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 it in full bloom!
Thank you so much Darcie for asking me to shoot your senior photos! I hope senior year is going smoothly

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 for a few more head shots.
Thanks for being so easy to work with Ginny!

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 we adventured off on a photo outing. Th girls took me on a tour of Gilmanton and we found a bunch of great spots for photos.
Bethany!
Mariah!
And along the way we had some crazy fun — what a great time, thanks girls!
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 the lovely fall day.
She’s so natural and at ease! And not afraid of heights 
She told me she preferred spring to fall and wished she could have her senior photos with some awesome flowers. Well, it might not be spring, but we were able to find some awesome flowers!
And then we drove to a field in the middle of nowhere (that I found out later was across the street from an upcoming bride & grooms house, hi Lauren & Pat!) The colors were just starting to be brilliant.
Mad mace skills!
Thanks Elizabeth!

Bethany is a beautiful girl full of great charisma and enthusiasm! I met up with her, her father & sister at Great Island Common in New Castle on a Saturday morning in September to get those ‘pesky’ yearbook photos out of the way. The weather was perfect and we had a great time wandering around the island and using some ANTM poses
Fierce!
I’m sooooo funny sometimes
Thanks Bethany for allowing me the privilege of taking your photos! I hope senior year is treating you well!

Ryan’s mom Eileen called me earlier in the summer to schedule senior pictures for her son Ryan. She’s also the mother of the beautiful Liz: Class of 2009!
After a few weather mishaps we finally met at the beach on an early Tuesday morning for our shoot. Ryan didn’t seem the slightest bit disgruntled that we’d gotten him out of bed super early in the last few days of summer freedom.
Eileen drove us up the coast a bit — it was kind of nice having a chauffeur
My brief time with Ryan left me with the impression that he was an easy going, personable, respectful young adult — very much like his older sister. Many kudos to them and their parents!
I hope the last half of senior year is going smoothly! Thanks for waking up for our adventure!

Hello Melissa — The photos are beautiful, lots to choose from! Thanks again we are thrilled. ~Eileen
Alex, Alex, Alex. The first time I met you you were maybe 11 — - and now you’re conquering senior year with ease. You’re single handedly bringing back the fedora, and you’re confident and kind. You play a mean trumpet and you’re almost graduated!… well nearly almost
A few with out the fedora…
And my two favorites from the session!
Thanks for hanging out and showing me around town Alex. Best of luck to you!
