Winter Wonderland!

“Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.”   ~Henry David Thoreau

"Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon" ~ Winnie the Pooh

The winds have welcomed you with softness,

The sun has greeted you with it's warm hands,
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And set you back gently into
The loving arms of Mother Earth.

— Anon, known as 'The Baloonists Prayer

Sweet Baby J! {{Western Maine Baby Photographer}}

There's something so amazing about this baby girl. Sweet, serene, so very alert to everything you're doing. She was an absolute dream to photograph and it was so fun just to lay in the grass with baby and mama in the warm sunny weather and take photos of this little darling baby girl. Thanks so much Carla for sharing her with me! You have a gorgeous girl!

Remember when?...

The W Family! {{ Western Maine Family Photographer }}

I just never know what to expect when I meet people for their portraits. Will they be nervous, or excited or will they just plain not want to be there? It's always in my mind as I arrive to the location. This family was of the excited variety, which is very nice! They were all such good sports and willing subjects which made the session a breeze. And I had no idea they had a little model in their midst! Which one you ask? I think you can figure it out yourself- take a look...

Did you find the model in there?  Thanks Amber for sharing your gorgeous family with me!!

Betsy and David

I have to say that these two were such a blast to photograph! Betsy wanted pictures to show how strong their love was and that life and love goes on (quite marvelously in their case!) once the kids are grown. Their  affection and silliness and comfort with each other was the motivation for this shoot, and what a wonderful muse they are!

David spun and knitted her this gorgeous shawl! 

A Gorgeous Family-

My lovely sister-in law and her beautiful family were in town and we got together and shot their photos. It was a really beautiful day and the kids were such troopers tromping along to different spots. Thanks so much for a great time guys!

A Family in Fairy Places

It was a gorgeous morning Saturday when I went to my good friend Tirzah's house to do their annual family portraits. They have this beautiful little enchanted path at the edge of their yard that loops around a little pond. On Saturday everything was SO green, it was almost like a rain forest!

I had lots of fun with them and got some dreamy photos. Thanks guys!

Thanks for stopping by!
