Jamie + Jim

...are to be married on Saturday. We met about a month ago to review some details, and I convinced them to go outside (in freezing temps and wind) for just a few minutes to make some portraits in the late day sun. I'm glad they agreed--the temperatures will be even colder on their wedding day.

the Rocheleau family

I met the Rocheleaus when they moved to Londonderry while we were in high school. Our siblings are all friends, too, and Mrs. R has worked at Saint Anselm since I was a student (and now we're colleagues). Jess contacted me about doing a session for them while all were home during Christmas. We made a variety of portraits, but they also wanted some candids, too. I'm posting just a few here.

Liam & fam

Liam's parents, Jill and Dan, are old friends. Jill and I graduated from high school in the same year, and we occasionally traveled together to visit our future spouses, both of whom attended UNH. All of us recently reconnected, and I was very happy to make some family photos for them. Liam was fairly cooperative, although he was fed up with being bothered by the end--par for the course with a newborn.

George Taber at Bella Vino

Bella Vino is great wine shop in the area. I know the owner through various family and friends, so she invited me to take some photographs of an event that featured both a wine tasting and a lecture by George Taber. A journalist by trade, he was the only reporter present at the 1970 tasting in France that established Napa Valley in the world of wine. He gave a great presentation, signed copies of his Judgment of Paris, and chatted. And the wine was pretty good.
