May I suggest living your Summer like a kid who got both chocolate AND rainbow sprinkles on their ice cream cone? Annie is here to show you how to do it right…

Perfect Summer evenings call for family photos and visits to your local ice cream stand. 🩵☀️🍦

Capturing people coming together for whatever reason is kind of my thing.

There’s just something about people celebrating eachother, or their loved ones, that gets my cameras and my heart happy. Witnessing Linda celebrate her 70th with lots of hugs, laughs, tasty food, and foggy views was the perfect way to spend an afternoon!

Happy birthday, Linda! It was an honor to hang out with you and all your people.

I love capturing events that are filled with people celebrating, having fun and/or coming together for a cause. Sometimes they happen in fun places like bowling alleys, and I’m pretty grateful for that.

Congrats to on another very fun client appreciation night! What a great group of humans that came together to bowl, eat, laugh, and shake off the end of winter. Bravo, April & team!

Sisters.

Another year with this fun family and the little one really brought it this year! Her sly sense of humor had me cracking up during their session and again while I was editing. Sneaky looks and smiles coupled with an occasional scowl. Meanwhile the older one is all smiles almost all of the time!

It’s pretty sweet to see personalities develop over time with little ones. Extra sweet to see the bond between sisters become so strong. 🩵

B&L, your gallery is coming your way soon!

I grew up in a really good truck or treating neighborhood. It’s even more fun to go as an adult with the niece. Partly because of the fresh donuts served out of a food truck.

The horizontals.

So many faves from this session - I may need to do a separate post for the verticals!

Thank you, Anna for a fun shoot on my favorite beach in that perfect September light! Cheers to your final year of high school! ❤️

When team photos happen on a boat..

Chasing light while moving and rocking and laughing with the last week. Putting my sea legs to the test!

Worth it.

The black and white side of roller derby.

From back in June at Maine Roller Derby’s first international tournament, Skatecationland.

On a sunny July day I remembered I hadn’t posted photos from a rainy day shoot several months ago. If only I was one of those people who did things in proper order!
Oh well.

Years of photographing this family, and plenty of times in questionable weather. I love that they are always up for whatever, and we somehow manage to get colorful photos even if the sun has no interest in helping us out.

And now one is having her final Summer before college! Which is wild to think about how I have photos from before she had a sister.
And a great reminder to get the photos done and stop waiting for everything and everyone to be perfect. Time is going to keep moving forward, weather is going to happen, bodies and faces and hairstyles and fashion choices will keep changing. None of it has to be perfect. Being together and being you is the important part!

Trust me on that one.

Maybe when we let go of all that waiting for everything to line up perfectly stuff we realize what’s right here in front of us is actually pretty great stuff. Even if it rains the day of your shoot 💜☔️🩵

Years ago a little sport known as roller derby came into my life, and with it a bunch of great humans who have helped shape the last decade+ of my life. A few injuries, a pandemic, and a cancer battle later and I no longer lace up my skates to compete, but I do love watching these people do it. And capturing a few photos every once in awhile. 💙

Yesterday hosted its first (international) tournament. The niece and I went to the first bout where we shared laughs, hugs, high fives, and big cheers with some of the amazing people I have met over the years. Maine won by one point. ONE POINT! If you know derby, you know that means some very exciting game play right down to the very last second.

We left with happy full hearts.

Being done with roller derby is one of those tricky things for a lot of people. An all-consuming sport where no one is getting paid and other parts of your life get ignored is sometimes tricky to watch from the sidelines once it’s your turn to move on, but I am glad to get to observe from a different vantage point now. And glad to have the camera with me.

There is still a full day of derby happening today, Sunday June 9 at Happy Wheels Skate Center on Chabot Street in Westbrook! Check out the MRD page for info.
