A little late December sunrise light for you to enjoy. .

 It was such a beautiful, tranquil morning at Old Orchard Beach a day before Christmas Eve.  There were only two other people on the beach with my husband and I, and there was a real hush to the air, other than the sound of the waves lapping the sand over and over.  Also, for those of you not used to Maine latitude, sunrise this time of year is WELL after 7 am!  It was no hardship to get up for this, despite how early it looks.

The next shot was interesting to me, because I had never noticed ANY lighthouses while looking out from the beach at Old Orchard.  I put on my 300mm lens and took this very tiny picture of what turned out to be Wood Island Light, off the Biddeford Pool Road.  The clouds look so big and tall and the color so deep orange, but it is only because I am zoomed in so far that I am only looking at the small strip of orange you see in the picture above on the horizon.

This shot made me the happiest of the morning, because moments after the sun rose, it looked to me like a brilliant little egg, nesting in the soft, purply clouds on the horizon.  And the light was magnificent and golden!

I liked this shot, because the light looks almost Caribbean to me--the temperatures were NOT Caribbean though--it was a "balmy" 26 degrees farenheit.

Stonington's Sand Beach at Sunset

I had a great Thanksgiving holiday in Deer Isle with my mother and family this year--I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgivings too!  I also got a chance to go out twice and shoot in some beautiful light conditions.  The first night I got there (I hate to say "night", as the sun set at 4:09pm!!!  Ugh!)
The light was magnificent well before sunset and became very interesting after sunset.

I will have more to come either this week or next, and I may even share a scarily humorous story about the second shoot, so stick around!

I went out early yesterday morning (very early!) and got some nice shots of pre-dawn light at Falmouth Town Landing.  Thanks for looking!

STILL processing shots from my Autumnal trips!

I know it's been weeks of Autumnal images from Western Maine, but do you think you can stand a few more?  ;-)  It's just that driving around Western Maine, it's very hard not to trip over beautiful vistas every couple of miles (or even closer sometimes!)

Thanks for taking the time to look.  I hope you'll also consider sharing my blog with your friends and family, as this is the way I get the word out there about my work!

Time spent in Deer Isle, Maine

Deer Isle, Maine is definitely one of my muses as a photography subject.  It's hard to go anywhere on the island without seeing something beautiful, honestly.  If you just show up for the right light, you're almost guaranteed to find something beautiful to shoot!  Over the past few months, these are some of the photographs I've taken while visiting my mother there. 

Please feel free to share my blog posts with your friends and contacts at will.  Also, take a moment to look at my website when you get a chance (below).  Cheers!

Sunset at Willard Beach

Over the past couple of weeks, I drove over to South Portland's Willard Beach's sweet little shacks several times, hoping to get great sunset light.  The first two times, despite the clouds being gorgeous in Portland, as I drove over, it completely clouded up and rained!  But the third time, THIS night, I was rewarded with some really magical light.  I'm so glad, because I love these little fishing shacks.
