If you’re from Maine and you’re looking for a beautiful spot for a photoshoot, I can’t recommend the Viles Arboretum enough! With spring coming up I can only imagine the beautiful colors that will start to bloom.

It’s incredible to look back at all the shoots I did despite it being one heck of a crazy year! I can’t thank all my clients enough for the support in booking sessions or for simply following along with my journey and sharing it with your friends and family.

I am at the risk of oversharing this session to the max so I figured it was time to blog it. These four were a breeze to work with. It was a gloomy day but you would never know if you didn't look outside. Shameless plug for another reason to love in home sessions - you don’t have to worry about bad weather! We danced, cuddled ,read books, ate noodles, and jumped A LOT and it all was so much fun to capture.

This laughter-filled Portland family portrait session was full of snuggles and smiles! This is one of my favorites from last year.  The Bravo family was so easy to work with and made it so easy to capture the real and raw moments. I've done a few more sessions with this sweet family (stay tuned!) and there is equally as much snuggled and smiles every time!
