When it comes to your senior photos, get ready to have the most amazing experience ever! As a NH Senior Photographer, I know a little preparation goes a long way. I’ve got the ultimate list to help you feel totally prepared and ready to rock your photo shoot.
Let’s start off by talking about Pinterest. Oh my goodness, it’s like a treasure trove of inspiration! You’re going to want to pin like crazy to gather all the ideas that make you go, “YES, that’s exactly what I want!” Pin clothing ideas, hairstyles, makeup looks, locations, prop ideas – literally anything that will help you visually communicate your dream senior photo session. It’s going to be epic!
As the big day approaches, it’s time to finalize your looks. Try on everything – clothes, shoes, accessories – to make sure it’s all on point for your photo shoot. And trust me, you’ll feel like an absolute superstar when you know you’ve got the perfect outfit for every shot. Make sure everything is clean, ironed, and ready to go!
Oh, and let’s talk about tanning. If you’re considering a golden glow for your photos, make that appointment at least 3 days before your photo shoot. It’s all about that perfect tan, baby!
The day before your shoot, it’s time to spoil yourself. Get a manicure and pedicure, because you deserve to feel like a million bucks. Your nails will be on full display in some poses, so let’s make sure they look incredible. Go for a neutral color that complements all your outfits and will look amazing in the photos for years to come.
Don’t forget to pack everything you need, and I mean EVERYTHING. Lay out your clothes, accessories, undergarments – the works. You don’t want to have any last-minute panic moments because you realized something is missing. And here’s a pro tip: hang your clothes and put all the coordinating jewelry and accessories in individual baggies. It’s the ultimate organization hack!
PRO TIPS FROM A NH SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER
Now, the big day has arrived! You’ve got this. Drink plenty of water, get some good rest, and make sure you eat a satisfying meal before your session. You don’t want to be hungry and get hangry halfway through – that’s no fun, trust me. Feel free to bring a snack and water bottle to keep you fueled and hydrated throughout the shoot.
When it’s time to get pampered with hair and makeup, arrive in the comfiest clothing ever and with a clean face and dry, untouched hair. This is your time to shine, and the expert artist will work their magic to bring your vision to life. Don’t forget to show them all your amazing Pinterest ideas for hair and makeup – they’ll be blown away by your fabulous taste!
Lastly, relax and trust me. I will make sure your session is beyond amazing. We’re in this together, and we’re going to create the most stunning senior photos you’ve ever seen. Get ready to slay, because it’s your time to shine!

Lake Massabesic Engagement Session
Auburn N.H. | Rebecca + Sean
Growing up in Auburn, my familiarity with Lake Massabesic seemed confined to childhood memories of fishing and ice skating. Imagine my surprise when Sean and Rebecca chose this location for their engagement session. It was then that I realized how this lake offered stunning opportunity, lush greenery, and a sense of tranquility that would be the perfect backdrop for their engagement session.
As the golden hour approached, Sean and Rebecca’s session began. The fading light of the day cast a mesmerizing glow, adding a touch of magic to every frame, and the soft hues of sunset illuminated the calm waters of Lake Massabesic.
Although the captivating scenery enhanced every image, it was undoubtedly Sean and Rebecca’s genuine connection that stole the show. Endlessly supportive, affectionate, and full of joy, their love for one another radiated through the lens.
The engagement photo session with Sean and Rebecca was an amazing experience, allowing us to unveil Auburn’s hidden gem – Lake Massabesic. Lake Massabesic will always hold a special place in my heart, reminding me that beauty can be found in familiar surroundings if we only take the time to truly see it. I am grateful for the opportunity to photograph Sean and Rebecca’s wedding this fall!

As a wedding photographer, I get the honor of capturing the most special moments between couples as they vow to spend the rest of their lives together. And while I always pray for the best weather possible for my couples, the love that embraces the day always manages to light up the surroundings.
Erin and Ryan’s wedding day was one such day. A cold spring day with overcast skies, but thankfully no rain! The warmth of excitement and love more than made up for it. Their love for each other was evident in every glance and touch, and it made my job as their photographer even more special.
The Bedford Village Inn was the perfect location to hold this small and heartwarming wedding. The quaint and charming surroundings made for a romantic and intimate atmosphere to capture those beautiful moments between the couple. From the moment Erin walked down the aisle, every moment seemed surreal – like time was standing still as we witnessed the beginning of a beautiful journey.
As a wedding photographer, every couple I get to capture is unique and special in their own way. Erin and Ryan’s wedding day was the perfect start to my wedding season, and I am so grateful to have had the honor to work with them. They are an inspiration to us all, showing that true love exists!
Congratulations, Erin and Ryan, on a beautiful wedding day and the start of an even more beautiful journey together! May your love continue to shine bright and be a source of happiness for years to come.

On a crisp January day, I met up with Eden and Zach for their engagement session at Wagon Hill in Durham, NH. Despite the absence of snow and the overcast sky, the photographs revealed the raw, dark, and moody beauty of their love. Wagon Hill, stripped of its typical winter blanket and magical sunset, provided a unique canvas for the couple’s intimate moments, capturing the essence of their connection in a different light.
The overcast sky acted as a perfect diffuser, softening the surroundings and highlighting the couple’s genuine connection. Wrapped in warmth, Eden and Zach celebrated togetherness in the cold, creating a captivating prelude to a love story destined to unfold in enchanting ways. Stay tuned for the next chapter in this winter romance, and their wedding day this fall in the beautiful lakes region!
To maximize your engagement experience and ensure that every moment leading up to your wedding is beautifully documented, I am thrilled to include a complimentary engagement session with my wedding packages.
