Irace Flowers

Over the past few months, I have done several photo shoots of my friend, Mary Irace's beautiful floral designs.  I also created a few short promotional videos with music of her work for her new website.  Mary is so easy to work with and absolutely loves what she does, which really shows up in her work.  She's done over 700 weddings during her time as a floral designer, which is amazing!  I hope you'll take the time to check out her website and my other videos of her work:

All of the photos on her website were taken by me, as well. 

I hope you're all enjoying the Fall.  Thanks for looking as always,

Cindy

Lucerne Inn Panorama

Lucerne Inn's scenic vista above Lucerne Lake near sunset.  An 8 image handheld panorama. Click on the photo to view it much larger.

I was at a wedding at the Lucerne Inn in Dedham, Maine this past Sunday.  What a beautiful, peaceful place to watch this couple join their lives together.  After all the guests had headed to the reception up the hill behind me, I took a quick 8 image panorama.  I love the rich, golden light on the velvety lawn and the rolling hills and lake beyond.  I wish I could be in Downeast Maine more often.

Thanks for looking, Cindy

The American Quarter Horse

Back in June 2011, I was approached by a publishing company called Bellwether Media about a photo I took at a Barrel Racing competition at Andwemet Farm near Brunswick, Maine.  They wanted to use the photo in a book about the American Quarter Horse for children.  I love children's books and I was really excited about this, so along with a monetary payment for the photo, I also arranged to have a contributor's copy of the book. 

It just arrived the other day and it looks great!  My scans of it, unfortunately DON'T look so great, but you will get the general idea:

Here is a picture of the cover, which I did not take:

You can see the entire gallery of my Andwemet Farm shots here.

Thanks for looking,
