Simply Me
Because you don't need a special occasion to celebrate the person you already are.
Some of the most meaningful photo sessions have nothing to do with weddings, engagements, or family milestones. Sometimes the reason is much simpler.
You.
Maybe you've spent years putting everyone else first. Maybe you're celebrating a birthday, a new chapter, a personal accomplishment, or simply the woman you've become. Maybe there isn't a reason at all—other than wanting to remember this season of your life and see yourself the way the people who love you already do.
Simply Me is about slowing down long enough to celebrate yourself.
This isn't boudoir photography, although it certainly can feel elegant and empowering. It's not about being someone else or pretending to be a model. It's about creating beautiful, timeless portraits that reflect your confidence, your personality, and your unique beauty. Think of it as an editorial-inspired experience that's relaxed, natural, and completely centered around you.
Newport provides the perfect backdrop for portraits like these. From the gardens surrounding the historic mansions to the rocky coastline, quiet beaches, Cliff Walk, and charming downtown streets, we'll choose a location that matches your style. Whether you're dreaming of windswept ocean views, romantic architecture, blooming gardens, or classic New England charm, we'll create images that feel effortlessly beautiful.
If you'd like to make the day extra special, I'm happy to recommend wonderful local hair and makeup artists who can come to you before your session. If styling feels overwhelming, I'll also help guide you with wardrobe choices so you arrive feeling comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.
One of my favorite Simply Me sessions was with a woman visiting Rhode Island from Florida. She and her fiancé were in Newport for a work conference, and in the middle of a trip that largely revolved around his schedule, he surprised her with a portrait session that was just for her. I thought that was incredibly thoughtful. For one afternoon, she wasn't attending meetings or supporting someone else's career—she was simply celebrating herself. Watching her confidence grow throughout the session was every bit as rewarding as creating the photographs.
I truly believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful in front of the camera. You don't have to wait for a wedding, an engagement, or someone else's milestone. Your story matters too, and this chapter deserves to be remembered.
Let's create photographs that remind you of exactly who you are—strong, beautiful, confident, and wonderfully, unapologetically yourself.
MEET THE KLIMEK'S
Thirteen Years of Summer Traditions, Family Memories, and Watching Children Grow
Some of my favorite client relationships aren't measured by the number of photographs we've taken—they're measured by the years we've shared together.
For the past thirteen years, I've had the privilege of photographing the Klimeck family during their summer vacations. Year after year, they return to their beautiful summer home in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where we capture another chapter of their family's story before heading to one of their favorite places in the world—Bakers Beach!
Bakers Beach isn't just another beautiful backdrop. It's a place woven into their family's history. Mom spent her summers there growing up, and now she's creating those same cherished memories with her own children. Watching those traditions continue from one generation to the next is something truly special, and it's an honor to preserve those moments through photographs.
Looking back over thirteen years is almost surreal. I can hardly believe the oldest two—twins who I remember photographing as children—are heading off to college this fall. It feels like just yesterday they were running barefoot across the beach, and now they're beginning an entirely new chapter of their lives. It is such a beautiful reminder of just how quickly childhood passes and why these photographs become more meaningful with each passing year.
Being invited back year after year is one of the greatest compliments I can receive as a photographer. It means I'm not just documenting a single afternoon—I'm helping preserve a family's story as it unfolds.
Thank you, Klimek family, for trusting me to be a small part of your summers for the past thirteen years. I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings.

MORE ABOUT US
Simply Me
Because you don't need a special occasion to celebrate the person you already are.
One of the things I love most about photography is that you never know where one introduction might lead.
I first met this wonderful family while photographing the bride's cousin's wedding. At the time, none of us could have imagined that a single wedding day would grow into years of celebrating life's biggest milestones together.
Since then, I've had the privilege of photographing their engagement, wedding day, and so many beautiful chapters that followed. As their family grew, I was honored to capture the arrival of both of their children. Around the same time, I was also invited to photograph newborn sessions for the bride's cousin's growing family—a reminder that the connections we make often extend far beyond a single day.
Some families just make my job easy, and this is certainly one of them. They're kind, genuine, and always up for laughing together, which makes every session feel less like work and more like catching up with old friends. Watching their children grow, seeing their personalities shine a little more each year, and documenting the love they share has been an incredible privilege.
Looking back, it's amazing to think that it all started with one wedding invitation. I feel so grateful that they continue to trust me with their family's memories, and I can't wait to see what adventures and milestones the years ahead will bring.
