“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 end up with some fantastic shots. Much props to Mom, Keaghan for keeping her in her “happy place”. We’re looking forward to 6 months…
These were her little moccasins. Very cute!
I LOVE this face…so plaintive. I think she may have been nearing the end of her patience here, but I suppose it isn’t easy being green. 
THE END… ~Tay
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 one of the local corn mazes here in New Hampshire. Taylor and I had never actually been to a corn maze and it was really cool! Thanks to Lake Knoll Farm in Alton, NH for allowing us to use their beautiful farm and corn maze—complete with red caboose—as a backdrop!

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 ours, and we had already talked about getting the oppotunity to photograph her, when we were asked to do her senior portraits. It was a beautiful day last week and we enjoyed shooting at some great locations near her home including a gorgeous mountain meadow, and a swift, rocky river. Alexa’s hair and makeup were styled by her Mom, Jen. With experience as a former model, Jen was great to have along, though Alexa was a natural and didn’t need much coaching! We all had a great time, and Taylor and I are so pumped about how these photos came out. One of our best shoots to date. thanks Alexa!
This next one has such a Peter Pan quality about it. Love it!
We were blessed with SO many keepers. I don’t envy Alexa and her family choosing their favorites, what are yours? –K&Tay

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 post is proof! Rhonda Demone is a photographer from Nova Scotia who contacted us a few months ago and booked a shoot to coincide with her Family’s vacation in North Conway. We got together with Rhonda, Brian and the kids last week for the shoot and had a blast! The kids were awesome and thanks to mom being a photog, were used to being in front of the camera. We had a great time and want to thank the Demone’s for choosing Birch Blaze! Here are some of our favorites from the session…
Here’s one of those shots that was kind of like an inbetween shot, but with this treatment I think it takes on a very poetic feel:
What a beautiful and fun family! We had a great time and hopefully, one of these days we’ll drive up to Nova Scotia and say hi. Thanks again Rhonda, Brian and kids, and your image disc is on its way!

Hey Guys! It’s been a busy spring for us so far and it’s not going to relent anytime soon (it’s me, parenthetical Kerry, by the way). I’m leaving tomorrow morning to go for a 4 day, 3 night excursion with my Son Dylan’s 6th grade class. That’s right, 4 days, 3 nights, 20+ 6th graders… pray for me. We’re going to be visiting Portland Maine, Boothbay Harbor and Acadia Nat’l Park. Gonna stay in hotels with pools and feasting on lobster, so I’m told (how come they never had trips like this when I was in school?!). We actually just got back from Portland, where we attended our 3 day Bible convention. It was stupendous and we got to see a lot of friends we haven’t seen in a while. We took the kids out for their first ever visit to an authentic indian restaurant in the Old Port, the “Hi Bombay,” which I like to say in a conversational tone as if I hadn’t seen Bombay in quite a while. Our waiter was cool and the food was great. We walked around the Old Port’s cobblestoned streets afterwards. Gotta love the Old Port. We didn’t take very many pics ’cause it just wasn’t that kind of a trip, but here’s a few that were fun…
My dah’lins (as our friend Richard would say).
Dylan was all about the pool…as any self-respecting 12 year old would be.

This is Taylor’s Cousin Allison’s Husband Chris and thier soon-to-be middle Son (just kidding!) Quinn. Doesn’t he so look like a Quinn?
Quinn rockin’ the snap-brim!
Oh yeah, here’s my crazy Nephew Alex!
See ya next time! -k
