A classic look for a stormy afternoon on Eastern Promenade in Portland, Maine. We created a wonderful collection of portraits for this senior. Class of 2021 have had a very unusual year globally but their strength and resilience comes through these images like never before. This class has seen so much, gone through a lot, and are destined for good things ahead. Creating a graduates portrait marks the year of being catapulted into their future and we are so excited to document this time in their life.

Bar Harbor in June

1/18/2021

We have visited Bar Harbor, Maine several times. It’s probably in my top 5 Maine destinations. We love it when it’s busy and filled with tourists from all around the world. And we love it when we are the only people visible.

Oftentimes, we are there on business. We spend a part of the day photographing for our client and then try to sneak in a stroll through the trails or enjoy a meal by the water.

On this particular day in June, we had begun to experience some restlessness. So we went for a drive, followed by a slow stroll through Bar Harbor. That day was so quiet. No one in sight. Not much was open. And in this quiet, she shined, so brightly. Welcoming us with her cool ocean breeze. So we explored. We breathed. We relaxed and took in the vista.

The photographs you see here are a collection from Cyle Davenport and Liz Davenport. As travel photographers, we know it’s important to share visually through photographs the roads we have had the opportunity to travel. We would love to share that moment with you through our photographs. Please enjoy!

Vista of Maine in Greene, Maine

1/15/2021

We fell in love with the most charming venue in Greene, Maine. There is a cidery and a tasting room. There is also a large apple orchard with a breath taking view of Maine. The original home is available too. One of the living areas has the original wallpaper that is over 100 years old. It's a spectacular fun place filled with so much history. We had such a great time photographing Vista of Maine.

Portrait Session

1/8/2021

Class of 2021! Congratulations! You are doing such a great job! Hang in there!

We want to celebrate you and all of your accomplishments by creating your senior portrait!

Creating a photography collection is a great way to commemorate this time in a students life. Portraits can define the moment, your last year of school, and the excitement for the road ahead.

For this particular portraits session we selected a cloudy afternoon on the Eastern Prom to capture as much natural light and glow from Casco Bay. The light comes in and creates such a nice ambient glow around the graduate. This photography session was probably one of my most favorite sessions that month.

My hope is to always provide a collection of images that the family will treasure forever.

2019 Holiday Window Contest

11/27/2020

Here are few of our favorite holiday displays we photographed for 2019.

We are about to head out tonight and photograph all of the joyful holiday window displays throughout downtown Portland, Maine.

Portland Downtown’s Holiday Window Display Contest is an annual start to the festivities each holiday season. Every year we partner with Portland Downtown as their holiday photographers and have found the joy of the holiday season every time. Each window is so thoughtfully decorated and fun. Portland glows with the abundance of art and creativity.

Tonight we will stroll around downtown and photograph all of the creativity placed in each window. Being part of the holiday window contest has now become Convinced Photography’s holiday tradition and puts us in a jolly holiday mood every year.

Enjoy and stay tuned for 2020’s very soon…

Pacheco Pass, California

blue waters of San Luis Resevoir

San Luis Reservoir, 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.”
