branding.

SUPER ADORABLE indiana photographer gail werner sent me an email a few months back…with a link to this necklace on etsy.

i don’t wear jewelry often enough that i’m willing to buy it for MYSELF…but if anyone wanted to win some MAJOR points with me…i’m just saying, this would be a surefire place to start.

also, gail is full of win because she is using an adorable font for her logo.  i ALMOST feel like i’ve seen it somewhere before.  😀

Ahhh – you know, I hadn’t even noticed ’til you mentioned it that we both were using a little Cocktail Script! TOO FUNNY

ryan + aubrey + kids|nh family portrait photographer

confession:  it takes me roughly 400 years to properly blog a wedding…which is probably why i post so infrequently.  i don’t want to do it halfway…so i just…don’t do it.

but.

there are people out there…people who deserve blog posts from me.  so, hopefully this adorable family i photographed when i was in arizona last september will tide you over.

i started off focusing on little jacob.  he was just about 1 month old at the time.
(NB:  if you want to schedule a baby shoot…1 month old is basically the worst time possible!  at that age every child goes through that horrible precursor of adolescence…BABY ACNE!  the very best time to photograph your baby is in the first two weeks…so if you know you want to do a session, it would be best to contact me before the baby’s even born.)

look at those tasty baby fingers!


and delicious baby toes!


and for dessert…delectable baby leg rolls.

then the whole fam joined in the fun…big brother joel was alternately delightful and…two.  family sessions are NEVER boring!


i love this one because it’s got everyone in it…in a way that totally shows off the new family dynamic.


(moral of the story…to stop almost-2-yr-old crying children…throw them in the air. high.)

and now for my 2 favourite images from the session…

i didn’t pose her…we were walking back to their house, and i saw her there in that perfect light, looking down at her little bubba…and yelled, FREEZE! and it’s perfect.

I love love love the family shot from behind and the last 2 shots! What an adorable family!

I love these shots. You already know that though. Their such a photogenic couple. You really captured their personalities so well. I love the shots of Aub at the end, but also the one of her laughing, and the one of Ryan pouting at Joel. So. CLASSIC.

It was great too look at these again, I can’t believe how much bigger the boys are in such a short period of time.

(i don’t REALLY think i am a crazy cat lady. you have to have a way more lopsided ratio than 1:1 before you’re a crazy cat lady. also, you might have to groom your cats as in…when in rome…according to recent office episodes.)

anyway.

i got najib from the breeder’s a couple weeks ago…he’s settling in quite fine (except for running under my feet and getting stepped on every now and again.)

i also just got a new lens in the mail, so…here you go:

stephanie & ryan–engaged|dover, nh wedding photographer

stephanie and ryan are getting married in maine in august, but they made the trip down to hang out with me in nh yesterday…we walked around dover and had a great time walking around the cute downtown area.  and they get bonus points…they didn’t even blink when i asked them to scale the little mini-cliff or sit on the side of the brick wall (that is there to protect ppl from falling over the side into the waterfall.)


how hot are they?! SERIOUSLY.


GORGEOUS.

i can’t wait for their wedding in august…i don’t want to let the cat out of the bag JUST YET…but i’m bringing in some AMAZING talent to shoot with me. (woo for ringers!)
