Amanda & Noodles

Another girl I work with wanted me to do some updated "senior-type" pictures of her for her family and wanted some of her puppy, a Min-Pin named Noodles. Every time she called her dog's name I laughed, it was just such a perfect name for her.

Here is Amanda and Noodles! Momma loves her puppy!

Playing with a piece of grass. Noodles just really loved jumping for it.

She finally got it and is now looking like, "Yeaasss?"

Here are some of her senior portrait type pictures. I really like the way they came out.

Her best buddy, Joey, was there to help with Noodles while we were taking the pictures. So of course we had to do a couple with him.

Flynn Family

One of the other girls I work with saw one of my photography magazines one day and saw a picture of a little girl with a tu-tu that she wanted me to try to re-create it with her daughter (who I've apparently been photographing from when she was a baby.) So the purpose of the photos was to recreate the picture, but I figured I'd do some family pictures too.

So this is the picture I recreated. She loved being allowed to jump on the couch.

I just love this pose!
Little angel? Hmm...I don't think so.
I think this is one of my most favorite shots ever!

A little personality showing through?
Daddy helping me fly!!

Sisterly love!

I love this family picture!!
Girls just want to have fun!!
Heading over to get some ice cream!

Hmmm...what to get...what to get...
She was a little sad she couldn't get right into her treat!

Really cute picture of them as a family. Love the idea of them walking away.

Mina & Mike Announcements

One of the girls I work with, Mina, and her husband wanted to have some photos done of them so they could make some marriage announcements. They have been together for 10 years, and got married in Vegas in February. They planned on having a big party/reception to celebrate in Maine during the summer. So these photos are engagement/wedding announcements.
They're a very fun couple and let me do whatever I wanted. They said to "have fun." So I did. I took some traditional ones, but I couldn't help but succumb to some photos in some of the old mill buildings. One of the buildings was being renovated, so we did a little trespassing, but it was worth the risk of getting caught!

Minis On Top

For those of you who really know me, you know I'm a little nutty about my MINI Cooper. And most other MINI Cooper owners are just as crazy. So every year for the past couple there has been an even called Minis On Top, where in the end of June about 200-350 Minis converge on a small town in northern New Hampshire for some really fun twisty rides to conclude with a ride up the Mount Washington Auto Road. Last year when we went up it was really foggy, so we couldn't really see anything. This year it was windy enough that as soon as the fog came in, the wind blew it away.

Jamie drove up this year so I could take some pictures. The loaner we had used to go up had a sun roof so I was able to stand in the car hanging out the window and sunroof to get some nice shots.

Everyone lined up at Area 51 (Rest Area in Canterbury, at mile marker 51)

Sign at the bottom of the mountain. It makes me laugh.

Waiting patiently to start our treck up!

Everyone lined up again at the top of the mountain. Just look at that view!!

Just look at that sunset! At the tipy-top of the mountain!

On the way down we stopped to take some more pictures.

Here is the sunset again with another MINI that stopped.

Look at how little they look!!

Lisa & Kenny

Shortly after the girls' birthdays, Haylie's parents got married. In May, Lisa and Kenny got married at Promises to Keep in Derry, NH. Absolutely gorgeous ceremony and a very fun reception (it helped that I knew pretty much everyone!)
This was my first wedding by myself, and I loved the fact that it was these two. They are so much fun and so much in love! I don't think I took my finger off the shutter for more than a couple seconds. I took so many pictures! The day turned out to be a beautiful day. The sun was shining through the whole ceremony and formals, and didn't get cloudy until everyone was inside for the reception.

Here are some of the girls getting ready.

Big Kenny helping little Kenny on with his Tux
Just a couple from the ceremony.
Some of my best formals came from this wedding.


I just love this picture from the Reception.

Haylie Turns 1!

A week after Kaelyn turned One, my other favorite girl turned one as well. So cute how the two cousins are a only a week apart. During Haylie's party though, she was a little sick so in a bit of a bad mood, but you know, it was her party and she could cry if she wanted to.

Here is a picture of her juuust learning to walk at her party.


Opening up a present, I think it was a new dolly. Just look at her face!!



Ooo, new convertible!! This a foreshadow of birthdays to come??


Little one trying to enjoy her cake, but still not feeling so hot.

Kaelyn's Birthday

One of my favorite little girls, Kaelyn turned 1 in April. There were SO many kids and people there. It was like a mad house. Her mom is a crazy lady inviting soo many kids over! But everyone had tons of fun, and tons of sugar!!

Looking at her cake for the first time!

Trying to figure this tasty thing out...

Sharing some cake with Daddy!!

Look at my new toy!!! Nice 4 wheeler! Maybe next year will be a dirt bike like Mom & Dad's!

This car said ages 3 and up. She had it figured out by the next day. Smart little girl!
