Signs of Summer | New England Food and Lifestyle Photographer

admin — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:02:13 +0000

It’s been a while since my last post and I hope to keep up with this more! I’ve been very busy photographing and working on t.e.l.l. New England, my new project started with and working with fellow photographer Ashley Herrin. We’ve been having a blast putting it together and I would love if you all went and checked it out if you haven’t already!

I’m psyched it’s finally summer in New England and my schedule is booking up with shoots, weddings, and trips. Summer is when I feel most alive and my best memories have always been in the warmer months…there’s nothing better!

Hope everyone enjoys the season!

Heritage Farm Maple Harvest – Sneak Peek | NH Food & Lifestyle Photographer

Hi All,

As mentioned in my last post, I’ve been working on a new project with my friend and fellow artist, Ashley Herrin. Our project is called t.e.l.l. New England and it will be a quarterly publication capturing the essence of living local in New England. I’m very excited about this and can’t wait to show you more once things get fully developed. For now, you can like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram! (@tellnewengland).

Here’s another sneak peek from a shoot involving that project at Heritage Farm in Sanbornton, NH. Family owned for generations, and still going strong..not to mention some of the kindest people I’ve met. If you ever get a chance to go there, talk to Matt or Rachel and you’ll see what I mean. They are incredibly welcoming and love to talk about the history and process of maple production, among other things, on the farm.

As I said before, more to come!

Blood Orange Salad | NH Food and Lifestyle Photographer

Hi All,

It’s March 1st, that much closer to spring! If you’re from New England, you may be like me, and tired of this gray season. Don’t get me wrong, I love how beautiful it looks when it snows, but Summer is my season and I’m ready.

I wanted to put a little color in your Winter day with one of my favorite fruits…blood..or Moro oranges. They are real gems and they taste fantastic. I wanted to shoot something colorful and healthy, so I found this great little recipe online and tried it out for myself.

What will you be doing come spring? I’m getting excited to start gardening again and kicking off wedding season.

Happy Friday!

A Beautiful Mess | NH Food & Lifestyle Photographer

A little over a month ago I was doing a lot of brainstorming, thanks to my bosses at my internship, and came up with the idea to do a little lifestyle shoot with people outside and making food and hot drinks with people laughing and having fun outside. I am currently trying to work on doing more lifestyle shoots with food to involve a more human element and feeling into the photographs. While I still have a lot to work on when it comes to this, I think I did pretty well and we all had a lot of fun doing it despite the cold weather. I’m learning a lot by doing this, and that’s the whole point. My pictures and idea may not have gone the exact way I had planned, but it’s important to work through and realize what could have been done different and what I can work on for next time. Big shout out to my friends and family who helped me put this day together. I definitely took on a bit too much at once but it was fantastic to see how my friends were willing to get together and help me in any way they could. I’m really grateful to have people like that in my life (offering them food and booze probably helps ). The following photos are from the day. I hope you enjoy them and I hope to have more shoots like this planned out soon!

Halladay’s Harvest Barn Inn | NH Photographer

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:12:35 +0000

Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago I was offered an opportunity to photograph Halladay’s Harvest Barn Inn over in Bellows Falls, Vermont. I had received an email from the owner, Kathleen (Also owner of Halladay’s Flowers & Harvest Barn) about doing the photos and once I read about the inn on the website I quickly agreed. It was a nice drive to get there through back country roads on a sunny day, which I loved. My gps took me up a steep little hill and to a row of houses where the inn was located. First you’ll notice the incredible view of the Connecticut River which I bet looks amazing in the Fall, then how cute this little inn is!

Everything is brand new and re done, and they did a great job. Every room has personality and is very quaint. When you walk in, there is a long breakfast table and a couple common rooms with big windows. I think my favorite was the kitchen which was so warm and welcoming. All of the rooms have their own name and different color schemes, but are very elegant. I wouldn’t mind staying in any of them!

Some more good things about the inn: There’s a back yard filled with trees and a small pond you can go down to and enjoy on a nice day, you are served a home made breakfast in the mornings, and there are even cooking classes offered on certain days of the year.

It’s such a great little place and I can’t wait to go back!

If you’re in the area, also check out the Harvest Barn in downtown Bellows Falls. They have some great gifts, wine, art and they are also amazing florists which you can see in some of my photos, not to mention the amazing herb and dip mixes they sell.

Here are my photos from the day!

Hi Everyone!
It’s been way too long since my last post, I apologize. I’ve been pretty busy between my internship, my part time job, finding stylists for my own shoots and planning on re doing my portfolio. Now I’ve quit said part time job, found a bunch of talented people to work with and have continued to work on my portfolio. Everything is going well. My internship is great, and working with the people there has been really nice! I left my part time so I could work on my photography more and get more photo jobs, it needed to happen. My mom also came to visit the last week in March which was so great! (I definitely cried at the airport). I missed her so much and still do. Even though I had to work a lot we had an awesome week hanging out and I cannot wait to see her again!

Now for some photos….

This was from when my mom and I went up to wine country. It was a warm, gorgeous day and the countryside was beautiful. More importantly I have the wonderful memory of sharing that day with my favorite person. I love you mom.

A week before my mom came it had rained for at least 10 days straight here.

A couple self portraits I did one nice night while out on the deck.

On Saturday I did a shoot with Alyssa Terry, who cooked and styled the food. It was a great time and the food was delicious, haha. I am very excited about these images and can’t wait to work with Alyssa again!

Last but not least, a sunset over San Francisco. My best friend’s brother was in town and we hung out for a day going all over the city and we ended up at the top of Coit tower just in time for a great view and beautiful light.
