Ally and Adam are what I like to call my ideal clients. These two are the sweetest people on the planet. When we first met and sat down for eggs and pancakes at a local breakfast place I immediately knew we would hit it off. They were full of smiles and stories of their time…
I’m loving these simple little tins I found for my DVD’s. They are clean and basic but with a sweet little vintage ribbon and personalize name tag they feel so much less sterile and way more soft and classy. I think everything is better with a personalized touch and come on- who doesn’t love some…
My summers were always about summer camp. I spent 11 years of my youth under the pine trees and in Crystal Lake in Eaton NH at Waukeela Camp for girls. Those days were filled with swimming, white water canoeing, horse back riding along with tons of other fun outdoor activities. We also spend a vast…
As some of you may remember a few months ago, back when everything was white and frozen I ran a facebook portrait contest. After a few weeks of trying to nail down a date with the winners we decided to push it back until it was nice and warm out. Here we are in June…
Meredith & Patrick are outdoor enthusiasts. They love to spend time outside be it ski season or golf season. They often spend weekends in Mt. Washington Valley enjoying all the different seasons outdoor activities. Last weekend they made the trip up to the mountains from their Maine coast home for their engagement session. We dodged…
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.
