Sarah & Sofia L.O.V.E shoot 10.22.10 | Durham, NH Couple’s Shoot

Blog­ging along, blog­ging along on the bot­tom of the beau­ti­ful briny sea…

Well, beside it anyway.

Up next in MKPland are Sarah & Sofia. This delight­ful duo were loo­king for some l.o.v.e. shots and I was happy to oblige. We ven­tu­red out to Adams Point in Durham, NH for our adventure.

Many thanks to Sarah for endu­ring a few overly zea­lous waves that kept coming up behind her to say hello ;)

So cute and so sweet with each other.

Uh, most of the time…

Ah, there we go — that’s bet­ter. (hello sunshine! hello warmth! hello color! we miss you around here!)

Sofia wasn’t so sure about the pho­tos with the swamp. I tried to assure it her it was a marsh and than­ked her for pla­ying along. It’s one of my favorites!

Oh sun­light, how I love you so!

Thank you both for the oppor­tu­nity to galli­vant around the point on a beau­ti­ful day!

Reed & Eliza 10.20.10 | Exeter, NH Children’s Photography

These kid­dos hold a spe­cial little place in my heart. Miss 7 month old Eliza and Mr. I’m a big guy who doesn’t really need to have his pic­tu­res taken this time Reed.

So we deci­ded to start with Eliza and she was more than happy to take the stage. Look at the dim­ple! I simply can­not get past her cuteness.

Reed is a very doting big brother howe­ver, and even­tually we con­vin­ced him to come over and get us to help her smile. She just LIGHTS up when she sees him.

My favo­rite favo­rite. FAVORITE.

I don’t remem­ber this one stic­king out to me when I post pro­ces­sed but I’m totally in love with it now. Maybe I just miss baby toes & green grass…

Brother!

Shortly after the glee and hap­pi­ness in the above photo, Eliza got a good fist full of Reed’s hair and — yank. There were tears; and laugh­ter; and when ever­yone regrou­ped they loo­ked just like this. <3

We were also finally able to con­vince Reed that he could star in a few pho­tos alone too — just get him to tell a story and all is golden!

These were the last shots. I was just about to wrap it up saying goodbye and we loo­ked over and found this — clas­sic Reed.

Pam & Mason, you have some ama­zingly gor­geous per­fect sweet won­der­ful lovely kids. Thank you for allo­wing me to share in a moment of their lives!

Nicole & Haven: Engaged! 10.18.10 | Exeter, NH Engagement Photos

Nicole & Haven and I met up at Applec­rest Farm Orchards for some enga­ge­ment pho­tos. Usually it takes a little while for peo­ple to warm up to the camera — but right out of the gate Nicole had her ANTM face on.

They are two of the swee­test peo­ple ever. And so made for each other!

She has a great laugh — and she’s not afraid to use it!

The photo on the left looks like some spoo­fed stu­dio shot. I assure you, they pic­ked their own flo­wer and we were hiding in an alcove right off Rt. 88!

Um, Haven? Whacha doin?

We pla­yed until just about sun­set — And I loved every minute of it.

They both work at Mombo Res­tau­rant in Ports­mouth and casually men­tio­ned we should come over some­time for a drink. Well, little did they know — - we’ve since spent two AMAZING eve­nings at Mombo and I can’t even begin to put into words the qua­lity of the food. From appe­ti­zers to des­sert everything is fan­tas­ti­cally con­cei­ved and exe­cu­ted. If I could, I would eat there nightly. And Nicole is one of the best bar­ten­ders I know! I HIGHLY recom­mend the experience!

I’m sure I’ll be seeing them again before their, what I’m sure will be exqui­site wed­ding on 09.10.11!

Lots of love guys!

Hampton Inn & Suites | Exeter, NH Commercial Photography

Shan­non & I are both mem­bers of the Exe­ter Area Cham­ber of Com­merce and when she nee­ded pho­tos of the new Hamp­ton Inn & Sui­tes where she’s sales mana­ger, I was happy to oblige. I mean, who wouldn’t want a sneak peek into this gor­geous new hotel!?

Con­ti­nen­tal break­fast (with waf­fle station!)

Coffe & tea all day

Part of the main lobby (i love the floors!)

That’s a salt water pool — so cool!

Mini kitchen area in every room.

The breakfast/​sitting area

We had way to much fun — and it really was a great expe­rience to see all the dif­fe­rent rooms and ame­ni­ties this hotel has to offer!

Wilson Family 10.17.10 | Holderness, NH Family Photography

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 niece Avery sho­wing me the owls.

See? Owls!

On the left is the gor­geous mor­ning sun, and on the right is my gor­geous all the time son. ;)

Mama & her babes.

The boys — I gasp when I see how tall my kid is; my brother is something like 6’2″ — and Ben­ja­min is only 10! The photo of Killi & Daddy makes me all proud older sis­ter like.

My baby brother (who just tur­ned 29!) I’m going to have some serious anxiety when he turns 30. Yikes.

Avery with her boys.

More of the ani­mals that they have there. (It took all the res­traint I had to not put this on the above pho­tos too ;) )

The grandchil­dren. I’m sure he’s chan­ne­ling Gil­bert Godfried.

On the way home I tor­tu­red Ben­ja­min with a few senic shots -

I’m a suc­ker for a cove­red bridge!

Thanks for the adven­ture family!

Amanda: Class of 2011 | Exeter, NH Senior Photographer

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!

Darcie: Class of 2011 | Hampton, NH Senior Photos

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 :)
