Can I be honest for a minute? Every time I photograph a family at the beach, I'm reminded of how fast our babies grow. Life gets so busy, and before we know it another year has gone by. We're always waiting for the right time, when things slow down, when schedules aren't so crazy... but somehow that time never really comes.

Then one day you look at your kids and realize they've changed. They're taller, they're more independent, and those little things you thought would last forever have already become memories.

That's why I love beach sessions so much. They're not about perfect smiles or getting every little detail right. They're about slowing down for just a little while, playing in the sand, chasing the waves, laughing together, and capturing your family exactly as you are in this season.

Don't wait until next year. Don't wait until life feels less busy. These moments matter now, because this version of your family won't come around again. One day these photos will mean so much more than you can imagine, and you'll be so thankful you made the time. This is my niece with her family in Brazil.

I'm looking for a few amazing local businesses to partner with me for a very special event.

On September 16th, I'll be hosting the 25 Faces, 25 Stories Exhibition, an evening celebrating 25 incredible women who courageously shared their stories through portrait photography.

This project has been about so much more than taking pictures. It's about celebrating women, building confidence, creating connections, and reminding each person that their story matters.

I'm looking for businesses that believe in supporting women, community, and the arts. As a sponsor, you'll be recognized during the event and in our promotional materials while helping create a memorable evening for everyone attending.

If you own a business, or know someone who would love to support this event, I'd love to connect. Whether you're interested in sponsoring the event, donating products or services, or collaborating in another creative way, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Together, we can create an evening that celebrates the women in our community and inspires many more to step in front of the camera and embrace their own story.

Please send me a message or email to [email protected] to receive the sponsorship information.

A week ago, I wasn’t sure I could do this.
Last Sunday July 19,2026 we left Massachusetts to go to Nova Scotia, Canada, with the destination to go to the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, and I found myself thinking how scared I was and how I would doubt myself if I could do it.
Riding a motorcycle for a 1829 miles(2926 KM) in 07 days felt way outside my comfort zone. I kept wondering if I was strong enough. Could I handle the long days, the changing weather, the rain, the wind, the winding roads? We got it all of that.
There were moments when fear would show up, but in those moments, I stopped, prayed, and reminded myself that God doesn’t call us to live in fear, only love. He gives us strength for what He has placed in front of us. Every morning I asked Him to give me the courage to keep going, one mile at a time. I was grateful for the opportunity.
I also have to thank my husband, Carlos. He believed in me even when I wasn’t sure I believed in myself. He never doubted that I could do this. And so he was a right! I am sure God placed him in my life so I could see my strength. I am so grateful for his love, his patience, and for encouraging me to take this journey.
Now I’ve ridden some of the most beautiful roads I’ve ever seen, the Cabot Trail and the Fundy Trail in Saint Martins. I’ve looked over the Atlantic Ocean, breathed fresh air, and created memories that will stay with me forever.
Nova Scotia has captured my heart, and I already know I’ll be back.
This trip made me realize how often we limit our own lives. But what if the only thing standing between us and something incredible is the story we’re telling ourselves?
How many dreams are still waiting because fear has been making the decisions for us?
I’m so thankful I said yes, even though I was scared.Maybe this is the sign you needed today. Take that first step. Trust God a little more than your fear. You might discover you’re capable of far more than you ever imagined.
What is one dream you’ve been putting off because you’re afraid?

These photos feel so much like me, Elaine Freitas. Let me introduce myself again for the new followers.
They were taken by my dear friend Luciana during one of our lavender farm collaborations. I’m usually the one behind the camera, so it was such a gift to slow down, enjoy the moment, and let someone else capture me.
When I look at these images, I see the person I am at heart. Someone who loves people, loves life, and feels incredibly grateful to do work that has so much meaning, photography.
For over 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing families as they grow, welcoming tiny newborns into the world, and creating memories that become part of their legacy. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing these photographs will be treasured long after today.
Another joy of my work is photographing women. I love helping them see the beauty I already see in them. Being part of that moment is one of the things I love most about my work.
I believe every season of life deserves to be remembered. The big milestones matter, but so do these quiet, beautiful days that pass by so quickly.
Thank you, Luciana Calvin for capturing this sweet hot summer day in the lavender and for photographing me in such a genuine way. These images remind me that sometimes it’s good to step in front of the camera too.
I’d love to know what you see when you look at these photos. Photography is so personal, and every image tells a different story depending on who’s looking at it.
What do these photos say to you? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments.

I wasn’t planning to offer Lavender Farm Sessions this year.

But on Sunday, I went to Brigham Farm to pick my own lavender, and after talking with the owner, we decided to make it happen.

So I’m opening ONLY two evenings next week, before the farm opens again for their Pick Your Own Lavender event on the 11th.

If you’ve been dreaming of photos surrounded by beautiful lavender, this is your chance. These sessions are perfect for families, couples, maternity, children, or even just for yourself.

Once these two dates are full, that will be it for this year.
