With this family I always know I’m going to get genuine smiles and fun. When Stephanie and Chris asked me if I could do a mini-session for them on a different day because on each of the day we had them scheduled one or the other of them were going to be out of town….
I feel like I’ve known Vanessa and Marty forever! When in fact it was only 4 years ago that I met these two in Boston. Since we met, they have gotten engaged, married and had a handsome baby boy. Vanessa has pretty much been my biggest fan and I love her for that. I’ve documented…
I can’t believe how fast this little girl has grown up. I feel like it was yesterday that I was taking newborn photos. I know, I know everyone says “they grow up so fast!!” But this is really the first time in my life I’ve been so close to someone with a baby and watching…
Just before heading to the coast of Maine for my wedding week I met up with Jeanette Rose, her husband and their two boys. This family was so happy to be away on vacation and wanted to capture their happiest moments here in North Conway for their portrait session. The two boys were a little…
Vanessa and Marty are no strangers to all you blog readers out there. They have graced these pages multiple times through engagements, wedding, maternity, new born, more baby and more baby and now MORE baby photos!!! Colton is growing up so fast and we are trying to stop and capture as much of it as…
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.
