Kaisa, Maine High School Senior class of 2018

One of my favorite senior sessions this year has been with Kaisa, a senior at Oxford Hills. We started at the studio with hair and makeup by Allie Roberge of Tagli Salon.
We did some photos outside as the skies got cloudier, then we headed to a special location near their house.


Shortly after we left the studio, the rain started. We drove through rain the whole half hour to our destination, but as we turned down the narrow country road leading to the photo spot, the rain stopped and the sun came out. The timing couldn’t have been better.

The location for these photos was spectacular — A private property with a field overlooking fantastic mountain views, a barn and wooden fence, gazebo, pond… everything one could ask for.





And of course my favorite part of the session — when Kaisa’s dog, Leo, made a guest appearance. I just love these.


Kaisa’s mom describes her as outgoing with a sarcastic sense of humor, friendly and happy.
She plans on going into the medical field but isn’t sure just what she wants to do yet. She loves to wear dresses, but you’ll most often find her wearing her Birkenstocks with them.

Thanks for a great time, Kaisa and Kathy (and Leo)!
Thanks for bringing me to such a wonderful location, and for being willing to stay out in the light rain at the end.
AND I’m excited that I get to photograph Kaisa’s brother’s wedding next year, at the same great private property!

Danielle, class of 2018

Danielle is a senior at Poland Regional High School. We had a great time, starting with hair and makeup here at the studio (by Allie Roberge of Tagli Salon). Danielle has gorgeous hair, skin and eyes, and she totally rocks her glasses. She loves the outdoors, so we embraced nature and also incorporated what I would call a little ‘country glam’.

We did some family combinations first, then a bunch with her beautiful dog before we concentrated on just her. She brought a lot of personal touches, including some of her artwork since she likes to paint.
These are just a few of my many favorites…

Thanks for a great session, Danielle!

Samantha, Oxford Hills Class of 2016

Samantha is one of a string of beautiful and vibrant young women I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this summer. The camera loves her.
And THOSE EYES. Wow. I did nothing in Photoshop to enhance them, they really are all blue and soulful and expressive like that.
Samantha considers herself outdoorsy and athletic. She enjoys camping and loves playing soccer. She’s truly a natural beauty.
And I haven’t even mentioned that hair. How did one person get all that thick, beautiful hair?  It’s not quite fair, is it.
Her mom says she loves Samantha’s enthusiasm…she puts her all into everything she does.  She wanted her senior photos to look natural and outdoorsy. Thanks to makeup artist Sara for Samantha’s gorgeous look that brings out her eyes while keeping that natural beauty at the forefront.
Samantha says her favorite thing about herself is her work ethic.  She plans to join a college ROTC program and major in nursing. I have no doubt she will succeed in whatever she puts her mind to.
I can tell that she’s just awesome that way.
Samantha is a soccer goalie and like everything she does she puts 100% into it. And apparently looks very good while doing it. : )
Thanks for the great photo session, Samantha, and enjoy your senior year!

Whitney, class of 2015

Aaaahhhh, gorgeous.

Whitney is a senior at Oxford Hills. She’s a country girl, easy-going, friendly, outdoorsy and has a great smile.

She enjoys fishing, four-wheeling, field hockey, and has quite a collection of cowboy boots.

We went to the river…love the headband!

How cool is this?

Like I said before, gorgeous.

Thanks to Whitney and her mom for a great session and making my job easy.
