The group shot is all of Sophea's family that joined them on Saturday and took part in a large family portrait session. They were a lot of fun!
And don't you just love that hood on Sophea!! Perfect for a winter wedding in Maine!
I'm sorry for taking so long to post the winners today! I had hoped to take pictures of my husband Dennis and Owen helping me draw the names, but my batteries are dead from yesterdays wedding I shot, Dennis is plowing and this has just been a crazy day!!!
So instead owen drew 4 pictures from a hat for me.
Those pictures below are the ones he drew
CONGRATULATIONS to them all! Please contact me asap so we can set up your session in March!

Keep watching the blog for frequent updates and you never know when I might do another contest!
Happy MARCH! Lets hope that it's true what they say...In like a lion, out like a lamb!!!
Oh now this has been FUN!!! Thank you all for sharing your beautiful faces with me. I have had so much fun collecting the pictuers (although some of you made it hard on me and made ME CHOOSE) I should do this more often becuase it really was fun and some of these images are just priceless!!I'm glad I'm just drawing names and not choosing based on the images...I mean...bathing suits in the snow!!! buckets on heads!! close up black and white go straight to my heart...and crying babies, there's NOTHING BETTER!! I could go on and on about these pictures!!
Thanks again for sharing your "kids" with me. Remember to take LOTS of pictures, they change every day and you can never go back!!!
Be sure to stop by on Saturday to see if you won!!
When L told me she was ok with me sharing these pictures I almost started crying...I love them so much!
This was a Mommy and Me session that I did for L and her daughter. It was wonderful to see them skin to skin and so comfortable with each other. But then when I saw how the images came out, it made me want this for all mothers! The bond we have with our children is special and we should have something unique like this to cherish it! I know I wish I had done something like this with my babies!!
Thank you L for sharing these with us all!
First a three generation picture with L's mom.....another precious memory we should all capture!
Then L and her baby
This one was my favorite!!
And here's a couple of little C
For those who might be interested in this kind of session, please contact me. I'm putting together a special package just for this!
Ok...with this link and the wedding pictures below, I think I'm finally ok with the move to the new blog. I had a hard time letting go of the old one because there was so much of my work there. But I'm reposting the slideshow for those you who might want to see the many captures of 2007 and I'm letting go of the old blog! Onward and upward!! (isn't that the old saying!!)
I hope that you are all checking in frequently. As you can see I'm holding true to my promise of posting more often.
Until next time!!

It has dawned on me that with my old blog gone, there aren't any wedding images currently on my blog. This isn't a good thing for potential brides out there considering hiring me. So I hope all my previous clients won't mind a little blast from the past as I post some of the wedding images from last summer. This is only a sprinkling of what I have on my website, so if you are considering hiring me please be sure to jump over to view my wedding galleries.
Here's a few from the Camden, Maine wedding I did. The ceremony took place at the amphitheater in Camden and the reception was at the Ducktrap Retreat in Lincolnville, Maine.
It was a picture perfect wedding!
This backyard wedding took first prize for having the most "storybook looking" location. They were married in the brides parents backyard under the most enormous and gorgeous weeping willow tree I've ever seen, which was right on the edge of a beautiful hay field. The setting took my breath away when I first got there!
Another fantastically gorgeous backyard wedding! Everything from the flowers to the lobster was picture perfect and so down home Maine but elegantly done! After the ceremony in the bride and grooms back yard we skipped down the road for some beach pictures.
Here's the best man showing off the rings, then his surprise for the groom was how he kept the rings safe for the ceremony...hooked to a rope they used hiking!!
And then another creative ring shot!
The Falmouth Country Club was the gorgeous setting of this wedding that took place at dusk!
Every year I do two official sessions of my boys. One in the summer and one around their birthdays. It's never easy!! Photographing my own kids is soooo much harder then photographing other people's kids..but we struggled through it (I looked like a crazy woman a few times but we made it!!) I wasn't sure if I had gotten anything I would be happy with...I was wrong!
Here's my little men at 2 and almost 5! Click on the images to see them larger
PS...I hope to post their summer session pictures soon!! :0)
