Tyler, The Creator’s “30 Minutes of Chromakopia” at Converse HQ in Boston 🎤

Ashley & Anthony are a prime example of that trust. Not only have they always been supportive of my art, but they’ve also become dear friends of mine. Getting to witness their love for each other and their loved ones on their wedding day filled me with so much joy!! Y’all don’t even know how many times I had to shoot through my viewfinder with tears in my eyes 🥲

Thank you for everything @lexxikitten @anthonycreary3340 🫶🏽

Still catching up on sharing the shoots I had in late August + September! Here are my favorites from Kiran’s senior session in Walpole :)

Gabriella graduated from Harvard with her Master’s in History of Art and Architecture in 2022 and is currently working on her PhD dissertation. I’ll never get used to how cool it is to meet all kinds of graduates and hear about their passions — this shoot was no exception!

I had so much fun exploring Beacon Hill and the Public Garden with Devin this summer! 🥰

I admire that Devin referenced his musical theatre background with his tap shoes in a few photos, as well as his love for Boston in general. It made the full experience so much more celebratory and personal! 

Thanks @devincurley_ for trusting me with your vision 🫶

Back in August, I had the opportunity to photograph a live table read of Foley Ellis Ibidapo's screenplay "Daddy Mode" at The Rockwell!

It's so inspiring to see stories come to life and be invited to document the creative process. Thank you to Foley, Nicole Hollis-Vitale, and Heather Whitty for having me! I'm excited to see this project continue to unfold ✨

There's something so peaceful about Wellesley College towards the end of summer.

When Gabby asked if we could do her senior photos at a record store in Boston, I was INSTANTLY on board. We did some research and eventually settled on Nuggets Records by Kenmore Square. Gabby brought some of her favorite records to pose with (which were actually some of ~my~ favorites as well!) — Jeff Buckley’s “Grace,” Radiohead’s “In Rainbows,” and Pierce The Veil’s “The Jaws of Life.”

I’m so glad Gabby selected my film add-on too because it perfectly complemented the record store vibe! Photos 11-19 were shot on Portra 400 (35mm).

Couldn’t have asked for a better first photo shoot in a record store 🖤🎵

Just by swiping through this set, you can probably tell Ayla & Olivia had me smiling through pretty much our entire shoot!! It's not often that I do senior portraits of twins, but it's always so special when I get the opportunity 💕

Branding photos at Borderland for the lovely Marelin last month ☀️

My favorite photos from Greta’s senior session last month 📷✨

It’s been really fun to photograph so many siblings of past seniors lately! Greta is the youngest, and I took her two older sisters’ photos in 2019 and 2021. It’s crazy how fast those years went by :,)

Young Miko, born María Victoria Ramírez de Arellano Cardona in Puerto Rico, quickly rose to fame after the 2022 release of her debut EP, Trap Kitty, and her 2023 single, “Classy 101.” Fast forward a couple of years, and Young Miko has attracted a dedicated international fanbase — largely attributed to her endearing charisma, colorful aesthetic, and open celebration of her lesbian identity. 

No matter the subgenre, there’s always something uniquely electric about Latin American live music. That was certainly the case for Young Miko’s show at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion last week. This was the 19th show of “The XOXO Tour” in support of her debut studio album Att., and it was full of Young Miko’s signature playful outfits and charming mannerisms.

The show opened with Young Miko behind a translucent veil covering the stage from top to bottom, sitting on a bed as she started singing “rookie of the year” from her new album. Once the second song began, “oye ma,” the veil lifted and revealed a thick blue curtain behind the stage and a large, light-up Tamagotchi prop that read “XOXO 2024.” 

Young Miko’s full setlist consisted of 28 tracks, including her popular collaborations on KAROL G’s “DISPO,” Tainy’s “COLMILLO,” and Bad Bunny’s hit “FINA.”

Highlights from Longy’s teacher education course last month 🎻

Thank you for having me @longymusic!

Some summer portraits with my childhood friend Ceci + her friend Camille.

Seeing my coverage of Usher's TD Garden show on the front page of ECHO's site today brings me so much joy! 📷

From the moment I officially got into concert photography, I knew I wanted to shoot at most of the major music venues in Boston — including TD Garden. I didn't know how I'd accomplish that exactly, but the day came much sooner than I expected. I'm honestly still processing that it happened, but I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity and very proud of my work!

A few months ago I was invited back to MHS photograph their 2024 recital — this time with new ’n improved stage lights ✨

A large part of the experience I have today is thanks to groups like this one, who’ve graciously welcomed me into their space since 2016. Some of my fondest high school memories are from after-school rehearsals and the yearly recitals, and it’s especially meaningful when most of the dancers and crew have been my friends (or siblings of friends). So thank you to Stephanie Copice and everyone at Terpsichore for supporting my work all these years! It’s always a pleasure to come back and support the local arts 🩷

This was my 6th photo session with the Beatrice family! Every time summer rolls around, I get so excited for our annual shoot! Doesn’t matter where we meet — I know our hour together will have tons of heartwarming, silly, and unexpected moments 🥰

This time we met at the Boston Public Garden. So much to explore and see! Flowers, willow trees, and of course, the ever-exciting squirrels, ducks, and geese 💕

Sometimes it's worth waiting till the last minute to see if the rain passes. It was certainly worth it for this serene lakeside shoot with the Devasto family ✨
