I love houses. My dad is a real estate agent here in Mt. Washington Valley and has been for my whole life. My mom loves old houses and I guess its just in my blood because I love HOUSES. I spend hours searching online looking at houses for sale just to see what’s out there….
I am so lucky!!!! I attended Justin & Mary’s Spread The Love Tour yesterday @ Stacy Kane’s studio in Scarborough ME. WHAT A BLAST! I even was privileged enough to have dinner with Justin and Mary after the workshop at Four Street in Portland- YUM! Unfortunately I have a million things to do today and…
What a whirl-wind week!!! As my partner in crime for the week put it: Vegas is Disney World for adults. I am so excited to start applying all my new ideas to my blog and website- this might take a while because there are just so many ideas. Debbie and I had a great time…
I am off to Boston today to spend the day with my best friend romping around my former home city. Who knows where the night will end but I’m sure to enjoy a few good martinis and some tasty food before the day is over. Sunday afternoon Deborah Parker and I are headed to Vegas…
I’ve been fighting the flu for a few days now- and I finally feel like I might have a shot at winning this battle! Spending a few days at home relaxing has been nice I just wish I wasn’t going through 6 boxes of tissues and feeling like I got hit by a bus at…
Diane Arbus put her love for photography into the perfect words: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies”. I say bring on the cookies and while I am stuffing my face with sugary goodness I am also striving to capture the emotion, moments and love that is happening right in front of my lens.
I am a wife (newly wed!!!), a doggy momma and 6 feet tall. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but have found myself warming up to the new trend of leggings- almost as comfortable as yoga pants yet acceptable to be seen in public wearing. I love to travel and can't wait to get back to Scotland where my husband, Silas, and I spent our honeymoon. I love people and I love to talk. I hate to write, I'm a terrible speller (thank goodness for spell check). I am a wanna-be foodie and wineo.
I'm a pretty easy going person and I think that aspect of my personality really comes through in my style of photography. I'm not a photographer who poses you by coming up and moving your left arm here, your right arm like that, twist your head this way and that... I'm a little more hands off and a little more about you being you in front of the camera. When it comes down to it you are hiring me to capture YOU. Your life, your family, your wedding. The more I can do to make you comfortable and feel like yourself the better. You'll often hear me say things like "snuggle" to my couples or tell the kids to go kick a soccer ball in the yard for family photos.
I want to know you, we can grab a drink or have dinner at a local pub or just walk down the street to my favorite coffee shop but my goal is to get to know you just a little bit better so that when I'm capturing your life, be it your wedding day, engagement photos or family pictures that you are comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with you so that this camera in my hand isn't the main focus of the day. Capturing you and your life is.
So, hears to a joyous life full of love and beautiful art.
