calendar shoots booked for January

We have had such an incredible response for the calendar and portrait shoot for our Intimate portraits and we are booked. I have one spot left the first weekend of February. Thank you to everyone who inquired and booked an appointment. It has been a really fun promotion and we will be doing it again in the early summer. This time it will be a location promotion. It may be at your home or on the beach or at a secret location. Details in the spring. If anyone has any great location ideas, give me a call. 207-562-9900.

Maine PPA Convention this month

I am preparing my seven 16x20 prints for competition for this month. I am very excited and anxious to see how the judges like my work. My portfolio this year is one landscape, one fine art, and the rest are portraits. Some are environmental portraits, and some are traditional portraits. We will see what the judges think.
It is always a heart pounding moment when you see your print come before the judges and they talk about what they do and don't like about it. You learn so much about your work from them. All the judges are trained and are masters in the art of photography. It's hard to hear negative comments but you grow from it and become a better photographer because of it. You just need to be thick skinned and learn from the comments. They will give you one on one time to talk about your work in depth. I hope to take advantage of that service this year. Being a board member and 1st Vice President takes up a lot of time, but I will do my best to take time for a personal critique.
If I win any awards this year, I will post them asap. Wish me luck.

Peyton turns 6 months old

With Peyton turning 6 months her mom wanted to capture this milestone with professional portraits of her little one. Two of my vintage backdrops came in and it was perfect timing. I love the look of these beautiful textured pieces. Peyton looks so cute with her incredible blue eyes. Sabrina wanted a composite of Peyton's many faces. We soon discovered that she loves to have her mouth open a lot, but she is still so very sweet. The portraits of Peyton were not altered at all, they went from camera to blog. She didn't need any enhancement.


I love my new drops and can't wait for the rest.
