Balloons & Blossoms- Lewiston Auburn Childrens Photographer

365 days. One year. Warnings about how fast time flies by are passed out like candy during pregnancy and when little ones arrive. Turns out they are right. Last January, I photographed Bre's maternity session. In those short months, I have photographed this amazing little girl five times. She has grown and changed so much in that short time and this family has as well. I have loved every single  moment of it. Seeing her taking a few tentative steps already reminds me just how quick it passes by!

We spent a recent rainy morning in the studio for Lyla's one year cake smash. She was more interested in the balloons at first, but soon got into her beautiful pink cake!
She wasn't crazy about the taste of the cake but really enjoyed painting with the frosting!


The weather cooperated with us the next weekend as the apple trees bloomed. We spend some time exploring the orchard at Willow Pond Farm looking at the blooms, the pond and the flowers. Lyla is curious about everything- touching, talking and in some cases tasting everything!

Love this one of Lyla and her mom! Bre, you are gorgeous!


This last shot was just before Lyla decided that dandelions must be for eating!

Tyler, Bre and Lyla, I am honored to have been able to watch and document this past year of your life! Watching you evolve as a family and Lyla grow into such a sweet, bright, independent little girl has been so much fun! I will have your full gallery for you soon!!!

Brothers & Babies- Auburn Maine Newborn Family Photographer

They chose to be surprised. For them, it wasn't about pink or blue, boy or girl. It was about knowing whoever this little person was, he or she was the part of their family who was meant to be. When it was time, the baby arrived, healthy and happy, and a perfect fit to their family. And he happened to be a boy. 

Meet Damian at two weeks old.  
I was so excited when Amy contacted me to photograph their newly expanded family! We had so much fun last summer when we explored the Bates campus together for their family pictures. To meet Damian for the first time and catch this smile was just priceless!

Damian is just perfection with his sweet personality, amazing little lips and so much hair! He was a champion sleeper as well while I moved him all over the place!


Julian happens to be the awesomest big brother ever created. That and he is way too much fun to play with and kicks a mean soccer ball!

Love this!
Amy and Estevan, thank you so much for inviting me to photograph your growing family! I had such a great time, and honestly, you have two simply amazing boys! I will have your full gallery for you to view shortly!

Baby Dolls & Cereal Puffs- Lewiston Maine Children's Photographer

 Just a couple of months makes all of the difference- She can sit, she is on the verge of crawling, she babbles, she is shy when faced with new things, and she loves her cereal puffs. But somethings are still the same. She is beautiful, sweet, has a smile that would melt an iceberg, loves her mom and dad and she is totally gaa-gaa for her big brother.

Meet Hannah at 8 months.


 That awesome big brother also let me photograph him. He is cute beyond words, an excellent dancer and knows his animal sounds better than any two year old in the history of the world!

Thank you Pat and Amanda for coming out to enjoy a gorgeous spring day with me! You have some amazing kids and I can't wait until our next one!

John Deere & Red Sox- Lewiston Maine Newborn Photographer

Nine months of waiting, dreaming, hoping, praying, buying, and preparing feels like an eternity. Then suddenly, the switched is flipped. These amazing little people somehow manage to make hours bouncing, snuggling, feeding, changing, and, hopefully, sleeping disappear. Days run together and suddenly weeks have passed by in a blink. But, even in those sleepless hours, we wouldn't trade them for anything. 

Meet Dominic at (just shy of) four weeks old. 






Ok these boots? Cutest thing ever!


Amber & John, thank you so much for sharing Dominic with me! It was great to spend the time with you and he is just perfectly amazing! I can't wait to show you the rest shortly in your full gallery!

Poetry, Chocolate & Laughter- Portland Maine Photographer

Words.  They have the power to wound or the power to save. They have the ability to make us laugh and make us cry. They can guide us in difficult times and escape us in excitement.  Robin knew from an early age words were where her heart could be found. She followed her passion and her words to become a writer, editor and poet. 

Robin found me via another Maine author, telling me she is terribly un-photogenic  but she was in the market for some headshots.  Robin, it gives me great pleasure to tell you that you are wrong. You are beautiful!





When I texted Robin to let her know that her first sneak peek was up on Facebook, she told me her face was sore from all of the time we spent laughing. We really had a blast people watching, dodging pedestrians and exploring together.  Be sure to check out Robin's website HERE to find out about upcoming work and appearances!

If you are considering new photos for your job and passion, lets work together to capture your brand and personality! Please call me at 207-522-9742 to schedule your session.
