Think Spring!
There’s a spring in my step because while it’s only February in Maine, there’s almost no snow (sorry to my sourthern friends) and I can see green grass. It’s likely we’ll get hammered in April, but I don’t care. I’m ready for spring!
With that in mind, there are a couple of [...]

It’s Saturday morning and I’m prepping for a business portrait client. We’re using the studio because it’s frigid outside, but I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about my approach to portraits.
I am a documentary photographer which means I usually come to you or we utilize the beautiful backdrop of mother nature [...]
Can you believe it’s already Feb. 1? I just realized it today and I can’t beleive we’re one month in already!
As you’ve probably noticed, the blog and Web site both have new looks! I had my Web site redesigned by Nikki Shroeher of Third Shift Designs and when she redid the site, she brought the [...]
My first wedding of the late spring/early summer was on May 30. Nicole and Corry tied the knot at Messiah Baptist Church in Bangor. Despite a brief thundershower, the couple said their vows in front of an intimate gathering of family and friends.
They also decided to do the majority of their group shots (but not [...]
May has been a busy month.
I had my gall bladder removed mid-month and I’m feeling great! My parents are moving to Bangor to retire. My childhood home is now sold. And we’re in the process of prepping the garden for its first planting in years.
Photography wise, May has been a month full of babies!
I had [...]
Congrats Tristine and Barry!

In February, I had the [...]
Spring is here!
There’s no more glorious time of year than spring. In Maine, mud season usually precedes dry ground and planting. In fact, Mainer’s refer to “mud season” as the fifth season. But it’s not muddy everywhere. In fact, there are flowers blooming by my home’s foundation! The little purple crocuses pictured above are just [...]

I did my first wedding on February 28 (not the pictures from above) and it was an intimate, beautiful ceremony. It reminded me how much emphasis is put on the planning and not the actual marriage.
Don’t get me wrong. Weddings are fun to plan and even more fun to attend (especially when there are lots [...]
Spring is fast approaching even though we can’t see the green ground yet! And while I have the studio, I love doing outdoor photos.
Now is a great time to look ahead and start planning for those photo album updates! May is usually when the buds start blooming (and before the bugs start buzzing) and it’s [...]
Really seeing: that’s the point
What is it about capturing a brief moment of someone’s life in a still frame? For me, it’s about really seeing my subjects — be they animal, human, or nature. And I think that’s what the allure is… it’s a chance to make a memory of a moment in time that [...]
