Hello and welcome! My name is Esther.
I studied professional commercial photography at Dawson College and began my photography career in Montreal, Canada. With over a decade of experience, my approach blends technical knowledge with a calm, observant presence. Knowing when to offer direction, and when to quietly step back and let a moment unfold is a key part of my approach.
I now live and work in Rockport, Massachusetts with my two sons, husband, our young Rhodesian Ridgeback, and our special needs cat Yoda. There or elsewhere, I spend as much time as I can outside, hiking, gardening. Music and podcasts are nearly always in my ears. I’ve always found a lot of inspiration in the natural world, not just how it looks, but how it feels to be in it.
What matters most to me in this work is presence. Showing up fully, listening closely, and creating photographs that reflect the real tone and texture of your day.
Thanks for being here. I’m honored to do this work and hope it resonates with you.
