It was such a pleasure to share in capturing the joy of Jenn & Joe’s wedding day celebrations.
They are without a doubt two of the nicest people, and it’s not a mystery why! They have a Great group of family and friends. I may be biased on that determination, (they both grew up in the Upper Valley, which holds a special place in my heart, since I grew up here too:), but it was so so nice to photograph another local wedding where I recognized quite a few faces!
Jenn’s day started out in Quechee, VT, at their Gorgeous historic home on Main Street. From there, we headed to St Denis Catholic Church in Hanover, NH, and after a beautiful ceremony, and some time in the sunshine greeting their guests, Jenn & Joe left the church in a 1956 Rolls Bentley (Grace Limo) and headed to their equally beautiful reception at the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm.
Happy Holidays!

Dolphin Organics | Dolphin Baby Photo Shoot & More

It is high time I sneak in a rare post! I’ve been meaning to blog about the amazing time I’ve had so far working for the Dolphin Organics™ team… Creating visual pieces to accompany their brilliant (and benevolent) brand of baby care products has been really special. Not only are these shampoos, bubble baths, and conditioners safe on the most sensitive of skins, but they also come with a wealth of knowledge-nuggets that we as health-conscious consumers will value among the highest of priorities for ourselves and our families. How often is it that we read the labels (or even can, upon attempting) of the products we’re using in our lives… We care about the quality of our air and the safety of our food, so why not be savvy too about the products we’re using on our skin! Dolphin Organics makes this all too easy with their “truth in labeling” mission to educate, but also simplify the process, by providing the clearest of labels and messages. You can check out the bottle in my images below and see for yourself.
This commercial work was a wonderful fit – happy, real, and personality inspired. How about those genuine smiles and gorgeous faces! Cheers to happy and healthy children, and a whole lot of giggles and fun…
April Flowers & May Showers… and a pretty striped sundress

It’s been week full of rain so I hope I can find the time to go take some dramatic shots before the sun comes out again. Monday morning I passed over the Tappan Zee bridge, driving into a navy/grey storm cloud that brightened the beams against its darkness, and made them mysteriously disappear ten feet above the roof of my car. It was as beautiful as it was eerie… the words “Life is Worth Living” stuck out on a sign to my right, and rain drops steadily fell to my windshield as the wipers continued to sweep them away.
Whenever it’s unnaturally dark for a particular time of day, I always get this odd calm feeling, like there is something frozen and different about the moment, leading us to unwed our minds from that hour to hour minute to minute routine. I like new perspectives like this (even when I’m not shooting); Chris knows – I’ll stand on a chair or lie down on the floor… Before you say I’m crazy, let me remind you that this is healthy for your brain! The novelty helps sharpen your mind:) But back to the memory… what really struck me was that rather than the grey, colorless, muddy hue that sometimes comes with this kind of weather, I was surrounded by a brilliant, blue soulful tone, like those you see at twilight, and it was extraordinary. I only wish that next time I won’t be the one holding the wheel!
On to the photos.
In between the few commercial assignments I’ve been working on for a new, amazing company who will launch later this spring/summer, I was able to make a quick trip up to the great city of Boston. Talking business and catching up with my friend, Mimi Phan, was such a treat! We discussed branding, photography, and future growth of Jennifer McKenna Photography – and I’m lucky to have her input and talent. We also had time to sneak in a brief styled shoot, complete with twirls and a very photogenic sundress 🙂 Here she is, charming and chic:
Mimi shoot Part II includes quite possibly my favorite shot of the day, along with a quick trip to the Apple store (which of course seemed photo worthy, despite potentially unoriginal)

Despite having an extremely busy past month, I can’t help but blog a brief post on a photo session from this past weekend! More on this duo and the goals behind this shoot to come, but I don’t think it even takes more than one photo to see the good nature of these individuals. Even with a near stranger clicking away, a yard or less from their faces, Martin and Sandra were happy, free-spirited, easygoing, and gorgeous inside and out.
I can’t tell you how much it means to me to build friendships and connections through my work. Welcomed into not only someone’s afternoon for a shoot, but also their home and heart makes what I do behind the lens that much better, more authentic, and worthwhile. Knowing oneself, and being at ease with your surroundings allows me to catch that moment that will hold the most meaning for you. I try to let this come out in people, but when it manifests itself without any effort, I am inspired. Without further ado, (did I say this was going to be brief, oops!) I present you with the range of seriousness that colored this session…
