It was a 5 day retreat aboard a cruise ship with a group of 42 women who all work in the visual arts. Talking about the POSH experience is a blog post in itself so I will post about ALL the amazing details later... with tropical photos of course! 

One of the many amazing things that came from this retreat is the following film, Women Create. Inspired by their shared experiences the group spontaneously decided to use their creative gifts to craft a short film illustrating the positive power and passion of women in the film industry. It started as a discussion one night at dinner, rolled into a concept later that night and came together as a shoot the very next day! 

I was so proud to see these women take action and express their shared thoughts. It made me even a wee bit giddy to listen to them prepare for this shoot using terms Dawn and I  spoke about at our presentation!

So ladies, here is your call to action! Get inspired! Go for it! And Create! 

“Because of their age long training in human relations—for that is what feminine intuition really is—women have a special contribution to make to any group enterprise.”   ~ Margaret Mead

After a wonderful sunny summer this year we slowly made our way into fall. With warm days, empty beaches and rich colorful leaves my fall family's couldn't go wrong with any of our favorite portrait spots! 

We are anxiously awaiting the first snow fall to start some of our winter portraits. Fingers crossed that the next several months are equality as beautiful!!

The leaves had turned on the trees and just enough had fallen to the ground to shuffle as you walk.  The native Mainers have opted to take their honeymoon during the winter months  so I promised to get a couple of photos up here for a little peek. 

Congratulations to you both!

Sara joked with me about how she prayed and prayed for 65 degrees and sunshine but neglected to pray about the wind, it was gusting 40 mph!

I had the most amazing time working with these two fantastic families over the last several months. It was the perfect way for me to wrap up my Nantucket wedding season. 

I LOVE when couples see each other before the ceremony! The anticipation! 

The decor was breathtaking! And all in shades of white by Soiree Floral.

Erin and Steve were married on the beach with the ocean as their backdrop on this falls most perfect day yet! Congratulations to you both!

I love that moment before the couple meets at the end of the aisle.  The groom anxiously awaiting, holding his breath and the bride prepping to take the walk down the aisle. Such anticipation!

Every detail was carefully selected, from the custom linens to the surprise groom's cake! The ocean and the sunset were the perfect backdrop for the couple's first dance on the Zen Deck.

My favorite part of the day was stealing them away for their portraits! Melissa looked amazing! I loved the details in her dress and her bouquet, by Soiree Floral, was the perfect compliment!

Melissa and Eric, hope you're having a blast in Bora Bora!  It was a pleasure to work with you! Here's a sneak peek to hold you over until you get back from your honeymoon!
