One of the great things about Maine is that a LOT of people come and vacation here throughout the summer… it is “Vacationland” afterall!
Each year we shoot lots of family sessions in the late summer/early fall — we only shoot these sessions until November and we do them all outside on location. There are so many incredible spots to shoot in Maine and we love to explore and find them! Recently we shot a family who vacations at the same house on the beach every year with a group of their friends. They were so much fun to work with and their daughters are so cute (most of the shots here are totally candid, they weren’t particularly all that interested in sitting still for us, but that makes for great shots)!
After we shot this session I actually went to NYC for a week to visit and shoot some fashion work (more on that later). While I was there my aunt showed me a DVD she made for my other aunt’s recent birthday as a surprise for her. It was filled with photos from throughout her life and some amazing portraits, candid, etc that was very powerful. I also thought back to when I was growing up how my mom had a frame wall in our living room of black and white family portraits from when I was a baby, with my grandmother who passed away when I was 9. I loved that wall of photos. Things have changed since digital has become so popular–instead of making prints or getting albums now a lot of people are satisfied with some files on their computer or to post on Facebook. This is cool and great for sharing with others, but can’t replace how powerful a print can be, and being able to pass those prints or albums down from generation to generation.
On another note, please contact us if you’re local or visiting and want to plan a fun family session. Our sessions are a mix of candid and group portraits. We work with you in advance to plan location, clothing, etc. Our schedule tends to book up very quickly so please book early (we are available mornings and evenings during the week and have very limited weekend availability Aug-Nov.)
