One thing about me . . . I will be straight up bawling while editing photos like these. Jameson as a pup in 2014 and Jameson as an older fella in 2026. He is the OG and now big brother to two humans and two sister boxers. He is an absolute sweetheart delight 🩵

Had such a great time photographing Alex for his senior portraits at Pineland Farms! He’s such a kind young man—working as a carpenter and landscaper this summer and planning to pursue a trade after graduation (so smart!). His favorite part of the location? The fences.

One field. One evening. One year apart.

The peonies were in bloom again at Gilsland Farm, and so much has changed—from the world itself to how tall she’s grown. But one thing hasn’t changed: the steady, quiet love of her mom.

These portraits are more than a tradition now—they're a reminder of how fast it all goes, and how worth it it is to pause and be in the frame together.

In the same soft light and the same field of blooms, we get to witness the beauty of her growing up beside the one who loves her most. This special place is Gilsland Farm Audubon Center in Falmouth, Maine—so beautifully cared for, and so deeply appreciated. This mother-daughter session has become ...

You don’t always notice how much they’ve grown until you see it in a photograph. One year apart. Same place, same love—just a little more grown into it.

Taking the time for portraits like these isn’t just about the pictures. It’s about pausing long enough to be in them together.

Senior year goes fast — but the photos last.
I just shared a blog post featuring recent senior portrait sessions from across Southern Maine — with ideas for locations, session styles, and how to choose the right package for your student.

Whether you're helping your teen plan their session or just want portraits that actually feel like them, this is a great place to start.

Summer and early fall sessions are booking now, and I’d love to work with you!

As a Southern Maine-based photographer, one of my favorite parts of the job is working with high school seniors during such a meaningful milestone in their lives. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing senior portraits all across this beautiful region — from the rocky coastline, to ...
