Grad photos for my friend and fellow photographer Sophia!

It’s always a special experience when I’m trusted to take another photographer’s portraits. Photographers carry their own instincts and preferences, and we spend so much time thinking about light, perspective, and storytelling. So when someone who understands the craft trusts me enough to take their photos, it’s a genuine privilege.

Thank you again @.sophieriviello! And congratulations! 🎓

MARIS at Brighton Music Hall ⭐️🌈

Oh, how I miss this show! Here’s part 1 of my photos of Caroline Kingsbury co-headlining at Brighton Music Hall with MARIS ⚡️🌈

So many favorites from Jaxon’s senior session! Ft. Felix 🐕

My favorites from Anna’s senior portrait session! We started at the Boston Public Garden, walked through the Boston Common, and ended with some night photos in the Theater District.

I’ve gotten very lucky this year with so many seniors who’ve specifically asked me for dreamy portraits. Fiona was one of those seniors! 🌟

My favorites from Maya’s senior session 📚🌳✨

twenty one pilots at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY.

Almost 10 years ago, I stood in front of my high school photography class and gave a presentation on photographer Brad Heaton’s work from when he was on tour with twenty one pilots. Brad’s and Reel Bear Media's work sparked my love for live music photography. It pushed me to think outside the box and create from a place that's uniquely mine, no one else’s.

I remember borrowing my family’s little point-and-shoot camera and bringing it to my first-ever twenty one pilots concert in 2016. At that point, I could only dream of photographing them up close, but creating photographs of them to any extent left me ecstatic. Every single time I had tickets to see them live, I’d bring that camera. My devotion to photography in general stemmed from the desire to translate experiences and feelings into visual art, and I felt the exact same way about documenting live music. Fast forward to today, and I can only imagine little me's face if I could tell them I was finally approved for a photo pass to shoot my favorite band!

I feel immensely grateful for everyone and everything that has helped me get to this point in my creative career. On my train ride home the next day, I was hit with the sweetest sensations of gratitude and security. I was finally processing the adrenaline rush of the night prior, and it felt like a great big hug from the universe, reminding me that I was meant to do this. I also thought about how, though this accomplishment feels like it happened out of nowhere, none of it happened overnight. It’s been years of late nights, learning from my successes and mistakes, and creating simply because my soul loves it. Standing in that photo pit last weekend, photographing a band that once reminded me to keep going, felt like every ounce of that persistence led me right where I was meant to be

If it weren’t for the obvious greens, you probably wouldn’t know that we shot these portraits in the middle of August. (They feel more like early fall to me!) Daniella looked effortlessly cool though, and I loved her outfit choices 🌟 

Part 2 with Laurianny 🌊 

Some thunder and lightning started to roll in during the last half hour of our shoot, which gave us such a cool blue-hour sky! 

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite sets of senior portraits I’ve ever delivered 🩵 — so much so that I’m splitting up my posts into two parts. Here’s part 1! 

I hadn’t done many beach shoots until this year, but I really enjoyed trying something new! I always say that some of my favorite locations are the ones I’d never been to before, and that’s because they motivate me to rely less on muscle memory and more on perception. The fact that Laurianny added film to her shoot and was looking for a more cinematic look in general also made this experience a memorable one :) 

The North American tour Twin Peaks: Conversation With The Stars is reuniting select cast and crew members of the hit television series to share behind-the-scenes stories, meet with fans, and pay tribute to David Lynch with a dedicated video. Appearances include Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran), Harry Goaz (Andy Brennan), and Sabrina S. Sutherland (Executive Producer and longtime friend of David Lynch). Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) will also join for a handful of tour dates on the West Coast only.

It'd been a while since I last did a shoot in the Fenway area, so thank you to Chloe for selecting it!

Lots of opportunities to make dreamy portraits at the Fenway Victory Gardens and Kelleher Rose Garden 🌹⛲️🌳

With every new season of high school senior portraits, I ask myself what I can do to approach things differently. The last thing I want is to find myself applying the same formula to every single shoot. I want to show up for each person who trusts my vision, and meet them halfway: somewhere between my creative impulses and their unapologetic personality. Lately, that means seeking out backdrops, poses, and compositions that I haven’t tried before, which has been very rewarding!

When Jane reached out to me last spring, she was looking for something natural yet colorful. And while I’m not against working under cloudy skies, I am so happy we got such beautiful sunlight! ☀️
