Kelly Roy: Wife, Mother & Photographer: Senior Season/Celebrating the Birth of a Princess: {Southern Maine Photographer}

It's not too late to book your senior session! I still have a few spots available! As we get into the school year, I know more will be calling so if you need me, don't wait!

Last night Emily, her mom Beth and I tip-toed our way through the raindrops! The stormy skies made for amazing photos and I got her a huge variety of great shots to choose from. Here are my faves....

We left one beach and before heading home I suggested we check out the lighting at another just down the road. Gads.....we never expected THIS!!!! I asked Emily to throw on a colorful shirt and look what it did to the skies!!!! Seriously though, she returned from changing in to this pink and the skies were like this - I did NOT edit this photo, nor did I add that stream of rainbow connecting the sky to the water! It was an amazing site! It looked like a water spout just sitting on top of the water like that....as the clouds parted a bit, we followed the rainbow back through and over the tops of homes. Just a gorgeous night to be out!

Emily and Beth, (and my twin Heather who encouraged them to call me) I had a GREAT time chatting the night away with you! I'm excited about the session and hope you like the preview! Thanks so much for choosing me!!

MARLEIGH'S DAY:

Four years ago today, I labored to deliver one of the most beautiful people I know!! Today she flits around in a sparkly white dress (a "wedding dress" she calls it) with new plastic high heels and cardboard tiaras for her sister and cousin to wear. She crawled into my bed yesterday morning asking "Mom, is today my birthday" and I watched her deflate as I told her she'd have to wait one more day. This morning, she climbed quietly into my bed and as I waited in silence for her to ask me again, I looked over and saw her looking up to the ceiling and smiling a big goofy grin. I said "Happy Birthday"....she turned to me still smiling and replied "thank you". Her gaze returned to the ceiling...her smile got bigger and her expression change to relief.....it was here, FINALLY, her day!! I asked: what kind of cake are you wanting today.....(usually we order in advance but this week has been a whirlwind so I'll impose on the nice ladies at the bakery to make something on short order). In one long breath she said: "I'd like Hannah Montana, the kind with her hair is straight down...vanilla with white frosting, I already picked it out, they have it at Walmart, its got pink and some colored sprinkles too......" I asked about ice cream next...."vanilla".... I said: "that's a lot of vanilla...vanilla cake, vanilla frosting, vanilla ice cream". She replied: "oh yah, chocolate ice cream, I can put vanilla cake on my plate over here, and chocolate ice cream on on my cake over there...it will be perfect!

She started at 100 MPH and hasn't stopped yet! We are off to Meemie's to celebrate!!
