Southern New Hampshire Photographer- Amherst NH

Before moving up to New Hampshire I was able to photograph my Aunt, Uncle and their family. I gifted them a session since I had the opportunity now that I live closer. My Uncle was recently diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's and I wanted to capture moments of him with his family.

My Aunt Alicia & Uncle Richard have not always had it easy. In 1994 they lost their son to meningitis. He had just had his 5th birthday. The emotions of my cousins death are still so raw, I can’t type this without tears. He was the sweetest little boy! I still remember christmas of 1993, his last christmas. One of my cousins hurt my feels and I was sitting in the living room crying. Mark came up to me and said “Don’t cry Wawa, I’ll never hurt your feelings” and gave me a big hug. He had such a kind soul. Marks passing was hard for everyone, most of all my Aunt, Uncle & my cousin Jessica

Seeing Aunt Alicia and Uncle Richard have grandchildren to enjoy has been heartwarming. I had felt that My Uncle Richard had a grandson to do some of the things he wished he could’ve done with his son. It just doesn’t look like that’ll happen now, not with the diagnosis that my Uncle has.

Maternity Session - Southern New Hampshire Photographer

Hillary makes pregnancy look so easy and glamorous, even while having contractions! She glows and just looks so amazing! Her little boy came the very next day!

There are just too many excuses to skip a maternity session, with a list of other things to purchase. These 9 months go by so quickly, it's such an important time to document! 

Maternity Session - Nashua - Manchester - Concord New Hampshire Photographer

Pregnancy is such a beautiful time in a women life. It's not always easy, swollen feet, a hurting back among so many uncomfortable things. It goes by so quickly and should be documented with beautiful photographs. I regret not having professional photographs off all of my pregnancies. That wasn't really a thing 20 years ago when I had my first.

My first baby is now having her own little girl and I was so glad that I could capture this time! Thank you Jessica Salort from Glamorous by Jessica for hair and make up. https://www.glamorousbyjessicasalort.com

Remembering A Veteran - Nashua - Manchester New Hampshire Photographer

I was contacted by a couple that had an unusual photography request. David and Laura needed me to take a picture of a shadow box.

David's father gave his life for his country during WWII. David was only 5 and he told me that he still remembered when his mother got the news. It was hard not to tear up as David spoke about the loss of his father. 

David had beautiful, large shadow box that contained his fathers folded flag, medals and a newspaper article. David & Laura needed a picture of this shadow box so a print could be displayed at a WWII memorial. 

This was completely out of my comfort zone, I take pictures of people! Then there was the glass that covered the shadow box that could not be removed. I told Laura and David that I was more than willing to accept this challenge but made them aware that this was not something I had done before and there was one major obstacle to overcome, glare. 

I googled and I researched how best to do the job. I always want to give my client the best. I really wanted to get a beautiful image for Laura & David. This family has sacrificed so much for their country and this was so important to them.
