Arik & Chrissy ~ A Belly Session!

I am so excited to meet this little guy when he decides to make his entrance into the world!

It will be the first baby for two of my very good friends; Chrissy and Arik. Chrissy has a nurturing, giving, and outgoing personality and with Arik's being protective, loving, and warm, they make the perfect combination for some amazing parents!

Thank you so much Chrissy & Arik for asking me to photograph such a special time in your lives. I am so happy for the two of you and your families. Your baby is going to be one lucky little munchkin!

We love you guys!

I love this image because it IS Chrissy.
She is always laughing and just so refreshing to be around.

Three Button Deluxe ~ Echo Hill Event Photography

What an amazing event with Three Button Deluxe at The Wedding & Event Center at Echo Hill!

Snow may have been flying last night, but, it didn't stop the fabulous followers of swing dancing! Close to 90 people packed the house and gave the fluffy white stuff a run for it's money. Dancers spinned, twirled, and flipped to the cool tunes of the 40's & 50's.

The band members; David Clarke on guitar, Tim O'Dell on saxaphone, Bill Batty on Drums, and Patrick Rowling on Bass were all decked out in zoot suits, wing tip shoes, and sunglasses to help take us back in time and get into the "swing of things"!

The vintage microphones were the perfect touch to complete the look.

Thank you so much to Three Button Deluxe, the guests, and The Waterworks for making our

very first swing dance a wonderful success!

Mr. & Mrs. Collins ... PreCeremony ~ Rockland, ME Wedding Photography

Lisa and her girls got ready at the adorable Blackberry Inn in Camden.
I had never been there, and didn't realize they have much more than what you just see from the road!

The suite was rustic, warm, and cozy with touches of the outdoors accenting every room.
What a perfect spot for Lisa and Will to spend their first night as a married couple!

The girls strike a pose before we head out to shoot their formals....

you won't want to miss what's up next!

Here's a hint.......

Mr. & Mrs. Collins ~ Rockland, ME Wedding Photography

Wow!! It's been a long time since I have put out a blog! Holy moly!

I waited a little while on posting this because I was hoping to have a new blog, for the new year but, I am still trying to decide exactly what I would like to do. So, without making the wedding party and their amazing families wait any longer.. I am at least putting out the first look!

My good friends from R Studio have been doing an amazing job at updating, and keeping their blog fresh and exciting! So, they have inspired me to do the same and approach my blogs a little bit differently.

Enjoy!

The Wedding of Will & Lisa Collins

The Details

The Royal Blue and silver that filled the lodge was a perfect combination for Lisa & Will's winter wedding. Snowflakes hung from the fire place, were scattered on the tables, and even detailed the shimmering winter cake.
