Last weekend I met this beautiful family on the coast of Cape Elizabeth for one of my first outdoor family portrait sessions of the year. It wasn’t their first time in front of my camera though. When I was living in Connecticut, my first morning in a big Connecticut church, not knowing anyone, in my row sat two brand new parents, nervously cradling this incredibly tiny, striped pajama wearing bundle. I had no idea sitting next to them that Sunday that I would soon pursue a passion for photography, let alone have the honor of preserving memories for that very family for years to come. That little bundle I met that morning is now so grown and such a joy to be around.

Our last session was when this little girl was born, she was just a few weeks old! We have both moved to Maine over the years, and we took advantage of warmer spring weather here and headed to the coast. I’ll be sharing more of this family portrait session next week! This favorite image here was photographed on medium format black and white film, using my Hasselblad. Stay tuned to see more!
