Frosting a cake (or smashing it). Drawing on the driveway with chalk. Board-gaming, nature-hiking, hoop-shooting. Just BEING. Our approach is to capture an activity-based slice of life – watching for that split second when you look away from the camera – the authentic, storytelling moments that make you a family. Don’t worry, we’ll will help with gentle direction, all the while looking for the quiet (or maybe loud) in-betweens when you forgot you hired a photographer. I am a third-generation photographer mom-of-boys based in Holden, Massachusetts. The Happy Couple consists of me and my husband, Joe. We began this journey at Syracuse University in 2003 while pursuing MS degrees in Photojournalism. It was photo love, people! While working at news industry jobs, we started The Happy Couple in 2007 in Washington D.C. Twelve years and two kids later, family photojournalism is an almost daily phenomenon!
Just be.
