The Richardson Family

This little guy LOVES trains -I mean LOVES them. Mum had suggested that we try some tracks as her boy loves the whole notion of trains. It was a pleasant surprise to find some rail cars down there. We had all kinds of fun pretending to fix the train. He was just as full as energy like most 7 year olds so we were all over the place playing and creating stories. The best way to capture kids, I find, is to be in spots that make them happy. Yes, we got dirty and yes there were some nasties down there (don't get me started on the pretty narrow vocabulary of some passer-bys who obviously had no respect for themselves or the fact that there was a 7 year old in our presence) but all in all we had a great time. Lovely memories for a lovely family.

Baby Osgood

This little guy just blew me right away. Rarely, and I mean RARELY does a baby sleep through the entire session. He maybe squawked twice for about 2 seconds. Not only did he sleep like a champ, the baby has flawless skin. Usually babies have a few bumps, lumps and bruises but not this little guy. Perfection that's for sure. I have been itching to get outdoors with a baby all summer and this little guy was a great sport. Unfortunately it's turned a little chilly here in NH so we had to keep him swaddled up but we were indeed able to go out.

Matt - Senior Class of 2012

This young man plays on the defensive line for Steven's Football team. They have high hopes for their season this year and I hope they achieve them. First game is Sept 2nd - just around the corner. It's hard to believe school is starting next week. Good Luck for the season Matt. We hope to get out and see a game this year. Thanks for being such a good sport today. We dodged a pretty severe storm to get this session in. Good thing we both had pretty flexible schedules.

The Vaine Family

Left the house the day of their shoot under a big fog - got to Lake Sunapee Harbor and we had blazing sunlight which often makes for very harsh portrait lighting. So I owe a huge thanks to the big paddle cruiser to the right of the dock as it gave us some shade to shoot in. That was a big lifesaver! I must say that Mum totally rocked the outfits for this shoot. I can't imagine dad was too fired up about the lavender (we'll call it blue/grey for now) but he was a great sport and boy was it a good choice. The colors look amazing amidst the blue/greens of the lake. Well done Regan. Super cute family - and such wonderful kiddos. It's so fun to be surrounded by so much energy.
