hannah & the grads
Sounds like a band, right? Hannah just recently graduated from Boston College and wanted to do a shoot with all her long time BFF’s from high school who (of course, because pandemic) are all currently living back at home. No time like the present! Hannah has been one of my earliest bsquared muses- I just love taking her picture, and this shoot was no exception. We were originally going to shoot at the beach, but literally as soon as we all got there it started raining and was so windy. So we flew (Hannah drives like a lunatic like me, just another reason to love her!) back to town for a shoot in the park with no rain or wind. Glad we got it in before we lost all the light. What a super fun way to celebrate your graduation and your besties!!

lewis’s senior session
This year’s seniors have had SUCH a raw deal with absolutely everything, so I’m extra happy to be able to photograph them this year to commemorate all of their achievements- regardless of a pandemic. Lewis is a high school graduate and brought along his family for a few shots too. He has worked at the adaptive ski program at Mt. Snow for a few years now, helping kids and adults with special needs to experience and enjoy skiing. Since we have no snow (not like i’d enjoy shooting in that weather anyway!) in June in NY, we went totally opposite and had his session at the beach. Help show Lewis your support on his hard work by leaving him some well earned congrats. Also, his sister Cayla (who’s bat mitzvah I shot last year) has been thru the ringer the last few days with some major medical issues. So leaving the whole family some messages of support I’m sure will be much appreciated. Congrats Lewis!!

jack graduates wake forest
So today, Jack graduates from Wake Forest University. Just like everyone else on this planet who is graduating from anything this year, this is not the celebration we had in mind. We would’ve all been at Wake to celebrate but instead we are going to be watching a virtual graduation at 7pm tonight. All these changes suck (those of you who know me know I don’t do well with change. “change is bad. we fear change.”) and are very disappointing for Jack I’m sure, but he doesn’t seem to mind all that much. I think he’s more disappointed in not being able to spend the rest of his “senior” year with his friends and taking his actual in person classes. They have rescheduled real, in person graduation to October and if that doesn’t work, to next May. So we’ll just hold onto that I guess.
I tried to make it as special as I could here without going too insane.
And despite all of the changes and let downs caused by the pandemic, it can’t dull how totally proud we are of Jack! Graduating in THREE years, with honors. He’s super motivated, smart and has a bright future ahead. Love that kid!! (he let me take some pictures, reluctantly because photographers kids syndrome, but at least there will be a few to remember this craziness).

erin’s dance photos
Although I’ve known Erin’s mom since high school, this is my first time meeting and photographing her. Erin needed some photos (headshots and dance) for her college applications this year. She was poised, sweet and graceful- a great combination! Wishing her the best of luck with her college process this year!

jack & patrick graduate
I’m a very proud mom. Four years of hard work, commuting by train (and subway, and bus, and taxi), learning SO much and becoming men for others. Regis High School was an amazing experience and one I’m so glad they had. They are so different than they were when they started. Some pictures from the day yesterday.
The 6:32 crew. All the RVC guys who took the train together for 4 years.
The seniors from the Regis Baseball team.
Happy. and Happier.
