Aspiring Actor / Model Session
A local aspiring actor and model came in to the studio this weekend for a standard portrait session to get prints for his agencies references. While we can do straight head shots, we prefer to spice life up a little bit and have some fun with our photos. We love working with actors and models [...]
Seaside Train Tracks
We took a trip out on one of the last really beautiful days of summer here in Maine last weekend to venture out on a landscape session. With the focus in mind of photographing some of Maine’s past eras that still exist in one form or another. The (and I’ll borrow a phrase from one [...]
MUA Collaboration
My favorite make up artist Genevieve was in the studio today and we brought some friends in to play around with the fantastic MAC makeups she always brings with her. Gen is from the Boston, MA area and available for brides and bridesmaids for their important wedding days. A few shots from the MAC session [...]
Senior Session – Jenna
Jenna stopped by for her beach senior photo session today, and she brought the sun with her! We met up with Jenna at one of our favorite beach locations but had to wait out a quick rain storm. Just as the clouds were breaking, low tide provided us with a great opportunity to get out [...]
Summertime Shooting Tech
With the summer right around the corner, its a great time to shop for deals online for photography gear. Some of the new items this year i’m looking at are a nice wide angle lens. I’ve wnated one for quite some time now and I think this summer i’m going to grab one and go [...]
Matt & Maria
Spent a great afternoon down at the beach with this energetic and super fun couple. Matt and Maria are getting married next July and are having a Christmas in July wedding – complete with Santa sleigh! Here are a few samples from the session.
Lens Caps For Photographers
One of my biggest pet peeves is when I am on a location shoot and can not find the lens cap after i’m done shooting. I’ve lost them countless number of times in various locations, but can never seem to find them again. One of the best parts abou Ebay is that you can find [...]

Train stations are a direct time line of our past, present and future as a country. This image is the first of a series from around the North East.
Cheap Photography Gear
Had some free time this week to put together a list of cheap photography gear that you can find on ebay. While there is a lot of cheap photography gear out there that is junk and not worth spending money on some of it can be a diamond in the rough. So if you’re looking [...]
Photo Gel Deals
One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to produce multiple backgrounds from a single light source is to use photo gels. These handy little pieces of transparency can take a white backdrop from white to any color backdrop you can imagine. Take it one step further and run a color transparency through your [...]
Fun With Fireworks
There is nothing more American then lighting off some good old fashioned (and super deadly if done wrong) large fireworks on the beach! ~Noun: Often, a combustible or explosive device for producing a striking display of light or a loud noise, used for signaling or as part of a celebration.
A Spring River Runs
Some shots from the other day. A beautiful spring day in Maine. It doesn’t get much better then shooting in the new warm spring air.
Rainy Days
April showers, will eventually bring may flowers, but you still have to sit through the rain! Luckily this spring is going to be super busy, so I won’t be worried about the rain that will inevitably come through April. Big things are on the immediate horizon – and by big I mean huge. If you [...]

A new site layout will be coming very shortly. It will house a slimmed down interface which will hopefully be fast loading and right to the point. Keep tuned for further updates.

Spring Photography in Maine
Maine provides photographers a tremendous amount of natural wonder and beauty every day. It is up to the photographer to make the journey of imagination and creativity to capture that beauty in a still image. I am always heartened to feel the warm spring air in Maine after the long winter nights. Here are some [...]
Late Winter Photography
Just a quick post from a shoot at sunset on a nature trail that is just out of the way enough to keep most people away. As a photographer you have to be willing to take the extra step and travel a little further to get the good shots in the best areas.

Typical Maine Winter Day
Just another typical winter day in Maine. Was out with my new D90 and thought this was a good setting to try some of the new features on the D90. One of the better things about shooting with the 18-105 lens on my D90 is the vibration reduction setting, its a great way to shoot [...]
The Nikon D90 Is Fantastic
I love Christmas, and I especially love want Santa decided to drop under my tree this year, a shiny new Nikon D90. Apparently Santa was rich and decided that I needed a nice upgrade to the incredibly fast and responsive D90. While I have yet to really get out and seriously test the D90′s capabilities, [...]
