Prelude to trash the dress

I did a photo shoot late this afternoon with my daughter Jessica. Yvonne, my friend and assistant came along to help and shoot some shots herself. It was chilly but fun. I hope Jessica had fun and likes the shots. We will be doing a "Trash the Dress" session when the weather warms up. The water is a little cold right now. "Mess the dress" is when you get a chance to mess the dress a bit in the water, in the grass, lay on the beach, and take shots you wouldn't ordinarily get a chance to do on the wedding day. The ceremony is over so get dirty and have fun.

My Dog, LEON

Leon is part husky and part german pointer. We rescued him from the Conway New Hampsire shelter a year and a half ago. I had a no show for a portrait session. I had the studio all set up, the lights were all metered so I grabbed my dog Leon for a photo shoot. He wasn't all that into it, but he warmed up a bit and I got a few good shots. He got a few good treats.

wedding 101 class

In Early May I taught a Wedding 101 class for 9 Maine photographers. I was a wonderful day. It was very overwhelming for all of us. They were such good sports, the day was packed full of valuable information, models, and a church photo shoot. We were all exhausted, in a good way. view a few of the photos from that days shoot. ENJOY!

post cards

I just sent out my senior postcards to announce appointment availability. I have had a great response. I sent them out on friday, by Monday I have had 4 appointments made by 4p.m. and it's only May! I am excited for this years senior season. I have scouted so many new and funky spots. I still love some of my classic favorites, but some of these new spots are incredible. Having appointments this early in the season has allowed me to relax and get more creative. In past seasons it seems everyone waits until the last minute. This is hard because shooting 3 seniors a day with a deadline breathing down your neck can cramp the artistic side of yourself. I have a great feeling that this season will be one of the best to date.
Call early and save your spot before it's so late 562-9900!
