As a mom of three, including two teenagers, it’s common for my annual “change of season” emotions to occur every September with the beginning of a new school year. But, as a photographer, I can’t help but notice that spring brings a true sense of renewal.

2021: The Year of Your Stories
As a Boston Family Photographer, I meet a lot of new people throughout the year. We email, chat by phone, and then meet in person for our photo sessions. Because I’m photographing their joyful moments, I hear a lot of personal stories. This year, thanks to hundreds of maternity, newborn, family, and school clients, I heard stories of love, pride, excitement, and joy. There were stories of loss, grief, new beginnings and triumph. And let’s not forget the accomplishments, sibling rivalry, pet antics and more! Read on to see some of my favorite images from 2021… the Year of Your Stories.

Read on to see images from one of my favorite Boston Fall Family Photo sessions.

The person who supports me and every single one of my crazy ideas and big life dreams. The “Gigi” who always makes time to read a book or play games with her grandchildren. (or, in the last year, who made time to play babysitter over zoom when I needed it most!)
The Promise of Your Presence
Maybe it’s the new year or maybe it’s the realities facing us in 2021, but I see – and feel – a lot more than usual when I reflect on the moment I captured this image in this Dad’s home office. I see Presence.
