I met Patience via a Facebook contest I was having in the winter of 2012. I gave away a $500 gift certificate to be used towards any of my services and/or products and Patience was my lucky winner. However, after knowing her for the last 2 years, I think I might be the lucky one! She’s country, she knows how to have fun, and she has a positive outlook on

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

Bee Jay’s Foam Party | Ft. Kent, Me
Two Saturdays ago, I was approached by a local DJ to shoot an event for him. He explained to me that he had recently made a new purchase of equipment and was going to be using it in a big way very soon. I don’t think I knew exactly what I was in for when I took the job. I came home filthier than my last trash the dress shoot-

Patience + Peter Wedding | Lonesome Pines Trails
Last year, upon moving to Maine, I decided to do my largest giveaway ever! Many entered and one lucky person won $500 towards any photography of their choice. Patience was my winner and I couldn’t be happier with who won it! She has been one of my funniest brides; she has been one of my “realest” brides; and she has definitely made an impression. I had the absolute pleasure of
This was my first time attending the Fiddler’s Jamboree in Fort Kent. Again, I must thank Jenna over at Upcountry-Living.com for taking me along. The Jamboree is a group of musicians across the St. John Valley who come together to play a concert. These individual groups have never played together before, and some have never played for a crowd. There was some serious talent in the group! One of my

Fort Kent UMFK Craft Show 2012
For those of you that do not know, I am a very crafty person and love to make things with my hands. My friend Jenna, over at Upcountry-Living.com, is the same way and it is wonderful! Jenna texted me asking if I would like to accompany her to the craft show at UMFK. Of course! We met women who make soap, knit whole sweaters, build dolls, and create Christmas ornaments

Black Bear Buying Club’s Food Tasting
Say that five times fast! Walking through the doors, we were greeted by the pleasant smell of mom’s made-from-scratch chicken stew and tables arranged in a buffet-style square. It all looked absolutely perfect. Bright red cranberries, piercing green Granny Smith apples topped with cream cheese and nuts, gluten-free deserts, and an assortment of teas, juices, and cider. The best part? All organic, all GMO-free, and all local. I made a
