I'm Happiest with Camera in Hand!

By

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life!


For 37 years I've been doing what I love, teaching children and adults.  Now I'm preparing for the next chapter of my life, RETIREMENT and taking photos & creating art.  Spring and summer have been busy, but oh what fun!

I started off with a Spring Apple Blossom Family Photo Shoot for the Croeber family. The blossoms had passed, but I was able to perform some magic with some apple blossom photos I had taken a week before!  Always up for a challenge!

 


Later in May I was surrounded by love and cuteness when I photographed Katelyn, Kevin & 10-week old baby Jayden.  We had a beautiful, yet breezy day to take outdoor photos at North Hampton State Beach and Plaice Cove before moving indoors.  I'm so in love with these images!



 




I'm convinced the flowers loved our long, cold winter. From lupine to poppies to peonies and roses, they have been nothing less than SPLENDID!  They must have been very cozy, snuggled up underground, insulated by a blanket of snow. They sure make some pretty new photo cards!


  


Miss Mia was the BEST model I could have asked for while photographing my marketing photos for my new Hoopla Mini Sessions that I'll be offering soon. The hoop drew some interesting, positive comments from beach walkers and the results are better than I could have imagined. Can't wait to offer some seasonal Hoopla sessions with different colors and decor on the hoop. And I had to get a shot with Mia and her mom, Katie!






I had the honor of celebrating 30 years of LOVE with Pam & Ed McDonough and some of their closest family & friends.  I was a bridesmaid in their wedding, Godmother to their second born child, Patrick and I treasure the friendship bond I have with them.  Katie did a fabulous job organizing the party and Seamus's "Happy Anniversary Balloon" was perfect! Their speeches were full of love! A room full of Family, Friends & Food led to a night of Fun! Cheers to 30 years filled with LOVE! 







 



My latest and first Maternity session was early yesterday morning. It was such a pleasure photographing Camila & Nic at North Beach and the Rye cairns. They were both glowing although Nic might say it was sweat from the morning sun! It's going to be hard to choose favorites from this shoot! Baby-to-be Andreas, who will be coming into this world later this month, is one lucky little guy to be getting Camila & Nic for parents and my colleague, Cinda Patrie as his grandma, too! So much love! 






 






I've only been on vacation from school a little less than 2 weeks, but have been enjoying it so far.  I leave on Sunday for a 2-week adventure, travelling from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth Nova Scotia via Lubec (for a 5-day New England Photo Workshops/Hunt Photo "Bold Coast" photo workshop), St. John, New Brunswick where I want to see those 52-foot tides, Prince Edward Island for a little beach time, Halifax, Lunenburg and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia with the final leg on the ferry from Yarmouth, NS to Portland, Maine.  I've never been beyond bar Harbor so I am looking forward to some new scenery and lots of great new photos! I'll have lots of editing to do when I get home on July 30th!

I have been contacted by a local restaurants to hang my photos in their establishment so I will be checking that out before I head Downeast. 

Once I get back I have a family photo shoot and some Senior Portraits to do before heading back to school August 16th for what could be my final year before retirement. We'll see!

There's still time to book your Senior Portrait sessions, family photos, or events for August. Send me an email or give me a call!

Remember, "All who wander are not lost!" I'll check in from the road!

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

By
Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10.  I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him .  I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged.  I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-)  I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There w...

Birthday Blog

By
On April 19, 2022 a t 2:35 pm, the exact time of my birth 68 years later, I was at my very favorite place, Pemaquid Lighthouse! It worked out perfectly; I had planned on photographing sunrise, but it was raining so I went later in the day.  THIS is 68! I left on my solo secret birthday road trip on Monday April 18th. I made a pit stop at the Yarmouth Information Center to pick up some brochures. A guy in the parking lot saw my CELTS-6 license plate and Celtics hat and started talking about how great Sunday’s game was! :-) Once a year, I always like to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I took a side trip to Land’s End on Bailey Island. Just sorry I never made it there before my friend, Dan Millar, passed away. I want to go back for photos of The Giant Stairs, Lookout Point, Cribstone Bridge and the little lobster shack in Mackerel Cove when it’s a little warmer.  When I lived in Maine I would go to Tortola in April. Now I go from NH to Maine!  LoL     I arrived...

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 ...
