2023 Upcycled Fashion Show GALA-GWAC Wolfeboro

May 3, 2023

by Birchblaze with No Comment Conceptual Portraiture

I recently teamed up with the Governor Wentworth Arts Council and the GALA Makers Mill for their 2n annual “Upcycled Fashion” Show! I setup my mobile portrait “booth” at the Kingswood Regional Arts Center in Wolfeboro, NH and created portraits of the many designers and models present… what a blast! There were so many creative and industrious designs, with materials ranging from used Amazon packaging, to old CD’s, and curtains & tablecloths!! The resulting upcycled garments and accessories were quite impressive! I’m looking forward to working with GWAC & GALA again, and look forward to next year’s Upcycled Fashion Show! Hope you enjoy the portraits we created the night of the event.

Up first, we have GALA Makers Mill Executive Director & founder, Josh Arnold, looking dapper and ready for his Master of Ceremony duties in his own upcycled duds….

New Hampshire Winter Family Photography

While snuggling up in your comfy clothes in front of a toasty woodstove, cup of hot cocoa in hand, has it’s place, a New England winter is best experienced outdoors, in the thick of it! Birch Blaze Studios is here for it. Whether your family loves to be racing down a New Hampshire ski trail, ice skating on a frozen pond, or snowshoeing through a pristine, snow-glazed woodland, why not celebrate these epic memories with a NH winter family photography session? We had so much fun tagging along with this adorable family, exploring a pine grove after Saturday’s snow storm. The girls were all in and super cute (tiny comedians, actually), and they more than earned their hot chocolate served from a trusty old fashioned thermos! There are so many ideas to be explored and memories to be captured in the winter! Click here to book your very own New England winter family photography session with Birch Blaze!

Brent, Marcy, and the boys flew in from Southern California to spend some quality time at the Family retreat in Wolfeboro, on Lake Winnipesaukee. We were thrilled they trusted Birch Blaze Studios to capture moments that we’re pretty sure they will enjoy for many years to come. Once the boys were comfortable that we weren’t too weird, we got rolling and, despite some raindrops, had a lovely time! Here are a few of our favorites from the day…

All That Jazz {vanity fair style men’s portrait photography}

by Birchblaze with No Comment Conceptual Portraiture Music Photography

John is pretty much the coolest jazz cat you you’re gonna meet. He’s the upright bassist for swing jazz band, Clyde Bisbee & The Wheelhouse Revelers. We had him in-studio a while back for his band portrait session. When you have a fellow artist that channels George Clooney like this dude, you might snap a few extra frames.

Hey y’all! Welcome to our new spot for blogging our Birch Blaze Studios’ portrait sessions! We felt it would be best to keep things related to our portraiture, as well as some personal interest posts now and then, all on the same website. This is a family portrait session we did in Los Angeles a few months back. We photographed Michael & Ashley’s wedding in NH a few years back and were thrilled to meet up with them in California for a family portrait session in Santa Monica. We began the session on Santa Monica State Beach and finished up on the famous Santa Monica Pier. We LOVE playing Southern California family photographers, even if it’s only when we visit from time to time! So, without further ado, here are some favorites from our family beach photo shoot….
