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

Bat Mitzvah | Renaissance Hotel

My profession as a photographer allows me to meet so many wonderful people and capture all their special moments in life. Be it weddings, senior portraits, or family sessions, I enjoy being a part of momentous occasions that bring everyone together. And this is one of the many reasons why I love photographing bar and bat mitzvahs! A coming-of-age ceremony to mark a child’s maturity and official entry into the Jewish community is one celebration I am always honored to photograph.

I photographed Rylie’s sister, Maddy, for her bat mitzvah in 2019, and considering how amazing that experience was for me, there was no way I would have missed the chance of working with this lovely family again. Rylie’s bat mitzvah celebration at the Renaissance Hotel in Foxboro, MA was full of fun, laughter, and dancing. Rylie’s family was so proud to see her grow into this beautiful young lady.

Rylie’s Bat Mitzvah At The Renaissance Hotel

Riley’s bat mitzvah morning was wonderful! I arrived at the Temple Chayai Shalom and found the family getting ready to attend the upcoming ceremony. Rylie looked so grown up in her floral dress and had the brightest smile on her face, though she definitely seemed a bit nervous as she was mentally preparing. But as Rylie’s extended family and guests arrived at the temple, the energy transformed into an exciting and joyful atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves as I captured photos with friends and family in the glorious sunshine. Everyone was there to support Rylie becoming a bat mitzvah.

After the service, I met with Rylie’s family and friends for the reception at the Renaissance Hotel. And I must say, it was a fabulous venue for a bat mitzvah party! The patio outside and the bar area were perfect spots for the adults to congregate and share some laughs. Meanwhile, Rylie and her friends were in the banquet hall enjoying their time to the fullest with games and music led by the incredible DJ from Siagel Productions.

The celebration was the only thing on everybody’s mind and the photos are proof! I enjoyed every second of seeing them having fun and loved photographing all the love-filled moments from Rylie’s bat mitzvah. The dance floor was packed with everyone showing off their best moves. It was one heck of a party! I am so thankful that I was there to capture all of Rylie’s loved ones having a blast and coming together to celebrate her milestone. Mazel Tov, Rylie!
