Boy, I am in trouble.

Because how could I ever say "no" to

those eyes


or that smile?

Maine Coast

Last week, I took a day and just went for a ride by myself to take some photographs of my home state of Maine.

My Dad gets engaged.

Being a photographer sometimes allows you to be witness to some of the most important moments of someone's life. Today, I'm going to share a personal moment from my life with you. As many of you know, my mom passed away last year from colon cancer.

I am thrilled that my dad has found love and companionship again. His fiance is a woman who my parents have known for 42 years. As a matter of fact, Barbara's husband, who passed away from cancer 7 years ago was in my parents wedding and I believe my dad was in her wedding.

When dad told me he was going to ask Barbara to marry him and wanted me to photograph the event, I said "Are you sure you want me there?" (thinking that this is usually a private event between a man and a woman), but his response to me was that he wanted this on film (or in digital format).

So, here are the pictures.

Enjoy!

More studio pics

Here's my super sweet son, Danny. He is at the silly grin phase. The scrunched up face is him saying "cheese".

My new studio!!

Faithful Photos Studio is officially open for business! I am booking portrait sessions July and August at greatly reduced rates while we iron out all of the bugs of using our new equipment. I am very excited about having a studio.

If you are interested in a session, please feel free to give me a call at 942-4967.



Here are some pictures of my son Joey that I took in the studio last night.

August Special

Hello everyone! I don't have any pictures to post today. I will have some soon, though as I am photographing a family sometime next week. We are watching the weather and will pick a nice day. It's no fun taking a 3 and a 5 year old out in the rain to do a photo shoot!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about a special I am running for the month of August. I have purchased some new indoor studio lighting equipment and I really want to try it out on live people instead of Joey and Danny's stuffed animals. So... for the month of August only, I will discount all sitting fees 25% and you only pay if you're happy with at least 20 proofs. As I said, I'm trying to learn this new lighting equipment and would love to have some living, breathing, able to move subjects. If you're willing to be my guinea pig, give me a call and we'll set up a time.

All the best,
Judi

Erin and Jason -- July 11, 2008

Perfect is the word to describe Erin and Jason's wedding day! The weather was gorgeous and the details of the ceremony and the reception were exquisite. I photographed this wedding with my friend Vicky and we had a blast together. Enjoy!
