I have already shown a few of my favorites here.

Deanna was my ninth juxtaposition session, and I have to admit I was looking forward to this one even more than most of the sessions. When Deanna told me she has worked at a family-owned amusement park for a good portion of her life, I knew that would mean backstage access to the facilities and lots of colors and fun. You can probably tell from the photos we were all having a really good time! We were laughing most of the day. Since it was a Monday holiday, Ali didn’t have to go into work and came with us to assist instead so he was a great extra in our carousel shots. These shoots are so much more difficult when I don’t have people helping out… so many props and some of the credit for these fun and hilarious photos goes to Carrie (also a Canobie Lake employee) and Ali.

True to the Yelp reviews I had read previous to our visit, Canobie Lake Park staff members were helpful and kind. They waited while we went on the rides and let us jump the queues, despite another photographer who ruined the policy for everyone else and did stupid and dangerous things to get shots a couple of weeks before our shoot. Thanks for accommodating us, Canobie Lake!

If this doesn’t say awesome I don’t know what does.
