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...

It’s a great New Hampshire Inn and many of the rooms have gorgeous views of the Mount Washington Valley. The...

Volvo, Reebok, Apple, REI, Microsoft, Jeep, McDonald’s, Columbia, Red Bull, Nikon…these are a few of the companies Chase...

We love mountains, so it works out nicely that we live amongst some. As I think I’ve mentioned, we live at the far, southern end of the Mt Washington Valley in New Hampshire (maybe just a tad beyond). If the Mt Washington Valley was a bathtub, we would probably be located somewhere around the drain...

Maddie and Dylan took a sled dog clinic last week at the adjoining King Pine Ski area, where they learned the basics of operating a sled, hooking up the dogs, and more importantly, how to stop! So, on Saturday they had...

Ok, so here we go, dipping our toe into the blog pool that the Internet has become. It would seem that we’re a little late to the party, but that’s alright with me, it’s still pretty exciting stuff. Come late, stay late…that works. I think blogging just peels away a layer or two from the...
