Every year the windows of downtown Portland, Maine come alive with decor. Portland Downtown has invited us for the last few years to spend a few nights photographing all of the hard work and unique creativity found in all of the windows around town. The images are shared everywhere with the hopes that you will vote for your favorite windows! Here is the link to the contest.

Feel free to contact us about any of the images you see here or if you'd like to schedule a photography session with us. 

During the First Friday Art Walk in Portland, Maine, Maine Craft Portland had the most brilliant event. They hosted an opportunity for the best of Maine to play a game of chess with WGM Sabina Foisor. The creative space was filled with strategic chess thinkers and collectors of all things Maine Craft. So basically it was the best party of the night! Here is just one image that we'd like to share with you.

The first Friday Art Walk in Portland, Maine always brings the city to life. During the December art walk, we came upon The Sea Change Chorale in front of the Reny's on Congress Street. They brought all of the classic carols to a captivated audience all while raising the awareness for the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition need for warm clothing items. What a collection of donated items by the end of the night. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with the city and for caring for such a vulnerable group! Bravo! 

On our 2nd day of Cuba, after waking from a wonderful warm sweet rest, we walked through the streets of Havana. 
As I type those previous words, I am still in unbelief. The words are on this virtual page; we walked the streets of Havana. 
It happened. It was a real moment. We were there. It really happened? Yes.
The architecture of the city has markings and evidence of all its days. Some structures still have evidence of last night's party make-up still on. That tough opulent mascara is a pain to erase. Why erase it? 
Other areas of the city are hungry for new and the word yes. Like the arts district. Full of new, unruly, seasoned but with a new spice.
The parks are filled with local life. The now. The news. The updates. The gossip. The friendship. The warmth. 
We stayed out all day and watched the sun kiss all the areas of Havana, us included too!

We spent a wonderful morning creating a comprehensive photography collection for our friends at Diversions in South Portland, Maine. Take a few moments to experience all of the imagery and fantastic merchandise inside. There is now an interactive 360 degree virtual tour of the entire retail space, a handful of still images that showcases the space and the variety of items available for purchase, and a lovely image of the exterior. Our images offer a variety of great purposes for our clients. They can use these images for all of their promotional visual needs. The photographs are hosted across different media platforms and new customers can familiarize themselves before they even physically walk inside. It stirs up the excitement and the pride we feel photographing such wonderful items continues to grow in the neighborhood. Customers are already doing the research for great gift ideas for loved ones, and we provided a great collection of images for the research. These customers are going to make a gift shop stop for sure!

Maple Sunday at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Maine. 

Thankful for the partnership formed between Evergreen Subaru, Greater Androscoggin Humane Society. They planned a wonderful afternoon where all of these puppies could find a loving home. 

We were honored to photograph all of the wonderful moments of love at first sight. We hope the best for all of the families that took home a little puppy. They have their hands full. Lots of love to go around no doubt!
