family portraits at pine point beach...again

there is nothing better then this job except when you get to add personal friends. i was so excited when this family i know signed up for our 'day at the beach shoot' (see earlier posts about this fundraiser i did with nadra from nadra photography). they are such a sweet and happy family. we always love meeting them at the playground and hanging out. here are some of my favorites from the day together...

kristi & matt

july 17th, 2010
these two picked a perfect day and beautiful locations. downtown outside the eastland park hotel proved to be a lot of fun for taking photos of the guys. i love the cathedral where they were married. it is an amazing portland landmark. after the ceremony we went to spring point light in south portland to do some shots and it was gorgeous blue skies for us!

matt's work has to do with trains and he was really interested in doing some photos with trains in some way. so i went before the wedding and scouted out a spot where we could sneak into a train yard discreetly. it turned out to be a lot of fun and i am so glad they were up for something really different.

back at the eastland ballroom was dinner and dancing. the room was beautiful and they did a great job with everything, but especially the flambe' dessert which is a great 'show'.

thank you to kristi and matt for making the day so great. you were both so sweet, laid back, up for whatever i asked you to do, and a lot of fun to be around!

wednesdays with charlie

for the last few weeks i have had to go into work on wednesdays so missed my time with charlie. summer is just a really busy time of year here in maine, which is a good thing! but i was glad to get to connect with charlie this wednesday. she has been asking to go back to the farm , smiling hill farm, since we went the first time a few months ago so that's where we went. she really loves the pigs and thus we spent a lot of time with them. and i loved the alpacas with the haircut that made charlie say "mama they don't have any eyes!".

after nap time my god parents came with their 1969 ford torrino convertible. we decided we could drive down to jet video to get an ice cream and that would be safe. it was a lot of fun to ride in a car with no lid!

family portraits at pine point beach

i photographed bethany's wedding and her daughters first birthday party. i just love being a continued part of my bride and grooms lives. i love meeting their children and getting to know them and just catching up. so i was excited to see bethany again and do some more photos of her, fiona, and then baby on the way in september. life is grand!
and i can't get over the photos of fiona and her doll. i think they are some of my favorite photos in a long time...
