This photo shoot was one of my favorites so far. It was the kind that I like best. The best kind of photo shoot has nothing to do with setting up poses. It is not about getting people to smile, and not about putting the short people in front, and the tall people in back.
Some children have dogs as pets. These girls have sweet goats and rabbits. We did their photo session on a warm November day at their farm in the woods of New Hampshire, where we explored the fields and forest trails.
Maryann, Melinda & Sam chose the beautiful Abenaki Farm in Campton, NH for their photo session. We started near the pond, and then hiked to the top of a mountain. Surprise–there was a teepee at the top! And then the horses came running from the woods. They were friendly, and the views of the White
Rose and Carol have been together for 18 years. Finally, they are free to marry in their home state of Rhode Island. They recently celebrated their engagement and the start of their plans for a big, beautiful wedding. Love wins! {This session was featured on Equally Wed Magazine’s blog}
Dianna & Paul were married on a lovely September afternoon at Dianna’s parents’ home on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire. The couple had vacationed here for several years and they knew it would be the perfect place for an intimate outdoor wedding. Congratulations, Dianna & Paul!
Plymouth celebrated its 250th anniversary last month. More than 3000 people came to Plymouth for the celebration and events. I enjoyed working to capture the spirit of the celebrations. I was asked to create a slide show from my photo galleries. You would think that a five minute slide show would be long enough
Jacquelyn and Edward met and fell in love in Minnesota, where they lived in the same apartment building. They discovered they had the same last name when they kept getting each other’s mail. Pease Public Library was the perfect place for their engagement photo shoot because Jacquelyn is
Esther and James’s wedding was held at Esther’s parents’ log cabin in New Hampshire. The couple incorporated Native American traditions, drawing from James’s heritage. A Micmac Chief officiated the wedding. There was a smudging ceremony, where herbs were burned to drive out bad feelings and to keep bad spirits away. The chief wrapped the couple
The Uncle Steve Band is a New Hampshire local band whose audience fans include old hippies, college kids, families with young children, and everyone else. The band hired me to do group and individual photos. We were going for a vintage record album look that was down-to-earth and eclectic with a country feel. Down by
We live at the edge of the White Mountain National Forest, in New Hampshire. Our gardens include many plants and wildflowers that are native to New England. The Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS macro lens is my favorite for creating dreamy, artistic images. Here I have used it to photograph a Trout Lily,
I recently produced a headshot for my husband. He’s a terrible subject, and he is cynical of the concept of a “headshot.” Though he is not an actor, he works in the theatre, and he looks at actors’ headshots on a regular basis. In his words, headshots frequently appear “plastic,” “forced,” and “artificial.” Like many

Lois Greenfield is one of the best dance and commercial photographers; I have always been in awe of any photographer who can capture a dancer, an athlete, or a child in beautiful light while in motion. Last fall I contacted her to see if she would teach me at her studio in New York City.
This is my friend, Kree. I wanted to do her portrait, so we picked a day and my brain went to work. She’s a natural “foodie”. Her husband is a chef and he was about to have a birthday. Kree is fun, creative and wacky (in a good way). I knew she’d go along with
I love Jackson Pollock. His paintings influenced my art when I was a teenager, and they continue to intrigue me. Tonight, while it was snowing, I set up my camera for some long exposures (70-75 seconds). I used a green laser to “paint” the trees a’ la Jackson Pollock. (My dogs were freaking out in
Today, I painted the walls of the new studio and applied the door sticker. I love the way the 1940s architecture suits my logo. One more coat of paint should do, and then it’ll be time to move in the equipment, including a few new things–softboxes and floor cloths. The studio will be where I meet clients, as
