Spring is the perfect time of year for daffodils, rabbits, and weddings in Rhode Island! Kayleigh and Brian tied the knot at The Chanler at Cliff Walk just as all the florals in Newport were bursting!
This time of year, I always think back to the many visits my family and I made to the Tidal Basin to check out the Cherry Blossoms Festivals and see the blooms. Four years ago, my mom and I went downtown to check out the trees. After driving around for what seemed like an eternity, we found parking. Mom and I waltzed around the sidewalk, took a bunch of photos, visited the Dr. Martin Luther King’s Monument, and enjoyed the rays of sunshine coming down.
Who doesn’t love a little maternity shoot in both a jungle and at the beach? I had a fabulous time with this young couple! Khaoula and I hit it off at once with our connections to Morocco; she being born and raised in Casablanca and my Aunt coming from the same city! I can’t wait to work with them as a family of three in the near future.
Photoshoots that take place at home are an awesome idea on many levels. One’s house is a place of comfort, an escape from the "toils” of the outside world, a home for our pets, and a place of personal expression. For all of these reasons, one’s personal dwelling makes for an excellent location choice for a photoshoot. Regardless of the photographic genre - wedding, engagement, maternity, newborn, family, or content imagery - photographs taken at home are unique. This week, we are discussing six tips to keep in mind for newborn & baby photo sessions that occur at home.

In the summer of 2017, I received the sweetest email from a young high-school student named, Carissa. She informed me that she was a student at Somersfield Academy, she was a big fan of Taylor Swift, and wanted to be a photographer. Carissa was quite firm on the latter; she asked me if I’d be interested in “taking her on” as an intern. I admired her enthusiasm (along with her excellent writing skills) and we linked up for coffee. Thus began her internship! Three years later, this young woman has graduated high school with honors. Carissa is a Freshman at Penn State, studying Photography and Marketing. I am beaming with excitement for her; Carrisa’s going to accomplish great things!
