Every August, I find myself back on Nantucket photographing one of my all-time favorite families — Amy, Brett, and Tate. We’ve done this session for so many years now that it feels like a beautiful tradition, one I look forward to all season long.
Each time I’m there, I get to discover a new corner of the island — a hidden beach path, a quiet dock, a new ice cream shop (I had to throw that in :). This family has truly introduced me to Nantucket’s magic, and I’m so grateful for how our sessions have grown and changed along with them.
It’s one of those sessions that reminds me why I love this work — connection, tradition, and the joy of revisiting a place that feels a little more special each year.
There’s nothing better than photographing a family that truly knows how to have fun—and that’s exactly what happened with Jackie and Brian’s crew in Scarsdale. With Juliette, Daniel, and William racing around full of energy and laughter, I definitely got my steps in and had so much fun doing it!
Jackie and Brian kept right up with the kids. There was some whiffle ball, swing sets, slides, and a whole lot of laughing!
That’s the secret to the best family photos—when everyone relaxes, has fun, and simply is themselves, the genuine smiles and warm connections shine through in every frame.
Thank you all for being so genuinely fun to be with and photograph!
Four generations, one family — all together by the Branford shore.
I loved photographing this crew. It’s not every day you have great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and little ones all in one frame, sharing precious time by the water. Watching them interact — the hugs, the laughs, the way everyone naturally came together — reminded me just how special these moments are.
Life moves fast, but having photos that capture every generation side by side means those connections are never lost. It’s exactly what makes family photos worth taking.
Thank you all for being so warm, welcoming, and fun to photograph. Until the next time!
