First Look: Senior & Family | Millinocket Sessions | Millinocket, Maine

I know - I know - it has been a while since we have done anything on the blog - especially a first look.

And this one is LOOOOOONG over due.

This blog also hopefully starts the new tradition of the fall.

Portrait Sessions - Studio & Location in my hometown - Millinocket.

Cause that's where we traveled to get these great shots!!

Yes - I think we will be packing up the studio and making the trip up there again next year for a weekend full of photographs and fun!

So - everyone up there - start thinking about next year!

Anyway - we met with a great family and a great Senior that weekend - and it is our pleasure to introduce you to them!!

First we have three lovely ladies - (and now I am singing the Brady Bunch theme song)

 And, we got up early to spend the morning with this wonderful gentleman - in an Awesome location!!

It's been so long since we had these sessions - that it should not be long before we are able to share the full post with you all!!!  Come back!

Family Portraits | Double Trouble - Haskells x 2 | Cascade Park, Maine

 We hope that everyone had a wonderful Monday.

We are recovering after quite a weekend - not only with our - soon to be annual Millinocket Portrait Session weekend, but also with a reminder that no matter what your family is - family is important.

This blog is a great reminder that family is what matters - and I thank everything that our family is alright.

We had a bit of a scare this weekend with our old boy Jonah - for those of you who don't know - he's the dog :).

Well Jonah's old body wasn't being that great to him, and it was giving us quite a scare.

But after some great news today - a couple weeks of some antibiotics and he should be good as new.  I just thank my lucky stars that he gets to breathe his dog breath smile on me for a little while longer.

So - back to this family.  When Dave & Katie's sister in law wanted to give them the gift of photography, we were so glad they came to us.  We love them all - and were happy to photograph them not long after Mr. Evan's first birthday!

So - enough with the chatter right?  Get on with the pictures!

 I love that jaunty little hat!

What a cutie!

 Mr. Evan with his beautiful mother.

 And we can not forget Evan's cousin Mr. Colby.  It was a bit of a chore to get him to smile, but it was totally worth every second of it!  Look at that FACE!

 And the givers of the gift of Photography (maybe you should give the gift of photography too!! :))

Michelle and Brian.

 Happy Happy Family!

 Cousins. 

They are giving me a weird face.

 And it wouldn't be a family session with out Grammie.

And her boys.

 Dads and the Boys.

 And the WHOOOOOOOOLE family!

 This is one of my favorites.

You can just see him saying MOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

But it is so darn cute!

Portraits | Jack & Family | Dover Foxcroft, Maine

 We do more than weddings!!

I know you have seen a ton of wedding stuff out of us recently - and we love it.

But there is more to us, oh so much more.

And this brings up something else that we love.

Families who come back year after year after year!!!

This would be the 4th time we have photographed this great family.

And during this 4th time, we meet Mr. Jack!

And what a cutie.

 I couldn't resist the little curl - seeing as I have a similar one, in what little hair I have!

 Look at those eyes.

And the cheeks too!

 You saw a version of this shot in the first look.  Little Jack was determined to roll over today.

His very first time - and boy was he tired after he got over!

Glad we were there to capture it!

 I am total in Love Love Love with this next series.

I can see a 3 shot canvas collage - can't you?

 We couldn't resist this camera Ham and big brother extraordinaire - DEAN.

Full of energy - love this little guy!

 Back to Mr. Jack - and those little piggies - he had monkey feet!!

Flexing his toes - just reminded me of monkey toes!! Love Love Love baby feet!

 LOVE THIS!

 And those eyes!

 And those CHEEKS!!!

 Ahhh but we have to end with this cute little smile.

What a cutie!!

The Little Lobsterman - Thomaston, Maine

Well let me tell you - I think I got the blog looking ok again. I can't figure out how to get the pictures big again.... anyone know how to get them back?

ANYWAY - how about a cutie on the blog?

Look at the smile on him!!

I just love those eyes!!

He was just a movin' and a shakin' those hands!!

Gotta love the tootsies! I can't do a shoot without getting at least one shot of the tootsies!!

He is such a happy baby!!

Again, with those eyes!!

Ok, this was something we tried - thus the lobsterman title.

That is daddy's "color" that he is propped up on!!

First Look: Terrible Twos Turned out OK - Bucksport Studio

I had to log on for a quick first look of our first family of the weekend!

This picture below has a special significance to me.

And why is it special you ask?

This is a post melt-down picture.

Pretty good huh?

Brandi and I are not afraid of the terrible twos.  We have seen it before.

We'll take pictures of the melt downs, or we'll figure out how to work around it.

We got out EVERY Potato Head that we had in order to distract Miss Lily here.

It eventually worked - that, and me giving the camera over to Brandi.

Apparently she wasn't a big fan of me.

But - again - another great reason there are two of us!

There is so much more to this great family - you'll have to check back to see them though!

Some Cuties for Your Hump Day: Bucksport & Studio

Brandi and I have waited a long time to get these cuties on the Blog.

We think of the blog as our own little walk of fame, and we are happy to brighten up your Wednesday with these little faces!!

Abby & Jackson - comin' at ya!

It was such a great day out, we couldn't help but hit the waterfront in Bucksport to run around, and pose for some pics.  Also I think running around helped wear them out for the studio later!!

That little Jackson - he was a ball of fun! I defiantly got my exercise for the day chasing him around!

And we are giving the serious look now!

And enter the studio!

I love sessions like this.  We start outside, enjoy the beautiful weather then once they are worn out a little - head inside, have a donut hole and take some pictures!

Yes, even dolly is welcome in the studio!

A little love on the blog is never a bad thing.

And a little random-ness

I have to say - this may be one of my favorites.

She is going to be a handful of SASS when she grows up!

Watch out Mom and Dad!

Again, it was so great to work with this family - we hope to see them for years to come.

I wanted to take some time with this post to talk about our family sessions.

We love photographing the kiddos - even though we do not have any of our own.

We are very easy going and understand that it's not easy to get them both together and have a perfect smile.

Patience is our style.

Perfect smiles are not always the goal.

I think that family pictures are always better when you look like a family.

We hope that when you come to us, you want your pictures to look like your family.

We can tell you that we will take those perfect pictures of your family, but your family may not have that perfect smile, or be sitting up straight.  We will tell you that we will capture that picture of your son sticking out his tongue in only the way that YOUR son can!

That's what we are about!

E-mail us to reserve your session!
