Heirloom portrait photography is all about preserving childhood in a refined, lasting way. With that in mind, these sessions are intentionally minimal.

This day is exactly why I love Little Compton wedding photography. Lizzie and Jack’s story feels inseparable from Little Compton. They grew up summering here, with families that have been close for years. What started as a childhood connection eventually turned into something more, and once it did, they were “all in.”

Lizzie and Jack’s Little Compton engagement session felt like a perfect reflection of summer along the Rhode Island coast. The shoot captured their story in a way that felt just as meaningful. We had soft, diffused light throughout the afternoon, with rays of sun adding warmth at all the right times.

This Boston family session with the Johnston family was such a special one to capture. I met them at their home in Charlestown to document this sweet season with their six-month-old daughter. From the start, the session felt relaxed, personal, and full of genuine moments.

Summer on Cape Cod brings a certain energy. Sun-filled beach days, salty air, and that unmistakable golden light make a Chatham family photo session feel especially magical. This session with the “H” family captured exactly that.
