Sarah & Derek restored my faith in humanity. Probably THE MOST embarrassing thing to every happen to me professionally happened when I met them for their Portsmouth NH Winter Engagement Photos. I didn’t have any batteries for my cameras. It’s like having the nightmare you show up to the first day of school naked, and …
Sometimes, you can believe everything you read on the internet – “We’ve looked at lots of photographers websites at this point, and we think you’d be a great fit for us! You seem like you have a great sense of humor, your photos are amazing, and you have fantastic reviews… We would love for you …
These are the emails that excite me the most: 25 months in advance of their wedding, I received this inquiry from Jen. “We are having an afternoon wedding at Portsmouth Country Club. I know it’s far in advance but having looked at your photos, I don’t want to miss out on the opportunity!” We met …
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 …
The way to my heart? Good, solid, words. (grammar is not my strongest suit, but words – words I love) Stephanie & Mike sent me an email inquiry that included this paragraph “We’re planning to have a group of about 130 people at the MVG’s Crystal Ballroom/Fountain View Terrace for a vintage inspired, old-Hollywood type …
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Green As I sat in the car waiting for the torrential downpour to pass, feverishly refreshing the radar screen to confirm that it was the last cell to pass for the afternoon, I had no idea of …
Megan & Sean found me all the way from Texas! (thanks internet!) and I was super excited to meet them when they came up to visit for Thanksgiving. They braved the biting cold (and made it look warm and cozy!) as we walked around Portsmouth and captured their utter adoration towards each other! I love …
Finley is one lucky little boy. The most gorgeous, amazing & brilliant parents, and a precocious older brother, Fisher who’s going to show him the ropes. I photographed Fisher’s newborn photos at Prescott Park, but this time we gathered at their new home and had a comfy, relaxed family session! (see more newborns in this …
Arianna & Faith percolate with happiness. You can’t be near them and not smile, and when they’re together, it’s infinite! They got ready separately and took two rounds of limo down to Prescott Park for their super adorable first look! After we tore up the town for some photos, we headed over to Flag Hill …
Sometimes people just fit, like a puzzle. Tracey & Ryan are two such interlocking pieces. They curl up into each other perfectly and make life look easy. We had a fantastic time in and around Strawbery Banke and Prescott Park for their Portsmouth, NH engagement shoot! We were festooned with sunshine, leaves, door frames, …
