Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the World Wide Web. My name is Darlene Terry and I work primarily in the Midcoast region of Maine, but am willing to travel within reason. I offer wedding coverage, events and portraits, all with a unique, relaxed style. I am available for on-location photo sessions, preferably outside to take advantage of the natural light. I hope you enjoy your visit! Please feel free to contact me for more information or to set up your photo session.

Winter in Maine {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on January 31, 2010

For those of us who live in Maine, it’s a known fact that somewhere in the midst of all the winter months, we do nothing but dream about the return of summer. However, when you are blessed with a January thaw and the temperatures soar above 32 degrees, there is a special magic that soothes us. Over the years I have developed a true love for the peace and quiet that winter gives. The extreme temperatures, in both summer and winter, are the most difficult for me to tolerate.

About a week and a half ago I was at a friends house. When I arrived it was still pretty cold, but it slowly warmed. She has two beautiful children, a huge herd of goats, horses and three Bernese Mountain dogs. Speaking of dogs, if you should ever want the most gentlest of giants, the Bernese Mountain dogs are amazing. Below you will see some images of their interactions with the kids.

I’ve been trying a new approach with my photo editing. I’m learning the art of combining textures with vintage actions. I’m loving how the pictures take on a completely different meaning. Or maybe what’s really happening is the true meaning is shining through. What do you think?
