I first Photographed Kayley as a Senior a few years ago.. she was living in MA then and has since located to Hardwick, VT. She contacted me about doing a fun couple’s session. I met up with Mike and Kayley in Saint Johnsbury, VT and we then moved to a few locations that I frequent between there and my studio in Monroe, NH. We ended our fun, modern session in my studio and despite it being a bit windy and chilly during our session, it was a fun time and the result are images that capture this young couple in this amazing time in their lives. Thanks Kayley and Mike!!! -Sammi
We had a little fun in the studio today in honor of Valentines Day. Went a little Audrey Hepburn with hairstyle and she had fun being a ham in front of the camera.

I know I have neglected my poor blog, but in the height of Senior Portraits, I have a good excuse. My third year as a HS Senior Portrait Photographer, this has been such an amazing year. I adore photographing Seniors, especially from the area where I started it all. It’s reassurance the 45 minutes to see me isn’t so far after all.
Sarah, the youngest in her family was my first senior girl this year. The hectic world of relocating gave me doubts I would be able to get in the full swing of Senior Portraits this season, but Sarah told me she knew she wanted me to take her portraits when she saw images of a senior friend from last year. What a fantastic compliment. I feel as though I have more then a professional relationship with my clients and meeting with Sarah and her Mom, Carol proved just that. Thank you so much for choosing me to capture these truly important portraits.

My new Red “Lola” Epiphanie camera bag arrived today! I absolutely love it! My old camera bag was really not my style. It served it’s purpose well enough, but always seemed bulky and not comfortable. My Epiphany bag is just my style… truly gorgeous and very well made. It will fit my canon cameras and L lenses just fine. This way, my camera can really go everywhere! Don’t forget to enter the 1K giveaway Here. You could win a Photography session worth over $500!!!!
I am a hypocrite.. I admit it. I don’t necessarily feel like my “likes” on fb defines my business. However, being in a new place, I would like to see some new faces too! Word of Mouth has been my biggest, amazing advertisement. I am so thankful when people do refer me. It makes me feel all warm and gushy inside knowing the love of my chosen career makes people happy and they love and appreciate custom portraiture as much as I do. In a business where most prosumer cameras’ price points are pretty reasonable and having a photography “business” is easy as addding “photography” to your name, it’s a challenge to set yourself apart. Thankfully I have a client base that truly can, at a glance, know the difference. I HEART all of you that do.. THANK YOU!!!!

I knew the Custom Frame to display my newest portrait in my new living room would be something from The Organic Bloom. I knew I wanted something different from everything else I saw in the general market, and The Organic Bloom’s custom frames are just so gorgeous and unique. You can make it your own with custom colors and a design that works with any decor. I ordered mine to incorporate the colors of my new living room and would work with any portraits if I choose to change them out from year to year. Like a piece of furniture, it was an investment. It’s timesless and no matter if I change up my styles and colors, it will remain a constant fixture. Each of my Fall Family clients will have a chance to win an 8×10 frame with their choice of style and colors from The Organic Bloom and a portrait print from their session. Around The Bend Photography is proud to be a Full Service, Custom Boutique Studio.
Pictured is a Twin Stack Frame in two different colors and a glaze added to the inside frame, custom made for a 16×24 portrait. As you can see the over-all dementions are larger, which is one of the components that makes these frames so amazing. Each mounted print 11×14 and larger from Around The Bend Photography is beautifully textured and sprayed for protection.
A few spots left for my Fall Family and Children Special… email me for times and dates sam@aroundthebendphotography.com or call 603.638.3014
Dylan traveled from a few towns south of Littleton, NH to see me. He originally went to school at Hazen Union in Hardwick, VT. I was thrilled when his Mom called to ask me to photograph his Senior Portraits. He aspires to work in the Law Inforcement field and plans on attending Champlain College in Burlington, VT when he graduates. He is an athlete and practices martial arts. I won’t try and spell the exact art, but it’s impressive. He is a bit shy, but we had a fantastic session. When his Mom came to view his photos, it was confirmed. Thanks Dylan, thank you Robin..enjoy!
Seniors… Save 40% off your session if you book now! Yearbook Deadlines are coming soon and hectic school life will soon be upon you. sam@aroundthebendphotography.com
Kyle was my first Senior of the season. His Mom contacted me months ago, excited about his session. Kyle goes to the Green Mountain Technical Center. He is involed in the forestry program and all around lover of anything outdoors. He helps his Dad in the woods and as the youngest in his family, I am sure it will be bittersweet for his Mom to let him go in a few months. We had a great session, his easy going attitude and relaxed style made our time go by quickly. Thank you Kyle and thank you Della for choosing me as the photographer to capture these once-in-a-lifetime portraits.
August Sessions are taken but September is a great month to get those portraits done! Weekends are super limited, so please schedule early! Schedule by August 22nd and take 40% off your session fee. Studio, outside or combination of both is available. Also, any portrait order of $299 or more will receive all gallery proofs in a 4×6 spiral bound brag book. My clients love them!
