Unless you have/love an active boy in your world, you may not have experienced life in some of it’s fantastic extremes. Living with little boys is living life on the edge. Edge of giddy sanity. With all their running, poking, swinging, laughing, balancing, playing, throwing, testing, silly-ing(may not be a word, but it is an action in our house), jumping, bonking, flushing (short story, but not worth sharing) and more laughing.
It may not be the kind of energy you can bring to a coffee shop or a restaurant (Heck, I am not even sure a McDonnalds is ready for my 2 year old Griffin). But I love having them for a photo session. Smiles come easy where ever mischief can be found.
A two year old’s energy and zestiness is something awesome to behold.
Not that you can hold them for long.
Thanks for a great session guys!

I wanna hold your hand | NH Family Portrait.
If you have had a toddler, you have likely played this game before.
I want to hold your hands. No. Mommy’s hand, no. Daddy’s hand, NO. Wait, both hands. No. Wait.
This young lady is so super lovely and loved.
Both sets of her grandparents were able to be there for the portraits. They braved the chill of the NH air.
Young A took a little while to thaw herself. She is a girl after my own heart. I have a special love for little shy ones. My daughter at this age stopped looking at the camera all together. Devastating for a photographer mama. But she would not have looked at all at a stranger holding a black camera.
Little A has a similar spirit that experiences the world through the eyes of an observer. She wants to take it all in and make her assements before jumping in. Love it. It can make my job a bit more of a challenge, but a chalenge well worth it.
Wedding awesomeness. | Gloucester Seaside Wedding photography
There are so many things to love about this wedding. I should start with the couple. They have been together for a while, so there is something about the easy way they relate to eachother that is so lovely. I will offer my personal vote for partnerships made legal after years of exploring the things life and world have to offer together. My husband and I were together for 8 years before we decided to make our partnership official and celebrate it with family and friends.
But there was a certain confidence and joy you could see and feel from C and J.
Now I should move on to the location. Gloucester, MA overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Cant ask for more. Right?
how bout asking for a surf board?
So many of the details were crafted with loving hands. The cupcake “cake” was made by a bridesmaid. The place markers were stones collected by the brides mother marked with the table numbers. The comedy was brought by the best man. People were laughing so hard chairs broke under the peals of laughter. Funniest best man speech I have ever heard.
Okay, may be I could ask for a motorcycle to ride past to add contrast to the wedding scene. I waited and waited with adjusted shutter speed for this shot….You could hear them coming.
