More Lighthouse Images

Last time I posted a lighthouse image it was taken by a friend of mine. Well on Friday a friend of mine dragged me out to shoot for the day. I'm so glad I took her up on it.

We just got in the car and drove. We stopped in Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME to take some pictures of the lighthouses.

Here are just two images that I took Friday. If you read my previous post about the lighthouses you'll know how special these images are to me.

Saturday's Workshop

Saturday we had a lighting workshop at my studio with Lisa Zanchi. It was a great day and several other photog friends attended. I have a great time meeting everyone in person and seeing the ones that I already knew all over again.

Here are some images from the day.

Olivia's Photo Shoot

Last night I took Olivia to the studio because she wanted a photo shoot of her own. How on earth could I say no to that?

So off to the studio we went and here is just a bit of what we took.

Little Alex

This little cutie came to visit me today. I had so much fun playing around with him.

Here are just a few images for now.

Sneak Peek

Here you go Nicole, the girls were wonderful to work with today. I loved watching them interact with each other. They were so sweet.

Updated pictures

Updated pictures of the studio here. This is my camera room, and some pics of my little man. Gotta love getting help like this for testing the lights. lol

Scott is doing a great job on the studio, i'm so proud of all of his hard work.

The Studio Is Coming Along

Well things are moving nicely with the studio and I will be able to shoot sessions there any day now!! I'm so excited.....


We are hoping to have our grand opening on July 12th. There will be lots of prizes to win that day.

We will be giving away free sessions, portrait packages and accepting new senior models that day.

I'm getting ready to work on my window displays. Next month we'll be holding a contest, looking for your ideas for my window.

11 Years

Every year as this day comes around, I get to feeling a bit emotional. You see, 11 years ago today I said Goodbye to my Dad.

My Dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in April of 97. Since it's such an aggressive cancer, it took his life in just a few short months. As much as I didn't want to see my Dad go, it was better than watching him suffer through the pain.

Prior to my Dad's death, I was told that if I ever needed him, all I had to do was look to the lighthouse and there he would be. Ever since then, whenever I see a lighthouse, I feel like I am surrounded by my Dad. I feel some sense of security, calmness, I feel my Dad.

Well today when I was visiting a photography board that I visit, I saw a post from a friend of mine. Funny, out of all days to post, she posted her lighthouse images today. This image that she sent to me took my breath away.

So even though my Dad is no longer here in person, I can find peace in the fact that he is always near by.

Christy, thank you posting that image today. You helped put a smile back on my face.

Happy Father's Day

I hope that all you wonderful dad's out there had a great day.

We did, we took Scott to Mel's Funway Park in Litchfield, NH. We had a great time. We rode on Go-Karts, went mini golfing, played Lazer Tag, and also tried going through a Lazer Maze. Can I just tell you that I stink at the whole Lazer thing! lol The kids kicked my butt!

I'm going to share some pictures from our day. We had a blast and it was so nice to just let loose and run around and have a good time.

Hope you enjoy the images we captured.

Growing Up

I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time with the fact that my little girl is growing up. School is almost out for the summer and that means that when she goes back in August she'll be in 8th grade.

How the heck did that happen, I feel like I just signed her up for 1st grade the other day. How is my baby finishing up her last year at the Middle School. Oh my word, that means High School is going to be after that.

So just thought I'd share a picture of my "not so" little girl. She's growing up and she makes me proud.
