Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting Nicole & Glen’s beautiful twins for their birth announcement. Big sister Ellie joined in the shoot and couldn’t have been more sweet. It was an honor to spend some time with the family of five and I was so glad to capture these moments for them. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from the session.

I guess now that I’ve got this thing started, I better keep it going! I began a post a while ago and never got it published, so I’m going to combine a bunch of posts here in one.
These past few months have been very busy! We went to NY for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Grandma and Grandpa Santoro treated Connor, Leah and families to the train show at the New York Botanical Gardens. Dan was in awe of the place and we were both shocked we had never been there before. Note to self: visit the gardens again.
Their website really describes it best: “The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is transformed into an enchanting landscape, wrapped in the glow of twinkling lights. Model trains and trolleys zip along over bridges and on winding tracks past scaled replicas selected from the Garden’s collection of 140 New York landmarks, created entirely from plant parts.”
Needless to say, it was fun to play with some photography in there, though there was a certain amount of “wrangling” involved with bringing an almost-3-year-old. I hope you enjoy some of the photos I took that day, posted below.

It was serene and gorgeous.

Well, it’s finally done! After having a domain registered for over 2 years, I finally asked for help on Craigslist one night and found an awesome web designer to help me put my site together. After a few months of collaboration and much self-editing, I finally have a finished product. It’s been a long time coming and it’s another step towards getting myself some credibility. I hope that this site helps me to promote myself as a professional in the photography and graphic design field and keeps me on track towards continually learning and promoting myself in these areas.
The blog portion of the site is password protected because I will be using it as a journal. Sometimes I will post about new freelance work I have going on, but I will often post my favorite photos of Connor and trying to keep you all in the loop on what is developing for myself and my family up here in Massachusetts! I would love it if you came back and visited often.
For now, I leave you with some of my favorite photos from this fall season. As you can tell, my lens has been gravitating towards Connor and the foliage. I hope you enjoy!
Connor lets me take his photo on the couch.

Connor could have played this game with Grandma for hours!
Thanks so much for checking out the site!
