Deanna and Steve got married under a brilliant blue New England sky at the beautiful Barrett orchard in Keene. It was a gorgeous outdoor setting for a gorgeous couple. They’re the kind of couple that doesn’t just hug, they jump into each other’s arms. The kind of couple that quotes Winnie the Pooh in their wedding ceremony. The kind of couple who’s unique, thoughtful, romantic, vibrant and full of contagious joy and energy. This joy and energy carried through the night as they danced, played musical chairs and ate delicious pies alongside their closest friends and family at the Walpole Town Hall.
It was very special for me to be a part of such an important day for Deanna and Steve. I first met Deanna when she was my daughter’s 2nd grade and theater teacher. She’s since become a good friend and great influence for my daughter. I was honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding and thrilled to find out she would be teaching Eliza again in the 4th grade.
Congratulations, Deanna and Steve!
Deanna’s beautifully vibrant shoes peeked from under her dress for a little pop of color.

Walpole Town Hall Wedding

The relationship I have with the people I photograph is one of the most important components of good photography, so I was thrilled when Kim contacted me about an anniversary portrait session. I know Kim and her husband Craig well. I first had the opportunity to work with them during their engagement session two years ago, and then again on their wedding day last year. Each of those times were filled with lots of laughter and smiles with a couple that is an absolute pleasure to photograph.
For this session, Kim liked the idea of doing something different than what we had done before, so we headed to downtown Keene, NH for an evening session. I have photographed downtown before, but I am always excited by the new creative possibilities available within a relatively small section of downtown. The laughter and smiles continued this year. Here are some of our favorites from the session.

One Year Anniversary Portraits

During senior portrait sessions, seniors will sometimes bring a prop that has special meaning or significance. For BriAna’s studio session, she brought one of her owls. She loves owls, and we had fun posing the owl in a few of the photos. After her her studio session, we discussed ideas for where to go for her on-location session that we had scheduled. I then remembered that at the Vermont Institue of Natural Science (VINS) you can set up a session to photograph the birds. Would they let us photograph a real owl as part of a senior portait session? Yes!
The Barred Owl we worked with was wonderful, as was the staff at VINS. We got some great portraits of the two of them before heading into the fields of lupine with just BriAna.

I always love photographing children, and I recently had the opportunity to photograph two sisters in the garden at my studio in Keene. When I work with children, my goal is to make it a fun play date for them. We definitely had fun during this session. I knew I was successful when they asked if they can come back for another play date!
Here are a few of my favorites.

I first met Katie several years ago when she was teaching at my children’s preschool, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph her wedding this past weekend. She and Josh had a beautiful Vermont country wedding in Clarendon, VT. They got married in a field by a pond with the Green Mountains in the background. They could not have asked for a more beautiful day for a wedding, and being surrounded by their friends and family made it such a wonderful day of celebration.
Here are a few highlights from the day.
