I had so much fun with this family during their Dover, NH family photos over Memorial Day Weekend! The kids were full of ideas and suggestions, and a few times I heard their parents tell them to just be good listeners and let me do my job. And while I *strongly* encourage wearing your listening …
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 …
Today’s post is pretty personal. It’s my family. Finally. And the moral of the story is the time for photos is now. For at least a year now, every time I do a family shoot with all the cousins, for or with the grandparents, I think about how I should do that for MY grandparents. …
What do you do when you’re given the opportunity to meet, and learn from, your photography idols? WHATEVER IT TAKES. So when I learned that bobbi+mike, a husband and wife team of fabulousness from Indianapolis, whom I have blogstalked since almost the beginning of my MKP adventures (I have a message to her in Sept …
Another year was winding to a close and Christmas Eve was upon us again. This year we were lucky enough to have Allison & Lochlin at our celebration! (Seriously kid, you’re less than a month old and already on the blog 3 times?! ;)) It was my mom’s first time meeting him so she swooped …
Happy Valentine’s Day! I share with you a little of my family. B and I took a trip up to the Squam Lake Science Center with my brother and his family. This is my nephew Killian. He’s smart beyond his years and a little bit eccentric. (A quality I hope he never loses!) And my …
First he turned 10, then school was out and we hopped in the car and headed to one of our favorite places, Vermont! It was the first time we’d been able to bring him there with us and I was so excited to adventure with him! First stop, of course! Then meandering through some waterfalls …
Turning 30 didn’t bother me, didn’t think twice about it. But being mom to a 10 year old – that certainly threw me for a loop (still does, every day). We went to the Rockin’ Rib Fest again for the 2nd year and B had his game face on. Much fun and copious amounts of …
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 …
I know I’ve mentioned it before but I always find it funny how moments from my past find their way into my present. Mrs. C lived in ‘the wood’ (Brentwood) and her son and I rode the same bus. Years later we found ourselves in the same places at the same times and *poof* – …
