words cannot express how excited i was to meet anna + michael in september. there are times that i book weddings completely over email so it is so nice to be able to have some face to face [well, my masked face] time before the wedding to get a good connection before the big day. to sweeten this first meeting, they brought their adorable pup, arlo. i cannot stress enough how much i love when couples incorporate their four-legged babes into their photography sessions. [ i am a HUGE dog/animal lover, hello have we met?] i also had the opportunity to learn more about their spring 2021 wedding to be held at mt hope farm’s cove cabin…gasp, i love this venue!…anyhoo these two were absolute naturals + i cannot wait for their upcoming nuptials
2020 has been an unprecedent year for all of us. all of my booked weddings were put on hold, rescheduled for less contagious days. while I was still fortunate to be able to 2nd shoot weddings for 2 of my favorite local photographers, lisa of lisa frechette photography[thank you for letting me share some of your wedding images below] + mia of mia campopiano photography, I am absolutely longing to photograph my own weddings again [fingers crossed 2021].
thankfully my year was filled with personal art projects at thecollaborative02885 as well as so many lovely family portrait sessions. oh, you special lovely families, the most enjoyable time I have had masked has been photographing you! thank you thank you thank you!
I even did some pivoting [is this the most hated word of 2020?] with some real estate, restaurant + product photography in order to keep my creative brain working + to try + stay off unemployment.
a huge highlight from this year was the time I spent volunteering at moonrose farm through their csa work share program. while I only have my crappy phone photos [not shared here] from my time there, the memories + life lessons I learned there will never fade:
shop local. support your farmers. be kind. when in doubt get your hands dirty. you can actually eat hard work [that is if you are a farmer or gardener]. we are all connected. tomato hornworms are fascinating + gross.
so without anymore rambling here is my 2020 in pictures:
you’ve made it to the end! thank you for taking the time to look at these images + happy new year!
I have decided to extend my 2020 portrait session special to 2021 because why not + I think we all deserve it.
$200 on-location portrait session for any portrait session booked in 2021!!
*fine print: portrait sessions include anyone from 1 person/pet/thing up to 6 people/pets/things. additional charge for additional persons/pets/things. all high resolution jpegs included with session fee. does not include 7% RI sales tax*
it’s december + i am still doing some outdoor sessions + it only took me just a few minutes to defrost. here are just a few frames of a local singer who is braving the world of music [again]
