The black flies are in full force here in Maine, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time having your photos taken.  All one needs to do is get away from the forest and fields and head to the coastline.  Black flies don’t like the salty air!  The only thing flying around was the wind.  The late day sun added to the beauty of these already beautiful young women.  My daughter has actually been asking for photo sessions with her friends, which I will never refuse.  I used to have to beg her to let me take her picture, but this session, in her own words “went really well!”  And one of her favorite shots was when I asked them to lay on their bellies, which she doesn’t like to do.  See, maybe I do know a thing or two about what will look good in a photograph!

For all you 2013 seniors out there, it’s time to have your senior photos taken.  The earlier the better.  Bring a senior friend or two along who also needs their photos taken and we can do some group shots, as well as separate shots.  Call me for group rates!!  It’ll be fun!

Even though it is technically Spring, I call it the in-between season.  It doesn’t look like Spring, unless you get up close to the ground and notice new grass rising from the earth.  Or bulbs parading their greenery.  Or the maple trees swelling buds.  There is a golden brown and skeletons of gray.  Ah, but the robins have come out in full force and the snow is completely gone.  In fact, the snow has been gone for a long time now.  So unusual for Maine.  But this has been an unusual year on many levels.

We had a day in March that felt like summer, and people behaved like it was summer, too.

My visit to Boothbay Harbor proved that winter still lingered, although the one store I found open begged to differ.

There is just something about railroad tracks that I simply love.  I love the way they look and the way they seem to meander forever and ever, inviting one to dream and explore.

“Secret Garden” comes to mind when I’m here.

There is simple beauty in everything.  I truly love how photographing the ordinary can create peace for me.
