The Studio by the Sea

09/23/2026

I loved walking into Barnstable Intermediate School yesterday to new murals everywhere - they are fabulous and really change the entire feel of the school.

But my favourite part of the day yesterday came when we were done photographing, leaving with all our stuff. We take the stairs when we can because, well, I’m me. I had my big old heavy camera case… this 6th or 7th grade boy said, ‘I’ve got that for you’ ‘oh it’s really heavy, thank you though, I’ve got it,’ I replied, ‘no,’ he said, ‘I’ve got you’ after which he took my case and proceeded to carry it down two flights of stairs for me.

My cup runneth over.

Some portrait sessions make me remember how much I love what I do.

Dayna happens to be the granddaughter of my first photography teacher. How cool is that? How cool is she?

Very cool. Turn those outside lights off at night ( now and always!).

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Local radar sites around the Great Lakes and New England are exploding with radar returns this evening. It's not rain.

These are "biological" echoes, many millions of birds participating in the annual fall migration southward. These large nocturnal migrations appear as fuzzy circles around individual radar sites, flaring up after dark as birds take flight under the relative safety of night. You'll often see them appear shortly after local sunset, expanding westward as the Earth rotates. Pretty cool!

Cape Cod has a little magic every where you turn.

Fellow beach brigadiers for scale (of course we were doing a beach cleanup. What better way to show appreciation to this spectacular part of the world I live in?)

I gave my love and blessings to this humpback long since swimming in seas I cant see. x

Having website issues is always such fun, especially right in the middle of our busy season.

Apologies! Our site is down, we’re scrambling to get it sorted. Email me directly if you need anything.

We currently are fully booked for portraits this season. Please visit PPOCC.org if you’re looking for family or senior portraits this August.

Happy Summer!

Rosa Rugosa in bloom can only mean one thing - summer is almost here…

Well, okay two things, it means it smells really lovely around here right now too.
