A new project for Dachowski Photography.

As you may imagine, as wedding photographers, Jeff and Carolle have met many couples and photographed weddings from numerous faith traditions.

Recently, the St. Joseph Catholic Family Center produced a short video featuring some of the couples whose weddings were photographed by Jeff and Carolle. Jeff was happy to contribute the imagery for the production and also recorded the on-camera interviews at the studio.

This is a new venture for Jeff and we're all very excited about trying different things!

Here is a peek at the final result:

We like San Antonio!

Well, Jeff and Carolle are back from Imaging USA, the annual convention for the Professional Photographers of America in San Antonio, TX. We've been shouting from the rooftops about Carolle's Master degree and there are quite a few more highlights worth mentioning:

Jeff and Carolle both were awarded Photographer of the Year (second year in a row for both . . . this is Jeff's fourth).

Jeff mentored other photographers and studio owners at the PPA Studio Management Services (SMS) booth at the Imaging trade show.


(Jeff shows off at the SMS booth . . .never short on enthusiasm, that one.)

Meeting up with friends and colleagues!

We have stationery!

Greetings, all!

I'm so pleased to announce that Dachowski Photography now carries beautiful artisan notecards featuring some of Jeff and Carolle's award winning scenics. The cards come in packages of 5 assorted seasonal images.



The cards contain no internal text, so they'll make terrific thank you letters, friendly notes to loved ones and are perfect for professional use too! They're in stock at the studio . . . so call us to let us know you'd like to drop by or to place an order!

Jeff and Carolle make state photography history!

We are proud to announce that Carolle has earned her Master of Photography degree from Professional Photographers of America! Carolle was awarded her degree Tuesday at the Imaging USA Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Jeff was overjoyed with the honor of presenting Carolle with her Master's in a formal ceremony during the conference.

If that's not exciting enough, Jeff and Carolle are the first married couple in New Hampshire to earn individual Master of Photography degrees (Jeff earned his in 2009)--- less than 3% of national PPA members hold the Master's distinction (and now we have two at the studio!).

The degree is awarded only to photographers who have achieved "superior competence" as demonstrated through advanced education in the art of photography, work submitted to competition and service to the profession. Recipients must qualify for this degree through a series of merit earnings and art submissions.

Please join us in congratulating Carolle- we're so proud of her!

It's a family thing.

We are so honored to share the milestones of our clients' lives. This fall, Jeff and Carolle photographed the wedding of Julia and Chris Leddy . . . it was a gorgeous fall day, and as you can see, this couple was fun-loving and totally ready to make beautiful images on their special day!











Now, photographing the wedding of a bride and groom is pretty special as it is, but Julia was the third sister in her family to be married . . . and Jeff and Carolle photographed them all! It's not every day that the studio has such a close relationship with a wedding party's family . . . and to be the chosen photographer for not just one but THREE brides in a family was such a compliment!

Take a look at some of the portraits Jeff and Carolle created just a few years ago for Julia's sisters . . . here for Meghan's day in 2006:









And Alyssa's wedding in November of 2009:









A special thank you to Meghan, Alyssa and Julia for letting us tell the stories of their wedding days; we were so happy to share them with you!

Jeff photographs local music artist.

Jeff recently had the pleasure of photographing local musician John R. Wallace at the studio . . . it's a little known fact that Jeff is a musician himself (rumor has it that he plays a mean bass) and was happy to support someone from the area by creating neat images for John's developing website, blog and up-and-coming EP.



John headed to Nashville just a few days after this session . . . we're excited to see where his career takes him! You can check out his music and blog here. Some of Jeff's work is already featured there!

A Cannon Mountain shoot for Parable Magazine.

Boy, were our teeth chattering early this week.

Jeff and I took off before daylight on Tuesday to meet up with world class skier Dan Egan and Sarah Jane von Haack of Parable Magazine. We took at tram up to the summit of Cannon Mountain with the early morning patrol crew to take advantage of the amazing views and beautiful light. It was a gorgeous morning to create images!



Dan is profiled in the Parable's March/April 2011 issue. We are so pleased that Jeff was asked to photograph him for the feature. As you can see from these two snapshots (above and below by Sarah Jane von Haack of Parable) there's not much Jeff won't do for a good shot.



Needless to say, we had a blast with Sarah Jane and Dan.



We can't wait to see the issue when it comes out in March . . . we hope you check it out! And just in case you can't wait to see what Jeff captured, here is a quick sneak peek:
