In case you missed an announcement, I’ve MOVED! I’m so excited about my new space. If you visited me in my old space, you know that it was very draft. It was a 200 year old barn after all. So the new space is wonderful and warm. Just right for sleeping babies…
This summer is here! I love shooting at the beach and local marinas! It brings summer alive! While I enjoy spending days in the sand with my own kids, I love shooting other families in the evenings. Here’s a fun artsy shot from a session at a private marina in Hingham on Tuesday night…
I’ve spent the past few months trying to get the new boutique up and running, while still shooting portraits at Abbey Knoll and trying my best to provide great customer experiences and customer service.
Phew. Im tired.
And I stopped shooting for fun altogether. So my summer resolution is to shoot more artsy photos, like this one, while still operating the shop, shooting family and senior portraits, ohm and newborn and infants too. And did I mention Ive got three kids at home for the summer?
So here’s a fun shot of my friend Dave’s bees. Its so hot today that they are hanging on the outside of the hive to stay cool.
I hosted the {Sassy Boutique} Grand Opening on Saturday night. It was a blast, but boy, my dogs were barking. I was on my feet for about 3 days getting everything ready. I’m so happy that Terri Martini, owner of Front Street Gourmet in Scituate, her friend Natalie, and Tara Hollander, owner of Doorknock Dinner in Norwell, stepped up to help me out with food and bevvies.
Over the last two days, Ive gotten a bunch of positive feedback, and and am so happy about all the buzz. Here are some pics from the big night:

We at the boutique are so excited about our latest vendor, Samantha, a Master Herbalist studying to become a Holistic Health Practitioner. Her love for aromatherapy began when she started her family and wanted to find alternative methods of natural medicine for her children. It developed into a love and passion for creating remedies that help in everyday life.
Whether creating herbal remedy pillows, organic herbal teas, or healing balms, she know she is doing her part in helping make someone’s life greater by sharing my products. She is one of our most remote New England vendors, living in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont in a simple little town.
Stop into the shop to see some of Samantha’s bubble baths, body mists, herbal pillows, teas, … the list goes on!
Here are the photo booth pics from Geek Girl Tech Conference on Saturday at Cape Cod Community College.
What a fun group of women! I had a blast!
Thanks to Gary and Rene for shooting all these pics for us!!
Just click on any photo you would like to see larger.
Also, I’ll post a link when I have the pro headshots posted.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the fabulous new items coming into the shop! You’re going to love these new pieces from the incredibly talented Laurie Green and Kerry Proctor that arrived yesterday!!
Last October I started this new adventure, taking my photography to the next level I rented a shop near my house in a 200 year old barn. It was exciting and new and I spent much of the fall into December painting, prepping and shooting there.
As the year ended and I truly realized how much space I really have, I decide to use the space in another way entirely.
I’m opening a boutique for local crafters and artists!
I put out a call for local jewelry makers, knitters, soap makers, authors, and theyre coming in droves! I have met so many talented people! This exciting new endeavor has taken on a life of its own and the shop is really starting to look like … a shop!
Have a look:
I had such a great time yesterday at the studio with these great kids. The new baby girls are absolutely beautiful!! And their well behaved big brothers are in love with them!
Ive been having a blast with some new babies at the studio! THey are so sweet and sleepy. I love them all, but don’t miss all those sleepless nights and diapers. I’m ok with letting them go home after we’re done with our session 😉
