Why are fleeting moments on the Cape so special?

Life is different here.

Not so busy, not so rat-racey. Just calm, like the waves of the ocean. Once you go over the bridge, everything else melts away as you relax into the easy pace of the Cape. Capturing those special moments for your family is the core of my business.

Take a piece of the Cape home with you. You deserve it.

Let's plan a photo session that you can't wait to decorate your home with!

Who am I?

There are so many things I want to tell you about me.

I am the youngest of five children. I'm a mom. I love painting. I love a good beach read with an amazing beach day. Ending summer days with clients on the beach is my dream.

Photography feels like home. It unites my passions for family, being creative, and connecting with people on another level. My favorite part of the session is showing my clients their photos and seeing their reactions to how awesome their family looks through my lens. I literally will sit at my computer and gawk and smile at photos after our session, choosing the best ones to share with you.

I continuously strive to educate and as such I have earned my Certified Professional Photography (CPP) Degree from the Professional Photographers of America. However, I haven't always been a photographer. I’ve also been an advertising executive in New York City and studied business management.

Now that you know a little about me,
I'd love to learn more about you!

xoxo

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?: I recommend wearing comfortable clothes that fit your lifestyle. Don't worry about shoes if we are on the beach. Sandy toes are the best! Some things to think about:

Who is the hardest to dress (fussy toddler, moody teenager? Coordinate around him/her.

Blues and whites are always a classic. Try to stay away from really busy patterns if possible.

Think of the room which your images will be displayed and try to match that mood.
What are the best places to go for our photoshoot?: If you have a place that is special to you and your family then we should go there. I can make the best out of any situation. If you don't have a place I can make some suggestions. The bayside in Dennis and Brewster are among some of my favorite places. There are a few reasons for that. The wind is always a factor - not many people look good with wind-blown hair (unless of course, you are Cindy Crawford). There's also more room to move, therefore less crowding.

I look for places that have dunes, jetties, beautiful sunsets, etc. I like to offer a variety of backgrounds for you to choose from.
How can I make the most of my photo session?: If you have a special situation that you need me to be aware of please let me know. If your child has a funny thing that they do and you want to capture it, that's really important for you to tell me. Most likely I will pick up on it but the more information I have, the better.
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?: I try to build in alternate times to do our session. However, what that means is you might not get a sunset session if I have to cancel due to the weather. But you will still get awesome photos.
My kids are young and they won't make it for sunset photos.: That's ok. I can do a morning session, no problem. I try to do morning sessions around 8 am or earlier just to get around crowding on the beach. If you are staying at an oceanfront home then we can be more flexible.

When I photograph your family I use lighting which means that I can get a good exposure on your family as well as an amazing background any time of the day. If you see a beautiful sky in the background, that is what you will see in your photos. There are no blown-out skies here!
