I have a tradition with my family of going downtown for Boston First Night, and we’ve only missed one or two since I was a baby. I always bring my camera, and it’s a real challenge to get good photos, considering how dark it is and how much commotion there is, so I’m always happy […]
I took my friend Meridith to the Stone Zoo in Stoneham to see the Zoo Lights for her birthday, and it was so magical! I’ve always loved holiday lights, and they completely transformed the zoo. It was like a fairy world with all sorts of creatures. I’ve always loved night photography, and I had fun […]
At the birthday party I recently photographed, there was an amazing cake artist names Cher. She was a delightful cupcake bar, and the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes. She does incredible custom-made cakes for weddings, birthdays, and more! I made sure to get some nice photos for her, I love supporting other independent […]
I was lucky enough to photograph a birthday party for a friend which was basically a mini renaissance fair and magic festival! It was the first paid gig I got to do while dressed as a fairy, which I wish I could do more. There was music, magic tricks, kids having “battles” with foam swords, […]

The mom, Paula, makes amazing cookies and cakes! She made custom bear treats and decorations, since they call their son Ollie-Bear. They also added […]
My fellow feminist artist Gabrielle Peck hired me to photograph an amazing event she put together called the Feminist Fiber Art Fairy Festival at the Democracy Center. It was a blast! It was wonderful to be in such a creative atmosphere. People were selling their art, but they could also make art. There was a […]
I recently got to photograph the Chocolate Madness event at the Cyclorama in the South end of Boston last month. The event is put on by NARAL (National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League). They do work supporting abortion rights and connecting people with resources. I’ve been working with them for a couple years, and […]
Every year, I go to a summer festival called Lughnasadh in Vermont in August. We play games, run workshops for each other, dance around fires, drink homemade mead, and generally have a great time! It’s a wonderful community, and I love photographing them every year! It’s nice to have a place where I can take […]
Every couple months, I go to a meet up or training with Socializing for Justice (SoJust for short). I’ve learned some great tips about networking, branding, social media, freelancing and more! Check them out: Twitter Facebook Meetup
