Jen & Kara Drouin...Sisterly Love

Growing up, I only had one brother...we fought like cats and dogs....  Well really I beat him up, and he would do as any "good" man would do, never hit me!  I always wished for a sister.  A sister to share secrets, clothes, laughs and lots of love.  Not that my brother and I don't love each other, but its not like what I have with my two best friends...(You know who you are)...oh and Thank You Giana for letting me borrow your sisters, as my sisters.

Okay, so back to my point.  Yesterday I shot Jen and Kara Drouin.  The day was FREEZING...lots of wind, but these sisters GOT IT DONE!  I believe Jen said "Is this what models go through?"...yes, Jen...we'll call you Elle McPherson....

Here are some of my favorite shots of the day, love you ladies.  You were great to work with! 

11-13-2010 The Fortin Family

It seems that when it rains it pours...in all aspects of my life.  If you know me personally, then you'll get what I mean as far as my love life, but also when it comes to photography.  I've been very fortunate to have a ton of friends that believe in my talents and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful. 

I used to work with Mary Fortin, who is as fun as she is beautiful.  Well anyways, enough about Mare, just kidding love you!  We've stayed in touch, and actually got to do a little boating with them this summer.  Tony and Mary have a 1 year old boy, Grayson.  He has these beautiful blue eyes, just like his father.  They asked me to take the family photos this year, and actually was completely honored to do so.  (Ummm Mary has amazing taste, so I guess that's a bit of a compliment).

I've been asked to shoot many family portraits this fall, and so they were able to double up yesterday, and shoot at Pineland.  Here are some of the photos, although I do have to say, it turned into a Grayson session, more than a family session.  I can't help it, love to photograph kids!

Oh check out Grayson's $hit kickers!  Love a guy with boots :-)

Enjoy!

 

11-13-2010 The Mitsin Ladies Photo Shoot

Years ago, I went up to Pineland Farms in New Glouster for a friend's daughter's 3rd birthday.  I had never been there, so I was pleasantly surprised by the scenery it had.  To me it's been like a secret no one has told until recently.  As a result of that day, I had always wanted to take photos there, so when Jess agreed to this place, I was totally ecstatic!

The weather was gorgeous, not to mention my subjects too!  I have to tell you, I've never met a 5 year old who could pose like a 30 year old.  She's a natural and has a bright future in modeling ahead of her.  Oh and she pouted like one of our mutual friends...she knows who she is... KT...  You've taught Taylor well!

Here are some of the photos from that day. 

11-04-2010 McBride's Pregnancy Photos

My friends, Andrea and Keith McBride were expecting their first child!  I offered to take the pregnancy photos, so off I bounded to Gorham, to their new beautiful house.  In tow, my trusty sidekick...Giana, et al.  (Elliot, Geneve & Sylar too!) 

So we moved some furniture around, and set up the makeshift studio in their bedroom.  Keith couldn't quite understand why we were doing all of this rearranging, but in the following photos he'll soon figure it out.  Oh, not to mention Giana and I remade the bed, and flipped the comforter...   Well anyways, the photos came out beautiful, not to mention Andrea was all belly!  Did I mention I love pregnant women?! 

Congrats to the McBrides  on Tessa Rose!  Oh she arrived Tuesday morning, November 9th.  And she's stunning!  Trust me, that's a huge compliment from me considering some newborns aren't always pretty!

Here are some of the photos....enjoy!

The Rodgers Family Portraits 10-31-2010

Seems its been a while since I posted something, so here goes.

As a referal from a friend, I was booked to shoot the Rodgers family photos.  The kicker was, their oldest son was going to be home from Florida for Halloween weekend, and we had to do it then.  She wanted beach photos with rocks and scenary.  So I met the whole clan out at Higgins Beach, which was great this time of year.  We hit low tide and not a soul around!  Unfortunately, Maine has finally started to feel like fall, and it started on Halloween! 

Here are some of my favorite shots of the session...enjoy!
