Sarah’s Smile {new hampshire creative senior photographers}

From what we’ve gathered, senior pictures and senior portrait sessions are not quite as big of a thing in New Hampshire and Maine as they are in other parts of the US. But NH & ME do have a lot to offer in the way of gorgeous backdrops for senior portrait photography. For lovely Sarah’s senior pics we found some breathtaking mountain scenery along with some incredible waterfalls and came up with some of the more classic imagery for her yearbook photo, but then we took it up a notch and got creative, for which Sarah and her Mom were completely onboard. Besides being a hoot to work with, she made our job easy and worked it like a pro! Congrats, Sarah, on your final year of high school (woot-woot!) and thanks for choosing Birch Blaze Studios!

Vaughn & Co. {nh white mountains family photography}

The art of real. Studio portraiture can be amazing and we hope to do some this winter. But what says more about your life and your family, a posed photograph in a studio or what we refer to as a lifestyle photograph? You and your loved ones interacting, having fun, being who you are…but having it captured artfully. Shivani, Steven & little Vaughn were so much fun to work with. Vaughn is such a happy little guy, and obviously quite photogenic :) What a great way to document a Family vacation to the White Mountains of New hampshire, or anywhere, really. Don’t let these precious moments slip by…kids grow up so fast it makes your head spin! Give us a call today (no matter what time of year) and let’s get the ball rolling to capture the art of your family!

Postcards From Vacationland {maine family photographers}

A vacation in Maine is a prime time for lots of family photographs. And family photographs taken while on vacation often become favorite milestone markers of all the great memories we collect over the years while relaxing with our loved ones in our favorite vacation spots. As you’ll see in this post, vacations are a great time to commission a family “lifestyle” photo session. Beautiful surroundings, everyone relaxed and in a good mood…the perfect recipe for wall-worthy, professional family photos. We had a great time recently capturing a few of Adam, Melissa, and John’s vacation memories in Lovell, Maine, at the Pleasant Point Inn, which is also where Melissa and Adam were married. So don’t forget to capture the “real” memories of your family’s good times and don’t miss out by always being the one behind the camera…let Birch Blaze Studios photograph the whole gang!

Spirit Family Reunion {prescott park :: warmer days}

Well, since I had to shovel 8 inches of spring this morning I thought it might be nice to share some images from one of our favorite summertime activities: live outdoor music! This particular show was a great Americana folk band, Spirit Family Reunion, performing at a great outdoor, summer concert series at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH. This concert series takes place every summer right on Portsmouth Harbor. Hopefully, if you live in chilly climes, this will hearten you to what lies just around the corner…it will get warmer, it will get warmer, it will get warmer…!
