Annabelle and Kara

Posted on May 31, 2010

I can’t say no to my daughter when she asks me to take photos of her and her friend.  “Kara is coming over on Sunday so can we do a photo shoot on the Round Pond water front?”  YES!!  Early evening, sunshine, water, boat docks and two young beauties – perfect!  She’s growing up so fast, I want to document as much as she’ll let me.  I’ll edit that pile of other pictures tomorrow!

I love that they can still be inquisitive and not be shy about enjoying the moment.

Oh my, there is a combination of little girl and young woman in this image.  Precious!

I thought this was pretty cool.

I think this is my new favorite one of Annabelle.  I love the color version too, but I really love the black & white.  She’s standing in water.

Some day I’ll put up the color version, but right now I’m in a black & white mood for a few of these images.  I’m finding the darkness under piers make very dramatic backdrops.

This one and the next I was waiting for the girls to come out of the tide pools (they were looking for little crabs) so I sat on the rocks with my long range lens and clicked away.  I love how dramatic the above one looks, and the one below I love the reflections.

Yes, they let the crabs go!

Family Portraits in Round Pond Maine

Posted on September 16, 2009

This was a really fun photo session to do.  You can tell this family has a lot of good times together.  I loved the fact that they all dressed in black and white.  Even more amazing is they wanted to include their four dogs in the pictures – two black and two white!  Needless to say the black and white photos are my favorite, although the color images really show the beautiful lighting I had to work with.  I hope you all enjoy the results!
