Sam, Josh & I have some essential things in common; loving our families, wine, and OREOS. I have a ridiculous fascination with Oreos, the more stuffed, the better. I knew from our first meeting we’d have lots of fun together, and I was so grateful they were gifted such a glorious evening for their Newburyport …
Another round of NH beach sunset family photos – this past summer was like a dream. A dream I would never have fully appreciated if I did have the honor of spending time with these families as they commemorate a moment, however big or small. Taking pictures with your children should never be something you …
Sometimes things happen for a reason. (I actually think most of the time things happen for a reason) In this instance, Kathryn, Andrew & I were supposed to meet in Portsmouth on Pierce Island for our photo rendezvoux when we realized that the Spanish tall ship El Galeon Andalucia was sailing into Portsmouth and docking at Pierce …
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 …
Julie & Jay were sent over to me after Mel & Michelle’s spectacular Mill 1 at Open Square Wedding. We met up for coffee and chatted and she mentioned something about her sister just getting engaged. After I got home, I brought up a WHYM Beer Friend, Jess on facebook – and low and behold – …
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I’m a townie. Though I was born in Massachusetts, we’ve lived in the Exeter area since I was in 6th grade. I hated it at first. HATED IT. I mean, what kid wants to be uprooted at the peak of awkward from the friends that already accept her …
One of the places I’d been waiting for the opportunity to photograph for a while now was Kenoza Lake. I’d heard they had great walking/jogging trails and even better, it’s along side of a castle! I had been to Winnekenni Castle as a kid, but it had been years, and I certainly wasn’t thinking about …
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.” [Notebook, Oct. 10, 1842]” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The American Notebooks Well said Mr. Hawthorne, well said! There’s a different kind of magic in the fall sunset. The angle to the earth and all that scientific mumbo jumbo I suppose, …
Kelly & John had a perfect August day for their oceanside wedding. Their yellow and blue color scheme was executed perfectly, and they custom corn-hole game was a huge hit! They capped off the night with a sparkler exit and rode the trolley off into happily ever after! Event Coordinator Wentworth By the Sea Country …
I don’t know how many more ways I can tell you how awesome Dave & Art are. I raved about them after their Nahant Sunset Engagement Session which left me beyond excited for their wedding day. I arrived at their house as they were getting ready for the after party. Once all the preparation was done, …
