We're so excited to be on the cover of Jeremy Noyes Fine Art Photography 2027 Calendar!

-LIFE IS WHAT YOU LAKE OF IT-
This photograph was taken from Ames Farm Inn in Gilford, New Hampshire, during one of the most breathtaking sunrises I’ve ever witnessed on Lake Winnipesaukee. Even though I captured this image last year, I never shared it on Facebook or Instagram. That morning was one of those rare ones where every direction seemed to offer another incredible composition, so I was constantly moving from one spot to the next. At the time, I thought I had taken several stronger images, but after revisiting them later in the year, this one quietly rose to the top. Looking back, I truly believe it ended up being my favorite photograph I captured all year.
I also just finished selecting the images for my 2027 Lake Winnipesaukee calendar, and I’m excited to say I chose this photograph for the cover. The calendars should be arriving in less than two weeks, so if you’d like me to set one aside for you, just let me know!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!!!

TEST RUN
In a nod to the early 1900s when Steamships picked up guests at our dock. Fun to see the Winnipesaukee Spirit at The Farm!

Excited for the possibility of offering cruises from our dock to hotel guests.

Stay tuned...
