Dana and Austin.... running wild!

When my uncle George called me and asked me if i would mind photographing his two grandsons I could hardly wait! Dana and Austin have been spending lots of time with their amazing grandparents and I was excited to document their electric connection!

Dana and Austin were vacationing up at the beach with all of us... so I thought that would be the best place for our photos!


We thought the rain might stop us, but we were prepared!








Infinite possibilities!


Things got a little wild...





... and a LOT wet!



The boys!






Thank you Uncle George... photographing all of you was a total blast!!!! Looking forward to our next session!

Shane, Sam and Spencer

Shane, Sam and Spencer... Imagine how excited I was when I laid my eyes on these beautiful little guys!

With equal parts handsome, sweet and fun these wise guys made for an eventful afternoon! We started on the front steps of their home.. and then made use of a great fence in their backyard... not to mention custom adirondack chairs!





We headed over to Wrights Pond for some sunset photographs...




The entire family...



I love how still the water was.. it was like a mirror!






Thank you guys for so much fun while we took photos... i still have sand between my toes!

Alyssa and Joe are married!

My lifelong galpal Alyssa married one of the sweetest guys in the world this weekend in Keene, NH!
Alyssa and I met many many many many years ago at Alumni Field in when we were cheerleaders for The Keene Knights! (Love Pop Warner!!)When Alyssa and Joe first got engaged, Alyssa called me up and told me the exciting story in detail... I love that from the minute Joe saw her he knew he wanted to marry her... and after some persistence, Alyssa decided to go out on a date with him.... She knew then too that he was the guy for her!
Since they started dating, Joe enlisted in the US Army and has been far away in Texas training... so when Alyssa went down to visit him, he surprised with her a gorgeous diamond!!!
Here are some of my favorite images from their wedding day....





Out and about in downtown Keene...




A tender moment during the ceremony taken while Alyssa's cousin Kelly (who also happened to be my preschool teacher 23 years ago!) sang "Grow Old With me" by John Lennon.. it was beautiful!



Some photos at The Keene Country Club.. Shaena Rodriguez was the event coordinator and she was fabulous!! I highly recommend having her for any event!








Thank you Alyssa and Joe for including me in your day!

Cassandra and Steve - Engagement photos

My long time friend Cassandra and Steve got engaged during Superbowl XLII... We Painfully joke around that she is the only one in New England who got a ring that day!

Cassandra and Steve have so much personality.. I wanted to make sure that their Engagement photos reflected how fun they are!

We started up at Paradise Mini Golf in Middleton which is where they went on their first date...

A little hands-on lession....




This was the very spot where the magic started....



This wall was right next to the driving range and the light was just so perfect....



We then headed to this gorgeous spot...






The sun was getting low and i loved the punchy shadows!




This photograph was taken in my favorite hidden spot... It is definitely of my favorite images from the day....



Then we hopped in our cars and headed to the Everett Firestation where Steve is a very brave firefighter! Fortunately we picked quiet time of day to do some photos there...







Cassandra and Steve, Thank you both so much for being so fun and crazy at our session... I literally asked you to jump and you said "How high?" What more could a photographer ask for?

I can hardly wait for your halloween inspired wedding... it will be so fun!
