About Perri (she/her), Boston Queer Photographer

I have always been the one in my family and in my friend group taking the photos. Even when my only option was a disposable camera at summer camp, I made sure to snap photos of everything, right down to what I was eating. I slowly graduated up to a real camera, but I’m still that person (just ask my wife, it drives her crazy). While my photographs no longer involve a point and shoot camera and a whole lot of red eye, I still focus on all the details to best capture the important moments in people’s lives. I’m passionate about documenting everything from your week old baby’s tiny little toes, to the way your significant other looks at you when you aren’t paying attention. Whether you are having your photos taken to document an important life event, or just because you feel like it, my goal is to deliver those candid and beautiful moments for you to look back on forever.

Fun facts about me:

  • When I’m not busy with photography, I work as a pediatric occupational therapist for a school district.

  • I am a donut connoisseur and regularly drive an hour to get my favorite donuts from Providence.

  • I have twins who were born at the end of 2021 and uniquely have different birthdays!

  • I have two cats, named Acadia and Zion because my wife and I love the National Parks.

  • I love to travel. Some of my favorite trips include Australia & New Zealand, the Azores, San Diego, Seattle and my semester abroad in Denmark, during which I visited 9 different countries.

  • My wife and I met at summer camp when we were 15. We started dating when we were 16 and got married in 2017 on our 10th anniversary.

Who else loves holiday cards? I think they’re such a fun way to get a peek at the lives of friends/family that you don’t get to see as often as you’d like. I know they’re not for everybody and can be expensive, but I never hav
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! For us, that means making some pies this afternoon with the kids so they’ll be ready to go for tomorrow. Pie is definitely my favorite Thanksgiving food, followed closely by stuffing (my family’s recipe only) and
I was all prepped to have my twins in January when I was pregnant, and was so happy they’d have a birthday further away from my wife’s and mine (late Oct/early Nov) and after the holidays. Then they went ahead and decided to come between
My wife and I are getting two nights away from the kids this weekend! We haven’t had a night away in over a year, so it is much needed. We’re headed to Portland because it’s one of my favorite places to drink beer and eat. Let&rsquo

I absolutely love photographing this family every year. There is just so much love and joy and play. They’re not afraid to run with their toddler, play games with each other, and generally let their little one take the lead. I always leave thei

This little one did such an amazing job at her session! Doing an outdoor session in November with a 3 month old can be somewhat daunting, but she and her parents rocked it. She didn’t even complain when I made her do some tummy time. #perriva
