Last week I held the first Headshot Day at The Enterprise Center in Plymouth, NH. The day was booked before I could advertise, all by actors and business people. It was a great day. I love doing headshots because with coaching and precision, I get exactly the right expression to help people achieve their goal.
Just after Christmas, Dot and Tom celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. As an anniversary gift, their children gave them a family photo session at their home.

The Brass Herald is a publication for all brass musicians based in Cambridge (that’s the ORIGINAL Cambridge, in England, not that upstart town in Massachusetts).

This is the beginning of a long-term personal project with Belknap County Nursing Home. Over the course of the next year, I’ll visit the residents many times to create multiple portraits for many of them.

Kirk brought Gretchen from Michigan to Castle in the Clouds in New Hampshire. He had a secret agenda. I was hired in advance. I had to be ready, but I was also under cover. So I pretended I was photographing gardens and statues while I hovered nearby them. Until he proposed. His plan began long
