Due to its popularity I am extending the Proof Book Special through December 31, 2007: Book a wedding or special event and receive an additional 120 images in your proof book (a $60 value).

New for the fall: Now through December 31, 2007, sign up for an album package and receive an extra ten (10) images in your album (a $200 value).

As always, you can combine specials. Make sure to check my website for other offers, too.

To receive these deals you must mention them on your contract (or else I'll forget!).

I'm Back

I can't believe I returned from Texas -- where it was in the 90's -- to Maine where it was almost 90 degrees! Now that's global warming at it's best/worst. I'm working hard on getting all of my weddings up on Pictage. It's taking a bit longer because I went away and for that I apologize for the delay. I'll be working non stop these next few weeks to catch up. Thanks for your patience.

OK Now It's Fixed

My email was not working at all until just about an hour ago. Sorry for the confusion! Please resend any messages that were returned to you. I apologize for the difficulty in reaching me while I'm out of town.

Problem Solved

Website and email should be back up shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Website problems

I'm attempting to get to the bottom of why my website appears to be down. Please bear with me as I deal with the problem. It's also effecting my email so if you need to reach me give me a call on my mobile.

The Woodlands

Falmouth, Maine

Leslie and Jamie had a perfect summer afternoon for a wedding -- especially if by perfect you mean hot. But we all persevered and sweated our way through the group photos. This was a rowdy group which is just how I like 'em! Can't wait for everyone to see the rest of the photos, but because I'm taking the rest of the week off you're going to have to -- sorry!!! Here's a whole bunch to help you wait.

A Break

I am off Tuesday evening for a much needed mini-vacation. I have been pushing out the work as fast as I can, but it's time for me to take a break and recover for the summer of shooting. Everyone who is waiting for their online galleries please be patient. I promise that getting your wedding photos to you is a priority. But if I don't get away for just a couple of days I think I may go batty. I'll be checking emails and answering calls (you can reach me on my mobile) while I'm away and will be back at my desk the following Tuesday morning. Up next when I return is Leslie and Jamie. Then it's on to Jenna and David, Rachel and Alan, and finally Margie and John. Thanks again for a great summer!

Paws in the Park a Success

This year's Paws in the Park event was a resounding success. After last year's dreary weather and unsightly under-construction park pond, I wasn't exactly looking forward to dragging my tired self out of bed for it. But Sunday was a beautiful day, and it was great to see everyone come out to support the Animal Refuge League.

Pictage Gallery

Rachel and Kevin's gallery is up on Pictage. I didn't want to delay making it available to them which is why I never added any more images from their wedding to the blog. Sorry! The images will be available to their friends and family just as soon as they release the gallery. You can sign up for notification of the gallery's release by going to http://www.pictage.com/282902.

See You Sunday!

I'll be volunteering my photography services on Sunday at the annual Paws in the Park event in Portland. As you may recall, I did this last year. Hopefully some of the great dogs currently up for adoption will be there for you to meet. Come say hello to me if you are there -- I'll be the tired (I have a wedding Saturday night) pregnant lady with the camera.

FYI the ARL's website hasn't been updated lately because the staff is now splitting their time caring for the over 200 animals seized in Buxton and their regular jobs at the shelter in Westbrook. I was at the ARL Monday for my weekly dog walking session, and there are a bunch of great dogs and cats and other critters. If you are looking for a friend stop in and see who's waiting for you (and give a treat to my buddy, Chance).

August 18, 2007

Rachel and Kevin were married a couple of weeks ago on a perfect Maine summer day. They are both teachers at the Hyde School where they had their wedding reception. We had an engagement session earlier in the summer and I think it paid off because they were both so comfortable in front of the camera that it almost made my job easy! They have been super patient about seeing their wedding photos, and I didn't want to make them wait any longer. I promise to add more images soon!

Meredith and Ryan

Their Pictage online proof gallery is now available at www.pictage.com/282901. You need the event key to access the images so please contact me or the bride and groom for that information.

Emma

Emma didn't quite know what to make of me and my big camera, but after a while -- and a snack and diaper change -- she got used to me. The lighting wasn't great, but I think we captured some of her sweetest expressions and features. It's going to be fun seeing how different she will be in three months and then at one year when I photographer her two more times as part of the Baby Steps portrait package.

I'm So Honored

J. Sandifer selected one of the images posted here from Meredith and Ryan's wedding for his blog. Thanks, J, for checking out my blog and sharing my work with all of your loyal readers!

Hard at Work

Most people go to an office full of hard-working coworkers. Here's a typical shot of mine hogging my workspace:

The Lawnmere Inn

Southport, Maine

Congratulations to Meredith and Ryan! They had a beautiful wedding day. The weather was perfection, and everyone had such a great time celebrating with the bride and groom. I had a really hard time selecting just a couple of images for this sneak peek. I left a lot of faves out, so make sure your pre-register to see the online proofs at Pictage!

Baby Sydney

One look at this wee little baby and we'll all start wanting one of our own! She's all big blue eyes and tiny hands and feet.

Spring Hill Lodge

South Berwick, Maine

About two hours before their wedding ceremony the skies opened up and unleashed a most amazing thunderstorm. Trees were bowing down to the ground and wind was whipping the torrential rain and soaking everything. Things did not look so good for this outdoor wedding ceremony. But the clouds cleared just in time to dry off the chairs and get this adorable couple married. There wasn't a dry eye in the audience as we witnessed their personal vows. Then it was time to celebrate! Kristina did an amazing job decorating the reception room -- I think she could go into business as a wedding consultant! I know that they are anxious to see the photos, so here's a little sneak peek.

Congratulations, Kristina and Jim!
