Fryeburg Family {lifestyle portraits}

Mr. Hibbard teaches at Fryeburg Academy and although he was never my teacher he was a name and face around FA that I saw and heard often.  Not to long ago they contacted me asking if we could do some family photos with their kids.  Well we thought an early Sept evening in the park/community garden on the FA headmaster's house grounds would be perfect.  Well the light was perfect but the bugs were not.  Who could have perdicted misquitos in early Sept?  Well thanks to hurricane Irene we got a whole new batch of them suckers and man were they out in force.  If you look closley there are lots of little white dots around these guys- those were the bugs and we all had lots of little, itchy, red dots after this session.  I think they were worth it though and I hope the Hibbards agree!

Human cabbage-patch.

Mr. Hibbard is also the tennis coach at FA- can you see the future star?

The furriest member of the family.

"show Spring your funny face"

I already ordered a sample canvas of this next one in color for my studio!

Thanks guys for being good sports and fending off the bugs!

XOXO Spring

Baby Lyla James {newborn}

This baby means the world to me.  This is the first Blend baby.  For those of you scratching your head- The Blend was my father's band back in the 70's-80's.  And this baby is the lead singer's, son's baby girl.  When I got a text message that Lyla James had been born tears started to stream down my face because of all the babies that I've know this is the first one that I've felt an instant connection to.  Her father and I grew up together- OK really he was 9 when I was born but still.  Our families were very close and he has always been more like an older brother / cousin rather then a family friend.  So obviously his daughter holds a special place in my heart. When Lyla was just four days old we made our first attempt to take some photos (and some of these were taken that first day) but she was still adjusting to her parents and surroundings so we wound up with more screaming then sleeping.  So three days later we tried again and this time she was an angel.  She was all smiles and sleepy the perfect combination for newborn photos.

 This last one tugs at my heart big time!  Laura's fingers were still a bit too swollen to wear her wedding rings so she has them on a chair around her neck. While resting on the couch with mom Lyla reached up and hooked her little pinky finger around the chain.  This little baby is the sweetest thing and trust me you'll be seeing lots of her on this blog from now on!

Jackson, NH {family photographer}

Jackson, NH is one of the most beautiful towns in Mt. Washington Valley and many of my clients are residents of other states but have family homes in the Jackson area and want their families captured when they are all together visiting their vacation home.  Annaliis and her family are no different.  She lives in VA but Jackson, NH still holds a little piece of her heart.  When her family was all in town visiting over Labor Day we found an hour or two to document their family all together.  Brother's and grandparents, aunts and uncles.

It was wonderful to meet your family Annaliis- I hope to see you all up in Jackson again soon!

XOXO Spring

Ben & Kate {engaged}

Ben & Kate are tying the knot this October at The Eagle Mt. House in Jackson, NH.  They made the trip up to the white mts earlier this month for a quick engagement session.  We had buttery light and loads of smiles.  The best part is this awesome old barn and field are right in North Conway Village less then a 5 min walk from my studio.

My personal favorite!!

Kate & Ben- I'm looking forward to your fall wedding!! See you guys once the leaves turn :)

XOXO Spring
