation and news, oh my!

I will be travelling June 23rd and returning July 1st. I'll be in Boston (yippee, I've been missing it so much!)

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. The most effective way to reach me while I'm away is on my cell phone.

All galleries in the que will be online by the time I leave. (yay)

I only have one or two openings for July portrait sessions. August is a little more open, but booking up fast. So contact me soon to get your session booked.

I do not have any portrait openings for this visit to Boston - but I'll be back in Boston the last weekend in August and for two weeks in October; so you New Englanders who have been waiting to book - email me now to book sessions for while I'm in town.
