Kaitlyn’s High School Senior Portrait
I was back in Groton, MA to photograph Kaitlyn for her high school senior portrait on referral from another Groton family. We did a combination of color and black and white as well as some indoor and outdoor photography. We’re able to do a few outfit changes as well as incorporate items to highlight hobbies or school activities, like sports, or in Kaitlyn’s case, her musical talents.
Newborn Baby Photo Session, Mason, NH
I visited Lindsay and Jason’s home in Mason, NH to photograph their newborn baby girl. My favorite is the sleeping baby with stuffed animals keeping her company.
Family portraits near Manchester, NH
I met up with the DuPaul family in late October to photograph their holiday family portrait. I’ve known the couple for years from business networking groups and it was great to take them and their children to a few spots at the Massabesic Audubon Center in Auburn, NH for some nice portraits with the country feel of a barn as well as Fall colors for backdrops.
Lakes Region Family Portrait Session
I took Robert and Trista and their kids to Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, NH for their family portrait session in late August. Castle in the Clouds is a tourist spot for great views and for grabbing a lunch, and of course they host weddings and receptions too. It also makes a great spot for a day out with the family including an on location portrait session. Kevin Jacobus Photography has worked quite a bit with Trista and her family. My associate photographer Nicolaus photographed their vows renewal at Belknap Mills in Laconia, NH and Trista and I worked together on her “Trash the Dress” session in downtown Nashua, NH and in Greeley Park.
Maternity & Baby
Maternity and newborn baby photos are an important and valuable consideration-much like weddings, the birth of a child is a major life event very much worth documenting with professional photography and prints. With newborns, it’s generally a good idea to photograph them in the first two weeks after birth for that sleeping baby image. We can create custom, cost-effective packages for clients where a maternity photo session is scheduled followed by a series of first-year baby portraits at intervals ranging from birth, 3 months, 6 months and a year or more depending on client preferences. We come to you, which makes it easier for new parents while keeping the little one quiet and happy for the photo shoot. This also allows for photographs with unique settings and items included in photos that have a personal reference for our clients.
Children & Toddler Portrait Gallery
One of the best ways to photograph kids is to just let them interact with each other or their environment. Parents are encouraged to work with NH portrait photographer Kevin Jacobus to engage their kids- whether taking a few moments as part of a family portrait session in a local park, or just dedicated solely [...]

Melissa & Adam’s Engagement Session at the Boston Public Garden
I met up with Melissa and Adam at the Boston Public Garden May 17, 2009 to photograph their engagement session. We had a memorable, funny moment–no sooner had I warned them to watch their belongings when an old man came up and started taking their nice leather jackets. He was busted and decided better of it! Added to the excitement of the day, that’s for sure. Their wedding reception was July 31st at Promises to Keep in Derry, NH. Still working on the photos from the wedding. Here’s a few from the engagement in the meantime:
Joey & Cory’s wedding at the Bedford Village Inn
I was back at the Bedford Village Inn for Joey and Cory’s May 16, 2009 wedding.
Amy & Dave’s wedding at the Radisson Nashua
Didn’t have far to go to photograph Amy and Dave’s wedding at the Radisson in Nashua, May 9, 2009.
Aimee & Ryan’s Wedding at the Bedford Village Inn
I photographed Aimee and Ryan’s wedding April 25, 2009 at the Bedford Village Inn in Bedford, NH. This is the first of at least 4 weddings I’ll be photographing there this year.
Jill and Matt’s April Wedding at Topsfield Commons
I photographed Jill and Matt’s wedding ceremony and reception April 17, 2009 at the Topsfield Commons. The ladies got ready at a rented home on Plum Island in Newburyport, MA and we were able to head to the beach after for some photos before the ceremony. I had my associate Nicolaus with me and he photographed the guys getting ready at The Garrison Inn in Newburyport. They all headed down to the boardwalk in Newburyport Harbor for some photographs of the guys.

Katerina & Stephen
Saturday March 7 found me at the wedding of Stephen and Katerina. They met while attending a graduate certificate program at Boston University. Several of their classmates attended their wedding.
Katerina is from Ohrid, Macedonia. Stephen grew up in Peabody, MA. Many of Katerina’s friends from Macedonia attended their wedding. Lively crew–they all danced in long lines holding hands well into the night!
Rally for Ryan
I am excited to announce that I am taking part in a fundraiser for Ryan Cavanaugh of Nashua Thursday evening! Ryan is a 10 year-old boy who has been afflicted with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder of the connective tissue, his entire life. He already had open-heart surgery once when he was 21 months old.
Ryan will undergo open-heart surgery to replace two heart valves and his aortic root. His surgery is scheduled for March 12. Unfortunately, his family found out that the surgery was needed only within the past few weeks, after a recent MRI. Doctors said the surgery would have to be scheduled as soon as possible.
Trevor & Sarah
‘I was at the Grandview Inn & Resort in Jaffrey, NH February 28, 2009 for Sarah and Trevor’s wedding. Their ceremony was held at Merrimack Valley Baptist Church. Trevor works in Maine politics, having been a legislative aide and now Grassroots Director of Maine Leads! Sarah is a nurse at Eastern Maine Medical Center and is about to start her Masters in Nursing at Husson University in Bangor, ME.
They were introduced to each other at a family party by Trevor’s sister Camara. Have a look at their cake– Sarah made her own wedding cake!
Glassblowing at Diablo
I mentioned in a previous post that I’m developing an interest in glass art. My girlfriend Nancy gave me a gift certificate to Diablo Glass School in Boston and I took a weekend course there Feb. 14-15.
My classmate who took this photograph is Rachel Moyal, who happened to be a cast member on MTV’s Real World Austin show.
Glassblowing is very unforgiving. You have to work, pay attention, and not make mistakes or you’ll risk breaking the piece or messing it up.
Images with IMPACT
Kevin is teaming up with a Boston non-profit organization to do portraiture and donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit Impact Boston. 2009 is shaping up to be a tough year for many. Non-profits will no doubt struggle to provide services at the level they have in the past. It’s my intention for this year to have a portion of my professional and creative endeavors benefit those in need, and my belief is you get back what you give. So read on to learn more, see how you can take part, and also receive something of value in return.
Back from the 2009 Digital Wedding Forum Convention
I was out in Carefree, Arizona Jan. 10-15 for the 2009 Digital Wedding Forum Convention. It’s good for seeing what is available for products and services in the industry, learning new techniques, business management tips, and for inspiration. One of the best speakers was on the first day, keynote speaker David Williams. He’s an Australian wedding and portrait photographer and among the many valuable thoughts he shared was for photographers to regularly visit art museums to look for inspiration and posing ideas. I’ve always liked going to art museums, and I decided to make an effort to go to as many as I can as often as possible. Since coming back, I’ve gone to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Newark Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, and the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, the last because I heard they were closing and hadn’t been, so I figured I better before it did.
Caitlin and Chris
I photographed Caitlin and Chris for their engagement session at Harvard Yard and along the Charles River on the Cambridge side. I’m photographing their wedding in August. They’re both Harvard grads, hence the setting. They’re having their wedding reception at the Seaport Hotel.
Stacy & Jim
Stacy and Jim had a New Year’s Eve wedding at were married at St. Anthony’s in Lawrence, MA, followed by a New Year’s party at the Andover Country Club. Stacy is Lebanese, and the wedding had a Maronite tradition–crowning at the ceremony.
Cathy & Kyle
Cathy & Kyle were married at the Veronique Ballroom in Brookline, MA, Dec. 20, 2008. She ended up getting ready there because there was a major snowstorm that day. Unfortunately, many guests from out of town couldn’t make it because of weather delays. Further compounding their wedding woes was the discovery of grease on the back of her dress that they suspected was caused by a hotel cleaning staff member moving her dress in her hotel room beforehand. Fortunately, Veronique staff had all kinds of solutions– club soda and a stain marker. Vigorous scrubbing for at least 20 minutes saved the dress, and the day. From then on, it was all fun and partying, and even a little snow fun…..
