Nantucket Photography
Nantucket is my happy place.
Hi, I'm Caeli!
The first time I ever visited Nantucket, I met my husband at the bar at Straight Wharf. We got married on the island—during a hurricane, no less—and now it is where our family’s favorite memories are made!
We love exploring and discovering new-to-us drive-on beaches, and my daughters have made it their mission to try every ice cream shop on the island. No matter how much time we spend on Nantucket, there is always something new to experience...yet it somehow feels like coming home every time.
Simply being on Nantucket makes every moment feel a little more special, and I love getting to capture that for the families who cherish it as much as I do. It is an honor to document the moments that will become part of your family’s Nantucket story.

My favorite memories with my own family on Nantucket are the simple, everyday things—going to the beach, standing barefoot in the sand, the sound of waves rolling in, and watching my girls splash in the waves, completely carefree and full of joy. This is what my "A Day at the Beach" sessions are all about—capturing the joy, connection, and magic of a summer day on Nantucket in a way that feels effortless and true to your family.
Unlike a traditional family session, these photos focus on the natural, playful energy of your family. If desired, I will give prompts and share ideas, but I can also take a fully documentary approach, letting moments unfold organically. Your family can explore, splash in the waves, build sandcastles, hunt for shells, have lunch, or simply soak in the golden sun. The result? Real, beautiful, joy-filled images that instantly take you back to those carefree summer days.

One of the most special options for this session is a trip to Great Point, one of my absolute favorite places on the island. It is a remote, breathtaking stretch of beach at the far eastern tip of Nantucket, accessible only by oversand vehicles with a Trustees sticker. If you choose this adventure, I will either meet you on Great Point, or if you do not have the car or sticker, I will meet you and drive your family (up to four people) out to Great Point, where we will have the beach nearly to ourselves. It is an experience unlike any other — peaceful, wild, and absolutely unforgettable.
Of course, I can also meet you at other beaches that hold meaning for your family, whether it is a favorite drive-on spot or a hidden gem where your kids love to play.

Q&A About Family Photography on Nantucket
Q&A About Family Photography on Nantucket
I am a lifestyle photographer which means my goal is to capture you and your children and partner in moments that reflect the essence of your family and your unique dynamic. I also incorporate some elements of documentary photography - as any mom knows, kids expressions and emotions change on a dime and I am paying attention during all the "in-between" moments. This is when I tend to capture some of my personal favorite photographs!
I am not a "look at me and say cheese" photographer, rather I capture the dynamics between you and your loved ones, your laughter, your love, your admiration and your awe. Unlike traditional portrait or studio photography, I work to capture genuine emotions and authentic interactions. I provide direction and prompts to help everyone feel comfortable and to elicit these emotions and reactions.
My work has been described as joyful, loving, honest, and nostalgic. My goal is to create photographs for you year after year, documenting your family as it grows giving you and your children a visual reminder to look back on for years that will trigger your unique memories.
My sessions take place in various stunning locations across Nantucket, including popular beaches like Steps Beach and Madaket. The charming and quintessential cobblestone streets of downtown, or alongside the rose-covered cottages in Sconset. We can also have the session at your house, hotel, or rental to add a personal touch.
Up for an adventure - let's head out to Great Point and really appreciate the best of Nantucket!
I actually wrote an entire blog post about what to wear for your family photo session. Key is comfort for all members of your family, and clothes should compliment, but not match.
Since the landscape is so beautiful and charming in Nantucket, your clothes do not need to compete or distract from your surroundings.
