Chasing Chase
Chase came to see me again recently. This time in celebration of his first birthday. He is an energetic, happy little guy and I have allot of fun working with him! It's so much fun to watch kids grow with each session. Here are a couple of shots from this session.

Wonderful Wedding Women!
I had a great time attending the first luncheon networking session of a group of maine women wedding photographers.
I have spoken to many of them on the phone, admired work by several of them, and shared tips with a few others over the past several years but we had never all gathered together in one place at one time...probably because most of us are scattered around the state in opposite directions every weekend.
It was also nice to meet some of the newer, up and coming ladies and to hear the stories about what brought everyone into the business. Ladies, it was a pleasure meeting all of you! I am looking forward to doing it again.
Here is a photo that was taken for us by our waiter...he did pretty good I think....considering the amount of incredible talent that was sitting in that room!

Rock On Tracey!!
Well "Jazz On" is probably more like it. Tracey MacLean came to me over a year ago to help her create the cover photo for her first solo CD.
Also in that year I was taking images, editing images, listening to Tracey sing and tell me about herself as a person, her journey to this point in her life. I knew that the image for the cover of her CD needed to show the passion she has for her talent, the emotion she adds from someplace deep within, and it need to be as colorful and fun (and REAL) as she is.
So I did what I do with everyone that comes into my studio...I shot and I shot and we talked and I shot some more and we talked again...then I took what we had shot, listened to Tracey and what she liked and didn't like, what she wanted to portray to her audience, and imagined myself in the cd store looking through cds (ok so that part was unique to this session) and what I would I need to see to know all of that.
Tracey and I met several times and I showed her my vision with the help of Photoshop and viola! Not only has Tracey used this image as her cover but some of these others may be found inside and on the back.
She sings often at the Solo Bistro in Bath, stop in and check her out! If you are interested in her cd you can find it at the Brunswick Borders or by going to http://www.traceymaclean.com/
I hope to have her music playing on my website soon...so you can get a little taste that way.
Thanks Tracey for allowing me to be a part of such an exciting step in your career.
In that year I have come to know that this lady is not only one of the most amazing Jazz singers this state has seen but she is as equally an amazing person. I am also happy to say that over this past year Tracey went from being a stranger to a client and then to someone I call my friend.

Can't Decide?? No Problem!
Even though I offer the Ala Carte so that you don't have to pick just one pose for all of your photos...sometimes wall space becomes an issue or you want to put a bunch of your favorites all on display and don't want a large photo of them all side by side....
Almost all of my clients have told me the only bad thing about coming to me is there are too many great shots to choose from....well if that's my biggest flaw, then I am OK with that!
I am offering composites so you can create an 8x10 or 11x14 (or larger) of your favorite images.
This senior and her mom came in last week and had had a very hard time deciding on which poses to order...we created this image together so she can have all of her favorites in one place and still order other poses to give to family and friends.
This is available for any session or combining from several sessions (such as a maternity then newborn, 3 month etc)
Ask me about creating one for you today!
