They say you’re not supposed to pick favorites. You’re supposed to love all your children equally. And I do, but sometimes there are greater factors at play. Sometimes the sun is setting just right, the tide is in the perfect spot, the temperature is absolutely perfect, and the kids are super willing to play along. …
I of course love Great Island Common Family Photos in any capacity, but one of the coolest things happened over and over again this summer. Generations of love. Families taking the time to celebrate being a family with family photos. Taking the time to coordinate schedules (a monumental task in and of itself), think about …
Back to the scene of the crime! I was so excited to receive this email from Karen & her family wanting to revisit their PCC wedding and take some Portsmouth Country Club Family Photos! So it’s been awhile since we last saw you, almost 3 years since Daryl and I got married! You were such …
Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It’s not your style; You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad Ya’ decide to smile! I’m glad the grey skies didn’t clear up too …
Talk about a flashback! Ethan & Emily were some of the first kiddos I photographed when I first started this “hey this is interesting” thing that has now become my full time job. If you’d like to take a look at my meager beginnings – then check out our first Prescott Park adventure! Seven years later …
Advice from a Lake Be clear Make positive ripples Look beneath the surface Stay calm Shore up friendships Take time to reflect Be full of life! This has definitely been the year of family! I’m so grateful to bare witness to multiple generations, getting together (usually by some body of water) and celebrating each other. Such …
This round of Exeter NH Mini Sessions brought me 15 families! 5 new families and 10 returning ones – what a great time! The weather ended up making 2 days in 2 weekends but that turned out to be a blessing and opened up the opportunity to a few more folks who couldn’t make the original …
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. …
I know I’ve blathered before about how much I love newborn photos, but it’s so so true. Aside from the obvious tiny cooingness of it all, and the blankets and bows and diaper covers I get to shop for and swoon over, I love seeing new families be truly centered in the newness of it …
Reese’s mom turned her baby’s first year collection into a baby’s first yearS collection, and it’s been such a privilege to watch this little one’s personality grow in spades! They’ve had this hilariously humongous bear at every shoot – he’s been lugged here, there, and everywhere, and never once complained about it. He looks downright …
