It's Been a Busy Summer!

By
Wow, can summer be ending already?  I've been back to work at LSS/MSS for two days and I've hardly had my toes in the sand all summer. It's been busy, but all good. PHOTOGRAPHY has been this summer's theme for me. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Fuller Gardens, Pemaquid Lighthouse, Ocean Point, Coppal House Farm Sunflower Festival were allon my radar. Still having fun with my Color Sketch effect on my Nikon d750.






This "I'm not a wedding photographer" had a blast photographing Molly & Bryan Ender's wedding on Sawyer Island in Boothbay, Maine on July 30th. They had the BEST weather of the summer, the most photogenic bridal party, a cannon shoot and a spectacular sunset over the water! It was so much fun that I've booked another wedding in October! :-)
Molly & Bryan's Wedding


I sold cards, postcards and calendars at Ocean Point Inn and had my photos, cards and calendars at the Hampton Arts Network Summer Gallery at Hampton Beach. I also went to Boothbay to do a Family Photo Shoot for the Lunts while their daughters were in town with their families.  Mid-day sun and a beautiful,  active five year old were the challenges of that shoot.  Great practice and so much FUN!   Ha ha, I didn't want to work at the Inn this summer because I didn't want to drive back and forth each week, but I've been to Boothbay four times since June 3rd and will go back Columbus Day weekend to pick up my cards and calendars that didn't sell this season. I always feel like I'm home when I'm at Ocean Point!

Sneak Peek for Kristin & Stephen “Tie the Knot❣️“

By
 Each wedding is unique. Even though we basically start with close to the same photo list there are always individual requests that are special to each couple. I try to bring out the essence & individuality of each couple for their special day❣️ Here is the Sneak Peek for Kristin & Stephen's beautiful wedding day! They'd never been to York so when I said we needed photos at Nubble, Kristin said, "If we have time!"  Ummmmm, NO! We need to make time . . . and we're glad we did!    My 3rd wedding in 3 months and final one of 2022 for me!  Two hearts, one from New Hampshire and one from Newfoundland, were united in a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family members & lots of love at York Harbor Inn in York, Maine when Kristin and Stephen literally “tied the fisherman’s double knot❣️” on July 6, 2022. Read the story of tying the Fisherman's Knot. https://www.weddingpreacherforhire.com/2015/04/the-fisherman-knot.html Second wedding I’ve done w...

Day #8, Mon. 7/9

By
Well I am bound to have one of this days! My friend Eric, who owns and runs 'Evolution 180' in L.A., is a lean, mean (and I mean that in the nicest way) machine. I have to say that he is THE BEST personal trainer I have ever met!  He practices what he preaches. He eats clean for 5 days, fasts for a day and then eats whatever he wants for a day.  So I would have to say that Day #8 was my "eat what I want kind of day." But getting back to Eric. . . Back in February 2011 he came to Boston for the Celtics-Lakers game.  Eric had never been to the Right Coast and it just happened that we were having one of our coldest, snowiest winters EVAH!  He arrived on the red eye and came up to NH to catch a few hours of sleep before I dragged him around Boston. The snow piles in our yard were over his head and his comment was, "Do people live here voluntarily?" I gave him the full Boston experience. We drove to Sullivan Square and took The T into Boston. We went ...

Coming in 2017! "Sports Fans in Training"

By
So, Christmas is over and "the Dads" have received their surprise gifts from their little girls. So it's time for the big announcement!  I'm introducing my new photography line,  "Sports Fans in Training!"  How did this idea originate?  Two friends who have HUGE Celtic Fan husbands, asked me to photograph their daughters in Celtics gear as a Christmas present. The light bulb went off and I thought "What a GREAT idea!"  It's a unique, customized concept that I really haven't seen marketed and there are so many New England sports fans here in NH. And voila, the idea for "Sports Fans in Training" was born! The possibilities are unlimited: solo shots, group shots, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Skating, Gymnastics, Lacrosse, high school, college, Pro!  Can't wait to see how it develops from here! The possibilities are endless! Coming in 2017! "Sports Fans in Training!" Have your child or children ...
