Quick Update

I have updated a new section on the website - What to Expect.

We usually try to verbally let all our clients know what to expect, but I felt it was good to finally put it in writing. If you are a current client, or a future client log on and take a look!

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

First off - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!!
Now onto the topic of the blog - I graduated from Husson University on Saturday with my MBA. I am so glad to be done. The ceremony was great - it was an excellent end to a chapter in my life. No longer am I going to have to rush from Belfast to Bangor one or two nights a week for class, that will be a nice break for a while.
I also know I haven't blogged or posted a studio photo shoot for a while. So what a better occasion to get into the studio - try on the cap and gown again and take some photos of myself.
I was trying a different technique today, which was inspired by one of my guilty pleasure television shows: Make Me a Supermodel
Now, I am NOT a supermodel - but whenever I watch the show I would like to be the photographers that get to photograph the supermodels - I could care less about the runway part...who cares about walking...pfft...
Anyway - on the last episode of Make Me a Supermodel the models were photographed against dark backgrounds with a rim light - basically a light shined behind them so they stood out from the background. I think I was pretty successful in my attempt.


The next thing I need to figure out is how to make my black background look black, not purple. Either way I think it works.

I have to share - I was expecting Saturday to be a little on the chilly side - and when I got to campus at 8:45 in the morning, it was chilly so I put on the sweater I brought just in case. That was a BAD decision, by the time we took the field it was probably close to 60, and then by high noon, I think we were into the 70's and I, in a black polyester robe, was sweltering. Next time I need to NOT listen to myself and suck it up!

I couldn't help but compare this graduation against my UMaine graduation. UMaine was all about efficiency, and when you are graduating probably close to 1000 students efficiency counts, there isn't a lot of time for Pomp and Circumstance. At Husson though, there was a lot of Pomp and Circumstance. The ceremony was complete with the marching baton and a Bagpipe band. Very nice.

A funny thing about the ceremony, the three photographers, myself, Brandi and my mom, all forgot our cameras, which is why I was inspired to dress up today and take some photos. Oh well, I will have the gown forever and the memories too.


I hope you enjoyed me sharing these photos with you, and also you enjoyed my new technique I am trying out. If you are a supermodel give me a call - my readers may enjoy looking at the pictures of you, rather then me!!

Baby Bump PhotoShoot Posted

I am so pleased to share these photos with everyone. This was a great photo shoot with Amy, David and their Daughter Fiona! I'm glad we were able to focus on some belly shots during this session - it was so CUTE!! Check them out!
Look at that heart - she is a professional heart maker! Love this pics!
Perfect Little baby belly!!


Another professional heart maker!! LOVE IT!! (also love the effect on this one too)



Amelia is due to arrive on May 10th - mother's day - how fitting!! I love working with blocks - this is such a great pic!


What a happy family! We finally were able to get Fiona in some of the shots by reading to her, what a great family moment!


Ok you saw the heart in the first look, but I am so impressed with myself I had to bring it back. Nothing like a little splash of color to spice things up!

She was such a good sport sitting on the driveway!!

Who couldn't resist this. She was trying so hard to blow the bubbles. Bubbles are one of my favorite spring time prop!



This was right at the end, Fiona was really involved now, hugging daddy!
Hope you enjoyed the photo shoot as much as we did! There will be more to come when baby Amelia comes!!

I LOOOOOOOVE This picture.
I couldn't even wait wait for the full post to share this one, I had to share it in the first look. I am so proud of myself for this one. I saw the box of sidewalk chalk in the store and I knew exactly what to do!!!!
Anyway - enough about me - this is about Amy and her baby girl - due in 2 weeks. We were very excited to have the opportunity to photograph Amy and Dave and their second child. We are even more excited for a very selfish reason....she's having a girl, and this will be our first girl newborn shoot.
Stay tuned for the full shoot - it's coming soon!!

Long Overdue on Posting a Wedding

Brandi and I photographed David and Kymberly's wedding the first weekend in March. I have been very busy recently with work so it's been a long time since I posted a photo shoot. We had a great time with the bride and groom and their family!
Its the little details that count :)


I don't know where I got this idea from, the wedding and reception were in the space where a restaurant use to be, and attached to the restaurant is where the lounge use to be, so there were dark table, and dark leather chairs, I wanted to get some alone time for the bride and groom, I think the shot turned out quite well.






The sun was Beautiful this day - couldn't of asked for a better sunny day. We had to get outside into the sun!

Cutting the cake - you now i love cake!


Congratulations David & Kymberly, thank you for letting us spend the day with you!

Life is not a race, but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy. Say 'Thank you', 'I love you', and 'Great job' to someone each day. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Take time for yourself - plan for longivity.
