Bishop Family Photos 09.24.11 | Family Photography, Exeter NH

My first ever mini-​session was for fellow pho­to­grapher, and high school class­mate, Jen­nie & her per­fectly ado­ra­ble family.

Con­nor, at 2 12 was not par­ti­cu­larly inte­res­ted in ‘another lady with a camera’ but he pla­yed along just enough to make me look good. And Jen­nie & Tom look ama­zing for han­ging out with new­born Reilly for his first 32 days!

I love the one on the right — bare­foot and silly faced!

And after I said we were ‘all done’ and hea­ding back to the cars, this bit of magic hap­pe­ned. It’s one of my favo­rite family pho­tos ever!

Thanks Jen­nie & family for being my first mini-​session victims..er..volunteers. It was a blast!

Reese: 18 months old! 09.23.11 | Derry, NH Children’s Photography

If you’re a regu­lar rea­der (thank you!) you might remem­ber this sweet little girl from her many other appea­ran­ces on the blog. A lot of times I can tell what the todd­ler ver­sions of my new­borns will look like, but Reese is ever evol­ving and more and more gor­geous every time I see her. Her 18 month shoot was no exception!

She sho­wed off her newly reno­va­ted sunshi­ney playroom.

And then we went outside to see what we could see.

12 – 36 months can be hard ages to shoot. Kid­dos have lear­ned to walk, and explore, and really have no inte­rest in being remo­tely con­fi­ned or told what to do. So in a stroke of genius, with the weather being per­fect, we did a project!

AYKM?! I can’t think of a bet­ter way to cap­ture this age!

And because we were outside, we just pic­ked up and hosed her off.

Thanks you Reese, and your mommy & baba, for kee­ping me in the loop of your life. I love seeing the beau­ti­ful young lady you are becoming!

Owen: One Month Old! 09.22.11 | New Hampshire Newborn Photography

Meet Owen! He’s currently 9 months old and I can only ima­gine how cute he is pro­bably all sit­ting up and droo­ling everywhere. When I met him at 1 month old he was already a loo­ker — and FULL of per­so­na­lity and charm!

And so very loved and ado­red by his mum & dad.

And pre­dis­po­sed to be a red­sox fan! (I LOVE his name on the wall!)

AYKM? With the pur­sed lips?! it’s TOO MUCH!

Boom. Boom. Fire Power!

you’re killin’ me smalls! <3

Thanks Owen, Melissa & Chris — and Rachel & Jason for sen­ding them my way!

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!

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!
