Emile: “I met Irene at a dance. I saw her across the room. We married six months later.” “Dancing was our life. We used to go to Canada, to the Frontenac, where Guy Lombardo would be playing.” “Irene was in the nursing home before me. I visited her from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every
Rebecca and Tim live in Massachusetts and are planning their winter wedding in Plymouth, NH. For their engagement session, we explored the trails and streams of Waterville Valley. There was still snow–the ski area had only just closed for the season–but the day was warm. Tim surprised Rebecca with a proposal at their favorite restaurant
Last week, I held the second Headshot Day at The Enterprise Center in Plymouth, NH. These sessions are a perfect way for actors to update their headshots for casting directors, and for business people to use on LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media. Headshot sessions are different from my portrait and wedding photography because we have only a
In the digital world we live in, people have generally learned to think of photos and photo albums as things that are mostly digital. There are still a few niches in our lives where most of us still want printed, physical photos to hold in our hands, and to have as an heirloom. A
Robert and Justine. Below is Millie. You might have seen another photo of her last month (https://maundymitchell.com/the-unseen-county-home-portraits-part-v/). I photographed her in mid-February as she was preparing for a date with her new boyfriend. During this visit, I got to learn more about her as we sat by the window in her room. “One time I went

First, ongoing thanks: When you see a portrait, you might never know what is involved in the making of it. I’m not talking about the technical details. Rather, I want to point out that it isn’t only me making these portraits. There is a whole team of people helping me. Thank you to Kree Woolley

“Bad Reviews” Blackmail Extortion Scam is Targeting Photographers Looking at a few sources casually online, I see that there are about 150,000 photographers working in the U.S. We tend to work independently, or as very small companies.

Virginia hadn’t played the piano since she was a child. By the time she became a resident at the Belknap County Nursing Home, she had forgotten much about her own life. Then one day she sat down at this piano and began to play. She plays it almost daily now. True friends are people whom
Lori and Jamey wanted a simple wedding that was just as special as an extravagant one. They decided to elope at The Manor on Golden Pond, a turn-of-the-century, English-style country inn in Holderness, New Hampshire. Situated on a hill overlooking Squam Lake, its setting takes advantage of one of New Hampshire’s most beautiful lakes, as
A Portland, Maine Relaxed Family Photo Session Last week’s photo session was a nice combination of photos of everyday life–unscripted images of a family in their home–and some portraits. Linda and Don live in Portland, Maine. Linda’s 75th birthday was the day before, and Don’s was January 1st. The couple also recently celebrated their
I’m a wimp when it’s cold. As a portrait photographer, I am equipped to work outside in almost any weather. I may be photographing a lifestyle session with horses, a high school senior, or a family outside their home. Even when I’m not working, I love to snowshoe with my family, walk our dogs, and
