Diane Arbus put her love for photography into the perfect words: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies”. I say bring on the cookies and while I am stuffing my face with sugary goodness I am also striving to capture the emotion, moments and love that is happening right in front of my lens.
I am a wife (newly wed!!!), a doggy momma and 6 feet tall. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but have found myself warming up to the new trend of leggings- almost as comfortable as yoga pants yet acceptable to be seen in public wearing. I love to travel and can't wait to get back to Scotland where my husband, Silas, and I spent our honeymoon. I love people and I love to talk. I hate to write, I'm a terrible speller (thank goodness for spell check). I am a wanna-be foodie and wineo.
I'm a pretty easy going person and I think that aspect of my personality really comes through in my style of photography. I'm not a photographer who poses you by coming up and moving your left arm here, your right arm like that, twist your head this way and that... I'm a little more hands off and a little more about you being you in front of the camera. When it comes down to it you are hiring me to capture YOU. Your life, your family, your wedding. The more I can do to make you comfortable and feel like yourself the better. You'll often hear me say things like "snuggle" to my couples or tell the kids to go kick a soccer ball in the yard for family photos.
I want to know you, we can grab a drink or have dinner at a local pub or just walk down the street to my favorite coffee shop but my goal is to get to know you just a little bit better so that when I'm capturing your life, be it your wedding day, engagement photos or family pictures that you are comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with you so that this camera in my hand isn't the main focus of the day. Capturing you and your life is.
So, hears to a joyous life full of love and beautiful art.Lytta and Michael met at their friends wedding. They were the best man and maid of honor… I think their friends must have planned it, because now here they are getting married. These two love birds are getting married the first weekend in September at Purity Springs Resort in Madison NH.
We had rescheduled their shoot because of rain once before and as I drove south on Rt 1 rain drops started to fall and I was so worried we were going to have to reschedule again. Luckily within minutes of it starting to rain the clouds cleared revealing a beautiful sunny afternoon. So, with the noise of the jet engines from Logan across the water and the warm sun shining, we started our shoot at Constitution Beach.
Lytta is a natural in front of the camera- look at her work those angles.
LOVE that you can see the skyline of Boston in the background of these.
This next one might be my favorite of the day! Just look at the way he looks at her… makes my heart flutter.
See the airplane?
These two were so easy going and had no problem finding their inner models.
Lytta told me there was a cool blue bridge over across the park- So glad she mentioned it.
