Self doubt is crippling and I know from experience. I still struggle with low confidence or just an abundance of cloudy moods. It happens. It’s life. It’s real and we all deal with it in different ways. In past blog posts, I have always explained my leading “WHY” factor on why photography is so important to me. What I really enjoy about the craft is helping people with their self confidence. I resonate with people looking to better themselves and I am here to help capture their authenticity & uniqueness in the brightest light. A new friend of mine reached out to me sharing her New Year’s resolution of self love & body positivity. “I want to feel more confident” says Annie and after those simple words it was an automatic connection. We spent the morning shooting in a rustic field behind the Newport Vineyard, reminiscing on childhood memories and the power of small influences. We captured some amazing photos. Annie was such badass. I just wanted to send a reminder to everyone reading. If you are looking for a similar boost of confidence and need to see yourself in a new light, contact me directly and we can discuss. These photoshoots can end up being the small therapeutic experience you are looking for. 

I have always and will forever be obsessed with vibrant colors. A few years ago, I photographed my friend Nora with neon lighting and was immedialy attracted to the effect. So when it was time to shoot my annual collaboration with Kelsey Morgan, it was an obvious direction for me. More lights, more color! Kelsey Morgan & Alexandra Walsh took the 60’s approach with the hair & make-up. Lastly, Bohemian Bias always provides the best wardrobe & accessories. 

If you are interested in a photoshoot like this for yourself, don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

I have known Derek for over a decade! Wow. His sister is one of my best friends, just over 15 years in the making. Derek and his beautiful bride Savanna hosted their quaint wedding at The Landing in Newport RI. It was a chilly November evening, but hearts were warm and the love was 100% in the air. I teamed up with Anna Saxon of The Shutter and The Sea to capture this wedding. Here is a recap of the special day. 

I love shooting small weddings, so please contact me directly to discuss process, rates, and book your special day! 

The Mooring has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Newport and when I was asked to photograph their Executive Chef Jennifer Backman, I almost spit my coffee all over my computer. If it wasn’t 9:00 am in the morning, I would of stayed for their Bag of Donuts. Ughhhhh, delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Jennifer Sunderland inside the Edward King House in Newport, RI. Jennifer has spent about 12-ish years producing artist & maker events, with a goal to always provide shows where artists and makers will thrive. 

She is looking to launch a business that will focus on organizing & planning community based events, like non-profit fundraisers and artist & maker shows. Some recent projects she has been involved in include, Broadway Street Fair, The Edward King House’s Mayor’s Masked Ball & Benefit, Broadway Holiday Walk-About, Hibernian Pop-Up, The Tiverton Four Corners Winter’s Arts & Artisan Fair, and The New England Outdoor Living & Garden Show.
