Sarah & Jim, Engaged | Meredith, NH

One of the best things about my slow season is the ability to edit most sessions with record speed. I get so excited. I met up with Sarah and Jim for their engagement session yesterday. YESTERDAY. And I am all finished! Enough about that..... I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and Jim a few months ago when they approached me about photographing their sure-to-be-amazing winter wedding this coming December. I CANNOT wait. Hopefully at that time we will have at least a pretty covering of that fantastic white snow we all remember (remember when it used to SNOW in New Hampshire???). Originally we were hoping for some today and I even showed up in gaiters, boots, and snow pants just in case (the field at our house is still covered and I often shoot on the ground......). We had a little, but not too much. Cold weather however, was in abundance and Sarah and Jim were such troopers for dealing with my really lame sense of humor and awkwardness in the freezing cold. It was so nice to get to know them and get in a little practice in front of the camera before the big day. Thanks so much Sarah and Jim! I am so jazzed for December!

Family Portrait Session | Meredith, NH Photographer

It seems like I start every post by saying "what a wonderful family", or something of the like. However, it is so true every time I say it. I am so fortunate to meet some of the most wonderful people and this family was no exception. With super sweet parents and two adorable energetic little girls this family is surely another on my list of people I hope to cross paths with again.

Love the flying braid!

This little one was pretty shy at first......

but not so much after ;)

♥ sisters

Probably one of my favorite shots, I just love all the things happening in it.

So sweet together! Makes me want to squeee!

{May I also offer kudos to whomever it was that completed two sets of double french braids by 9am on two girls under 5?! Woah.}

I LOVE this shot of Mom and Dad. Just look at them together ♥

As I was heading back to my car I turned around while waiting for a walk light and saw this.... glad I turned back. Caught them on the bridge admiring the water below, or searching for fishies ;)

Family Session in Meredith 10.16.11

What a great morning for photos, not too much sun, but enough. I suppose it could have been a little warmer however. My very short and cute assistant was too busy thinking about what books to bring along to bother to bring the extra layer I recommended so kindly, I gave mine up and froze right along with the family. What a great time we had hanging around Mill Falls Marketplace and then heading across the street to throw rocks in the lake, I mean, finish the photo session. With Mom, Dad, and four boys ranging from just under one to just under 18 it was a blast trying to keep up with them all! Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.
