I have been considering starting a 365 Photo Project for a while now but couldn’t really fathom doing it on top of the business and not losing my mind. Alas, after a slight scare that I had lost all of my personal images from the past few years, I realized, while recovering my files, that… [Read More]

Baby Shower and No Power | Maine Family Photographer
So it happened like this. I drive down to Wells for Cindy’s baby shower… it’s Sunday morning, there’s a howling wind and raining like crazy. I walk up the driveway, grab the door handle and as the door opens everyone makes a loud gasp. I’m like “I’m here!” (but I don’t really say that!) and… [Read More]
Family Afternoon on Peaks Island | Portland, Maine Island Day Trip
Each year, I make a summer bucket-list – all the fun things we want to do together before school is back in session in September – and we check them off as we go. Last year Peaks Island was on the list but time never allowed it. So, because we never go to do it… [Read More]
Weekend away to Newport, Rhode Island
Ah, the weekend that David and I had been waiting for all winter had finally arrived! We were off for an entire weekend to Newport, Rhode Island… and no kids were coming. I had been to Newport to photograph a wedding a couple of years ago and he had been yearrrrs ago to the first… [Read More]
Old Port Festival 2015 & The V A G Fair | Portland and Brunswick Maine
After Saturday’s fun in Kennebunk, I had to run off to photograph a wedding with my good friend Patty of Kivalo Photography. I got home that night, played a round of backyard disc golf and then hit the hay… Sunday was going to be busy with fun! For the second time in two days, we… [Read More]
Pro-BMX rider Kevin Robinson visits Kennebunk | Maine Family Photographer
We drove through Kennebunk a couple of weeks ago and saw a banner hanging on the side of the Waterhouse Center that was built in downtown a couple of years ago and saw that Kevin Robinson was coming to town. David was pretty excited as “K-Rob” is a pro-bmx rider that he has followed over… [Read More]
Saco, Maine Memorial Day Parade | Maine Lifestyle Photographer
Baby J had never seen a parade – until Memorial Day. He always loves to watch the fire trucks rush down Beach Street, oddly it always seems to happen when we are walking his sister to school in the morning. He loves FLAGS, too. Oh, my word, does that child love a good flag blowing… [Read More]
A Day Trip to Kennebunkport, ME | Maine Photographer
One of my good friends has been raving about this new ice cream shop in Kennebunkport since last summer… Sadly, I never made it over there before the season was over. Sunday morning, I had a little finishing up in the front garden that was receiving a much-needed makeover and then we decided we would… [Read More]
Family Road Trip to New York City
I just spent the past few days in New Jersey. My brother married an amazing chick about 4 years ago and they have been together for something like 12 years. Last year, they picked up and moved their small family of three and headed to the suburbs when baby #2 was on the way as… [Read More]

Every child loves … | Maine Family Portrait Photographer
Every child loves playtime… and I think everything is playtime when you are under a certain age… for most, playtime is essential, even as adults. I got a new lens to play around with and my one-year-old happily played in his room while I snapped away. He is always watching me. Even when he is… [Read More]
Oh the days of film | Saco Maine Portrait Photographer
I have always loved film. The softness. The dreamy looks that can be accomplished with film is so different than with digital. I photographed all of my clients with film through 2007 and then hesitantly switched to digital in 2008. I still photograph with film using an old Yashica-A and a mix of medium format… [Read More]
Photographers Volunteer in Portland Soup Kitchen | Sarah Jane Photography
Yesterday was a day that filled my soul. It made me more aware. I knew that Portland, ME has a growing homeless population. I learned that that population was growing and yet the amount of dollars to support this community was not increasing to meet the demand. On Monday, seven of my colleagues and I… [Read More]
