Sarah & her mum Kathie came down from the Lakes Region to have me take Sarah’s senior photos. We had a great time walking around Exeter talking about tropical adventures and anything else that might convince us we were warm. You’d never know how cold it was that day looking at Sarah though. She’s the …
Jae is class of 2012, slated to graduate next Friday. We met up for his senior photos in Exeter, and there wasn’t a pose or location he didn’t make look good. His sister Clarissa dominated her senior pictures just as easily. Good genes run in this family! That’s for sure. Jae was charming and charismatic and …
High Schools all over have started their commencements – is that oxymoronic? Perhaps I should sign up for an English lesson or two from my crew of graduates? I’m not sure I’m smarter than a 12th grader 😉 I’m sure these guys flew through senior year with flying colors! You all are amazing – much …
The week before Thanksgiving it finally got cold – too cold to shoot outside, at least, too cold to shoot up close and personal senior photos with out runny noses and watery eyes! Thankfully, the after taking photos for the Hampton Inn & Suites in Exeter they were more than happy to loan me their …
Billy antagonizes me like a little brother. I love him and his family (the beautiful people behind Valerios Kitchen in Stratham and Annie’s Angels) to pieces – I’ve known them since 2006, and in 2007, his sister Stephie, was my first ever bride and let me tell you, nothing adds to a brother-sister dynamic like …
Amanda is a gorgeous girl who braved a rather chilly October day for her senior photos. She did a spectacular job looking warm and we had a good time wandering around Exeter 🙂 Good Luck Amanda! ~MelissaKoren
Darcie is absolutely adorable – full of personality and smiles. She also introduced me to Fuller Gardens in Hampton – all these years living here and I’d never been. Being the first week of October we’d missed “peak” but what was there was stunning and I can’t wait to go back this summer and see …
In the continuation of the fantastic chronicling of the Class of 2011, I met Ginny & her mom bright and early the first weekend in October at the beach for some yearbook photos. She was a natural infront of the camera! Being a little windy at the beach we decided to head back into Exeter …
Bethany’s mom is also friends with Alex’s mom. She too, after seeing his senior photos, called me to see if I was available to come back up to the Laconia area and take Bethany’s photos. And Bethany’s friend Mariah needed photos too, so after hanging with Elizabeth, I made my way to Bethany’s house and …
I had such a great time in Laconia shooting Alex’s senior photos. I was surprised and grateful when I got a call from a friend of Alex’s mom, whose daughter Elizabeth was also a senior. I headed back up to Laconia and picked Elizabeth up at her house. We went into town and enjoyed …
