As an Upper Valley photographer here in NH, I really enjoy photographing high school seniors. Really, any single-subject portraiture is my favorite. What I really love about senior portraits, is the the folks I am photographing are on the cusp between childhood and the beginning of the rest of their lives. It’s truly a magical time. I did these in Quechee VT near Woodstock

[…] If you’re interested in newborn portraits, I would photograph at your home for a lifestyle session. Lifestyle sessions don’t include formal posing or props and are a more organic reflection of this time right now. I do my newborn work on weekdays. These sessions last about 1-2 hours. I like to photograph babies under 10-14 days old. I would want to schedule your session about one week after your due date (with the understanding that we may need to change it). Their maternity session can be found HERE […]ReplyCancel

As a portrait photographer here in the Upper Valley of VT and NH, I had an absolute ball photographing this young man’s senior portraits.

Here are the results!
As an Upper Valley and Keene NH, photographer, I always love getting requests for maternity portraits. It’s so cool to get these magical images of parents-to-be. I think maternity portraits are my absolute favorites, to be honest. And people don’t typically think “winter” for portraits, but I love the way the light gently reflects from the snow to create a soft light on my subjects. I am a big fan of family photos sessions in the winter – so long as it is not TOO cold! Sometimes it is hard to find a good location, because of the snow and ice making for inaccessible locales. For this session, we went to The Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm. I am grateful to them for giving us permission to shoot at their beautiful snowy property in Quechee, VT. See below for these sunny, snowy, Vermont portraits.

So enjoy these whimsical, dreamy, romantic maternity portraits here in New Hampshire.

As an Upper Valley photographer here in Lebanon, NH, it is always a treat for me to photograph high school seniors. For this one, we wanted to for an urban vibe, we we met up in downtown White River Junction over the river in Vermont. I absolutely love this downtown area – there are so many curiosities there. I hoped to capture this HS senior’s personality and wishes against the backdrop of the cool VT downtown area. I really love senior sessions here in the Upper Valley.
As an Upper Valley and Keene NH, photographer, I always love getting requests for newborn portraits. It’s so cool to get these images of new parents who are really on the brink of a whole new phase of their lives. I am so happy I switched over from newborn studio portrait sessions, to the in-home lifestyle sessions. I really loved the colorful style of this family photo session here in Lebanon NH in the Upper Valley. The twins were pretty relaxed and chill during our session and the weather was so nice, we decided to shoot outside in the natural light. As a family photographer here in the Upper Valley, I’ve not had the opportunity to photograph a lot of twins, but it’s such a joy to do so every now and again.
As a family portrait photographer here in the Upper Valley, I don’t even know where to begin with this session. I absolutely love this family. We trekked over to Alyson’s Orchard over in Walpole, NH (not far from Keene, NH) for our family photo session. These guys have their hands full with three energetic boys! It was great to get out to the orchard for our photo session so the kids could run amok a bit. I love watching this sweet family grow year after year. Enjoy these late summer portraits during our photography session here in beautiful New Hampshire.
As a portrait photographer here in the Upper Valley, I love all kinds of fine art expression, especially with respect to layering in Photoshop creating digital mixed media pieces, as well as watercolor and acrylic painting and drawing as well. Being part of the AVA Gallery art community here in Lebanon, NH is such a blessing and a gift. A couple of my abstract botanical paintings sold at the AVA Gallery, which I am pleased to share. Drawing and painting are passions of mine as well as photography and Photoshop wonderment. See below for the paintings and the exhibits. I hope they are bringing joy to people’s homes or work spaces.

As an Upper Valley child, baby, family and newborn photographer here in New Hampshire, I am so delighted to offer in-home lifestyle newborn portrait sessions. This was a beautiful session in Hanover, NH.

We had a wonderful sweet newborn and family photo session this summer right here in NH.
As an Upper Valley of NH and VT photographer, I am always looking for interesting places to do portrait photography. I love how the seasons change the landscapes so rapidly here in the Upper Valley and in New Hampshire. I noticed that there was a beautiful flowering tree in Hartland, VT that I absolutely needed to photograph with some portraits. I was feeling inspired, also, by some dresses that I had and got this “dollhouse” sensibility to my approach to this session. Enjoy these fine art portraits from that day.

As an Upper Valley family, baby, and child photographer, it was such a joy to do this in-home lifestyle newborn photo session, right here in Lebanon, NH. I loved how big sister really took to the baby and it all seemed so symbolic, with the daffodils emerging and spring beginning, bringing a sense of new life and birth. It really is my favorite time of year! And I really enjoyed this sweet outdoor family photo session with the new baby.
As a newborn baby and family photographer here in Lebanon, NH, I really love traveling to people’s homes to do lifestyle portraiture after they have had their baby. The super posed stuff is cool and all but I don’t think it will stand the test of time for most of my clients. I want to have images that will be relevant a generation later, or 2 or 3. And I also want to evoke all those memories that new parents have in the very beginning. I feel like the imagery is more beautiful and authentic, and evocative. Here are some images from a recent newborn lifestyle session.
As a NH fine art photographer, I created this deeply personal body of work called Terminal, I am reflecting on my mother’s death in 2015 at the age of 63, 30 days after her pancreatic cancer diagnosis. At times, I am still unexpectedly gripped by some of these emotions. These digital multimedia portrait pieces explore my own bereavement. The process is not linear, and the Kubler-Ross model of the Five Stages of Grief does not have a prescribed beginning and end, so the images follow no particular order.

As a Keene NH and Upper Valley photographer, I am super amped to have another Keene Art Walk under my belt. My first was in 2012.
Artist Statement: In these large portraits and digital photographic collages, I combine a love of portraiture, a growing fascination with botany, reverence for the feminine, the cyclical nature of the seasons, the concept of impermanence, surrealism, and dreaminess. Increasingly fascinated by the Wheel of the Year and annual natural rhythms, I incorporate elements from nature into my photographic works. The temporary (and ephemeral) nature of things resonates deeply with me. For example, my costumes are usually assembled the day-of the shoot and models need to be flexible around changing weather conditions and optimal locations in terms of blooms. I enjoy working with fleeting elements in my images. In my digital photo collages, I layer photographs I have taken in nature over my portraits and dive deep in Photoshop working with layers, colors, textures and to create a finished image.

Being a photographer here in the Upper Valley, I always have my eyes peeled for cool locations. Sometimes they are in the unlikeliest places. I happened past the Marriott here in Lebanon, NH and saw these luscious azalea bushes out front. It was only May 1st and things were starting to bloom here in New Hampshire. So I was really excited when I saw these beauties. I asked the front desk if I could photograph there and I got some really magical images. I would love to take photos of you or your loved ones amongst some blooms. I have some costumes in my prop closet and would love to style something dreamy and magical.
