Ocean Optical in Gloucester, Massachusetts

We have been partnering with Google Business Photos since the beginning of the program, about 9 years now. It is such an awesome visual tool for business owners to have. Especially medical offices. We have seen that patients really appreciate seeing all of the visual details of a medical space before they have the opportunity to walk in the door. A photography session is the perfect way to showcase the professionalism of an optometrist office and the comfort taken in to making the patience feel right at home. Have a look at just a few of the images we created for them here.

Bow Street Beverage in Portland, Maine

We had such a great time working with the folks at Bow Street Beverage.
​My God, what an inventory of beverages!

Anything you could possibly imagine, they most likely will have. We have been several times to purchase our own beverage for festivities, but this time, I got a personal tour of the warehouse. Holy Moly! The inventory does not disappoint.

As a retail photographer and the photographer for Bow Street Beverage, we made sure to highlight all of the unique parts of the business. Obviously, we wanted to photograph the large inventory of beer, wine, and spirits. It was also key to photograph the notes found throughout the shelves of ideas, tips, and flavor profiles of several of the bottles; and because they care so much about their clients, we made sure to highlight the unique tasting room.

We wanted to showcase that there really is something for everyone. You can quickly come in and pick up your favorite drink or can linger about, taste something new, and learn about all the great items Bow Street has. These photos naturally and professionally invite you in the world of Bow Street. Welcome! Enjoy!

RiRa in Portland, Maine

Rí Rá Portland has a lot of history for me. During my first visit to Portland, Maine, we gathered with loved ones and enjoyed a lovely meal by the water. Over time it has grown to be one of our favorite spots and have often enjoyed a hearty meal and beer. ​

On my most recent visit, Rí Rá became one of our clients and we had the wonderful opportunity to photograph so many new menu items for Fall 2020. Here are a few images of that photography session. ​

We love working with restaurants right around the corner from our home here in Portland, Maine. The Old Port is the core foodie area of Portland, Maine and there really is something for everyone. Today, we chose Irish deliciousness! Rí Rá thank you again for making such heart warming meals! You help us survive through the cold winter. ​







​Chef did an incredible job of offering traditional Irish pub fare with the best quality ingredients. Tradition meets new and it is so flavorful.

Pacheco Pass, California

San Luis Reservoir, California
Note: these images were photographed a year prior to the lighting storms of 2020 which caused devastating fires throughout California. The large fires created so much smoke that the entire country was covered in a smokey fog for several days
Photography is often at the apex of all celebrations and most tragedies. It often provides convincing evidence of hope and is a foundational when considering a solution to many of the world's issues. A photograph can most simply and miraculously transcend us to the familiar and unknown; It’s a powerful duo, the human and the camera.

​This particular body of work is deeply personal. As a native of California, HYW 152 and the San Luis Reservoir are indicative of two symbolic recurring situations that most Californias can probably resonate with. The first, if you are going through Pacheco Pass you are on some kind of road trip. The second, if you are a Californian, you pay close attention to the water line to measure how well we are doing and if there will be a drought that year. It can be a very exciting time if the water lines are topped off and a very sobering unspoken sadness in the car if they are low. Personally I have experienced both and in more recent times the drought is frequent if not annually now.

As I present these images of the San Luis Reservoir, I am asking you to go on a road trip with me. Imagine if you will, the windows rolled down, and the warm wind gently turns your glance towards the reservoir water along the Pacheco Pass with me. Is it a good year? Will there be a drought? I can’t tell you how many times we have said “Main, it’s so dry right now. I sure hope there isn’t a fire this year.”

Screening Day

Sierra Leone 2011

It’s taken a long time for me to post any images of that day. The 2011 medical screening was held at the national stadium in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was not a successful day. It was not a good day. For those of us that were there and in the thick of it, the moments still haunt us, like bright flashes of light in a dark room. Permanently bright intolerable pops of moments in our mind, hitting us when we least expect it to happen. 

I am in no way a medical professional, I am a photographer and photographed what I saw. In the midst of the unnecessary tragedies I witnessed a few heroes, my amazing friends, going above and beyond their training and abilities to try to bring life back to the community, literally. 

My deepest condolences everyday and forever to the local people of Sierra Leone who experienced this tragedy due to the failures of being unprepared, and inconsiderate to your needs. I am very sorry.

We are sharing a few selected photographs from the fresh and authentic menu of Ameera in Portland, Maine. The menu is incredibly bright, aromatic, and so tasty. ​

Ameera's Falafel Plate
If you live in Portland, you most likely have already had a meal from Ameera. It’s a classic favorite for locals. Ameera is part of the grand restaurant traditions of Portland. The tradition is to provide the freshest and most authentic dishes possible. ​

We met Ryan, who has recently taken over the family’s business. He is excited about the restaurant and has implemented lots of newness. We found his energy to be so energizing because he cares about each dish and gives such attention to everything related to Ameera.
We are spoiled to live and work in Portland, Maine as photographers. Every day offers a new adventure and a collective collaboration with business owners that makes us so jazzed. To be able to do what we love, photography, story telling, and being a visual encouragement to business owners make us giddy. Our photography says, we care about who you are, what you do, and this here, what we are photographing is so cool, everyone is going to love it! ​
