WHAT
TO EXPECT

Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or celebrating your engagement, these sessions are such a special opportunity to slow down, be present with each other, and capture your relationship exactly as it is. As a Boston-based engagement photographer, my goal is to create meaningful, timeless images that reflect your connection: candid, joyful, and completely you. These sessions are some of my favorite because they are so customizable. Want a session on a rooftop? Diner? Local ice cream shop? Let's do it! These sessions are meant to capture you and love as authentically as we can.

I’m not just here to take pretty photos - I’m here to guide you through the experience. From helping you choose the perfect location in New England to offering outfit ideas and prompts that feel natural, I’m with you every step of the way. My focus is on creating authentic engagement photos that preserve this chapter of your love story in a way that feels effortless and real.

When should we schedule our engagement session?

Can we choose the location?

how long is the session?

How Do I Book A Date?

i want to propose to my partner, can you help me?

Couples typically schedule a session 6–9 months before the wedding if they want to use the photos for stationery. But if you just want photos, I'm down to photograph you anytime! Fall in New England is beautiful, but I am comfortable photographing during any season. Sunrise and golden hour have especially beautiful light.

How Do I Book A Date?

Yes! You can choose a meaningful spot (like where you had your first date) or I can suggest my favorite engagement spots in Boston, the North Shore,  or even elsewhere in New England. I'm always down for a spot that uniquely reflects your relationship. Locations over an hour from Worcester, MA may require an additional travel fee.

Yes! Surprise proposals are so special, and it's always an honor to be involved in capturing such an important milestone. I'll help you plan a perfect location, time, and even a cover story if you need one! After the proposal, we'll soak in the moment with some portraits.
