Senior Portraits Class of 2012

This fall I spent a lot of time building my portfolio and trying new things. An opportunity came across my plate to shoot some senior portraits and I was eager to take it. Having little time to get them in and having spent the summer doing no research on seniors, I was a bit nervous, but knew I had to make it work.

With the short time frame we headed down to the Ashland town beach and were lucky enough to have the weather cooperate. Kay was so easy to work. I can't thank her and her mother enough for this wonderful opportunity!



Through the fence.....


Love this one, she's just so pretty....

Freezing Family Photos | Danbury, NH

First snow of the year, right before Halloween! This photo session was given to one of my sister-in-law's co-workers for a birthday present so that she could get a few photos of the family together before her son headed back to Texas. Unfortunately, with some conflicting schedules we were still missing someone, but it was great to be able to get some shots of Pam and both kids before her son Journeyed back home.

Of course, I was still preparing for Halloween at home, but found this hiding in the woods while scoping out spots....

To start, I had the ladies bookend this super cute bench (because we were certain this old bench wouldn't hold all three, it is really for looks rather than function, but thankfully it held up. Had anyone sat in the middle section by themselves or with anyone else, it would have been a disaster. I know, I almost wore the bench as a skirt when standing on it at one point...... lol. Thankfully I did not destruct their property).

Then we moved right along and did a few more shots of just the people. They had a great sense of humor and were a ton of fun to work with.


Having an older brother myself, I can totally relate to this one.....

Then it was time for the animals......
Just look at the face on this pup!

And this sweet old girl....

So beautiful.

And then this crazy guy came out to play! And wouldn't you know.... for the first time ever I had a goat try to eat my hair while I was looking through the viewfinder.

We were all freezing, but took advantage of the snow for one more group shot.

I had a blast joking around and laughing with this crew.
Of course, I found this one on the way out.....

Family Portraits | Squam Lake, NH Photographer

This past autumn I had the pleasure of photographing my Girl Scout co-leader and her family. I must say, those kids are 100% replicas of their parents. Mom and daughter even sound just like each other... of course, mom is missing that slight hint of attitude that we all remember having at one point :)

Though it was a rather dark day, we lucked out enough to miss the rain. The first part of the session was spent around Squam Lake followed by a few personal shots of the kids at home.




I remember almost nine years ago when this pretty teen was just a little girl hanging out at my baby shower. Crazy.


Then we moved on to their home to take a few shots of this crazy guy in his element...


Of course, kitty found his way into the photos as well ;)

Lastly, we did a few shots with the dirt bikes to send along as thank yous to his racing sponsors. This kid sure can zip right around!


Thank you so much for a fun afternoon!

Large Group - 50th Anniversay - Bristol, NH Photographer

Very fun, easy, fast large group session done on Newfound Lake to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of a former BFD Chief and his beautiful bride. What an honor it was for me to photograph the former chief of the department my husband calls home 48+ hours each week. Their daughter (who's adorable little family I have had the pleasure of photographing at the end of the summer) along with her siblings coordinated the photo session and of course, a celebration. Congratulations on 50 years of marriage to the wonderful couple!

Child Portraits | Ashland, NH Photographer

More photos from one of my favorite families (can you tell my husband and I know a LOT of amazing people?). As much as I love meeting new people and families and getting to know them I get just as much enjoyment if not more out of getting to know some of the people we see all the time as families bonding and showcasing their closeness. These two girls come from an awesome family and it shows. One is a fantastic babysitter for our daughter and the other is a wonderful friend. With interests such as basketball, hockey, skating, and drums these girls are surely going to keep their parents on their toes. To add, I must say that big sister looks just like her mother and little sister looks just like her father. And both have a quiet hidden humorous side that both their parents share.

So pretty ♥
