For 8 years, I was the photographer for the Chilmark Preschool’s photo fundraiser. I am very proud of the body of work that I created over that time, so I’ve been reflecting lately on how important it is to take family photos…

If you’ve been on my website for even a minute, you get the sense that I love babies. I might even be obsessed with babies. This year I even tried the ambitious project of newborn photography with other species…

Whether bold or neutral, simple or elaborate, awake or asleep, my goal is always to deliver timeless photos of your babies as themselves, caught forever at both the smallest they’ll ever be and the biggest they ever have been (yet).

Having a baby on Martha’s Vineyard means always having a chance that you (or the baby) will need to be transferred to a larger hospital on the mainland. After I took my first (terrified) helicopter ride as a committed birth photographer

My ideal client is someone who is up for adventures when it comes to maternity photos….

Birth photography is my heart’s true passion, and I always say the same thing - it is my deepest honor and privilege to join you in the birth space, whether as a doula, or a photographer (or, ideally, both!).

While I love the creative process of my studio newborn sessions, I also find it so special to visit you in your home as you welcome a new baby to the family. These in-home newborn sessions, or “lifestyle” sessions, are more casual, less posed, capturing the real life that is those first early weeks…

I was so excited to help these moms welcome their first baby…

Proving the idea that every pregnancy and every labor experience is different, and that the baby has a wisdom of their own plan that we are not privy to from the outside…

I have been taking photos of families and their brand new babies at Marthas’s Vineyard Hospital to help them update the photos on the wall of the labor and delivery area and to celebrate the Baby-Friendly initiatives that they do…

In common parlance, a “rainbow baby” is a baby born after loss. A rainbow of babies is the spectrum of colors - as part of the process of booking a newborn photo session with me, I invite parent feedback…

If you have a new baby in your family, you know that getting out of the house can be a major adventure...

The first year of life holds so many profound changes - every cliche a deep truth about time speeding by. Your tiny, curly baby unfolds and wakes up, then pauses briefly at sitting before they're crawling, walking, then running (and running from you). A sitter session is for that stopover, that first great muscle leap - that small glorious window in which your baby stays where you put them down, and grins at you.

On a blustery winter day, the storm inside matched the storm outside, and a brand new person was in the world.

Once upon a time, I committed to photograph this baby’s birth. I did not know…

As a photographer on Martha’s Vineyard specializing in parenthood photography, a maternity session is one of my favorite occasions.

This liminal time of in-between, on the cusp of a change that will change everything, is so worth capturing.

I offer two kinds of maternity sessions - either in my studio or outside. There are reasons to love both…

I post most of my birth story photography over on my Martha’s Vineyard Birth Photographer site, but I do like to cross-pollinate my pages. Birth photography is my one true love, and it is always an immense honor and privilege to join families on one of the most important days of their lives and to document the moments that memory will blur.
