A Baby in a Basket . . .
When Jaime connected with me on Facebook and asked if I would do Alex's first photo shoot, I knew we had to "Rock It". Jaime is my wife's dear friend from childhood and we wanted to give her something that she would cherish forever. I hope you like the pics as much as we do Jaime. Your son is so adorable, we can't wait to watch him grow up. . .

Senior Portraits: Chelsea Jaye
This autumn, I had the pleasure of shooting Chelsea's high school senior portraits. Chelsea had contacted me in the early fall to shoot her portrait but at the time of her call, I was completely booked. When I explained to her that I didn't have any openings until November and by then the foliage would be down leaving very little back drop for her images, her response was, "That's okay, I want you to shoot the photo's." Shortly thereafter, I had a client cancel a shoot unexpectedly, and of course, Chelsea was the first person I called. When she told me that she wanted to have the shoot at her friend's farm because the "light is really nice", I knew that we would hit it off. Her creative and artistic talents impressed me throughout the entire day. She is both beautiful inside and out and I can't say enough about her desire to make great images. Thank you Chelsea, for a great photo shoot, I hope you like the images as much as I do. . .

Ashley and Chris Engagement 2013
Two weeks ago I met with Ashley and Chris at Tangletree Farms in Colchester for their engagement session. After sitting down with them this summer to book their wedding, I knew that I was witnessing love. Right from our first meeting, I could tell that Chris and Ashley simply adore each other. The way they exchange looks, smiles, and even hold hands shows Love's magic. Their relaxed and free spirited attitudes make them the perfect clients to photograph. It was truly a pleasure to work with them and I am looking forward to their wedding next Spring.

Juliann and Dan 2013 . . .
On September 7th I had the honor of documenting Juliann and Dan's Wedding Day. When Juliann came to me and asked me to shoot her wedding day, I knew that it would be a memorable one for me. What makes it so special is that I have had the honor of shooting her other two sisters' weddings as well. It is rare that you get to know a family so well over the course of your career shooting weddings but I have grown to love the Harrison girls as if they were family. Juli and Dan's love for each other was expressed in every moment of the day. From their gazing into each others eyes during their vows, to their first dance, and yes, even when the crowd tried to convince them to smear each other with cake and they gently fed each other with love, your guests enjoyed every minute of seeing you both together. Thank you Juli and Dan for allowing me the honor of documenting your Wedding Day...
