Where Have I Been???

Gosh......my life these last few days has been a whirlwind of activities but I've just gotta share some big news.....

You've seen their engagement session, their wedding photos and just recently her maternity photos.....Welcome Baby: Jaden William...he's a 10 POUNDER!!!!! I was honored to photograph the birth of my cousin Jason and his wife Heather's baby boy! It was an amazing time...and incredibly fun because I hung out with my family waiting for his arrival!

After his bath, he attempted to open his eyes.....and there I was with the flash to shut them again.....he cried and I felt bad...

And here is the photo of the night......Jason delivered his first son.....look at his face!! He did such a great job! Is this a precious shot or what? I was shooting over Heather's tummy - doc gave me the best stool in the room (he definately gets a copy of this for his corkboard!)

Sorry if these are too graphic for some....but it was such an incredible thing to witness...I HAD to share!

Enjoy!

Kids are CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER in a MILLION years would I have thought I'd have baby goats in my studio! They look like little deer.... These sweet girls are named Salt & Pepper and they are all of five days old! Still have umbilical cords!!

Cute or what? Lots of pets lately....its good because I want to build my pet portfolio! Marleigh was my helper again....

I'm running back outside to enjoy this beautiful day!

Enjoy!

Chocolate............

Not the kind you eat.....the color!!!

This is my brother's dog....Ruger. He's about 8 months old and a beauty! Marleigh was with us in studio and had so much fun sharing treats with him.

See what I mean...........

I can't get the women in Maine to think about boudoir photography.....so my friend Jen thinks I should focus on pets.....

Enjoy!

Makenna's confusion.....

This morning she says to me "for some reason, at school they make me put an R at the end of my name and I don't know why". Me: "because your last name is Roy honey". Her reply: "oh, that makes sense".


Okay, we are better than halfway through the school year and this is just dawning on her. Poor girl, she's not as apparently clever as her male siblings and I'm afraid I am to blame! I have those moments too...just sheer stupidity! I remember being VERY young and during mass at church with timing as appropriate as any youngster, I was asking my mom how they knew boy babies from girl babies and she kept saying "think about it, you know". Seriously, I remember thinking......was it the eyes? Then when she told me they look under the diaper, I felt so incredibly stupid...I bet I didn't ask questions for a LONG time! I still have these brain cramps - and often its entertainment for Jean! I swear sometimes I'm totally out to lunch!

I'm holding hopes this child of mine has not gotten too many of my genes and has some book smarts! If not, at least she's a looker! (I'm totally kidding, she's a smart girl who is eager to learn to read!) I love my Kenna girl....she knows me best!


A few weekends ago Cam wrapped up his regular hockey season with tournaments. I attended a few of them - I so love to watch him play! I gave him strict instructions to play hard and get a goal for me.....which he did!!!! Here he is (red #17) smakin' it past the goalie...
I love how the sticks go straight up in celebration......

.....and the goal maker makes his way around the ice beaming with pride....

....his team congratulates him....

....he returns to box and waves at his momma....(I was too busy waving back and missed the wave but you can see he's watching me snap the photos).

I'm off for an appointment at the studio!

Enjoy!

Fathers & Daughters

My super cute expecting momma allowed me to photograph her super cute daughter and handsome hubby for my Father/Daughter book!!!! So many have participated and I'm thrilled to pieces with them! Thank you all!!!!!

Only a handful of sessions remain for my Easter special!! I haven't even sent it out via email yet (will do that tomorrow) and already have select sessions left - I guess the word is getting out - about my ability to chase small children and capture at least ONE good shot in a 30 minute time-span! (lots of experience with four of my own) I'm so excited!!!! My first ever Spring Special...oh, did I mention the theme?? A Garden Party!!

Enjoy!

Monday, Monday!

Yesterday Maine was blessed with 55 degrees and sunshine all day (was actually like that both Saturday and Sunday...how lucky are we)!! We decided to take a drive to get out for a bit...our children are coming into the ages where traveling with them can be a chore sometimes but the promise of pier fries made the trip a bit less harried. Jean likes to ride down through Camp Ellis. Its a cove of sorts along the coast and when the storms kick up the seas, this little town really suffers the wrath of Mother Nature. The coast has eroded so much that there have been homes lost into the sea.

Yesterday though....I was glad I brought my camera (as always).....

You can still see small islands of snow in the water....

The birds were loving the low-tide.

On our way out on the one-way street through the tiny town, I saw this stairway (most homes are built higher than others here because of the water damage). I loved how welcoming all the buoy's looked and the colors were so awesome and inviting!

Mother Nature played a cruel trick on us - she gave us beautiful hopes of spring this weekend and today 3 inches of snow!!!! Its so unfair, just as the roads clear enough to go for a walk that isn't a mess to walk in, we get more snow!

Enjoy!

Super cute Momma-to-be!

Is she adorable or what?

This is session was so fun! A spunky fun mom who isn't sure if I'll get newborn photos of her baby...because she's afraid he will look like Yoda! But look at her, her beautiful daughter and that handsome hubby she's got - no way she's giving birth to Yoda! Regina, I sure am hopin' you change your mind and give me a shot at that new baby!!!

This sweet thing is a bit older than Marleigh....she showed up in a tu-tu and super cute "big sister" shirt on.

Regina does "at home spa parties" I NEVER knew there was such a thing! (I'm sheltered here). I've already pressured her to get back to work when that baby's all settled in....I want the spa to come to me...and my gal pals!

I'm off with the princess to run some errands and "stuff". Did I make a note here that she's on a wedding kick....ever since I did photos of Stephanie in the snow, Marleigh is talking about getting married. She's got her eyes set on my friend Robyn's teenage son (who gets red in the face when Marleigh tries to plant a kiss on him). She tells me we need to get her "married dress" fixed....it has some holes in it from playing dress-up! I'm tellin' ya...every home needs one of these for when the power goes out - she's ON all the time and the entertainment is priceless!

Enjoy!
