Erica's Baby Shower

Erica's Maternity Shoot was a few months back, and she's been talking about doing another, however I had to keep mum about her baby shower that was held this past Saturday the 9th, so I waited to make plans with her. With only 6 weeks left, she looks GREAT and was very excited about her friends and family gathering for her party! Her two closest friends also had beautiful baby boys in the past 3 months. I just love a baby shower where I already get to hold a baby!

DJ Jodi @ Maine Street Ogunquit

DJ Jodi's reputation had far proceeded her when I finally met her back in October after literally years of people I know attending her events. Finally working together on Saturday February 2nd, I went to work with at the fabulous Maine Street Ogunquit for one of her monthly women's dances. The crowd was great and the energy fantastic - she kept them dancing till they could just about dance no more. Jodi is going to be the DJ at our reception in April and I can't wait!



























Hey, Melissa I thought I'd say hi and let you know I love the pics! There are some great ones to use on my site and Norm's!
Thanks
Jodi

Standing on the Side of Love

Standing on the Side of Love: A Family-Friendly Celebration of NH’s Civil Union Law January 1, 2008, Noon - 3PM South Church UU, State Street Portsmouth, NH

I was honored to be asked to photograph this once in a lifetime event celebrating the institution of NH Civil Unions. Although yet another snow storm was in our forecast, 250 people attended the well planned worship/concert/potluck/PARTY! There was a plethora of media coverage - and while that's all well and good, there were a few times I couldn't get another photographer out of my shot! In all though, it was quite a successful day - and as the Rev. Roberta Finkelstein, succinctly summed up "We let ourselves celebrate and honor this moment. But let this day also remind us that full marriage equality is still in our future in New Hampshire if we continue to make it so."

80th Birthday Celebration

I've known Mr & Mrs Sanderson for a while now - I climbed the scaffolding of the North Church with them last October amongst other things. Mr. Sanderson is an ambitious man, as represented by his joyous family & friends, mountain climbing cake, and folk singing and dancing at the 165 person party thrown Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate his 80th birthday.






























































Dear Melissa, Forgive me, please, for taking so long to get back to you. The pictures are just wonderful! We couldn't be more pleased, and certainly would like to have some. I need to do my Christmas letter, and would like to use several of them in it. Thank you! Thank you! And love, Ellie
