Country Girl Boudoir in Maine
One of my absolute favorite people in this tiny little town in the St. John Valley ventured into my Madawaska, Maine photography studio earlier this week. She came with a Pinterest Board full of ideas and inspiration for her country-themed boudoir session. I like when a model shows up with some ideas of their own! Together we created some fun, moody, and absolutely sexy images. We played with some harsh

Finding Wedding Vendors is NOT Simple, People.
How do my brides pick and choose their vendors?! Oh. My. God. My first mistake? Posting an ad on Craigslist detailing exactly what I wanted from potential vendors- a link to their website, a link/pdf to/of their prices, and to tell me a little bit about their company. Sounds simple, right? (I’m saying this a lot lately.) Wrong! Vendors! This is to you, so pay attention. READ THE WHOLE AD!

A Date and A Budget!
“They” say the first thing you should do before any planning, is set a date and a budget. Simple enough, right? Sure, if you have no one to invite… Sure, if your fiance is great with numbers… Sure, if you know how much it costs to set up and deliver a class-act wedding… Did you know the average price tag on a wedding in the US is somewhere close to

Sylvia + Travis | A Winter Engagement
36 degrees, partly cloudy, and windy as hell. I met up with Sylvia and her fiance’ Travis just before 4pm in front of their log cabin in the woods. It was absolutely adorable. Dark, chocolate brown logs, stacked neatly, one on top of the other. It looked like Lincoln Logs – life size! On top of the cabin was a bright orange roof. Sylvia was right- you couldn’t miss this

Why You Shouldn’t Steal Images
For starters, it’s 2014 (Happy New Year!) and the internet is not the hole you think it is. Every image uploaded is sorted, categorized, and saved somewhere. It is searchable. It can be found. You will get busted. You will be publicly humiliated. This article is to photographers, mainly. I was recently browsing the world wide web and I came across another photographer’s site in Maine. She had a boudoir

Aroostook’s Own Jenna Beaulieu
All I want is to persevere in the remembrance of things beautiful, of things terrifying.
