Hello and welcome! I have recently relocated to Portland, Maine from Rochester, Minnesota and serve the wedding and portrait photography needs of Maine, Minnesota and beyond. This is the place to check out my most recent work and to get a glimpse into my life. Feel free to take a look around, I'd love to connect with you!
Remember this sweet family?! Not only has Theo grown since our last photo session, he is also about to become a big brother! I’ve decided the only thing better than three McNaughtons is FOUR McNaughtons! Thank you for sharing a beautiful summer evening and your amazing family with me. I cannot wait to meet the littlest love! XOXOX.
Look at this adorable family! There was a lot of sweetness and a little bit of sassy, per the norm in 4 year old life! Throw in an a beautiful farmhouse and some pretty light and well, that’s a good day. : )
Way back in 2010, I took this photo and it is still one of my favorites! Recently, I was on the same Florida beach with the same people so we did our best to recreate the photo despite the youngest subject being about 40lbs heavier…go strong mom! 
Look at this face! I just dare you not to smile! I had a wonderful time following him around Baxter Woods with his mom on a gorgeous (winter, but felt like fall!) day. This sweet little guy is also fighting cancer. If you’d like to follow his journey and show some support along the way, feel free to visit his Team Henry Facebook page here: Team Henry Morgan Facebook Page He’s a fighter and sure looks cute doing it!
Meet Brigham, Bethany and Theo. Quite possibly the most kind, generous, joyful and loving family you’ll ever meet. Oh and adorable too! As I was talking to Bethany about what her hopes for their sessions were, she basically recited part of my mission statement which is: To create photographs which communicate the crazy, chaotic and yet beautiful life to parents now and to their grown children later. These (sometimes really looong) days of Teddy as a toddler will be over in a flash. I hope these images not only bring back memories, but also feelings of what life at this stage is like. A visual reminder of his wispy, baby curls, his sweet little giggle and the way he cuddles in. I hope these images that speak to Teddy as an adult about how much he is loved, because it’s A LOT. You guys are the real deal and it shows in the way you care for each other. I’m SO thankful our paths crossed. XOXOX.
It’s definitely winter here in New England…seriously we have gotten 4+ feet of snow in the past 2 weeks! But it is really beautiful and I think it is sort of magical getting snowed in. And look at this sweet, growing family. Nothing better than a toddler’s excitement of snow and little rosy cheeks!
We are in the midst of a snowstorm here in New England and although it is very pretty, I don’t mind reminiscing about warmer weather last fall… When I was back in South Dakota for Megan + Ben’s wedding, I was lucky to have the very talented, Jael second shoot for me. Seriously!! This lady is amazing…not only is she an awesome photographer, she also has the most beautiful boutique in Brookings (J.Ella Boutique) and a new one about to open in Sioux Falls! And not only that, but just look at how adorable her little family is! Throw in an old South Dakota farm and an antique truck and well, that’s a good day.
Tricia and Mike’s engagement session and wedding were some of my first shoots after moving to the East Coast and hold some great memories for me! So I was super excited to visit them in Boston again for some updated photos of their beautiful and growing family! They have added 2 sweet boys who could not be cuter. Add in the first babies (their dogs!) and some beautiful fall color and that makes for a great day! XOXO.
Remember this adorable family from last year? It’s appropriate that I am posting this near Thanksgiving because we are still so grateful for this Minnesota/Maine family. Clara affectionately refers to Kjelten as Cho Cho and Ike smothers Moose with more kisses than necessary. Thank you for your continued friendship and for being our personal tour guides here in Maine. Also, these were taken at Two Lights State Park and I highly recommend adding it to your Maine To Do List…
One of the perks of living in such a beautiful place is that people come to visit! Our good friends Amanda, Kevin and their 2 sweet and adorable kids drove all the way from Minnesota last week. They were doing some other visiting on the East Coast and I think their final milage total was somewhere close to 4000 miles. WITH TWO KIDS! Whoa… Anyway, we didn’t have much time to show them Maine so we did the best we could and brought them to a rocky beach and ate a lobster roll afterwards. (Well, some of us did. I will never truly fit in here because I don’t like lobster. Shhh.) The beauty of this place will never get old nor does time spent with dear friends.
