Last spring, we celebrated this young woman’s graduation with a portrait session on the MIT campus, her new alma mater. She was embarking on a grand adventure, moving across the country to a new job and it just felt right to commemorate her time here in the Boston area. She is a bright, beautiful young woman with the world ahead of her. We wish her all the best in her journey!

Just had to share all the fabulous details from Mollie and Matt’s wedding at the Crane Estate in Ipswich. For part one, I wanted to focus on the first half of the day, from the getting ready (ie personal details) and the church to just before the reception gets underway.
Mollie prepped at her grandmother’s home (a family tradition in and of itself) where she added special details to her own look and that of her bridal party.
Loving the something blue with the "I do" on her shoes.
And super sweet silver ballet slippers for her flower girls.
Mollie brought up a florist from New York, who also happens to be a family friend, to provide the beautiful floral. Love the shades of pink in her bouquet, as well as the mix of flowers.
Special necklace.
Softness of her veil over her lace wedding gown.
Her wedding gown was a very special choice. And here’s what Mollie had to say about it: "It was actually the same dress Jennifer Garner wore when she got married in The Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Oddly enough that movie was filmed at The Crane Estate." How perfectly fitting!
And we can’t forget the boys. Matt looked dashing in his tux with the white calla lily boutonniere.
The ring bearer had his own look- a deep purple boutonniere for him.
One tradition I hope never dies (though I do love all the variations on this theme) is the lighting of the unity candle. I love that it represents two becoming one, and how it includes both families. Mollie and Matt chose a candle with a monogram.
Traveling in vintage style, Mollie and Matt selected a historic car for their travels.
And at last we arrive at the beautiful Great House.
Congrats to the team of professionals who made Mollie and Matt’s wedding such a success!

For this family, change was part of their DNA. First the couple added their beautiful baby boy to the mix. Then they moved into a new home in Belmont, which they had custom designed. So when all of the changes were complete, it was time to have their portraits made in their new home.
The home offers amazingly beautiful light from oversized windows. We, of course, took advantage of that.
A few tidbits… hands.
Toes.
Tushee.
This little guy is a big ham. Such cuteness.
Smiles for his mom.
I wonder what he is thinking.
Smiles with his dad.
The many faces of our boy.
Mom and dad are into really cool old cars. It’s important to pass on the love.
Not so sure.
One last image… one of my faves. Weighing the baby.
I really can’t get enough of this little guy and his parents. We had so much fun hanging out, celebrating all their new adventures.

Coming together to celebrate a very special birthday, grandma’s 75th, this family wanted to document the three generations in a beautiful portrait. They were having lunch at the Boston Ritz and we figured it would be the perfect place to meet. Plus we had hoped to go to the Commons or the Public Gardens if the weather cooperated. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate, but fortunately the Ritz did. The staff gave us access to their event spaces so we would have some privacy for the portraits. Window light added the beautiful glow. But all of the warmth definitively comes from this family.
To kick things off, the birthday girl…
Love this one.
Such personality.
Total hams. They had been asking to do this for the whole session and we were thrilled for them to finish it off with their daring feat.
