Finn at his Finest Baby Portaits in Boston and the North Shore

Love, Love, And you Guessed it, Love.

Thank you for helping us capture a (beautiful) moment in time with our little one. The pictures are wonderful keepsakes of our baby at a time we will never get back. Thinking about what a gift this is tears me up lady.

Thank you again for the most amazing reminder of our happy Finn


So that's from mom after she saw the result of our session with 8 month old Finn. I love it when parents are blown away by what they see when their portfolio is ready.  Just one of the reason's I love what I do.

Maternity Portraits on The North Shore

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE shooting maternity sessions. There is a creativity and elegance to this type of session that kid portraits just don't lend themselves too. I am so inspired when a mother-to-be contacts me and wants to embrace this brief moment in her life. Norma is no stranger to the camera and I was very impressed with her confidence and style. It was a joy working with her and creating such amazing works of art together.  For those of you who are on the fence about maternity photography - give it a second thought. This really is the most precious time in your life. Once the baby arrives the focus will shift from you to them (forever!!) so why not take this time to give yourself a little attention. You deserve it!

Spring Portraits on the North Shore

Well... it took it's time and nearly drove us all crazy but I think Spring is finally here.
 It was wonderful to get outside this past weekend with no less than 4 sessions. I couldn't resist sharing this one of Calvin because his expression just sums up how I think everyone was feeling.

It's amazing how a little sunshine and warm weather can soften even the hardest winter soul. I feel like I can breathe again! Long Hill Estate is as beautiful as ever. I've missed hanging out there looking for Mr Ribit with the kids and watching them jump off rocks. It's such a great place to be.

The spring schedule is super packed but there are a few spaces open as we get into June so if you're still hoping for a spring/summer session now is the time to schedule!

Horizon's For Homeless Children Spring Auction

Once again I was lucky enough to cover the Horizon's Spring Auction. What a venue (State House) and what an event. It was great to see people like Celtic's Chris Wilcox and Congressman Kennedy there supporting this amazing cause!  To learn more about them check out their website!

Introducing make-up options for your session

I could not be more excited to introduce Larissa the amazing make-up artist Spector Photography is now working with. Larissa owns Sparkle, Inc and specializes in on-location make-up. With her skill at HD make-up and air brushing (the newest thing in make-up application) Larissa makes the moms and models just that much more gorgeous.

Think about it. If you're going to invest in professional photographs whether it's family, maternity or boudoir... why not make the most of the occasion!

I love working with Larissa - she's professional, quick but most of all fun and laid back! It's great to have her part of the team.

I am also working with a fabulous hair dresser/make -up artist Allyson Hines who run the salon Biba in Beverly.  I love working with her because she does it all - from 'up hairdos' to false lashes!

So, there you have it two amazing options to make your photo shoot just that much more special. 

Maternity IS sexy

Just TRY and tell me having a baby isn't sexy. Look at Satta - sexy, fun.. she's got it all. I'm telling you ladies - WE ARE AS SEXY AS WE FEEL!!!  This was an excellent session. Satta knew what she wanted, brought fun outfits, had her make-up done by my new make-up artist Larissa from Sparkle (more on her later) and off we went!!  The results were spectacular! 

Framed perfection

You know, so often I get asked "well, what should I do with my new portrait".  Sometimes I think people want to capture their family at a special time but aren't quite sure how to show off the beautiful results. I'm always there to help advise. Gallery wraps are great and so many people love them but sometimes homes don't lend themselves to the contemporary look and feel of a wrap.

Custom framing is a great option for those who want a contemporary feel but want their artwork to work well with what's already on their walls. Framing can be expensive but with Spector Photography you can get your portrait mounted, UV protected and framed (ready to hang) for as little as $100.. wow. 

I'm excited to introduce my newest frames.  Here are just a few. In all we offer over 50 choices so there is something for everyone!

Give a little LOVE

I can't think of a nice or more unique way to tell someone you love them. Think about it. Flowers are nice, chocolates too (can't really go wrong there). Ties and sports gear for the guys, dinner out - yup all great stuff but how long will it last? Not very. Family portraits (or even a Boudoir session) will produce results that will last FOREVER... now that is commitment!

Spector Photography gift certificates are a great idea to give or ask to be given!  They start at $250 and go up in $50 increments.  Valentine's Day, Birthdays Anniversaries, Holidays... the perfect gift!

Not long now

Joyce is due in about a month and her husband is far away, working, but she's embracing every second of this precious time. Our maternity session was great. Joyce loved being in front of the camera and it shows. Such love for little 'Sesame' (as she calls baby-to-be).

I love maternity sessions so much, they bring out a creative side that isn't as possible with the kids. LOVE the kids but with adults we have a chance to play a little more and work together to create something beautiful to share with the baby when he's older. What a gift to give your child!

An intimate moment to start the New Year

This touching moment was my start to the new year. Taken January 1st 2013. 

Is there any wonder I love my job  -  if you can classify what I do as a Job. This is why I do what I do. This intimate moment between Kate and Steve while holding their 11-day old daughter Isla was captured in a split second but they will now have this moment forever to look back on and recall what it felt like to be together sharing the joy of bringing their beautiful baby into the world and starting on their journey as a family.

How could this coming year not be a good one when it starts with such love and hope?
