This summer, we had two dedicated interns working with us two days a week (each!) at the studio. Vivian and Kristen were an awesome help during the summer craziness of weddings, family and senior portraits. Both are headed off to school after this week.
We're really going to miss their smiling faces around the studio . . . especially during outdoor sessions! Thanks Vivian and Kristen- good luck with your fall semesters!
Everyone who works at the Dachowski Photography studio has their movie favorites. Since we consider ourselves fairly visually driven (wouldn't you agree?), our top picks tend to be rather dramatic with addicting scores and unique plot lines. Looking for a few flicks to liven up your next movie night? Here are some of our staff recommendations:
(Disclaimer: not all of these suggestions are family appropriate, so please consult ratings, reviews and the like before viewing with the entire family!)
Jeff: The Fall
What's to like? The plot line is unique, suspenseful, and visually dramatic.
Immortal Beloved
What's to like? Amazing performances all around!
House of Flying Daggers
What's to like? Gorgeous score, beautiful filming style.
Carolle: Il Postino
What's to like? Incredibly sweet, romantic story and great score.
Abby: A Very Long Engagement
What's to like? Unusual characters, quirky scripting and an entire film in sepia-tone.
Pride and Prejudice
What's to like? Gorgeous, lush scenery and a somewhat authentic aesthetic view of Austen's world. The score is sublime.
Vivian (intern): Tangled
What's to like? Easy movie to love and great animation!
Kristen (intern): The King's Speech
What's to like? Fantastic performances (Helena B. Carter in a level-headed role and a non-pirate version of Geoffrey Rush- what?) on every account.
Stand by Me
What's to like? River Phoenix was good even as a kid.
How about you? What films out there do you think we should check out?
You didn't think Jeff and Carolle would come back from their trip without sharing images from their trip, did you? We think you've waited long enough for a glimpse of their wonderful trip.
I feel like there are few words to adequately describe the splendid images they returned with, so I'll just let the photographs speak for themselves. Enjoy!
. . . and that's just scratching the surface. More coming soon!
We've had so much fun working with the new Senior class of 2012. Every day has been packed with indoor and outdoor portrait sessions for students from schools all over New Hampshire. Here are a few portraits Jeff has created over the last few weeks!
The studio has a few appointments left for Seniors before the new school year starts (as well as some after-school appointments for students who can't make it in before classes begin next week). Call us at (603) 626.7300 to reserve your session time!
Maybe you're a beach person . . . or maybe you envision your family surrounded by lush foliage in October?

Some pretty images from a recent New Hampshire wedding shot by Jeff and Carolle . . . just the sweetest couple, gorgeous summer weather and a beautiful setting. We hope you enjoy!
Congrats to the bride and groom, Kelly and Chris- thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!
Here is the latest thing we've been checking out here at the studio- breathtaking ocean images created by Clark Little. We're completely inspired and thought this might be a nice treat to gaze at in this summer heat.
Welcome, August! Wow- can you believe how quickly the summer is flying by? We certainly can't. Here are a couple portraits from our 2011 summer sessions . . .
You may recall from earlier this season, we were thrilled to invite two guest bloggers, Laurie of Madeleine's Daughter and Garrie Madison Stoutimore, to post on our blog while we were away on vacation. We love introducing our readers to different writers and couldn't be happier with what they had to say while we were gone!
Now we're inviting YOU to join our list of contributors as we count down to the start of the new school year. What is your favorite local summer event? Headed somewhere distant and exotic? Are you the gardening guru in your neighborhood? We want to know about the neat things your up to . . . and we want you to share!
Pitch your ideas and submit pieces to abby@dachowskiphotography.com We're excited to hear from you!
