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! 🎓

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 :)

When Ricardo reached out to me about grad photos, I just knew that working with him would be so fun and creatively fulfilling! He wanted his photo session captured on a full roll of 35mm (as opposed to just the handful of frames I offer as an “add-on”). I was instantly on board, obviously 🫡

I’m grateful to be at a point in my career where my portfolio attracts people who want to create something unique, or just confidently be themselves. James was one of those people ❤️🎓 

I didn’t realize until after we’d wrapped up our shoot, but I actually photographed James once before at @vrocc’s Viva Mexico Festival in 2023! I love “small world” moments like this, and it only made this collaboration that much more special :) 

Felicidades @jgxe_ 🥳

BTS photos for @sspeakup.ba! 🎥

Back in August, I had the opportunity to photograph a live table read of Foley Ellis Ibidapo's screenplay "Daddy Mode" at The Rockwell!

It's so inspiring to see stories come to life and be invited to document the creative process. Thank you to Foley, Nicole Hollis-Vitale, and Heather Whitty for having me! I'm excited to see this project continue to unfold ✨

When Gabby asked if we could do her senior photos at a record store in Boston, I was INSTANTLY on board. We did some research and eventually settled on Nuggets Records by Kenmore Square. Gabby brought some of her favorite records to pose with (which were actually some of ~my~ favorites as well!) — Jeff Buckley’s “Grace,” Radiohead’s “In Rainbows,” and Pierce The Veil’s “The Jaws of Life.”

I’m so glad Gabby selected my film add-on too because it perfectly complemented the record store vibe! Photos 11-19 were shot on Portra 400 (35mm).

Couldn’t have asked for a better first photo shoot in a record store 🖤🎵
