Facebook is astounding. And this post is verbose – but it’s a fun story & the photos are adorable, so stick with me. As a kid, I lived in Reading, MA. I walked to the corner store, rode my bike to the library, ice skated at the town field, and walked to school (uphill, …
My mini sessions were beyond spectacular this fall. In 4 days, over 2 weekends, I was HONORED to photography 24 families – that’s 82 loving souls – and a super cute puppy. Mother nature was not as much a fan of my plans – with the bulk of those families scheduled very carefully over the first …
“Ever drifting down the stream–Lingering in the golden gleam–Life, what is it but a dream?” Lewis Carroll. A glorious, GLORIOUS dream. That’s the only way to describe Julia & Andrew’s jaw-droppingly stunning Mountain View Grand wedding. I’ve photographed weddings here twice before, and it’s always phenomenal, but this was just over the top glamour and fun …
Oh gosh. How time flies! The first time I photographed this family, it was wee Keegan & his parents at his nearly newborn shoot. Since then we’ve met at least yearly with his twin cousins to do some fun Christmas surprises for his their grandparents. This year, we got the grandparents in on the action! …
I love the drive to Pat’s Peak. It’s a beautiful representation of NH and in October, it’s even more splendid. As I drove I thought back to Megan & Sean’s Prescott Park Engagement shoot last year and got all sorts of excited to see them again. They both smile from the bottom of their hearts …
The generalized colloquialism is “A Boy and His Dog” … well, Kailey is here to tell those boys to shove it. This vibrant, beautiful senior is ready to take over the veterinary world, and it’s definitely attributed at least in part to her faithful friend, Tucker. That sweet golden retriever not only thinks he’s a …
One of the places I’d been waiting for the opportunity to photograph for a while now was Kenoza Lake. I’d heard they had great walking/jogging trails and even better, it’s along side of a castle! I had been to Winnekenni Castle as a kid, but it had been years, and I certainly wasn’t thinking about …
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Green As I sat in the car waiting for the torrential downpour to pass, feverishly refreshing the radar screen to confirm that it was the last cell to pass for the afternoon, I had no idea of …
Another year, another adventure with this wonderful family. We landed ourselves a perfect fall afternoon. Color peeking, sunlight filtering through the trees, and an abundance of smiles! I took advantage of Stratham Hill Park again, but this time we explored a few different corners of the grounds. There’s no lacking of trees in the park, …
Let’s see – it all started with… Brian & Liz. I met Brian through the Exeter Chamber of Commerce and when he and Liz had their fabulous Portsmouth wedding I was honored to be a part of it. Brian’s brother, Matt was a groomsman and his wife Sharon was a bridesmaid. A very pregnant bridesmaid it …
