Winter Light {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on February 17, 2010

This post is inspired by the Shutter Sisters.

I love all the seasons as each one offers its own beauty. Color is everywhere, even in the dull gray of winter.

There is something so endearing about horses in their winter coats.

There is a certain glow in the early morning during the winter months. It makes everything warm and magical.

Even though this isn’t focused, I still love the action and the light.

And I love the colors during a snow storm found happily playing in the pasture. They are, of course, in the form of four-legged furry creatures!

Moments That Stir the Heart {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

There can be no great love than the one shared between a child and its parents. I had the privilege and honor to witness such love, and even better, to photograph some very tender moments.  It also gave me a chance to practice using textures and vintage actions.

When you have brought up kids, there are memories you store directly in your tear ducts.  ~Robert Brault

The Magic of Light {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on January 18, 2010

I am continually awed by how light can either make or break a photograph. Yes, I have gone out with my camera on a cloudy day and the images captured were beautiful. They even glowed with a particular light found only on cloudy days.

What I love, however, is the sunlight that exists towards the end of the day or the first couple of hours after sunrise. “The golden hours.” The magic of light.

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.  ~Vladimir Nabokov

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.  ~Aaron Rose

Proof that Winter Exists {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on January 9, 2010

Winter has become one of my favorite seasons. I know that sounds crazy to a lot of people. Yes, there are plenty of days throughout winter that I dread. Even despise. I can say that about all four of the seasons. What it boils down to is I don’t care for the extremes that each of these seasons can sometimes be possessed by.

What I love so much about winter is it allows me a chance to regroup. To catch up on my life. To initiate change. To slow down and evaluate. To drink in the quiet, still voice of nature.

I am not idle during these months of darker days. I am outside a lot with my animals, watching them play. Enjoying the lack of biting insects and sweltering heat. Winter has a certain charm that for some must be understood to appreciate. It took me many years to come to this place of appreciation. As January creeps deeper into the cave of winter, I follow, knowing there is light on the other side.

My daughter inquired last night why I don’t put pictures of her up on my blog.  I was surprised by the question but answered to her, “you always said NOT to put any of your pictures up, that’s why!”  She replies, “well you can now; I like what you’re doing.”  I love feedback like that, especially from my opinionated daughter!

I love her many expressions and I’m quite surprised she’s allowing me to put a couple of these up.  Enjoy!

I just love this one!
