Summer Time with Annabelle

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:50:53 +0000

I carry you with me into the world,
into the smell of rain
& the words that dance between people
& for me, it will always be this way,
walking in the light,
remembering being alive together. – The Story People

High School Senior Portrait Special & Contest

2 people – $450

3 people – $600

4 people – $750

Let’s have some fun with your senior pictures! After all, it’s your last year in high school, and for some, it’s your last year in school with your friends. Here’s my idea:

Bring up to 3 friends along (who are also seniors and need their senior portrait taken) and I will take group pictures as well as individual ones. What I’d like to encourage is creativity. You can design your photo session however you want, as long as it’s clean and legal.

wear costumes
have a theme
include pets
incorporate your sport
bring instruments if you’re musicians
dance
play!
(insert your idea here)

Contest: for the individual or group that has the most creative photo session, you will win a 40 page hard bound photo book using the images from your session.

Included in your session:

high resolution CD of artistically edited images from your photo session which include rights to reprint
1-3 hours of my time photographing your session
up to 3 locations within 10 miles of each other
unlimited wardrobe changes

Alright Seniors, let’s have some fun!

Schedule your sessions now before I’m all booked up!

I am only doing a limited number of sessions.

Being able to look at a photograph and suddenly be transported back in time to a moment that only lives once, is an investment well worth its weight in gold.

Annabelle and Kara

Mon, 31 May 2010 23:10:05 +0000

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!

Kira & Mike Engagement Session

Mon, 17 May 2010 17:31:46 +0000

Oh my, when love is in the air, everything is beautiful. I had the pleasure of meeting a very sweet couple in a most gorgeous setting. On a Sunday morning, along the Coast of Maine, in May with the sun shining and breeze blowing – I don’t think it gets any better than this. Well, actually it does – I got to photograph Mike & Kira at the very location their upcoming wedding in September is going to take place. I just love witnessing and documenting love. This is only just a glimpse of their love, and I simply cannot wait till September!! Enjoy ~

More Francis

Fri, 14 May 2010 10:29:40 +0000

Is there any wonder that I love photographing children? There is just something about their ability to be in their moment, pure and real, unafraid of expressing themselves. Ms Francis is a great example. She became very interested in my camera, especially when I showed her the pictures of herself right after I took them. She wanted to push the buttons to see more & more. I’m sure she thought there must be some kind of magic inside that clicking box! Well, I think there is, too, so I clicked away, continuing our show and tell. See for yourself ~

Annabelle and Ashley

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:02:00 +0000

“They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday.” Brian Andreas, “True Things”

“Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life.” Brian Andreas

“He kept a piece of algae behind his ear to remind him of his roots. A million years ago every place was a little place by the sea, he would say & my mind would go blank & I would swim through the day without a care in the world & it all seemed so familiar that I knew I would go back someday to my own little place by the sea.” Story People

“I have heard too much beauty to ever go back, he said & in that moment, I knew there was no way the children of our world would fail.” Brian Andreas

The Everlasting Gaze

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:45:35 +0000

Often, I write all day long with white ink on white paper, late into the night, until it is all I can do to feel the letters curving to earth from the tip of the pen & then, I fall asleep. Dreaming of running, or maybe driving in a car the color of water & I wake the next day remembering nothing & I gather the stack of paper & a pen of black on the desk in front of me & the words begin to dance over the page like long legged insects across a still lake & the words in white whisper behind & underneath the new day. If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can. & there is nothing more to it than that.

Beth & Mike Before their Wedding

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:53:05 +0000

I’ve been going through some pictures that I didn’t even edit yet and I completely forgot about these! The good news is I’ve learned new techniques and have different tools for editing so the results are usually better. I’m sure if I weed through all of my 962,000,000 images, I’ll find more that need tweaking. No, I really don’t know if I have that many pictures, but most days it sure does feel like it.

These pictures were taken just minutes after I met Beth & Mike. We were visiting the location of their wedding on Pemaquid Point. I remember it being very overcast and a bit foggy, but those are good conditions for photographs. Beth’s father was also there. He chauffeured them in his antique Volkswagen Bug. What a beautiful ride!

I just love the love between these two. It has been nearly 8 months since I photographed their wedding. I can’t get over how quickly time flies!

Annabelle and Mary

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:08:27 +0000

Well, my daughter Annabelle turned 15 on the 3rd. We went to the mall – she wanted to hang out with some friends – and then on the way home I took some fun photos of her and her friend Mary. For the most part they came up with all the fun & silly things to do during their session. We all had a blast! Hard not to with warm temperatures along the coast of Maine, especially in April.

To be young and having a good time being silly.

I guess they can’t read!

Taking time out for a quick “sword” fight!

And a little “kung fu”

Some tree hugging.

And airplane flying.

And rock throwing.

Good to know 15 year olds still like to play. How about you? What did you do when you were 15?

Family Fun – {maine event photographer}

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:59:27 +0000

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!
