As 2012 comes to an end, all I can do is thank God for all the blessings. Even though this past year has had some bumps on the road, all I have to do is look at this little guy (and my other three) and smile. Hope you have a great last day of 2012! Happy New Year!
Nothing can beat a beautiful relationship with mother and son. I was blessed to be able to capture this pair’s fun, close, and loving relationship….. just look at these photos!!!
I look forward to photographing this growing boy and his relationship with his mama.
… I get the honor of photographing senior portraits. I do not advertise or promote myself as a senior portrait photographer, so when I get to do one, it is so nice.
So, this session is from October, but with a new baby and a busy last few months with sessions, I am finally getting around to posting on this blog. So you’ll see a lot more posts, now that I am on “winter vacation.” :)
Well, this lovely young lady goes to Eastpoint Christian Church with me. Actually, through this session we have new friends at church. Her mother is so wonderful and now helps with the moms group that I am a part of, called MOPS.
I look back at these photos and amazed at her beauty and was reminded of the fun session we had. I think I captured her inner and outer beauty quite well. :) What a sweet young lady and family!
(These photos are from the little session I had with my children when my littlest Buzz was only two weeks old. )
Not only am I thankful for my wonderful husband and beautiful children, but also to you guys. I am so blessed that God has given me a gift of photography, and that I can meet and capture beautiful family moments.
I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Do you remember these boys? Look how much they have grown! I started capturing family portraits of these guys when the little one was only 6 months old. The last time I saw little Jonah was last winter (at age 1), and wow, he has changed so much. It was so fun watching him run around.
What a special pair. It is always so great to watch and capture this great relationship!
I cannot believe another year has flown by and my little Bear turned three. I look back at photographs from this year and he has really changed. My once little baby is now all grown-up looking. However, I think because I have two older children, Bear still looks “babyish” to me. I am trying to cherish this time because I know that with a wink of the eye, he’ll be starting Kindergarten soon.
So, it has been a busy last few months. I forgot how exhausting it is to have a newborn, let alone three other children to tend to. I’ve also had a full schedule of sessions, and even got the pleasure to capture class portraits for a preschool. I will slowly post the many amazing photographs from recent sessions soon. But, today is all about celebrating with my little guy!
I had the privilege to document this great event organized by Peekaboo Children’s Center. It was their first annual Health Child Day. Kids Gone Raw was there making Healthy Spinach Berry Smoothies. There was a workshop, “Music Exploration for Families” by Kate Beever of Maine Music and Health. Amazon bestseller author of "What Not To Say: Tools for Talking with Young Children", Sarah MacLaughlin shared about ”Brains, Tantrums, and Listening: Better Communication and Problem-Solving with Young Children.” It looked like the parents and kids really enjoyed their morning at Peekaboo!
On August 14th, our little bumble bee joined and completed our family of 6. He is seven weeks old now, and it feels like yesterday when he arrived. I cannot believe how fast time is flying and I wish I can just pause it, so I can soak up all his newness.
These images document his first three days at the hospital.
It is always a guarantee that we will capture beautiful, natural, and fun moments with this family. I love photographing returning families. I love that these kids know me, and act natural around me. They aren’t shy and just play while I click away on my camera.
I was able to witness such a beautiful love of a mother whose boys are growing up. Her oldest son is closing a chapter of his life, and starting a new one next year in college.
Her boys called this photo session, “Mom’s Pictures.” What a great treasure to capture moments with her son before they head off to start their own lives.
This trio’s closeness and fun relationships were evident through the session. It was an honor to be able to capture part of their journey together.

Not only are these two the coolest - they are also the coolest friends! I’ve known this soon-to-be mama since we were thirteen in high school. Went to the same college and were even roommates. Both teachers, well… she is a professor now and now we have the same due date! The only thing is that she is in Atlanta, and I am here in Maine.
I so wish we were in the same town to share this journey together and to have our babies be best buds.
It was such a blessing to capture these moments for her. I was able to capture their fun, loving, and stylish personalities. These two are so terrific together and I think it is evident through these photographs. I cannot wait to meet baby! She will be one lucky girl to have such a cool mom and dad!

This morning I had the privilege to capture this couple’s baby’s first portraits. It is so special to me that I get to meet a couple and then photograph them again with a new baby. This little baby boy is one lucky baby to have these two as parents. There was non-stop doting on baby and each other.
I just feel so blessed to be able to capture these beautiful moments and memories that I hope families will cherish for a lifetime.
I am so blessed and thankful for 8 years of being happily married to my man. It has been such a incredible journey, at times hard… but it is getting better and better. I feel like the luckiest woman to share this journey with him.
Today I woke up to find a Sea Bag with the number 8 on it and a plant inside. The first gift he gave me, was also a bag with a plant inside.
Seriously, I am one lucky lady!
Well, the countdown has begun and I am only four weeks away from my due date. I love making guesses on delivery dates and times, so I thought this giveaway might be some fun for everyone.

I find such joy when a family returns to me to photograph their family portraits. I’ve had the honor of photographing the ‘T’ family again, and watch these beautiful children grow bigger.
Even though these children are taller now, their personalities have not change. This beautiful little girl, again was shy and had me working hard to grab these precious moments. Her brother makes clicking away easy - he was full of smiles and loved sharing his life with me.
I enjoy this family and hope to continue to capture their fleeting moments.
I had the privilege of photographing, Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte, for her newly-released Kindle Edition book, Nowhere, a story of exile.
I know Anna through her beautiful knitted creations. Many of my photographs that are adorned with knitted hats are from her - Lovemook: Handknit for Babies. I’ve also photographed her beautiful children for her family portraits.
This project has been in the works for many years, and feel so honored to be a part of it and capturing her beauty for her book. Go and take a peek, and read her “heart-wrenching story told through a personal medium; through the diary entries of a young girl documenting the organized terror in Baku, her life as a refugee, and her struggle to find herself, all against the backdrop of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Anna gives a voice to a horrific tragedy little reported in the West, to the Armenian population of Azerbaijan and to the child victims of ethnic cleansing everywhere.” (quoted from the book description)
The printed version is now available for purchase at Amazon.
This is usually what happens when I try to photograph my children together….
Usually, at least one of them will start acting all crazy. These photos show a progression of my crazy, yet photogenic daughter!
(These photos are of my oldest son’s last day of waiting for the school bus to go to Kindergarten. I cannot believe how fast this year has passed!!)
