Doherty Family: Lifestyle Session


Six years ago, I had the joy of photographing the Doherty’s beautiful wedding at St. Mary’s College. Fast forward to today, and I had the absolute pleasure of capturing their family of four on the very same campus—a place that holds so many special memories for them. Returning to the spots where they first celebrated their love, it was incredible to see their journey as a couple now reflected in their family, with laughter, warmth, and connection shining through every frame.


During our session, we embraced the charm and timeless beauty of St. Mary’s College, using the campus as the perfect backdrop for their growing family. From quiet moments of togetherness to playful interactions between the kids, each photo tells a story of love, growth, and cherished memories. Sessions like this are a wonderful way to celebrate milestones, create lasting family heirlooms, and relive the magic of where it all began.


Capturing families in locations that hold sentimental value adds a depth and intimacy to portraits that can’t be replicated anywhere else. For the Dohertys, revisiting St. Mary’s College brought their story full circle, and I’m honored to have been part of this next chapter in their lives.
