Meet !Zing

!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!

blush bling: 2010 Maine engagement session, James & Crystal

Just a few pictures from newly engaged couple and new friends James and Crystal. James came to see me to get photos with his fiance before he had to ship off— he’s a fighter pilot headed to the Middle East. On their very last day together, we fit this session in for them. They spent their time with me making photos. It was a high honor and just the most fun. Their photos came out gorgeous!

It sounds a bit kookey… but I actually miss these guys. I just loved them. After the session, James hugged me like I was his very own sister. I love people like that! Sweetest people ever. Ever. Alas, James is off doing his job for the country (thank you Diesel!) and Crystal is back at home in D.C. working too.

Here’s hoping James and Crystal are surviving apart and hoping that they will be back together soon. Love to you guys!
