Established 2014 · Newmarket, NH · Serving the NH Seacoast
I'm Chris Cote. I've spent over 30 years behind a camera, and the last twelve doing one thing: making portraits of business people on the NH Seacoast that actually look like them. My studio is at the Newmarket Mills in Newmarket. I travel to offices and locations across the region for team sessions and on-location work.
Most of my clients aren't photographers. They don't know what they want until they see it, and they're a little nervous about the process. That's completely normal, and something I've spent years getting good at. Every session starts with a conversation about how you want to come across. Instead of camera settings and lighting rigs we talk about your work, your audience, and what this photo needs to do for you. Then I take care of the rest.
