“Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.“ 🌲🦉☕️

If you know me, then you probably know that when a world profoundly speaks to me, it’s only a matter of time before I’m completely entranced — hungry to uncover its darkest secrets and interpretations for myself. I begin to live and breathe it: soundtracks rule my everyday, faces seeping into my dreams until I have no choice but to create something of my own. David Lynch’s world of Twin Peaks has that effect on me.

It almost feels silly to admit, but I’ve always been fascinated by darkness: in its simplest visual form, but also in all its unknowns. It can be intoxicating, sometimes comforting, and it can tear you apart. I knew Twin Peaks would change the trajectory of my creative process when Agent Dale Cooper not only listened to the dark of his dreams, but was not afraid to make it known.

Reality has rules, but spirituality appears to and through us in countless forms. It’s hard to imagine one could describe their strangest dreams to every brain on earth and expect them all to understand with flawless clarity. In my own life, there is still so much of my interior world that I haven’t explained to people. I know it’s primarily for me, even when that space can be absurd beyond articulation. But since Lynch’s passing, I feel encouraged to translate those interior experiences, regardless of their making sense. After all, Lynch was well aware of life (and thus art) not always making sense.

His messages, both visual and verbatim, remind me that each of us are worlds — universes full of weird and wondrous visions. If I’ve internalized anything from his filmography, it is that visions deserve to live.

Congratulations to Hanna & Adam! Truly a lovely evening capturing this moment for them among the twinkling lights and snow 🥰✨

Matt and I braved the cold for his senior portrait session in Seaport back in December — so worth it! Especially for those sunset shots 🌇

This past season of senior photos, I spent more time at the Public Garden than any other year! I completely get why so many seniors want to have their photos taken here. It’s so serene all year round ☺️

If you’re familiar with the edgy, yet endearing style of pop band MUNA, then you likely wouldn’t be surprised by lead vocalist Katie Gavin’s incredible versatility. 

Last week, the singer-songwriter and musician brought her very first headlining “What A Relief” tour to Brighton Music Hall — in promotion of her debut solo album under the same name. 

During her December 14th stop in Boston, MA, Katie Gavin radiated an intimate, cozy energy from the moment she stepped on stage. At both corners of the stage were two small tables, adorned with an assortment of glowing salt lamps, candles, and two mugs, in which Gavin ceremoniously poured steaming tea from a strawberry-red pot. It all felt warm and intentional. 

Gavin began her set with “Today,” a tender, melodious track about loneliness — and yet Gavin’s vocals and steady acoustic guitar made the space feel otherwise. This opening track along with the rest of her setlist have an atmospheric quality that invites you to listen closer and feel deeper. If Katie Gavin’s new solo venture has shown us anything, it’s that true artists stop at nothing to defy expectations and tell their stories however they feel is most authentic to their unraveling self-discovery.

Being a senior portrait photographer means that, from time to time, I have the privilege of photographing siblings through the years.

Year 5 of photos with the Fallon family! Plus our yearly leaf throwing pic :)

Ramsey’s senior portraits at Borderland State Park back in November 🌲

Last year’s senior portrait season was a memorable one — partly because I had the opportunity to do so many added family photos!

When Mariyah first reached out to me, she told me how important her family and friends are to her as she works through her last year of high school, and that she couldn’t imagine getting her senior photos taken without including those who’ve supported her along the way. 

Although it was quite cold that afternoon, we got lucky with some gorgeous golden sunlight 🥰☀️

Thanks again @.mariyah.reyes for having me document all the love! 🧡

My first time doing a photo session here since 2020! 

Lindsey and I caught the last bit of foliage at Tangerini’s Farm for her senior portraits. I loved getting to hear about the film she’s directing, as well as share some of our favorite movies! 

One of the best parts about this job is the opportunity to help others visually translate the magic of their night 💫

I was able to do exactly that for @daouvineyards and @martignetticompanies’s Masquerade Party at @marielunderground! Truly a beautifully coordinated night, plus I got to shoot it alongside my friend @lensofbhumika ☺️

Senior portraits with @ari569_ at Wellesley College! Such a beautiful location all year round 🍂
