Maine Wedding Photographer – Blush Imagery » Maine Wedding Photographer

!Zing swung by the studio to upgrade their look. This exceptional choral group is more jazz oriented and challenging than the other choices available in Portland, Maine. We all had a magical time. At their late night session, the wine was flowing and the voices roaring. Somehow, in between, we worked together to get this sweet gem of a photo. Love it! Congrats guys on being the largest group we’ve ever photographed in the studio, to date. Group shots of this size are monumentally challenging for all the reason you can image– space, size, blinks– but they worked hard to make this a hit! Thanks to Gerard, my good friend and owner of Porte 4, for introducing me to all of your new friends! Hope it gives the new website some sparkle. Enjoy!

Whitney, a 2010 Blush bride, gave her mother Lori a fun birthday gift this year— a mother – daughter session. Photographing this duet was just so fascinating. In one sitting, I literally saw the snapshots of their lifetime together unfold. I photographed the small kisses mama Lori gave Whitney as a toddler. I captured the tight hugs that a now very grown-up Whitney gives to Lori on visits home from college. It is such an interesting time in both of their lives as they plan this wedding together.

It’s funny,  Lori and Whit also happen to be very dear friends of mine so our session was just hysterical! This tends to happen when you know your subjects well… no one can stop laughing. But this quiet image really spoke to me about their mother – daughter bond. Thanks Lori and Whitney! Love you! Can’t wait for you to see the rest! Super job!

If you are interested in gifting a portrait for Mother’s Day, I’d love to do more! Just send me an email.

It is a special thing for a photographer to be invited back into a family’s life. Two years ago, I photographed Jane and Nate’s wedding on Little Diamond Island. And last Friday, I found myself on the family boat heading there again for a special blush bonds family session. My friends Nate and Jane have obviously settled into marriage life very well. Nate’s brother John brought his fiance, Melanie, to celebrate the Fourth on their Maine island. They’ll be married soon in Florida. Dodo and Paul, parents of this fabulous funky bunch, looked proud and happy to have both sons home with their two daughter-in-laws for the holiday. Dodo raves endlessly about her new daughters!

Everyone was in the the spirit of the Island. There is a sacred Islander way of life, you know. I am not at liberty to reveal these ways— but I can say bare feet and alcohol are often involved. Our shoot was silly at times and a ton of fun. I made these casual arty family moments and some more traditional family shots too —that I just love. Great job to you guys!

I left reluctantly after a glass of wine with my friends. Sigh. Totally great afternoon! Dodo is that offer of adoption still on the table? Count me in!
