Have fun and look great!

Playful, fun, energetic, beautiful, contemporary wedding and family photography. My goal for every session is to provide you with beautiful images that were fun to create. I walk away from every session knowing that my clients have had an experience being photographed that was nothing like their expectations. I know... most people find it painful to be in front of the camera. The biggest compliment I can get (and I hear it often :) ) is "That was so much fun!" and "I actually like that picture of me!"
In my thirteen years as a photographer I have seen it all. I have gotten stressed out moms to laugh with their daughters just before a wedding, grumpy grandfathers to sing with me and 18 month old children to stare right in the lens. The result - fun on their faces every time!
If you are looking for a photographer with an upbeat, outgoing personality, get in touch! I would love to hear all about your upcoming wedding or help plan your family photo session. Cheers! - Nicki

Josh’s Celebration | Bar Mitzvah at Three in Franklin MA

Josh is an outgoing and confident young man, and I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to be the photographer for his bar mitzvah celebration.

About an hour before Josh’s bar mitzvah was set to begin, I met with the Tutin family at the temple in Franklin. We did family photos as well as portraits of Josh in front of a bright red tree, and I simply loved the setting—it truly reflected the jovial mood and the excitement of the whole family!

I usually don’t get to photograph any of the bar mitzvah services themselves, but I was able to stay for the formal signing of the certificate as well as for the presentation of the talis by Josh’s grandparents. That was truly an amazing thing to witness!

After that, I met up with the family again at Three in Franklin. While Josh enjoyed the photo booth with his friends, the adults shared conversations over cocktails. Everyone was just so happy to be there!

After the guests were seated, the candle lighting ceremony began. Josh announced each of his family members and friends, and I was able to photograph each group as they came up to light a candle on his cake.

Then, it was time for the hora, and the dance floor overflowed with guests dancing hand in hand while Josh bounced up and down on a chair. What a joy filled way to kick off the fantastic party that followed—everyone danced the rest of the night away!

Thank you, Linda & Mike, for including me in Josh’s bar mitzvah celebration. It was my pleasure to record this momentous event in the history of your family!
