Lynn & George's Farm at Raven Brook Engagement Session
As a Massachusetts engagement photographer, I know that March can be one of the toughest months for natural beauty in New England. Lynn & George hoped for a snow-covered scene, but 2023 turned out not to be the snowy winter we hoped for. Evergreen trees turned out to be the solution!
Lynn and George booked me for their intimate Berkshires wedding and decided that they wanted to do an engagement session as well (which I ALWAYS recommend to my wedding clients - especially those who say they aren’t comfortable in front of a camera). Lynn and I discussed some good options for Massachusetts engagement session locations, and she decided that she wanted to do their session at The Farm at Raven Brook, a Christmas tree farm in Halifax, MA. The staff at the farm was incredibly accommodating. The owner even gave me a tour of the grounds before Lynn and George arrived so that I could scout out some good locations for photos.

Lynn & George hoped for a snow-covered scene, but 2023 turned out not to be the snowy winter we hoped for. Evergreen trees turned out to be the solution! The rows of green trees made for a great backdrop for March in Massachusetts when most of the world looks brown and dead. Lynn and George roamed through the rows and rows of evergreens, the sun-kissed meadows, and the quaint pond on the grounds of The Farm at Raven Brook with me.
Check out some of my favorite images from their Massachusetts engagement session below!
Nancy and MJ's Christmas Card Photos (Queens, NY)
I met Nancy & MJ through the Mets. They are an amazing couple and some of the team’s most die-hard fans. Back in 2015, they spotted me working on the field and pointed out to me that I was the first female team photographer they’d ever seen which they thought was very cool. We’ve been friends ever since and I was thrilled to take some photos for their annual holiday card.

We wandered around the home run apple and found their brick in the Fanwalk. After, we headed over to Astoria Park for a few “less Metsy” photos. These women are truly some of the best people and I had such a great time capturing their their fun personalities and their love.
Eryn and Donnie's Engagement Session (West Village, NYC)
Eryn and Donnie are some of the most fun, effortlessly cool people I’ve ever met. What better place to photograph their engagement session than in the West Village?
Eryn and Donnie are some of the most fun, effortlessly cool people I’ve ever met. What better place to photograph their engagement session than in the West Village? It also happens to be their favorite spot in the city. We spent the afternoon wandering through the neighborhood stopping at some of their favorite bars and coffee shops. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding down in Huntsville, Alabama later this year!
Lela and Paul's Engagement Session (New York, NY)
I met up with Lela & Paul in November for an engagement shoot at a few of their favorite places in NYC. We started in Manhattan at Central Park where the foliage was absolutely at peak color (STILL in November!). We wandered through the park and made our way East to Carl Shurz Park to take advantage of the beautiful bridges and water views. Lela & Paul live in Astoria, Queens so we ended our shoot there and I got to tour some of their favorite local spots, ending the day with cocktails at The Bonnie.
Congratulations, Lela & Paul!
