Couple Shoots

Are not like working... I feel like I am cheating. These images may actually speak for themselves. Its hard to find a location in Maine that I don't like... or any New England town for that matter, but this one is a gem... and pretty well hidden :)
I'm always looking for private (but public of course) beaches and textures walls with pops of color.
The heat gave us a break long enough to do a great shoot... but it will be back next week we've been told. Just in time for the senior shoots! It's better that way, the beach is always better when it's warm out. Nobody likes to get in the water when it's cold right?

Liv

Getting in as much test shooting as we can before August when senior portraits, weddings, and family beach shoots happen all at once :) Today we worked with Liv, a wonderful model (she's just 16 but by god the girl knows what she is doing) who certainly has a great future ahead of her. She drove 6 hours with her dad from CT and back all in one day just for us to shoot her. Her portfolio is full now! We each shot about 5 gigs (at least 900 photos) in about 2 hours! 6 clothing changes, 3 hair changes and countless poses later... it was an amazing shoot.
Here's to you future success Liv! You have a great future in modeling should you choose to go with it!

JenMari

Gorgeous girl! I have been dying to photograph a red head for a while now and this girl was perfect :)
Great model and a great sport sitting in the grass getting bit by the skeeters. Nothing like a summer night near the water in Maine! I hope she is happy with the results! I know we were!

Sea Glass Re-Launch!

We redesigned Sea Glass AGAIN. But this one is a keeper. We needed a way to separate our fashion and beauty work from our weddings and family stuff so we did the site over and used Lightroom to create the Web Galleries... easy easy stuff! Now to work on my mom's site :)

summer love

There is nothing like a warm sunset for engagement sessions on the beach in New England. Last night's weather was perfect.. great clouds, great light. But in New England no matter what time of year we can have some amazing drama in the sky. Its either raining, windy, sunny... doesn't matter... even snow can make for an amazing backdrop. As far as I am concerned you have to embrace the weather here... work with what you have... if its raining... go moody... if its sunny... go beachy. We try not to let the weather bring us down... because you have to work with what you have.
But last night was my favorite kinda night :)

halt

Sometimes our bodies make us stop cold. It happened to me last year when I had several surgeries to remove the cancer from my body... and now this year because I somehow caught pneumonia. It started with a simple virus... just a cold that I actually thought was allergies. Went to the doctor and found out it was a number of things!
1. sinus infection
2. ear infection
3. pneumonia in my right lung
4. bronchitis
All at once! The doc said I "couldn't be much sicker". So a week later and a bottle of antibiotics and I am starting to finally feel better. I finally got my voice back... I thought I would sound like Scarlett Johansen forever... which I wouldn't mind so much :)
But I haven't posted in so long so I thought I would explain why.
So I guess the lesson (one I should know by heart by now) is to listen to your body and take a break from the world when you need it. Sleep in once in a while, drink lots of OJ during flu season. And most of all... LISTEN to your intuition and your inner you :)
