“Babies are such a nice way to start people.” ~ Don Herald
In November we had the opportunity to photograph my cousin’s beautiful baby Carley. And may I just say that you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced such nummyness! I’m slightly enamored. She was a trooper for most of the shoot and she hung in there long enough for us to...

We LOVE shooting seniors pics! The kids don’t always know what to expect and are usually a little nervous at first, but they’re old pros by the time we finish and a good time is had by all. Melissa was no exception and she was totally into our idea of taking her senior photos at...

I was pretty bummed when my bud Derek moved out to Colorado a few years back. We were bandmates and had some great times together and I’ve missed his wacky sense of humor and penchant for solving problems, especially mechanical ones (among Derek’s creations are a complete salt-water aquarium filtration system, a full home-brewing set-up...

Last Saturday, we photographed Jessica and Spencer’s beautiful outdoor wedding in Tuftonboro, New Hampshire. We first met Jessica in early June and right away we were giddy with excitement. She was beautiful and sweet, had a lovely family and a gorgeous location. It was going to be a good day. The ceremony was at Millstone...

After a great wedding client meeting in North Conway, Taylor and I drove up to Freeport, Maine this past Saturday to see Dar Williams appearing at the LL Bean summer concert series. We love Dar Williams—she’s a very funny modern folk singer-songwriter—and were thrilled to get to see her at this very cool venue. It...

What a great time of year for photography! We love the way the sun drapes the New Hampshire hills, mountains and woodlands in late summer, early autumn. The golden tones of an August evening set against the lush greens that the oft-lamented rains have gifted us this year.
Alexa and her family are good friends of...

Wanderlust – “ a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about.” It’ s in our blood. We’ve been known to become uncomfortably involved with a class VI road because we “just want to see what’s around the corner.” Anyway, while we can’t travel as extensively as we’d like right now, we try to have fun with little road trips....

As some of you may know, I’m also a graphic designer. My biggest claim-to-fame so far is that I design & layout the new standup paddlesurfing magazine, “Standup Journal.” The mag photographically chronicals the relatively new sport that’s a lot like surfing, but you use a long paddle. It’s pretty cool ’cause you don’t need a...

Ok, folks, I know, I know… yes, it’s been a while…So sorry about that, really. It might have something to do with the major remodeling project we have going at our house right now (as in, completely ripping out our floor, right down to the dirt!). But anyway, we have still been shooting and this...

This is our last series of photos we did this past spring for the Valley Originals, a group of independent restaurants and inns in the Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire. It just so happens that the Mt. Washington Valley of NH actually runs into the State of Maine as well, including the town of...
