Like every summer, there seems to always be a stretch of time when everything gets rained out. Well, this Ogunquit Maine Cousins Beach Session crew was on top of it and super happy and flexible to change their shoot to the morning since there was a good chance of rain in the evening. You’d never …
I do not think that word means what you think it means! 😉 Mother nature’s on your side! This NH Family Photos on the Beach happened in November, and to be honest, I kind of thought they were crazy for planning at the beach. I was going to wait until closer to the date with …
It poured and poured my whole drive down to the Rockport MA Wedding at The Emerson Inn. This quaint little inn by the sea with the lovely stone gardens was a little soggy, but that didn’t stop us from making the most of it. The florists at Stow Greenhouses turned the interior into a gorgeous …
In my getting to know you worksheet for these two Hampton NH New Year’s Eve Engagement Photos lovebirds, I asked Anything else I should know?

Another round of NH beach sunset family photos – this past summer was like a dream. Â A dream I would never have fully appreciated if I did have the honor of spending time with these families as they commemorate a moment, however big or small.
