Christmas Family Portraits at Churchill's

My first visit to Churchill's in Exeter, NH...quite impressed! If you have a green thumb or just want to be 'wowed' by the beauty of floral design, stop by Churchill's. There are even monthly events, demonstrations and seminars! Check out there events calendar. I will be visiting this store all year round. The employees are friendly, the flowers and arrangements are beautiful and you can't help but smile while you are there. Below are a few images from my family Christmas portrait session as well as a glimpse at what Churchill's has to offer this time of year. For more photos of Churchill's, check out my Flickr page.

Hampton Beach Family Portraits

In the winter, Hampton Beach is an entirely different world. It is missing masses of teenagers in swimsuits, open t-shirt shops, smells of fried dough and pizza, and the beeps and whirls of the arcades. It has the feel of the western ghost towns. On the day I was to photograph a family there, it was blustery and in the high 40s. Thankfully, the snow had not yet arrived. Below is a sneak peek of my portrait session with Chris and her children.

Photographer Friends

I have lived in New England my entire life and have never been to Rockport, MA. What a quaint town! I had the privilege of spending the day with Dave, from Mere Image Photography ,and Joe, from DiMattia Photography. We meandered our way around the town while taking photos, tasting local foods and enjoying one another's company. Joe's favorite spots were Helmut's Strudel and Tuck's Candies. We all enjoyed tasting fudge and watching as it was made at Rockport Fudgery. I'm looking forward to more photography outings with this group!
