Katelin and Xavier’s engagement session in Newburyport, MA was an absolute blast. These two are so easygoing and fun, and bringing along their adorable pup, Maui, made it even better.

Katelin’s parents tagged along to help with Maui, and they were the sweetest—jumping in whenever needed and making sure everything went smoothly. Plus, when Katelin’s mom told me how much she loved my work, my heart just about melted. Compliments from moms hit on a whole other level.

Newburyport gave us the best mix of backdrops. We started by the marsh with boats in the distance, then wrapped up at the beach where the scenery felt straight out of a New England coastal postcard. Katelin and Xavier were naturals the entire time—laughing together, leaning into each other, and just enjoying the moment.

Going through their gallery afterward left me floored. The combination of playful moments with Maui, romantic portraits, and coastal views truly captured their personalities and love story. If their engagement session is any preview, their wedding at the lake is going to be epic in every way.

Katelin and Xavier (and Maui!), thank you for bringing your joy, your laughter, and your love to this session. Being your Newburyport engagement photographer was such an honor, and I cannot wait to celebrate with you on your wedding day!
