In a recent conversation with my grandmother, she mused that if you look at my social media profile (ie instagram) it “looks like I live at the nightclubs”. A self professed ‘teetotaler‘ she was a little perplexed at why I seem to spend so much time at bars. I then explained to her the copious amount of wonderful …
I know I’ve blathered before about how much I love newborn photos, but it’s so so true. Aside from the obvious tiny cooingness of it all, and the blankets and bows and diaper covers I get to shop for and swoon over, I love seeing new families be truly centered in the newness of it …
Reese’s mom turned her baby’s first year collection into a baby’s first yearS collection, and it’s been such a privilege to watch this little one’s personality grow in spades! They’ve had this hilariously humongous bear at every shoot – he’s been lugged here, there, and everywhere, and never once complained about it. He looks downright …
When I first met Rosie this past fall at our Maudslay State Park photo session we laughed and giggled and sang songs. This session I got to come visit her at her house and help welcome her new baby brother! And what a perfect baby brother he is! I love his little man outfit – newborn sweater vests are …
These sweet faces keep growing up! I can barely stand it. It seemed like just yesterday that Julie asked me over for Audrey’s infant photos – and yet in comes the email asking to set up her first birthday photos! Just look at how adorable she was then, and even more so now! Also, mum, …
When Julia first contacted me about her stunning Mountain View Grand wedding she was planning with her fiance Andrew, she had an extra little something else in mind too. I was overjoyed at the concept of a mini-boudoir session on her wedding day. It’s perfect! Your hair and makeup are all set, you’ve been wearing …
I shot my first wedding in 2007. But that’s not quite true – I actually photographed my first wedding in 2004 – I just didn’t know at that point that I was going to be doing it full time (or at all) someday! Our good friends Jenn & Bill asked us to stand up for them …
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I’m a townie. Though I was born in Massachusetts, we’ve lived in the Exeter area since I was in 6th grade. I hated it at first. HATED IT. I mean, what kid wants to be uprooted at the peak of awkward from the friends that already accept her …
Belly Buddies! These two beautiful ladies are the best of friends. It was my first time meeting the lovely, blonde haired Jill – she is simply as sweet as can be. Gorgeous, dark-haired Jennie & I have known each other for 20 years (what the heck is that all about?!) and I’ve been honored to …
Are you ready to meet two of the sweetest people ever? She works with the gorgeous Liz of Brian & Liz’s Harbor Event’s Wedding and he’s a special kind of saint who teaches Driver’s Ed. (A reality I’m going to have to deal with in my own right in just over a year *gulp*). Newly engaged …
