As the summer season has passed and the leaves continue to fall off the trees, I can’t help but cherish the sweet tastes of summer and am excited to see how we embrace all things fall with cozy-warm drinks and hardy meals. Until then... I am particularly fond of our homemade raspberry cupcakes, perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth. Whether it's just for snackin' or an event, these cupcakes make for a delicious treat, message me if interested!

With several days this week forecasted to reach high into the 80's, it's beginning to look like the start of a potential Indian summer this year; what's a better way to enjoy the long Labor Day weekend than with a delicious BBQ and time spent with family and friends. So, whether you're still in school, working or doing something else I hope you were able kick up your feet today and can soak up the last of summer's sunshine in the days to come. Maybe even in style, grilling something tasty like these Shish-kabobs or hanging outside in the sun.

Just 1-month ago month ago today, I had the privilege of welcoming a beautiful little baby girl into the world. Seems crazy to think she's already a month old! From the beginning excitement of finding out I was pregnant, the love I felt for her only grew tent times the moment I first laid eyes on her. To say I am excited about this new life and the joy that comes with being a new mum would be an understatement. Now, after some well-deserved maternity leave, I'm back at it and couldn't be more thrilled to be doing the job I love, documenting those special moments in people's lives and being this little one's mum (plus she gives me an excuse for getting more photography props and such). Already this little peanut has filled my life with so much happiness, and I'm so proud to call myself her mum.

:The Appalachian Trail is where these two lovebirds met, and what better place to choose for their elopement, than the majestic Portland Head Lighthouse? No crowd, no pomp and circumstance - just the two of them, their immediate families, and grandparents, vowing to start their life together in an intimate and special moment. I love how these two embraced the idea of a small wedding - because sometimes, smaller is better! The setting of Portland Head Lighthouse is such a beautiful space for a wedding! (This photo was taken while assisting Rebekah Wheeler Photography & Design)

Recently I enjoyed a lovely evening wandering around in Capital Park with Cody and Alyssa. When Cody had reached out to me and simply told me he and his girlfriend wanted more than just the selfie pictures they typically get of the two of them and to make memories together I couldn’t have been happier they chose me to take these for them. 📷 And even though their session needed to be rescheduled once or twice because of the rainy weather we’ve been having, this evening in particular was perfect, a true hidden gem - with it being the only day without rain predicted to hit. 🌳
