My oldest "baby" is turning 7 tomorrow. How is that possible?! It seems like yesterday that he was a chubby six month old who never slept and wanted to nurse 24/7. I am going to pick up his surprise cake from @al_runs_on_cake this morning and I can't wait to show him tomorrow! (it might have a golden snitch on it). . . . . . . . . . . . #documentyourdays #lifestylephotographer #bostonlifestylephotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonchildrensphotographer #massachusettsphotographer #mafamilyphotographer #massachusettslifestylephotographer #thepursuitofjoyproject #jj_its_kids #inbeautyandchaos #kidsforreal #childofig #momtogs #cameramama #thelifestylecollective #featurememozi #lifewellcaptured #celebrate_childhood #shared_joy #pocket_family #pocket_sweetness #simplychildren #dearphotographer #darlingdaily #mom_hub #let_there_be_delight #liveauthentic #humansofjoy #clickpromaster 
This has been a challenging week for me in my personal life. Every day has been filled with one emotional challenge after another. Today, I am resisting the urge to bury my head in the sand and cry and choosing to focus on Inauguration Day, the very first step to rebuilding all we have lost in the last four years. Socially distanced hugs to everyone <3 . . . . . . . . #fatherhood #father #fatherhoodunplugged #embracethejourney #makemoments #honestfaceofparenting #massachusettsfamilyphotographer #soulmatepresets #parentsofinstagram #parenthood_moments #parenthood_unveiled #theeverydayproject #theeverydayportrait #treasuringlittlememories #countit_joy #lovingtheordinarymoments #snapfromtheheart #childhoodmemories #childhoodpure #infinity_children #celebrate_childhood #let_there_be_delight #thephotographersnotebook #the_sugar_jar #raw_cuteness #clickpromasterus #clickmagazine #lyndsayhannahphotography #bostonfamily #bostonfamilyphotographer 
How did the process of naming your child(ren) (or pets!) go with your partner? The first time around, we found it pretty easy to decide on a favorite name. The second time was a little more challenging but we rallied at the end a couple weeks before delivery and felt confident. The third time around....picking a THIRD favorite boys name was a big challenge. We were still undecided days before Liam actually arrived. Liam was not #1 on my list, but my husband hated my #1 name. What was your experience? Smooth sailing or a challenge to come to an agreement? . . . . . . . . . #bostonmaternityphotographer #bostonmaternityphotography #bostonnewbornphotographer #bostonnewbornphotography #bostonphotographer #bostonphotography #thebump #expecting #thepursuitofjoyproject #thepursuitofhappiness #bostonbaby #bostonbabyphotographer #massachusettsphotographer #massachusettsmaternityphotographer #lifestylephotographer #massachusettslifestylephotographer #bostonlifestylephotographer #documentyourdays #makeportraits #posttheordinary #evokingyou #32weeks #baby1 #parenthood_moments #motherhoodsimplified #clickpromasterus 
When my friend Melissa first posted the idea for this "REAL motherhood" loop, I was instantly interested. If you've been following me for some time, you know I am all about sharing real stories of motherhood, not only the instagram-worthy moments. The truth is that, when you're a photographer, your eye is drawn to uncluttered images with beautiful compositions, so I naturally photograph with that in mind. But today I am teaming up with a group of talented photographers to show the mess. Because anyone who thinks my house is clean all the time is sorely mistaken. Swipe to see this exact same room in the way I would've photographed it if I wasn't trying to show you the mess. So, if you're ever scrolling IG and feeling like you're failing at mom-ing or housekeeping, just remember that there is most likely a WHOLE OTHER WORLD outside of that tiny frame. * * * {{I've joined forces with some amazing photographer moms who hope to give social media a much-needed reality check and normalize the messiness of parenthood. We are the #hotmessmom loop! Next up is @megbphoto . Go check out her post and leave her some love!}} . . . #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonfamilyphotography #massachusettsfamilyphotographer #dearestviewfinder #my_magical_moments #shared_joy #runwildmychild #wildandfreechildren #talesofthemoment #thepursuitofjoyproject #inbeautyandchaos #takemyheartdear #seeingthepretty #allwhatsbeautiful #motherhoodiscolorful #beyond_motherhood #theheartcaptured #treasured_childhood #clickmagazine #clickpromaster #motherhoodismessy #bostonkids #bostonkidsphotography #framinghamfamilyphotographer 
During the session with these beautiful expecting parents, we were chatting about due dates and how it's impossible to know when your baby is going to decide to come! Google tells me that only 2-5% of women give birth on their actual due dates. I myself was a due date baby and I gave birth to one (out of 3) due date babies. My other two were induced for pre-e though, and I often wonder if they would've been super prompt too! How did your gestations compare to your mothers? Comment below and tell me, I am so curious! . . . . . . . . . #bostonmaternityphotographer #bostonmaternityphotography #bostonnewbornphotographer #bostonnewbornphotography #bostonphotographer #bostonphotography #thebump #expecting #thepursuitofjoyproject #thepursuitofhappiness #bostonbaby #bostonbabyphotographer #massachusettsphotographer #massachusettsmaternityphotographer #lifestylephotographer #massachusettslifestylephotographer #bostonlifestylephotographer #documentyourdays #makeportraits #posttheordinary #evokingyou #thirdtrimester #baby1 #parenthood_moments #motherhoodsimplified #clickpromasterus 
By Thursday afternoon, my kids were reaching maximum levels of pandemic stir-craziness. It was raining but we had planned to go to @wildrobbinsfarm to pick up some eggs and meat and we weren't going to let a little drizzle deter us. An afternoon of saying hi the the goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and farm kittens was exactly what we needed. If you're local (or you just love farm-life) and haven't checked out Laura's instagram, go give her a follow! PS: do you like how I hid my oldest son's ugly Minion pajamas behind these beautiful eggs?

Happy Friday! This week, I got news that a friend of mine is pregnant with her first baby. It brought me back to the days of my first pregnancy which seem to have happened 100+ years ago and how ill-prepared I was for the post-partum aspect. I took prenatal yoga, breastfeeding classes, baby care classes, birth classes...you name it. But post-partum information? Slim to none. Why is our culture so obsessed with pregnancy and then, frankly, negligent about supporting and preparing mothers for what comes after your baby actually arrives? Did YOU feel prepared for your post-partum experience?

I was talking to a friend yesterday about how my head is swimming with all of the behind-the-scenes business tasks that the off-season brings. So many things get put on the back burner during shooting season and now that shooting is lighter, those tasks are at the forefront of my mind. Even though this job may seem seasonal, it's more about prioritizing different things at different times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Welcome to our #happyhumpdayeditingloop We’re a group of photographers with different editing styles and techniques wanting to share and embrace our creative differences.

Taking a break from families this morning to share one of the images I am proud of as I work through a macro class this month. Macro is all about slowing down and noticing the beauty in the tiniest things and I feel like that's what the positive aspects in 2020 has forced us all to do. Extra time at home to slow down and appreciate what we do have rather than always focusing on what we can't have.

Want to know a secret? The light is prettier in the Winter...I don't know the exact scientific explanation for it but because of the position of the sun where we live, it's the *most* golden during golden hour from November through March. If you're a sucker for golden sun-soaked photos like I am and also a hardy New Englander, you should consider an outdoor Winter session! . . . . . . . . . . . #documentyourdays #lifestylephotographer #bostonlifestylephotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonchildrensphotographer #massachusettsphotographer #mafamilyphotographer #massachusettslifestylephotographer #thepursuitofjoyproject #jj_its_kids #inbeautyandchaos #couplesphotography #dogsofig #momtogs #cameramama #thelifestylecollective #featurememozi #lifewellcaptured #celebrate_life #shared_joy #pocket_family #pocket_sweetness #simplylove #dearphotographer #darlingdaily #mom_hub #let_there_be_delight #liveauthentic #humansofjoy #clickpromaster
