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!
