Maryan & Derek Pregnancy



A lovely couple and very genuine people. Maryan and Derek put their hearts into their home and family. It was a very fitting location to photograph these two on their home turf. Especially with all the work put into the place. A beautiful space to bring another life into. In the living room I caught Derek being more comfortable in the moments when he didn't think he had to pose, just being close with his gal. The three photos together speak of their relationship.

Walk in the Woods Engagement

A truly beautiful spot at the right time of day!




Yes, a very hollywood of old pose, dashing couple in front of turbulent falls. How cinematically romantic. Maria & Eduardo are much more down-to-earth than this images suggests, but it was fun to create.


I had a great afternoon hiking with Maria & Eduardo right nearby both of our homes. They love the outdoors and so do I. Originally, we were going to drive further North to capture some engagement shots on a nature preserve in Wells, Maine. But the light was just right when we got together so a more local walk was the perfect choice. It was great to share one of my favorite close hikes in the little town of Gonic, NH. A waterfall in our backyard. A dramatic setting for a very laid back couple. Really it was just a gentle walk in the woods. Here's to sharing a lovely afternoon with such fun people.

Happy 2nd Birthday Pearl!!

Pages from the flip book! Jack loved his personal mark in my studio, Tessie not so much.

Pearl and Angelo

Melissa came to Johanna and me when she was pregnant with a great idea, a Pregnancy Flip Book! We spent six months shooting every two weeks in my studio, that is Melissa, Jack and Tessie. Most days we were a happy bunch, some days not so much, but we documented on. Melissa commissioned the project as a father's day gift for her husband Angelo, can barely believe we kept it a secret for four months-Jack eventually spilled the beans, ha Jack's beans. Once the lovely Pearl came into our lives Angelo came into the studio to finish the book as a family. The images not only document Melissa's pregnancy, but her family's personality. I loved spending time with them all and personally cherish what we created. If you are interested in seeing more of the images just email me.
