Happy New Year!

Have been very busy this holiday season editing and printing photos for friends and family for xmas! Check out a few of them on my blog.....I recently learned the "collage" technique of printing as well which make beautiful postcard prints. The clarity of the photos are fantastic because they are condensed from such large files....no blur! Found some great props on ebay for portraits, explored some new sites for equipment and got some helpful tips from a fellow photographer. Planning the New Year Photo Ops!

First Family Sitting....

Check out my blog for the family sitting of the Young family! I think the photos came out great, original, nice editing...would appreciate any feedback you can give me! I have been trying to keep my ideas unique!

Fall Photos Posted!

Please check out the new photos I have posted from my recent trip to Vermont! I highly recommend the journey, beautiful unique photo opportunities from the shoreline, to the birch filled forest to the farmlands. Enjoy! Looking for some places to take some winter family photos. Please let me know if you are aware of any covered bridges, old buildings, unique streetwalks, train trussels or other landmarks that would make a great addition to a photo session!

Jay Peak, Vermont Roadtrip

I recently returned from a hockey tournament in Jay Peak, Vermont. I took the opportunity to visit some of the lush countryside, as well as the local town of Newport, to shoot some fall pictures. I am very anxious to share these on my blog! I have some great shots of the mountains, the old style farms with the traditional red barn and silos...foliage, and a unique shot of a "lone boat." Please check back periodically to see new posts!

Boston Traveling Pants

I took this photo at the New England Aquarium in Boston a couple of years ago on a field trip with my son's classroom. We spent the day exploring Quincy Market, walked the Freedom Trail and visited other historical sites such as the cemetary where Paul Revere and John Hancock rest. Boston is an excellent location to shoot photos...there are so many exciting things to see! Scroll down to view more photos of Boston!

Have been busy editing photos...haven't had a chance to post in awhile. This pic is a perfect fall picure. I should have toned down the brightness of the clouds but I like the looks so much better of a photo with less manipulation....Finished a beautiful family shoot on Kenduskeag Stream...the lighting was perfect! Stay tuned for pictures of the Young family!

Today I decided to make a go of turning my hobby into a career. I absolutely love to see the joy in someones face when they see the photo I have taken for them. It is a priceless gift to be able to give someone a print of a moment in time they can always treasure and share. Please, if you see this blog, share it with everyone you know! Check it frequently for new photos as I will be adding every week. The goal of my photos is to be original, take photos in a different light, in a unique format and of unsuspecting subjects. I am NOT the traditional pose photographer.....Enjoy!

Rainy Days

Rain isn't helping with business! Had to cancel the "Princess and the Tortoise" photoshoot because of the forecast...hope to reschedule soon! Keep checking my blog for some summer photos I have been working on....Have tons of flower photos from all over Maine. Enjoy!

Still trying to find unique places for fall pictures! Found a railroad track off the beaten path where a graffiti covered train sits most days...Thank you Tammy for the heads up! Finishing up my first "job" this week...Harry Potter...printed, matted and framed! Hoping future sittings are as successful as this one!

Fall Photo Sessions Booking Fast!

I am so happy with all of the positive feedback from my blog! I have received so many emails from folks wanting to set up a photo shoot! I do not take traditional photos! I like to make each one as uniques as possible, especially with portraits. I have not yet established a fee for sittings...I really want the experience right now. If you have a unique idea for a photoshoot, let me know and we will try to work something out! Thank you for all of your support, looking forward to some great work!

Autumn Ride

Fall is one of the prettiest seasons in Maine...Gearing up for some photo trips to document the colors of Autumn, the festivals of Fall and the whimsical characteristics of the season. Finding unique photo opportunities in unpredictable places is the fun of the ride...look for haywagons, wagon wheels, chase the fog, take in reflections on the water and find that one picture you just love! Some places to try: Bath, Stonington, Lincolnville, Millinocket, Cornish, Rumford. Keep checking the blog for new photos! I have a few bookings for family portraits, something new for me, and I would appreciate any feedback! Happy Fall!

Fort Knox

Photo shoot today at the Fort was beautiful, overcast day made for great lighting. What a gorgeous place to take photos! Foliage was peaking, grass is still green, mixed with the "castle-like" fort...I posted a preview but cannot say who the subject is....its a suprise!!! Scroll down and enjoy...

Positive Feedback

So I have received quite a bit of feedback, mostly positive, some corrections. Wanted to say that the photos are named from me personally not for their proper name. For instance, "Paper Poppies" was named because the appearance of the detail of the reknowned glass poppies at the Bellagio reminded me of paper because they presented so fragile and delicate. Thank you to Janet, who is familiar with this work of art!

I did it!

I figured out that late night is not a good time to try and upload pictures....earlier in the day worked much better! I am still editing my blog so beware of changes. I did manage to post some pictures to give you a preview of what is to come. I have a story for each so keep checking back! Any feedback is welcome, from suggestions, to constructive criticism on my work. (Please be kind, I am an entrepreneur!) Stay tuned.....

Virgin Post

First time blogger....thought it would be a great idea to share some photos with people. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload my photos from my pc....stay tuned...you won't be disappointed!
