Kate & Marcus' Engagement Shoot

Kate & Marcus are a relaxed, fun loving couple and are so excited about being in love it just radiates from them. I had a wonderful time with them in Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH a few weekends ago. Kate had really hoped to find some wonderful foliage for a back drop but try as we might, the trees in town had just not quite turned yet. We managed to find a peaceful hill with a few colorful leaves and the two of them basked in the sunlight.














































Thanks Melissa! They look great! Can't wait to share them with Marcus tonight!

Kim & Brian's Engagement Shoot

Kim & Brian are one of my wedding couples scheduled for June 2008. They decided to take advantage of my engagement photo option on their wedding agreement and we met up in Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH this past weekend.

The weather could not have been more perfect; quintessential autumn in New England.

We had to 'work around' the chili festival that was going on, but it proved to be a fun atmosphere and the live band made it feel more like a party than a photography shoot.




























I just love looking at these! I've showed them to many people - youare getting lots of compliments! Brian's sister will be gettingmarried in a few years (when she's out of school) and she was sayingthat she would like to use you!

Matthew's Adventure at Cider Hill

After willing the rain away, the sun shone brightly for my adventure to Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, MA to meet up 9 month old Matthew and his parents.

He wanted to bring home all the pumpkins.. and apples. Try as he might he never quite broke the skin on the one I picked for him, but we all had a great time none-the-less!

Spread the Word!

Today I dropped off my gift bag items for the Same Love, Same Rights 'Mobile Marriage Summit' at the Sheraton Harborside in Portsmouth today.

I'm very excited about they way they came out - I designed them ~ but I wasn't sure how the they would look after they were printed. It turns out I had nothing to worry about! They are gorgeous, the colors are vibrant and the whites are white! (Sort of sounds like a laundry detergent commercial...)

But instead, it's a commercial for me! (sort of)

Here they are..

They measure 4x3.5, which is the equivilant of laying out 2 business cards, one on top of each other.

I'll be attending the summit on Sunday to see what it's all about and see what else is in the gift bags along with me!

It's free to all, so come out and show your support.

Little Logan!

Crazy toes and that contagious baby giggle, Logan was just about 5 months old when I had the pleasure of taking his pictures.
