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 all started with a husband wanting to surprise his wife for a special birthday with their wedding album + it ended with a beautiful vision art messenger album, a pleasantly surprised birthday woman, + an astronomical postage charge to ship overseas…but i won’t get into that…i was honored to help pull this birthday surprise off + glad that i can finally share some images from the album. there is just something about holding the memories in your hand. i love how everything came out but especially loved incorporating a phrase that was yelled multiple times at their ceremony ‘HELL YEAH!’ as the album cover.
there was a time before covid, i have pictures to prove it + finally have the time to share them with you. teri + mike are 2 of the sweetest people i have had the pleasure of knowing. they married on south cape beach on a very warm + sunny day surrounded by family + friends. then heading off in a vintage car to their reception at the lovely popponesset inn in mashpea. here is their wedding story
