Sam & Josh wanted to frolic in the snow for their engagement shoot. Little did we realize we’d need to wait until nearly spring to get enough snow to call it SNOW! But, it finally happened. An early March storm that freed up our schedules and Sam & Josh ventured down to Exeter with 2 …
Oh my gosh. More little girls growing up before my very eyes! At our 18 month photos, Reese was still a toddler. All of a sudden, she’s a little lady. Soft curls, big smiles, big kid bed, hand tracing and all. In some of these photos she looks well beyond her years. It’s amazing and …
Another chapter in the Dani adventures! The change from her summer family photos to her 3rd birthday was just crazy. From a toddler, to a little girl, just like that! Even more full of funny faces and precociousness, we had a great time doing some family photos then capturing the birthday fun! Mama snuggles Daddy loves …
Crystal and Lincoln are fun loving, fiercely gorgeous, and of course fantastic! Another couple not afraid of a little cold, they contacted me for February engagement photos. Still no sign of snow, but we had the best time traipsing around, and of course – snuggling to keep warm! They had just started taking down the bridge, and …

Talk about a great company to work with – environmentally friendly and sustainable, I highly recommend being in touch with them regarding your home heating needs! I was beyond thrilled when …
We’ve made it to 2012! My first shoot of the year was fantastic. It’s a good thing when life sneaks back up on me sometimes. Ike moved to my high school when I was a sophomore, and he was a junior. He took me to get my driver’s license and then let me drive his …
Katie & Kellen are two of the sweetest people ever. And smart. BOTH of them are in med school, and when we met up in the last days of 2011 they were working on pinning down their residencies. And planning a wedding. And surviving the holidays. And just being plain awesome. We were secretly hoping …
I must confess, I’ve told a lie. Turns out Lauren & Pat’s Gunstock Mountain Wedding was NOT my last wedding of 2011. After a wonderful family session turned engagement session at Wagon Hill in Durham in September I was beyond thrilled when Tracie & Rob asked me to photograph their beautiful intimate winter wedding at The …
