I love working with local business and organizations. Earlier in the month of January I did some quick head shots for my oil company – SimplyGreen. 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 …
A few weeks I go I had the honor of photographing the first annual Salient Surgical Technologies L.E.A.P. Awards. Very much a team oriented company they hosted a wonderful reception at the 100 Club in Portsmouth to honor those employees that had shown excellence in leadership. As they arrived, the honorees were presented with sweet …
I really enjoyed myself at last year’s Business of the Year awards, I was excited to shoot this years’. I was even more excited, and humbled, to be a nominee as well! While I didn’t win, I had a lot of fun putting together my entry. From the Chamber Press Release: The Chamber’s 2011 Business …

If you’re a regular reader, you know by know that Tavern at River’s Edge in Exeter is one of our frequented establishments. When owner Jeff asked me to come take some photos of their annual Toys for Tots drive featuring Dave Gerard +Truffle I couldn’t say no. Dave & the band are a lot …
The Exeter Chamber of Commerce is a good time. As a member I enjoy their business after hours events when I can get to them, which is never as often as I’d like. The Ultimate Sports Ticket Raffle event at Shooter’s Pub was one I had to be at though, no ifs ands or buts. …
Prepare to be Thirsty…. After Mrs. Conlan’s retirement party we decided to stop by the Exeter Inn and check out their first annual cocktail competition to support our friend and bartender, Cameron- from our local watering hole The Tavern. Each participating local restaurant offered a sample of their signature competition drink and some fare …
