Jackson Family

What a fantastic family these guys are! They all had a great sense of humor and had fun with the session. It was really great to meet them all and I hope they make their mother very happy, and wonderfully surprised, with the family photo! (SJ- do tell how it goes over!)

If you click the top photo you'll see a slideshow. The backdropped pictures at the end were taken to mimick (and hopefully update) high school photos their mom still has up in the hallway. (Their impromtu idea.)  Love it!

Fifteen minutes of smiles

This session spoke to how powerful relationships can be in lifting us up and erasing even the worse of moods. This little man wasn't very happy until his older, and totally idolized, cousin arrived.  I'm convinced that there is no bad mood that he can't melt away. We may have only been able to get 15 minutes of smiles, but that was enough fun to fill up my memory card. A few of my favorites:

Jessica and Jim Engagement

Jessica and Jim ventured with me out to Newbury, MA to a great conservation property that afforded us terrific views of a sunset and lots of room for their wonderful dog to roam. It was great to get to know both of them better and I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding next year!

Enjoy the show! (Click on the top pic to view.)

Brandon's First Year

I vividly recall my sister-in-law sending my then 5 year old over to me a couple years ago Thanksgiving to whisper in my ear the news that she had a baby in her belly. Little did she know that I did too, and the 5 year old was happy to reciprocate with my news. What a grand surprise. Now we have two terrific one-year-olds to enjoy. Here's to you, little man, and your parents who couldn't adore you more!

Amy and Joe Engagement

I think it was the beginning of the summer when Amy contacted me to do these photos for her and Joe. So glad they did! They love the Lakes in NH and Meredith, NH provided a lovely backdrop for some images I hope they treasure!  All my best guys!

Kris and Abby Engagement Session

I was so excited to see my cousin Kris and his terrific bride-to-be, Abby, a couple weeks ago for their engagement session. They were up for anything despite the cold weather; making it lots of fun for me! Abby and Kris are the kind of couple that  "feel" right together. They make each other happy and it comes through in photos. Enjoy this slideshow of some of my favorite shots of the lovely couple.
