Only 3 Left for 2008!!

The title says it all folks! I have only three sessions left for 2008. If you are someone else you know is still interested in booking a session before the holidays, call me now.

With all that's been going on in our world economically, I know it may be difficult to imagine spending so much money on family photographs, but I truly believe that NOW is the time when we should be spending our money on things that matter most. On my website I have a verse that is woven throughout the site, it talks about thinking about things that are good, things that are beautiful, precious, noble. What better way to lift your spirits during tough times than to glance at a beautiful image of your family enjoying each other, loving being together, and just being them? Now is the best time to invest in things that matter, because most wordly investments are worthless.

For the first person to call me to book one of my last three sessions, I will GIVE you a leather bound 3x3 gift album, a $125 value. 603-991-8282.



This is a 15x30 storyboard, one of several in my collection. These and other storyboards like it are becoming my most popluar items. Instead of wallpapering your walls with bunches of images, I can create a custom storyboard for you instead. Call for more information.

Oh My Gracious, I Love This Family!

I have the privelege of meeting so many great families in my job, people who leave a little mark on my heart. And I am adding this family to that list of the good ones- some of the nicest kids you will ever meet. A photo shoot may not have been on the top of their list of things they wanted to do on this day, but they gave it their best and talked themselves into having a good time. Thanks to you B, C, and Q! You made my job easy!









And here's a few cousins added to the mix, all enjoying some mammoth lollis!
(C and B, I KNOW this was your fav part!)

Two Lovely Ladies

Didn't we have a fun time girls? These girls were just the most perfect little models, giving me all the best looks and all the best 'tudes! What a fun day we had in Woodstock. Thanks for being so good- you earned that yummy pumpkin ice cream!













Sugar and Spice

...ANd absolutely everything nice. Oh my, have you ever seen such cuteness? Surely you have not....











A and G, thank you for being such good sports in the cold and wet grass, for your beautiful smiles and your super duper sweetness. What a grand pleasure it was to be your photographer!

Busy Boy

I think I just met a little boy who is going to grow up to be something really amazing. You know how I can tell? Focus. And though this may sound a little crazy, he could seriously focus on lots of things all at one time. He was completely committing himself to the study of leaves, how a fire engine works, building a fence, eating carrots and mushrooms and even a little dirt, and the sound of an airplane. He was incredible to watch! I think whatever it is he chooses to do, he will fully immerse himself in that thing that will make him great. Have fun, Mom and Dad. You have an adventure ahead of you!











Thank you for choosing me to photograph your precious "T." It was a joy!

Meet the M Family

Ewwwwwww!!! Yup, that's what P, D, and E are saying cuz Dad is showing Mom some love. Now just a little warning. If you have an upcoming family session with me, I am most likely going to ask you Dads to show your brides some love. So, if you're not used to it, you may want to practice some before our session. I promise the practice will be fun. But then if you practice too much you may not get cute faces like these:













I had a great time photographing you all, M Family!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

We Battled the Rain...And Won!!

It was a crazy day in NY for doing a photo shoot- rain and fog lurked over the north country all morning. It cleared up just a bit and gave us light that lit the fall colors on fire, even though they had only just started to pop out! It made for some beautiful shots in the B Family's yard. And I thank you for being willing to take your yummy leather chair out into the road- you guys are so great! A photographer's dream family!

I will have the rest of your proofs to you in a few weeks! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Cool Country

Hello L Family! Thank you so mch for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family and those gorgeous chickens! (Did I just use the word gorgeous to describe chickens?) Yup, they were really pretty. They had black feathers with little wisps of irridescent ones - so neat! It was my first time ever even touching a chicken, and that was, well, cool! They are really quite soft and one of them came to her name being called. I had a great time meeting you all!

City Girl

Mom said, "No trees. Concrete!"
We had to drive a ways to find concrete but find it we did, along with some grafiti, some funky colored brick (though a little green tree popped onto the red bricks,)and a super cool fire escape. One of my all time favorite locations.

Caitlin, I hope you love these. You look beautiful,you ARE beautiful, and I hope you find your city and stay there as long as long as you like.... congrats on the start of your senior year!

Abundance

Whenever I meet a senior, there is always something about that person that stands out, something they are that becomes clear to me during a session. I met Kelsey through e-mail. We talked a bit about who she is, what she loves, what she aspires to be. She sent me some pictures of her and her friends. And before I ever met her, I just "got" that she IS abundance. I beleive she is passionate about many things, I can see she loves animals, she's creative, interested, engaged. She is surrounded by people (and a little ferret) who love her- friends, a brother, a Mom and I am sure many more. She lives, and she lives abundantly. I expect that Kelsey will be more of something than most of us can dream of. Thank you for letting me photograph you, Kelsey. I am blessed to have met you!



Art buffs, Kelsey wanted to do an image like "Lady with Ermine" by DaVinci- cool huh?
