Jiffy Print Online – A Personal Review
It was a normal weekend evening and I was browsing Twitter for companies or people to follow that appealed to me. I had just gotten a business card order from a widely-known printing company and I was online posting about them. I stumbled across a Tweet about 500 free business cards from Jiffy Print Online on Mondays. They’re giving away sets of 500 cards to celebrate the launching of their

Destination Wedding Photography
Every morning, I get up, make a pot of coffee, and read & respond to emails from engaged couples asking about my pricing, what’s included, etc… and they are not always in Maine. Sometimes they are even as far as Southern California. While responding to these messages I’ve noticed one thing… A lot do not respond once they realize my location. They either assume I do not travel or that

Amy + Mathew | A Real Maine Wedding
The day started like any other day. A fresh pot of coffee to aid in the charging of the last of my AA and AAA batteries and packing all of my gear into the truck. I left about 45 minutes early so I could capture all the details of the wedding. The drive was pleasant, the weather was amazing, and the sun was shining bright. (Last year, I had my

A Girl & Her Horse | Portraits in Northern Maine
Last Christmas, I had a crazy sale on my Gift Certificates for professional photography in northern Maine. A local woman here in Madawaska, bought a few for some family members and close friends. One of the recipients was to be a young teen girl with a very spirited horse named Jasmine. I met Desiree’s mother at their house in town and followed them out Flat Mountain Rd. to the stables
I don’t know if you know this about Brad Morin or not, but he has one of the most infectious laughs I have encountered. With it, a warm, beautiful smile. His soul is kind and you can see it in his eyes. I am blessed to have been a part of this family’s final step toward their Brad becoming a Priest- something he has known he wanted to do since

Published! Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee – Talent Blend
Every once in a while, I get a wild streak and I enter a few photography contests with the work, I feel, speaks to people. It’s been a couple months since I had entered any, and honestly, I forgot that a couple were still running. I checked my email yesterday morning as I always do and I had an email from a Lizzy. I knew no Lizzys and I almost
Texas. It’s where I was born and raised. When people ask me where I’m from, the answer is “Texas!” every time. I grew up in Katy… before half of Katy was considered Houston (Fry Rd, anyone?). I spent 19 years of my life holding a Katy address. Every time I go back it is a little bit more foreign. There are new businesses, taller buildings, higher garages, and new roads

US Army – Inspired Maternity Session
While doing my usual morning routine of coffee and emails, I came across a very timid and shy-sounding email from a US military wife. She wanted something special for her husband who was deployed. Whether or not he would be home in time for the birth of his first son, Carson Pete, was still up in the air and I could tell this worried her a bit. I shot her
