Choosing the prime location is an important aspect of any engagement session! Whether you’re a bride/groom-to-be or a photographer, finding the right location can be a challenge. I put together a list of some of my favorite places in the midcoast Maine region. If you are new to the area or looking for some fresh […]

I love knowing the little things about people that don’t immediately meet the eye. Like their favorite kind of ice cream (cookie dough, in my case!) or a weird habit they had as a child (number 23 is a good example of that…). The things that make us unique can be the same things that […]

As the weather warms up and snow melts, it is becoming clear that spring is finally HERE! To say I’m excited is an understatement. Spring means I am closer to another exciting, busy wedding season. In the meantime, I get to shoot engagement sessions for tons of my awesome 2018 and 2019 couples! I met […]

If you ever email me asking if you can include your dog in your engagement session, the immediate answer is “YES!”. As a dog lover and a photographer, having them be a part of any session is a no-brainer. That being said, as anyone with a dog knows, they can be a handful to photograph. […]

Normal people celebrate their birthday by having a party with all their friends or going out for dinner and drinks. What do I do on my birthday? Drive 3 hours to Acadia National Park for a styled wedding photo shoot! Duh. A few weeks ago I discovered this opportunity, planned by Emily of Elusive Photography. She […]

David and Elaine met me at Bug Light Park in South Portland on a freezing cold day in January. One of the biggest downfalls of living in Maine are the winters.

The first few days after getting engaged feel like a whirlwind.  It is all excitement, happiness, and responding to Facebook messages. Then the realization sets in that its time to PLAN A WEDDING! I headed to Facebook and asked the MGP family what the best wedding advice they had gotten and was completely overwhelmed with […]

Anyone from Maine understands just how brutal and unpredictable our winters can be. Niki, Brady and I were forced to reschedule not once, but TWICE because, lets face it, winter can suck sometimes. Luckily, we ended up with the most gorgeous 40 degree day and the wait was totally worth it! Not only did they […]

Yes, you read that title right… We all wake up and put our pants on one leg at a time, but do you know how to dress to make your photographer love you? The truth is, a great photographer can make any outfit work in an image. You could even show up in a chicken […]

We absolutely loved working with Melissa from beginning to end! She was very professional and made us feel so at ease during our engagement photos and was fantastic during our wedding capturing every detail. We are in LOVE with the final results. We were married on a frigid (-5° and she was still game to […]
