Crafting Memories: Portrait Photography and the Art of Blending Scenery with Personality

As a portrait photographer, there's nothing quite like the thrill of capturing the unique essence of my clients against the breathtaking backdrop of a new destination. It's a delicate dance between highlighting the beauty of the scenery and showcasing the personality of the individuals in front of my lens. In this blog post, I'll share how I merge the art of portrait photography with the stunning landscapes of each location, creating timeless images that tell stories of both place and person.

Father's Day

Dads are our superheroes! There’s nothing like a dad teaching a toddler to fly; and there’s nothing like a photo to distill the feeling of complete trust and utter elation on that kiddo’s face.

Beach season has begun!

We started the session off with some cute portraits but by the end of the session, they were making up their own silly candid poses (the last one is my fav)! Such a great way to begin the beach season!

The Beaubien Family

Every photo shoot, like every family, has its own story, and one of my favorite parts about my job is getting to witness the uniqueness of the people I shoot.
