Our new blog feature–every Friday check in to see five random photos from us! Some may be from new shoots we’ve done and some from old that we never got a chance to blog.

We are SO excited to finally be able to release images from that Spring 2010 issue of Portland Style Magazine! The magazine is now out on newsstands around Portland (all over downtown!) and if you’re in the area please grab a copy because the images look great printed and there are articles and other resources in there. Since only 5 images are in the magazine we thought we’d show more from the shoot here.

We had three incredible local models (Emily, Inna and Corey) along with the help of our super talented makeup artist (Rebecca) and hairstylist (Asia). Styling is by me (Jess)! The flowers for the shoot were provided by the wonderful and talented Judy at Flora Fauna. Clothing is from local shops Chantal and McKenzie Tribe. We cannot thank everyone involved enough!  And wait until you see what we have planned for the summer issue!

ps: we’re not going to be that company that spams you repeatedly to join our Facebook page, but if you’re interested we post news, specials, photos and more there! Thanks for the support!

I had a great shoot with E today to start building a portfolio with her… this was her first professional shoot and you would never have known it, she was so creative and a total natural. I am looking forward to shooting her again (and to doing her family’s portraits in a few weeks!).

It has been so rainy in Portland this month!! We were hoping it would be dry for all our weddings this week, but…not so much. We are into wedding season now and have had 2 already this week and one more on Saturday. It is a very busy and exciting time of year for us. Today I had a portfolio building fashion shoot with a local model and here is a shot we loved–using the rain the best we could. Please stay tuned for more shots, we have done tons of fashion shoots lately and lots more…

We are gearing up for an AMAZING year and are so psyched about all our upcoming shoots/weddings. We are happy to say that we are just about completely booked for weddings in 2009 and with the exception of a couple of dates in July, October/ November (and one weekend in Sept) we are booked up! We are now booking for 2010 weddings.

In addition to a wedding photography business, we also have portrait business and our new portfolio will be launching soon to feature some of that work. We will book up FAST this summer as inquiries are already pouring in, so please contact us for details on a shoot or to schedule time with us. Here are some of the portrait sessions that we offer:

• Newborn and children’s portraiture (and bday parties)
• Family portraits
• Senior photos
• Couples sessions
• Maternity and the birth of a baby
• Headshots
• Model portfolio building
• Fashion/artistic/boudoir (visit our personal websites to see more of our fashion work JW + LK)

As you can probably tell from viewing some of our work, we like to think our style is pretty unique and our vision for a shoot depends on a lot of factors, but primarily we base our decisions on locations around the subject and what they are looking for. Our style ranges from colorful and funky to edgy and dark. We try to find unique locations and play with light and angles.  These sessions are not a traditional studio session with stiff posing and a white backdrop… we also capture candid moments to give the photos a lifestyle feel.  Maine is INCREDIBLE May-Oct for photo shoots with beautiful light and scenery.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us by using the contact link up above or email me directly. We shoot 7 days a week but our weekends book incredibly quickly throughout the summer with weddings and other shoots. Travel within 20 min of Portland is included, and we are able to travel throughout Maine and elsewhere (we will be in New York in April, New Jersey in July and Washington DC in September).

SPRING/SUMMER PROMOTION: Refer a friend to us for any portrait session and if they book a session you’ll receive a $50 giftcard towards any shoot/product! Please be sure that they mention this promotion and your name when they contact us.
