Off to convention

I am heading out to Freeport today for the Maine Professional Photographers Associations annual print competition and convention. We have a great line up of
speakers from all over the country. It will be a fun filled weekend chock full of education and social gatherings.
I will let you know how I do this year! I will post my entries after judging is over.
I am a little nervous, but then again I am always nervous during judging.

Family First

My niece Olivia was at the studio and wanted a few portraits. I haven't taken any portraits of Olivia for years and never alone. It was a first and it was a treat. She has grown into a beautiful young woman. She will be a High School Senior soon and hopefully we can do an extensive shoot at the coast and in her neck of the woods.








Future America's Next Top Model

My niece Grace is so cute. After we did the Holiday shoot as a surprise for her Dad, she was hooked. She called and asked if we could do it again. Grace is obsessed with hats, she loves them and wears them all the time. As soon as she arrived at the studio she was ready for her "Shoot", as she called it. I decided to use just window light this time and work with my new backdrops. She has all the poses down, she gave me many facial expressions. America's Next Top Model is her favorite show, I couldn't tell!
I am sure we will do it again soon.
