2020 was quite the year, but not in the way that any of us had imagined when it began. Rather than the exciting year we all had planned, we sheltered in place, wore masks, sanitized, quarantined, and found new ways to manage our daily lives in the midst of a global pandemic. The event industry was hit so incredibly hard, with most of us losing nearly our full calendar of weddings and events. It was a punch to the gut every time we read about another small business that had to close down because they were not able to weather this seemingly never-ending storm.
Smolak Farms Wedding {North Andover, Massachusetts Wedding Photographers} Aundie & John
Aundie and John's day started out with not one...but two first looks! And neither of them were between the Bride and Groom! John was able to sneak over to see his daughter Lily for the first time and surprise her with a special gift before the wedding, and then Aundie shared a moment with her Dad before the wedding also! It was such an amazing opportunity to witness these special moments with this family. One day John will be seeing Lily for the first time before her wedding, just like Aundie and her Dad, so this moment gave me ALL THE FEELS!
North Andover Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographers} Megan & Jeff
It’s always a pleasure when we get to work with old friends. Anthony and I both graduated from high school with Jeff and Megan (granted the guys are 4 years older than us ladies). Anthony has known Jeff since the 5th grade and they were on the track team together at Methuen High School and Megan and I went to Central Catholic together. Even though Central Catholic and Methuen High are bitter rivals, the four of us have proved that it’s possible to put our differences aside and fall in love {Even though CCHS is obviously superior}.
Smolak Farms Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographers} Lindsey & Justin
I had the pleasure of joining Lindsey and Justin for a photo shoot at one of my favorite locations, Smolak Farms in North Andover, MA. We were very fortunate that evening, narrowly dodging a rain storm that ended just minutes before the shoot. Smolak farms was as beautiful as ever and Lindsey and Justin were naturals in front of the camera…but the real MVP was their cute little pup, Ford, who joined them in a few shots.
Stevens-Coolidge Place, North Andover MA Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Session} Erica & Rob
Having to reschedule a session due to a rainy day is usually never a good thing, except when the new session just so happens to have the most beautiful sunset we have seen all year! That's exactly what happened for Erica and Rob's Engagement Session at Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover, MA.

Rolling Ridge, North Andover MA {Massachusetts Family Photographer} The Good Family
I've had the pleasure of knowing Cynthia and her family for over four years now, and I was thrilled when she reached out wanting to schedule a photo session for her family! She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know, and she has the sweetest family imaginable. We met up with them on a chilly November morning at Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center in North Andover where her and Alan had gotten married many years earlier.

Weir Hill North Andover, MA Family Photos {Massachusetts Family Photographer} The Tremblay Family
It has been several years since we first met with Samantha and Tom to discuss their wedding photography. Since then, we have been there to capture their engagement session, their gorgeous spring wedding, as well as two other weddings they have been in! Their family grew last year when they welcomed their beautiful twins, Mikey and Maddie, and we were thrilled to finally get the whole family in front of our camera!
Weir Hill North Andover, MA Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographers} Colleen & Justin
Colleen and Justin picked the perfect fall morning to get their engagement photos done at Weir Hill in North Andover, MA. The foliage was beautiful around every path we took with vibrant reds and oranges. We had a great time walking around the gorgeous beach and trails, and were constantly greeted by some of the happiest dogs ever!
Stevens-Coolidge Place Family Photos {Massachusetts Family Photographer} Lila & Kaylee
We were lucky enough to spend a perfect Spring evening with these two adorable sisters at the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover. This historic home is surrounded by pristinely kept lawns, old brick walls covered in ivy, and gardens in bloom with surprises around every corner. Before the session, we walked around and snapped some pics of the beautiful home. Once Lila and Kaylee arrived, we made our way through the gardens.
