Autumn Adventure Engagement Session

Carly & Akiva braved the crisp November air with me at the Quabbin and I’m so grateful. From enjoying the view at the lookout to a rocky walk along the water to rolling around in the wild blueberries, these two were all snuggles and smiles.

Engagement Session at Park Hill Orchard

It’s so great meeting local couples and bringing them to one of my favorite spots for enjoying the beauty of Western Mass. Ami and Dom were adorable and were game for every suggestion I came up with. Can’t wait to celebrate with them next year!

Engagement Session in the Lush Green of Summer

I have lived in Western MA for 14 years now, and I still have to just stop and stare when I visit certain parts of the Quabbin Reservoir in Ware. I’m always so excited when my couples are willing to meet me out there, sort of in the middle of nowhere, to soak in the views and make some pretty memories. When I look back on these portraits of Alex and John, I truly feel like they had a good time and that makes me pretty happy.

Hometown adventure engagement session

What a day this was! I met up with Nicole and Vin at Nicole’s parents’ house, where we picked up her dad’s vintage ride and misbehaved on the back roads just a little. Then back to the folks house to have some fun with the family dog, ending the night at a local reservoir where a pink sunset gave us a romantic end to the night. Can’t wait to celebrate these two lovebirds next year!

Maggie and Garrett didn’t tell us about this adorable car until we were finished with the engagement session and saying our goodbyes. The sky was turning pink so we offered to get a few more shots at a more open location to show off the golden light, and of course.. document that whip.
