2 girls and 1 window

I wanted to experiment with one light source so I grabbed my girls and took a few shots. The shot of them together was studio lights. One main light and a kicker light. All the rest are window light only. No reflectors or bouncing of light.
It was fun and I learned a bit more about light and the structure of the face. I love the shots. I love the soft light source.

Sabrina and Tim in Yarmouth

Tim and Sabrina tied the knot in beautiful Yarmouth. The day was sunny and chilly but the warmth they share as a couple was amazing. they are in love and it showed. They are a little shy, so it took some encouragement for the couple to relax and be themselves. I took every shot with available light, without flash. I was pleased with myself. I love the shots and I had a wonderful time.



























Julie and her pooch

Julie had her session on location only. Her dog is a very important part of her life and brought her for a few shots. We went to her camp at Murray's Cove and took advantage of the sun and water. The shots and Julie are beautiful. The pooch isn't bad either.

Eric, my new friend

Eric is an absolute joy to photograph. He warmed up to me quite quickly. He is a talker so I had to shoot quick. We had a good time and I love the shots.



Back from Professional Photographers on New England Convention

I just got back and what an event. I was there for 4 days. Learning from some of the top photographers in the country. Topics like wedding photojournalism, Art inspired portraits, creative lighting and posing, and the senior experience. It was incredible.
I will be shooting this weekend and posting some of the new ideas I have. I am Busy this week with seniors and sports photos. I will have a Yarmouth wedding to post soon.

I entered competition prints to earn merits towards my master in photography. I earned 2 more merits, I am almost half way there.

Travis The "HAPPY" Fisherman


Travis loves fishing. If he could have fished the entire time we were shooting his senior portraits, he would. He actually caught a fish after we had only been at the pond for about one minute. It was small but he was happy just the same..
