Family Fun – {maine event photographer}

Posted on October 28, 2009

Some families are just plain silly, especially when they all convene into one spot for a late afternoon BBQ in the middle of September.  I have known the Ineson’s and Stackhouse’s f.o.r.e.v.e.r it seems, so it was a lot of fun to capture their giggles on this gorgeous day last month.  Hopefully they will treasure these memories for years to come.

As I said – SILLY!

Daughter-Father love & sillies.

Mother-Daughter bliss.

So sweet!

Aww, Piggy love!

More piggy love!

A different kind of love . . . and he could have been a pro, too!

“Oh really!” she’s thinking.

“Let’s see who’s tallest!”

. . . or silliest!

Love the sweetness caught here.

Lovely ladies.

. . . and silly ladies, too, of course!

Round Pond 4th of July Parade

Posted on July 6, 2009

The Round Pond 4th of July Parade is most likely by far the most well attended parade in Maine.  “Anything goes” seems to be the flavor of the parade.  It’s usually quite political, but with no elections on the horizon, there was no evidence of that this year.  A lot of local businesses tastefully and patriotically marching through the street, proudly showing all the many thousands of onlookers who they are.  The colors and costumes and floats and, of course, the children were all fabulous!

If anyone knows any of these people, could you please contact them and let them know about the pictures.  I am having a special on portrait sessions for any of the people I happened to photograph during the Round Pond parade (as well as those I photographed at the Pirate Rendezvous.)  They will get  25% off any portrait session package.  Offer good through July 31, 2009.

Editors Note: I am extending the 25% off any portrait session package to EVERYONE!

Pirate Rendezvous – Damariscotta, Maine

Posted on June 15, 2009

Damariscotta, Maine just had the most amazing event this past Saturday, June 13th.  It was the second annual “Pirate Rendezvous.” The entire town was completely packed, featuring the Mystic Pirates of Damariscotta, who came in two pirate ships and took over the town at high noon.

Nearly every child that attended was dressed up in pirate attire, wielding plastic swords, wearing head bands and eye patches.  Some had a hook at the end of their arm, mimicking Captain Hook, others were having mock sword fights and some were having their faces painted.

There were musicians, reenactors, story tellers, book signings, and games.  After the pirate ships anchored and came ashore, pirates and children alike took over the town.  It was an exhausting day but so much fun!  Despite all the rain we’ve been having, this particular day was sunny and warm!

Here are just a few pictures I took.  If you want to see the rest (all 150 of them) I have two galleries – one all color and the other all black and white and sepia.  I personally think the black & white & sepia are much more dramatic.  Take a look  HERE.
