and also with you. I learned so many wonderful things about Julie & Tom during their intimate Wentworth By the Sea wedding. So much of it was unspoken. The way they truly see each other when they make eye contact. They listen whole-heartedly and with true attention. How they protect and love everyone they care …
I had the honor of being interviewed by my favorite Wedding & Event Planner, Nicole Mower. Nicole and I go way back. She found me in 2010 and asked me to photographer her stunning Bailey Island Wedding. We hit it off right away, and she and her husband, Haven, have been a part of our …
I like people who take action. Dave proposed to Summer, and she pretty much immediately jumped on the task of finding an engagement photographer at rye, NH to complete her Odiorne Point Boat Launch Sunset NH Engagement Session vision! (damn, that was a mouthful, sorry!) While we were chatting on the phone, Summer said, we were …
I love a good surprise! And so do the wonderful folks in these Portland Maine East End family photos! They decided to descend upon grandma’s birthday getaway, with a lot of help from grandpa. Completely unbeknownst to her, her two kids, two kids-in-law, and 2 grandkids showed up in Portland, Maine to surprise her for her …
What’s so fun about having a strange lady tell you to stand still and smile? Nothing. Nothing at all. It’s kind of creepy actually. You know what’s more fun? As evidenced by this Short Sands Maine family session? Running around and laughing at the strange lady running around and laughing with you! You’re three years old. …
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 …
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes two beautiful children, two kids in law, and two fantastic grandchildren. The next thing you know, it’s 40 years later and you’re not sure where the time went. I mean, you’re not any older, so how are these tiny humans you gave birth to grown-ups? With kids …
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? And their reply – “I don’t know – we’re pretty low-key and weird” <– That, ladies & gentleman, pretty much sums up my ideal client. Because I am also ‘pretty low-key …
Truth: I hate the phone. I used to completely ignore it when it rang, but I’m trying to be better about answering it! Although, with the telemarketers getting more clever and using local area codes I’m starting to rethink my commitment to answering. But when this grandmother of 8 called wanting NH Beach Family Photos …
