What to get the parent that has everything? Surprise them with a fun shoot with their grown up kids. And Sarah and her sister Cam did just that! After postponing due to Sarah’s terrible head cold, then a freak snow storm, we finally got together in Exeter and laughed it up. I love the bond …
Jackson’s the lucky nephew of Liz & BK from Liz & BK’s Portsmouth Harbor Events Wedding. His parents were gorgeous wedding party members and I was totally excited when she contacted me to come meet the newest member of the family! Are you ready for this sweetness? First we had each other. Then we had …
After my morning with Caleb & Family at Fort Constitution I headed on over to meet with this cute as a button family. Carys is the sweetest big sister to her little brother Des. And their backyard was simply perfect with it’s country feel and fall colors! I can’t even stand how gorgeous these kids are! …
In February of 2011 I was honored to photograph an event at the Regatta Room in Eliot, ME. A benefit for a young boy Caleb, and his family as they gracefully handled Caleb’s diagnosis of RMS, a rare childhood cancer. In October, I received this amazing email Hi Melissa, Happy Fall! It’s hard to believe …
Sam’s aunt contacted me about her senior session and we arranged it for a perfect afternoon. Sam is gorgeous – she reminds me of snow white with her long dark hair and creamy skin. I loved hanging out with them and adore the shots we got. She’s since graduated and I hope the summer after …
I do love a good New England apple orchard to take photos, so I was thrilled when I found myself back at Apple Annie’s for the great Abbott boys! The boys were pretty excited too!

Do you remember Nathalie & Danielle’s Rye, NH Elopement? What a day that was! Their private evening on the beach was the perfect way to celelbrate their union. A union that blended a family of great kids too! The perfect way to tie it all together was to go back to the scene of the crime …
I love being gifted! My good friends Mike & Erin thought outside the box, and gifted a m|k|p gift certificate to Anne & Scott for their wedding. Once they’d settled from the wedding dust, and adopted a new puppy, they called me up to (ok, they emailed me) have their family photos taken. It was …
One of the unexpected perks of moving to our neighborhood – great neighbors! I met Adrienne and her boys at the bus stop the day we signed for our house and we’ve built a great friendship. I thought popping over to the neighbors was always one of those ‘things you see in the movies’, …
