    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!!

    julia’s senior session

    I was so excited when Julia’s mom contacted me about a senior session for her girl. I had shot Julia’s Sweet 16 about two years ago (wow, that went fast!!) and now she just graduated high school. She’s gorgeous and smiley and sweet as ever. Julia brought along her boyfriend so you know I had to include him a few shots too (even though he’ll be off to Notre Dame in the fall and you know I can’t like that. I still like him though, he’s a great kid!!). She’ll be off to Sacred Heart University in the fall, so please wish her some good luck and fun at school! I know she’ll do great things!

  • personal & corporate branding {headshots}

    bailey

    My longtime friend’s niece, Bailey just graduated from the college theater program at Hofstra and needed some headshots for auditions. Well, for auditions if there were EVER auditions anymore. But I guess/hope someday there will be again, and that Bailey will get a few great parts and fulfill her dreams. She said that someday she’d like to do theater production and management so look for her in some theater aspect doing amazing things in the future. It was a super fun shoot and Bailey was great to work with! She took direction and didn’t balk at any of my bizarro ideas or requests.

  • beach,  children & families

    the palm family

    It’s been a while since I last photographed this crew, but when I was doing my little pandemic project over on fb (just posting a bunch of really old bsquared client’s christmas cards I came across while cleaning out the office) this family was one of the ones “featured”. I guess that spurred mom on to get some updated pictures before her oldest leaves for college as a freshman in the fall. I was so happy to see them and hang out with them for a little while on a lovely evening at the beach. Oh, and to take some pictures too! Thank you to A for having me capture your beautiful family again after all these years!

  • children & families,  communions

    dylan’s 1st communion {make-up}

    I feel like every post now begins with “because of the pandemic” so, yeah. Because of the pandemic, all communions that were supposed to be in the spring were canceled and therefore all of the shoots that went along with them were also canceled. But some of my clients didn’t want to wait for the rescheduled communion dates (it was only recently announced they’re now going to be in october) and opted to do the shoot now. With kids growing like crazy, who knows what suits or dresses may fit by October! Dylan was a trouper for our session (he is not a fan of photos) but i even got the “hey, how YOU doin” eye for one! Which is of course my favorite!!
