Now that the world has opened up a bit after 15 months of covid-lockdown, I’ve been blessed to photograph several families. Its been so much fun to run around with kids and shoot people loving each other in gorgeous light.
I love what I do. And dang it, I just adore this couple and their maternity shoot. Big congrats to them now that their baby boy has arrived!
Thinking you need photos done of your family, newborn, etc? Shoot me a message, I’d be happy to talk!
Just a foggy morning and some double-crested cormorants in Cape Cod.
Me: Babe, what are we naming the trees?
Him: Oscar, Alfred, Freddy…
Me: Okay, that’s the name of the photo now.
Him: No, those are the trees.
Me: So what are we naming the photo?
Him: I don’t know.
Me: That seems like an even worse name.
Naming photos is probably one of the worst parts of being a photographer. lol
In February, we treated ourselves to a helicopter ride over Rhode Island (one of the only states we can travel to at the moment) and ate way too much delicious food–fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, cocktails and fresh lobster bisque. Honestly, it was a little chilly to be sitting outside eating food, but with COVID being what it is, we were happy just to get out of the house. Despite the cold, we had a lovely day. The bird’s eye view of things is pretty spectacular, and I’m feeling relaxed after our belated Valentine’s date.
For those wondering, we used Newport Helicopter Tours in Middletown, RI. They have plexiglass dividing the us from the cockpit, so we had our own space. Masks, of course, are still required and the cabin was cleaned between each set of guests. Our pilot pointed out notable spots, gave us some history about the area, and was an all around nice guy.
Shaken, not stirred.

A shot from the archives, when we went to Montreal and stopped to take foliage shots along the way. ❤
Another one from the archives. It was a beautiful, foggy sunrise and after I’d taken my grand landscape shots, we wandered a bit to see if anything caught our eyes. The dog was happy just to sniff around while I took photos of this and that.
Suddenly, the dog’s ears perked up and my other half called over to me. “Did you hear that?”
Do photographers EVER hear things when they’re lost in their creative flow? The obvious answer was no.
But, he swore up and down that he caught a glimpse of something BIG in the woods near the pond. And being in moose and bear territory, we decided it was time to shove off.
At least I got this photo. 🙂
It being winter, and all, I figured I should post a photo of some snow. 🙂
I miss traveling. Here are some local trees.
You can read more about this location, Belding Wildlife Preserve in CT, on The Outbound’s site.
Pandemics make travel difficult, obviously, so I’ve been going through my archives looking at shots I either never edited, or didn’t *like* the edit on at the time. I actually can’t remember if I released this before. But if I did, I know I wasn’t happy with it. Finicky perfectionist artists, amiright?
Anyway, today I sat down to edit and felt excited as the image took shape. So, now I present to you…maybe again…a photo of boats!
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.” -Nathaniel Hawthorne
A massive snowstorm is predicted for this evening. That’s the perfect time to edit an old photo of autumn, yeah?
Now pass me that pumpkin spice latte! 🤪
Looking for other bloggers, book reviewers (if you can read, you're in!) and photographers who want to join forces to save the world! (Or something like that.)
