Tim & Lisa

2009-02-03T20:47:00.009-05:00

Last weekend we were able to have a great engagement shoot with Tim and Lisa. They were such a blast to be with and were up for anything. The weather was great, a balmy 29 degrees, which felt like a bit of summer compared to the -26 we had a week ago :) We started the shoot at the Base Lounge of Mount Snow Resort(location for their october 17th wedding), then explored Wilmington's historic downtown. Oh, we also fell victim to a little Southern Vermont road rage as we attempted to take some shots on a fairly busy covered bridge. All in a days work. Thank you so much guys, you were great!

Mt. Katahdin

2008-08-23T20:00:00.008-04:00

Good Morning ! So we just got back from the hike,it was awesome. We arrived at the gate at 4:15AM and we were the last car they would allow in that section of the park (45 car maximum), so we were pretty psyched. The knife Edge was amazing a little sketchy in some parts, but so Beautiful.Knife EdgeA few hikers that were just behind us on Knife Edge .

The view from the top.This is Chimney Pond it is a vernal pool right at the base of the mountain. And this is

Mr. Moose, who was extremely friendly, as you can tell.

All I can tell you is, if you ever get the chance, hike it!

3 AM just alittle early !!

2008-08-22T21:44:00.006-04:00

So I am getting up tomorrow morning at 3:00am to hike Mt. Katahdin and I can't wait!! It is probably one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever been on. I hiked about 2 years ago and all I can say is "WOW". This time though I'm going on a more challenging trail, it is called Knife Edge and from what I've heard the name is extremely accurate. In some places it is about 4 feet wide and 1500 foot drops on either side so this may be my last post :) Anyway, these are a few photos from tonight at Abol Pond looking up at Katahdin, enjoy. I can't believe, that some of the trees they are already changing color !!

This guy was fly fishing and it was really peaceful watching him catch a few fish.

Jason & Leslie

2008-08-19T14:31:00.011-04:00

We had a really great time with Leslie and Jason, but we've had so much rain here , we were worried what the day would turn out like . There were a few sprinkles in the morning but by the afternoon it was perfect. The wedding was great ! Their family was fun to be with and the Alerin Barn made for a beautiful reception.

Don't worry! We haven't disappear off the face of earth, even though it might seem so. Our days seem to be getting a little more busy than usual. For today's post we decided to put a few pictures of baby O. And yesterday we had the opportunity of shooting a beautiful wedding. You'll get to see it in just a few days.

Here are a few of the pictures from Saturdays wedding in Ryegate , VT.
The day was perfect. The ceremony and reception went wonderfully.
So here is a funny story, while we were at the salon the bride had to step outside and she thought she could hear someone saying ,"Hello ... anyone...help !" So she looked around and sure enough an elderly lady(80+) had fallen down the steep bank behind salon and was caught in an old fence. Well , Luke and I were inside not knowing what was going on until someone came in saying " Some one needs to call 911!" so we go outside and all you could see was the lady's head. Luke and I ran up the bank of loose dirt and debris to pull the lady out. Thankfully she was alright and didn't need any medical attention. So from now on we are Chicoine Photography, Design and Rescue Service :-)

Rob and I did this shoot today and it is one of those occasions when you just don't know which pictures to post, because they are all great. Adam and Jessica are getting married the 24th of this month and these are their pre-wedding photos. Each of our wedding packages include this, it is an one hour shoot where we go over the final details of the wedding and get ideas of what they will like. The shoot takes place at their ceremony location about two weeks prior to the wedding. Luke

2008-05-03T13:10:00.007-04:00

This was an awesome photo shoot yesterday with Kaylin. We went to a few different places, all of which were perfect settings. It was also overcast which provides for beautiful lighting. In case anyone is wondering we are "natural light" photographers, which means we use little to no artificial light. With this photo shoot I never used any flash. So when you are scheduling a shoot don't worry if it's cloudy that day, it makes for really great lighting. Luke

New Website is up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-04-29T16:06:00.006-04:00

2008-04-23T13:43:00.007-04:00

We noticed that we haven't really posted many pictures of owen lately, so here they are.

Owen driving Uncle Rob's car. He could spend all day there and be perfectly happy. What? Haven't you seen an 18 month old drive?
Having fun at Gram & Gramp Chicoine's house.

Hmm. I wonder what is going through that little head.

Uncle Gordon, don't let the grass touch me!!

The Band

2008-04-23T09:47:00.006-04:00

So last week I was in Bangor , Maine photographing a new

Christian band , so new that they're still undecided on a name

and are producing their first album as I am typing this. And the stuff

I was able hear was awesome , I'll keep you undated on their progress.

As for the shoot it was great the cities downtown was perfect and the guys

were awesome to work with . They were opened to any ideas I had and they had

some great ones of their own.

2008-04-18T17:16:00.004-04:00

I was thinking (as Monica, Owen and myself were taking a walk) that I would start posting a little bit about our town, Woodsville, NH.

Our town has one of the oldest covered bridges still standing in the US.

It was built in 1829 at a cost of $2,400, with inflation that is over $92,000. When the bridge was bypassed in 1999 it was just allowed to go to ruin, but now it is getting a face lift. So I'm going to keep you

posted during the restoration process. I think it will make a great place for future photo shoots! Luke.

As you can see it is in pretty rough shape.
Owen Taking a look around. He loves going to the river.

Michael Buble

2008-04-09T11:20:00.011-04:00

Last night was absolutely awesome. My hubby gave me my mother's day gift a month early. He took me to see one of my favorite singers, Michael Buble!!!! Ok girls, he is definitely a must see. His voice is absolutely beautiful and he is a total charmer!! It was really hard to take pictures because of how dark it was, and all we had was our little point and shoot camera. I got a little video for all the fans out there who really enjoy his music. He is also traveling with a group that really impressed us, but more about them tomorrow.

Baby O enjoying daddy's popsicle

2008-04-08T13:40:00.012-04:00

This afternoon while Luke & I were working on pictures for our new website (we can't wait!!), little Owen got a hold of daddy's fudgesicle and refused to give it back. He enjoyed every bit of it and then tried to give daddy the stick back.

Andres & Estefania's Wedding

2008-04-07T00:01:00.004-04:00

Andres & Estefania got married a couple of weeks ago. We met them during our trip in Mexico, had the opportunity to do their engagement pictures, become good friends and also shoot their wedding. They have been a great blessing to both of us. We miss them greatly now that we are back in NH, but hope to see them soon. Thank you guys, we had a blast!!!

2008-03-06T14:48:00.004-05:00

These pictures are from a small mining town we visited, Cusi.

Sledding

2008-02-29T11:18:00.006-05:00

We had a great time sledding on
Sunday , it was wicked fast. It had been
so long since last time I went sledding ,I had forgotten
how much fun it was. If you haven't done it lately you really
should.

2008-02-23T11:35:00.009-05:00

I took these photos while we were in Dallas. They were a great family to shoot, and the kids had so much fun at the park. I enjoy taking kids to a places where they are in their element it allows for so many natural shots.

During the time we were in Dallas shooting a wedding, my cousin Miguel and family asked us to do a family photoshoot. Unfortunally it was too dark to run around, but even in the dark we still managed to have lots of fun.

he will be back in March . And by then he will

be a Pro .

Talk about easy to photograph !!

I had a great time doing this shoot in CT ,and

the weekend turned out awesome for pictures.

2008-01-20T03:08:00.000-05:00

This couple Monica and I met down here in Mexico, at the church we attend. They will be getting married in March so they wanted some engagement photos done. We had a great time getting to know them, as you can see we had a lot of fun. We're looking forward to a great friendship with them.

I don't think there has been a cloud in the sky since we've been here.

2008-01-08T15:38:00.000-05:00

This post is for the couple of days Luke, Owen and Me went to Copper Canyon. It was a little chillie, but beautiful. It was awesome to see the Indians from the area called Tarahumaras and all of the neat stuff they make. Owen loved playing with their handmade trucks. We definitely would love to go back again!!!!!

2008-01-08T15:14:00.000-05:00

This is near Bustillos Lake just outside of the city. It was aperfect day to be outside. The only problem with perect weather is the direct sunlight, so it took a little time getting the right exposure for the different shots.

During our stay in Mexico with my family (Monica), Luke has been able to do a couple photo shoots of my cousin's little girl. She is 3 and had a blast modeling for Luke.

So this was my first time photographing identical

twins and it was wicked fun. I did a pretty good

job telling them apart and it had absolutely nothing

to do with that fact that they were wearing different

colors. Well , maybe it did.

Page Family

2007-12-31T11:08:00.000-05:00

The Pages had contacted me in November
about photos ,because their son and his family
were coming home from Seattle, WA for Christmas.
Well, when the mother came in the day before to go
over the details she didn't realize we did all on location
and not in studio photography . She seemed a little
skeptical about it ,but when we were done they had
such a great time , they were glad they didn't have
to sit in studio for a hour.

Little Jackson had the biggest blue eyes .

So for this picture they started running at me and I lost my
balance and fell backwards. Well, I was wearing pair of pants
that I should of retired a few months ago and when I fell
they got nice rip about 5 inches long right on the butt . And the
funny part is I didn't realize until I got home ,after I went to the
Bank and a few other places.

Brotherly Love

They were such an easy family to take pictures of and
we had an great time.

Cute little guy!!

2007-12-31T10:39:00.001-05:00

This little guy was great to photograph, every picture just came out perfect. Well, just look at that smile, how could they not?

Snow !!!

2007-12-21T12:45:00.001-05:00

Welcome to SNOWY New England !! Its crazy the amount of snow we've already

had this year . I was listening to the radio coming in today and they were saying

we haven't been hit like this since 1995 . And if you like Snow Sports this is our year

and I'm going to take advantage of it . So this coming Wednesday I'm Snow Shoeing up

Black Mountain !! I'm just a little excited . I finally get to take the snow shoes out of moth

balls. I'll make sure I post some of the pics .

Also , for those of you who don't know this is our office building . Its a neat building

built in 1894 , it was the old courthouse and town office . Now it is privately owned

and needs some work .

But we like it .

I had an awesome time yesterday afternoon. These girls have been

best friends since preschool and they wanted pictures

together before they graduate this year . So we went to this

field with a wicked view and then to this old bridge where

they asked these random bikers if they could borrow their

bikes. I'm working on a slideshow which should be up in a couple

of days.

Seniors

2007-09-19T10:36:00.000-04:00

We had a great time shooting these seniors in Naugatuck, CT.

Their twins so it made even more fun . And the town has an awesome

historic downtown where there were great opportunities for photos.

Also,while we were there the town was having a Portuguese Festival,

it was so much fun . The traditional dancers,music, and FOOD

were unbelievable.
