These summertime smiles were brought to you by Portsmouth NH Mini sessions at the Urban Forestry Center. First up Miss Charlotte was fresh off the plane from her 1st birthday celebration in Disney! All decked out from ears to polka dots in her black, white & red Disney ensemble. she was full of smiles until …
A NH Cousin Family Session- What’s better than family? These two cousins will grow up knowing they’ve got a huge family that loves them! Did you know you can invite friends to your first-year collections? Everly and I had a superb NH Newborn Session, but a few weeks later, with family visiting, we planned an …
I love these Celebrate Family sessions! And this Great Island Common Family Photo Shoot is no exception. They’re also a family that’s been a part of my life, and my business, for over five years. It all started with this lovely couple on the left. They met, fell in love, and had these three beautiful …

I’m so grateful to bare witness to multiple generations, getting together (usually by some body of water) and celebrating each other. Such …
Today’s post is pretty personal. It’s my family. Finally. And the moral of the story is the time for photos is now. For at least a year now, every time I do a family shoot with all the cousins, for or with the grandparents, I think about how I should do that for MY grandparents. …
