Family Portrait at Pineland Farms

 

The gorgeous scenery at Pineland Farms provided the backdrop for the Belcher family portrait.  It was a beautiful Fall day and their littlest addition was in perfect form!!  Just look at those beautiful blue eyes.. what a sweetie!  And, he has an adorable big sister who clearly loves him to pieces... she just loved snuggling him!  We're so thrilled they asked us to photograph this wonderful moment for their family. 

Family Portrait at Migis Lodge

For the second year in a row, I had the pleasure to photograph the Sharfsteins while they vacationed at Migis Lodge this August.  I just love this family!  The two girls rarely sit still for longer than a few moments, so, it's always exciting trying to capture their energy and personality.  I hope you all had a wonderful vacation and I can't wait to see everyone again next year! :)     

I just love the mustache pic!

Family Portrait at Higgins Beach

Higgins Beach is one of the most beautiful spots along the Maine coast and it provided an amazing backdrop for the Haverty family portrait.  Like most of the summer, it was a spectacular beach day and the sunset was no different... wonderful ocean breezes, enthusiastic children and the last rays of daylight in July, made this portrait extra special for us to shoot!

Project Linus

Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with Melodie Provost at the Project Linus Quilt Show in Windham.  The volunteers at Project Linus hold a very special place in my heart.  Their mission is to provide hand-made blankets to children who are seriously ill, suffering from a trauma or otherwise in need of some comfort and security.  Many of the blankets displayed included beautifully written and illustrated children's books and some even included an additional hand-made stuffed animal.  The 'blanketeers' who put so much of their time and energy into sewing, crocheting or assembling these remarkable gifts are truly extraordinary!

For more information on Project Linus and how you can get involved, please visit their website - http://www.projectlinus.org/.  Interested in becoming a 'blanketeer'?  There's a 'Blanket Day' tomorrow, September 13th at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough!

Amy & Nate

Engagement portraits are some of our favorite moments to photograph.  Amy and Nate are no exception!  They were so relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.  Pine Point Beach in Scarborough provided some tremendous relief from the 90 plus temps that day... and, these two seemed to embrace the entire experience!  It was such a fun time.  Heartfelt congratulations to you both on your engagement and we wish you all the best as you plan for your wedding day!!
