Little Miss Sassafrass here has been in front of my camera since she was in her mama’s belly. For this go round, we met up at the Urban Forestry Center for their family photos. After their photo session, we headed off into downtown Portsmouth for a spectacular meal at the Green Elephant. I can never …
Karin contacted me as soon as she knew she’d be up from North Carolina to spend a whirlwind 48 hours with her fiance before he shipped off again. She wanted a summery, rustic, fields of gold Exeter NH Summer Engagement Session – and I was more than happy to oblige! These two braved the tall …
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I’m sure. The best recipe for forever is a little romance and a lot of silliness. Julie & Eric have that down to a tee. Even though Julie had warned me that Eric was a “smart alec” and was going to try and “mess with the …
Oh, darling Everly! What personality you’re cultivating! From a snuggly little plum at our newborn session to an adventurous 8-month-old to the gorgeous one-year-old! It’s been such a pleasure getting to watch you grow in your Seacoast NH Babys First Year photos! Always smiling, we found some green grass at Stratham Hill Park (so so green.. …
You’ve seen her At Home Newborn session, her fantastic Fall Family Photos 4-month-old session, and now the final two sessions of this sweet girl’s NH Watch Me Grow series! From just born to One! Her 8-month-old session was as cute as can be. She was just learning to stand holding on to things and looked like …
Sarah & Sam are wonderful. We were initially scheduled to meet in Portsmouth, but the day of our sessions happened to be the same day the Tall Ships decided to dock – in exactly the same place we were set to meet up, so I quickly got in touch with them and asked if they might …
Another year, and another incredible Exeter NH Family Photos adventure with my favorite family. I can rightfully call them my favorites because I have had the extreme honor of photographing them every year since I have been in business. There is no greater honor than that. Big brother and I had a year to ourselves …
Kate & Derek are ridiculously adorable. I’ve known Derek since high school – his sister has been one of my best friends for 20*mumble* years – and we’d all been waiting for him to propose to Kate 😉 Kate is from Michigan, and they had plans for a Michigan wedding. I love to travel for …
Another day, another beauty! I’ve known Maddie since she was…. 9? 10? younger. That’s for sure. And I was so happy to be able to walk around town with her for her Exeter NH Senior Yearbook Photos. Maddie is a genuinely lovely person. Confident and carefree, she lights up the stage with her acting and …
Another round of NH beach sunset family photos – this past summer was like a dream. 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. Taking pictures with your children should never be something you …
