Fisher: One Month Old! 09.05.11 | Portsmouth, NH Family Photos

Elle + Joseph = Fisher. And Fisher = delightful!

We spent a per­fect Labor Day after­noon in Pres­cott Park cap­tu­ring some moments cele­bra­ting their first four weeks as a family of three! Loving, caring, endea­ring, sassy, fan­tas­tic, beau­ti­ful, hand­some.… the three of them are prac­ti­cally per­fect in every way!

My favo­rite favorite!

I hope all is well!

Dylan Robert: Three Weeks Old! 09.04.11 | Exeter Family Photography

Remem­ber Kris­tan & John? My two sweet friends who we don’t get to visit nearly enough? Well, now they are my THREE sweet friends we don’t get visit nearly enough. I snuck a few minu­tes out of my crazy Sep­tem­ber to finally meet their totally ado­ra­ble and cra­zily expres­sive little boy, Dylan Robert.

A few pho­tos, some great hugs, and some AMAZING pas­tries all made for a spec­ta­cu­lar mor­ning. Thanks for the hos­pi­ta­lity and the baby fix!

Vera: One year old! 09.02.11 | Exeter Family Photography

Meet Vera! Vera’s mom & dad just moved up near Reed & Liza’s mom & dad and they ever so nicely said I was the girl to see for pho­tos. (Thank you Pam!)

Vera imme­dia­tely stole my heart with her big brown, eyes, long lashes & straw­berry heart dress. I loved spen­ding the after­noon with her and her parents and I’m so exci­ted to see them again in a few months - she’s about to make her flo­wer girl debut in one of this spring’s wed­dings and I can only ima­gine how utterly ado­ra­ble that is going to be.

Here are a few of my favo­ri­tes from our ses­sion. This first one is another that falls under the list of ‘if i had a stu­dio this would be all big on the wall’!

Be well my friends!

Tracie & Rob: Family 09.01.11 | Wagon Hill Durham NH Family Engagement Photos

Phew! Just as spring is sproin­ging, I’m get­ting close to the debut of m|k|p’s 2011 fall sea­son on the blog. But let’s not be hasty, a lot of great stuff hap­pe­ned in the first weeks of Sep­tem­ber too.

Right off the bat were Tra­cie & Rob. Rob is a music man (right here in river city! haha, ok sorry) .. and he and James (of Mag­gie + James = Jacob) do a lot of gigs around these here parts. While I’ve never seen them per­form, I’ve heard them both and they’re phe­no­me­nal. I should get out and see them. So should you.

What star­ted as a l.o.v.e. shoot, ended up fit­ting in a few big announ­ce­ments! I bet you’ll be able to figure out what’s going on ;)

We plan­ned for Wagon Hill on a glo­rious after­noon. I always for­get how beau­ti­ful it is there (even though my enga­ge­ment pho­tos shot there too, haha). Tracie’s parents were up visi­ting and so they came along as well. It ended up being a fan­tas­tic family affair. Rob and Tra­cie are so crazy in love with each other, and defi­ni­tely peo­ple you’d want around if something went awry — Tracie’s a nurse and Rob’s and EMT/​Fireman. I think doing good does the body good — because these two are gorgeous!

The whole fam-​damily!

You gues­sed it, right? In Decem­ber I pho­to­graphed their inti­mate wed­ding, and as we speak — Tracie’s at the hos­pi­tal read­ying to deli­ver their little girl Lila! I can’t wait to meet her too! I have no doubt she’s des­tine for great things.

Thank you for our lovely adven­tu­res so far guys — here’s to many more!

Ressel Family Photos! 08.26.11 | Cape Cod Vacation Photography

From Beaches to beaches. <3

My life­long friend Liss and her family invi­ted me down to spend the night with them at their ren­ted house on the Cape in honor and cele­bra­tion of her parents wed­ding anni­ver­sary. And to com­me­mo­rate the occa­sion, it was time for upda­ted family pho­tos! We star­ted in the lovely yard and then wan­de­red down the street to the beach. It was a rela­xing fan­tas­tic time. And I got to trade wea­ring my came­ras, for wea­ring baby Caleb! Fair trade!

Thank you Ressel’s for a fan­tas­tic mini-​vacation! It was great to see you all together again after all these years!

Dani: 2 and a half! 08.04.11 | Seacoast, NH Children’s Photographer

Good Golly Miss Dani! Our adven­tu­res just keep on going! Just last week I pho­to­graphed your THIRD birth­day. It doesn’t even seem pos­si­ble that we’ve been gala­van­ting this long, but what fun it is!

Watching this blonde hai­red blue eyed beauty go from baby, to todd­ler, to little girl is so fan­tas­tic. When we got together in August, she was full of gig­gles. And some squirmy wor­mies. And some pou­ting. Sounds per­fectly two and a half to me!

I men­tio­ned the gor­geous, yes? This pic­ture lea­ves me fee­ling bit­ters­weet — I can totally see what she’ll look like in her senior pho­tos. But that’s 15 years from now!

We deci­ded to take a trip down to the boat launch and see what we could see. Quack!

We made sure to take some time to stop and smell the flowers.

Spe­cial thanks to the ducky family for their cameo in this shot ;)

Loving family! Pro­bably my favo­rite family photo of them to date!

Thanks, as always guys. I can’t wait to see what hap­pens next!

Plante Family Photos! 07.25.11 | Hampton, NH Family Photos

Lind­say and her sweet family live in Texas. I was super exci­ted when she con­tac­ted me to tell me they would be up visi­ting and wan­ted ME to take some pho­tos for them.

We met up at Hamp­ton State Park — one of my favo­rite beach loca­tions on our tiny NH coast­line. It has a very Nan­tuc­ket sort of feel and these 3 matched that feel perfectly.

Ella was a per­fect model in her blue and white china pat­tern dress. And the toes. I love the little criss-​crossed cutie toes!!

The whole family joi­ned in the fun.

What a gor­geous crew!

Seriously? Quin­tes­sen­tial precociousness!

I believe she’s saying to me — why do you need to take my pic­ture again?! I told her because she was so cute I couldn’t stop! It’s more than obvious how much she’s adored.

And then — this hap­pe­ned I’m not sure what cata­log she came out of, but I’ll take one! I would also make these a giant dou­ble can­vas set!

The bird beha­ved, but every time a wave was going to crash, Ella would turn around and look at it. LOL. I still love it.

It’s spec­ta­cu­lar when parents have fun with their kids. Thanks for being such good sports guys!!

Dad with his sons & his won­der­ful wife

And grand­pa­rents doing what they do best — whis­pe­ring sur­pri­ses in little one’s ears. Even great-​grandmother got in on the act!

I can’t tell you how much I enjo­yed my time with this spe­cial family. Gene­ra­tions are huge to me. I have a photo of my Great-​Grandmother (who’s name hap­pe­ned to be Ella!) hol­ding my son, her great-​great-​grandson. And I have vivid memo­ries (and pho­tos to back them up) of me and my great-​great-​grandfather. The pho­tos are so impor­tant to me because it helps me remem­ber it hap­pe­ned — that it wasn’t just a story someone told me — -

How many gene­ra­tions are in your story?
