Well here we are stuck in the middle of winter, with NO SNOW, which is the absolute worst kind of winter. I don’t know about you, but I’m torn between doing a snow dance to get the snow flying around here and just wishing for spring. One thing for sure, it has me dreaming of getting back outside for portrait sessions!

Jaymee’s senior portrait session is an oldie but a goodie. I can’t believe I haven’t shared it before you, because dang look at those eyes! For her session, we were able to combine a classic wide open field with dreamy sunlit grass AND the beach to rock the purple-hued sunset in the waves. It’s the best of both worlds!

We have such a wealth of gorgeous locations on the northshore of Massachusetts, and I work hard to coordinate with each of my clients to select the perfect location(s) to match your vision.

By the time our session was over, Jaymee was a becoming her true self in front of the camera. Just scroll and see!

Enjoy! xo

Meet you at the beach

Ask any photographer about the time of day you’ll find the best lighting, and I bet you one million dollars that the words “golden hour” will come out of their mouth.

What is the golden hour?

It’s the hour that leads up to sunset. This is the time when the sun is the most directional, meaning that it’s not blasting down at you from overhead, creating some nasty raccoon eyes or making you squint. Mid day sun can be harsh and unforgiving. Golden hour has dreamy light, that will make your hair glow from behind and cast warm rays.

Check out below how the sun is lighting up the sea grass behind Ella during her senior portrait session.

An added perk is that the golden hour leads right up until sunset where sometimes we can get some beautiful color in the sky. Be sure to scroll to the bottom to see the sunset casting gorgeous colors across the ocean behind Ella.

Of course, help with picking the perfect time for your session isn’t the only thing I’m good for! There are many other ways I like to coordinate with my clients prior to their session.
