I spent a gorgeous Saturday morning with the Manganello family a couple of weeks ago! We played by the water and took some photos and I just can’t get enough of these guys! I always really appreciate it when families approach a session with the expectation that their kiddos will just be themselves and can laugh and run around and engage with one another in a real and authentic way! Shocker, I know, but it turns out that yelling at your kids to smile doesn’t actually work very well! These guys had no such issue…there were adventures on the dock, climbing on the playground, and a bit of tossing in the air to keep things lively and the smiles came of their own accord!

I am woefully behind on my blogging…I blame these gorgeous summer days that have so suddenly come to shine down on us here in Maine! It feels impossible to stay indoors some afternoons and I admit that I have been looking for every excuse to take my camera outside to play in the wind and sunshine! But I have SO MUCH that I’m excited to share coming up!!! I wanted to leave you with a little peek for the weekend so here’s a little preview of what’s coming up in the next week or two!! Brea and Blaine were married on Saturday at the GORGEOUS Hidden Pond. Despite a questionable forecast, the day was just beautiful…though that might just have been Brea’s radiance blinding me! I’ll save my gushing, but seriously…awesome.

Terry is the yogic genius behind Freeport Yoga Company and I spent an amazing morning with her at Wolfe’s Neck…I’m excited to do some standup paddle yoga pics with her soon as well, so this isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of her! Also, if you are local, she  is hosting a fabulous 108 Sun Salutations workshop to celebrate the Solstice this weekend and the talented Moriah Salter will be accompanying the practice with her soulful original music! Don’t miss it!!!

Do you remember Roger from his last shoot? Well, after his Sunburnt single did so well, he’s heading to Nashville this fall and will be recording a full album, so we met up to grab some new photos to go with his new tunes!!
