[a twist of lime] annie v.

it's moments like these that remind me how lucky i am to have this little girl. something as simple as going for a walk can turn into a treasured memory. she's so good about indulging my need to snap. snap snap snap. and of course, when she's done.....she's done. the last shot explains that one!!

[senior session] adam

this was my second time shooting in beautiful rockport. i love the ocean. i love quaint seaside towns. i had the pleasure of shooting adam. a delightful high school senior who was up for "posing" anywhere for me. even when the shot wouldn't work he always had a smile. thank you adam for indulging me and being such a great model. i hope you like your sneak peek!! thanks for being so patient.

a lime slice. [my girl]

i had the pleasure to go shooting with my pal mariah gale. an incredible children's photographer. so....while she was shooting annie, i was shooting annie. i'll try to update this post with her shots so you can see the beauty that she captures through her lens. here's a shot of me in action as featured in newburyport today. in the meantime.....here is my beauty.

[and as i'm trying to decide on the "look" of my blog - i have avoided the rounded corners that i have been using lately. honestly....it adds one more long step to the workflow so for this post. i ignore!] feedback always welcome.

annie - a study in black and white.


look at her smile. love it.


that's right annie. work it. own it.


this is my favorite shot of my girl. heavy sigh.




the following shots are processed with "shenanigans" actions by the fab tara leigh!




she finally looked at me. she was zoomed into mariah the whole time!


love that "still baby looking" hand. the bokeh. the light. the sweet light.

[angela] senior session

there's a reason i am behind the lens. i'm just not comfortable in front of it. but not angela! it was such a pleasure to shoot this young lady - so casual in front of my lens. she knew exactly what she wanted. here's a sneak peek of our session! you have such a great smile.

[surf's up]!

this was seriously one of the most fun shoots i have done in awhile. what an adorable family. "hey meg, we have a surfing lesson - want to come photograph i t for us?!" um....YES!!!! if i looked as good as jennifer in a wet suit perhaps i would have put one on and joined them but alas......it's behind the lens for me. you never would have known this was their first lesson - every single one of them got up on the board and rode the waves. i was so impressed. the day was beautiful. thanks for asking me to do this chris, jennifer, benjamin, jackson and sam. you are all awesome!! hope you like your sneak peek. hang ten family!
