Elizabeth + Jeremy + kids

A wonderful family and a great, relaxed session:

Littles and Bigs

On an early December morning, I photographed a fundraising event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Manchester. Part of my task was to create portraits of the Littles (in their lingo) with his or her respective Big. Given the hundreds of supporters waiting in the next room, our time was limited, but I hope the portraits reflect the ease and comfort of these special relationships.

These little ones were part of a larger family session but are certainly worthy of their own post. Most of the time they wandered about in an open field and woods, enjoying themselves and barely noticing me.

In keeping with the recent spate of family portraiture:

Addison & family

Addison turned one, and her parents celebrated with a portrait session. Towards the end, she needed a distraction, and I had already finished with my Bronica.

Emma

When I had some time available in the studio, I called Carey to ask if she'd be interested in bringing her daughter, Emma. They brought some clothes, and we had a very relaxed and fun session, with Emma becoming more comfortable as it progressed. We ended with a few of mom and daughter, and then mom solo.

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.
