Behind the Lens

Live every day as it is your last.

Laugh often.

Love wholeheartedly.

Create memories.

Thank you for visiting my site.  I have been capturing memories for as long as I can remember, but professionally since 2011. My first career is as a pediatric oncology nurse where I currently work full-time on a busy inpatient unit at Boston Children’s Hospital.  

I live in a suburb north of Boston with my two fur-babies, Sadie and Lily.  You will find me either visiting our families vacation home on Plum Island, getting lost in any of my favorite shops, walking the pups, puttering around the yard and garden, or chasing my seven chickens back into their coop.  I love everything about the outdoors (except for the cold and mud, I hate mud). 

Over the past seven years, I have found my niche in photography and that is of newborns and children.  I truly enjoy snuggling a brand-new baby and the challenge of sitting their siblings down for a quick shot.  

I am honest and transparent, I lack a filter, and I am an open book.

Love, 

JoEllen
