Laconia NH Photographer Archives - New Hampshire Family and Senior Photographer Carey Hough

Meet Meya! She heard about me through her friend, and 2016 Senior SpokesModel, Gabby. She reached out to me and I knew from her laid back personality we were going to have a blast and really make some great pictures. Meya wanted the complete senior photography experience, AND she was already familiar with my awesome makeup artist, Carissa, so we made sure to meet up at Carissa’s spa for some gorgeous makeup and hair perfecting before heading out for her photos. Meya is an awesome athlete and LOVES the outdoors so we headed up at her family’s lake house.

So what did I learn about Meya – besides the fact that she is a stunning model? This girl is a dedicated lacrosse and basketball player that has an awesomely eclectic music taste – or as she told me, “You can’t compare Bon Jovi with Beyonce it just doesn’t work!”. Truer words have never been spoken – but could you imagine how epic that pairing would be at the next MTV Music awards?!?!? Someone needs to get to work on that. And lastly that this girl is a dedicated, hard worker with goals…one day you’re going to call her Dr. Meya (PhD). I’m so glad we took the time to have fun and play before the hardcore studying and future planning starts. Check out some more about Meya and see some of our favorite photos from her session!

What are you looking forward to in your Senior year?
This year I am mostly looking forward to start my own path and create the life I have always wanted for myself.

How do you spend your free time?
I spend my free time playing lacrosse and hanging out with friends, while of course getting my school work done.

College you plan to attend? Do you have any plans on what you think you’ll study?
Right now there are too many options to even narrow down! But one of my favorite schools so far is University Of New England. I’m planning to study Physical Therapy and work my way towards a doctorate degree.

What is special about your high school?
My high school is special because there is something for everyone to be apart of and you can feel just as welcome on a sports team as you are in book club.

What’s your favorite quote and why?
My favorite quote is from Dr seuss and is “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” This is because it was always the mindset I have had.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I have received is probably to live my life how i want and not what others think I want.

Meya it was such an absolute pleasure to take your photos. I know you are going to do awesome next year – and let me know when you’ve got your doctorate! No doubt by that time I’ll need the skills of a Physical Therapist from all the years of photography!

Deanna contacted me earlier this summer because she wanted to schedule photos to celebrate her youngest son’s first birthday. I’ve photographed Deanna’s family before and they are so much fun! I have to say I love the first birthday photos – you never EVER know what you are going to get with them, but it’s a fun time to play and really capture those giggles that mark between being a baby and a toddler. She wanted to make use of the beauty and uniqueness of the Lakes Region and requested we take them down and around Weirs Beach in Laconia. I’m a sucker for the lake and boardwalks so I was absolutely on board with her ideas! In addition to capturing her youngest’s first birthday, she wanted some updated family photos – and since it has been a couple years since the last time we photographed them.

We played around and explored the boardwalk for a couple hours. The kids really loved checking everything out, running around and just having fun making faces at me. I am in LOVE with her youngest son’s smile – it was just adorable. Her daughter is just beautiful and I love that we were able to get some more serene images if her. And her oldest son just absolutely is Mr. Personality. He did a great job making me laugh throughout our session!

P.S. If you are looking for Fall family photos in the Lakes Region make sure to contact me – I’d love to work with you to create a custom photo session. Updated family photos are great for not only yourself, but your annual holiday cards and especially great for holiday gifts. My October and November dates are filling up VERY fast though and it is first come first served so don’t wait to get in touch!
