Newborn Portrait / Baby Photographer Portsmouth NH
Baby George giving me the finger. Look at the look on his face-there is no doubt that he knew what he was doing! :)
He looks so angelic in the following picture, but I know the truth.
All kidding aside-I have fallen in love with this baby! He has SO much personality in such a little body . . .
. . . and I can't get over how CUTE his name is.
I can't wait to see how he changes during the next year. I wonder if I'll get another shot giving me the finger. I guess he doesn't like getting his portrait taken.

Memorial Bridge Family Portraits - portrait photographer, Portsmouth NH
I got the call from Sue, asking if I could photograph her SEVEN grandchildren on the Memorial Bridge during the "Days of Old" event. Of course! She then told me that it may be hard to get one of her grandsons to take off his super hero cape. I advised her to let the kids wear what makes them happy! I am a strong believer that it is my job to capture each childs personality as they are at that moment in time . . .
. . . and boy do these kids have personality!!
I thought it was going to be difficult to have seven kids under the age of 12 in one photograph. It actually was not. They are so loving to each other and so well behaved that it was one of my favorite sessions ever.
there's the cape! Oh my gosh-it doesn't get any better than that!
Thank you, Sue, for bringing me your grandchildren and letting me capture this quickly fleeting stage in their lives.

Memorial Bridge Family Portraits - portrait photographer, Portsmouth NH
More portraits on the Memorial Bridge!
This is Ben Porter. He started the "Save the Bridge" movement years ago fearing that once the Memorial Bridge came down there would be no new bridge to replace it. It is thanks to the efforts to him and others like him that we WILL have a new bridge in 18 months. Thank you Ben.
Nancy & Barbara with their dogs Henny, Booth and Chef. Nancy brings me her dogs every year for my Poocha Palooza event. All the dogs are rescued and Both Nancy and Barbara have done extrodinary work rehabilitating them (with help from My Dogs Mind in Hampton NH). Chef, the dog not facing the camera, is deaf and they communicate with him via sign language. Chef also WAS an aggressive, scared dog. He has come a long way. Henny (far left) is new to their family and was used for breedidng at a puppy mill. She had never been outside her cage and can now walk sucessfully across the Memorial bridge! Nancy and Barbara are extrodinary people making a big difference. They are quite an inspiration!

Memorial Bridge Family Portraits - family portrait photography, Portsmouth NH
The Griffin's were my first session on my last day of portraits on the Memorial Bridge. A half hour before we were to meet I get a call, "one of the kids isn't feeling well, we have to cancel". I convinced them that if they could just stick it out for 15 minutes I could create a beautiful portrait on the bridge and this was their LAST CHANCE. So they pulled themselves together and . . .
. . . it was SO worth it!
Thank you Griffin family!

Family Portraits on the Memorial Bridge-family portrait photographer, Portsmouth NH
Ok, let's face it, kids don't always like to be still to get their portrait taken. These boys were no exception-they were FULL of energy and SO much fun. However, we did need to get a family portrait so I had to get creative! By having one boy sit on the bridge railing and the other stand on the railing I was able to contain their energy for the time needed to get this beautiful family portrait. I told them they had to be still because it was dangerous up there. By doing this I was able to capture their family dynamics. Calvin is a very snuggly little boy, Nolan is the youngest and relished the chance to be top dog and Paloma was able to be herself without her brothers running about all around her. This is one of my favorite family portraits EVER.
Don't get me wrong, however, I LOVE to capture each childs character and energy as you can see in the next group of photo's.
These images are priceless. Capturing your childs personality and character at each stage, is SO important.
Gorgeous.
I loved photographing this family bouncing all over the bridge. We all had a blast and I was able to create some beautiful artwork for them that captures their family and their community. Thank you Peters family!

Olivia's One Year Portrait - Baby Photographer, Portsmouth NH
Another graduate from my baby's first year program!
Little Olivia is SO much fun to photograph! She has so much personality.
CAKE SMASH! She would NOT touch the cake with her hands-once we gave her a utensil though, it was a different story.
What a cutie :)
