Best Portraits of 2016 | Maine Senior Portraits & Maine Engagement Photography

Now that our Christmas tree is down and the dust has settled from the chaos of the holidays, it's time for one of my favorite blog posts! First up is a post featuring the best senior portraits and engagement photography we created in 2016.

We traveled to Bar Harbor, Stockton Springs, Portland, Freeport, Edgecomb, Cape Elizabeth, and Stonington, Maine to create these. We also got to go to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Newburyport, Massachusetts. Our job takes us all over. We love it! Discovering new favorite places is just one of the many perks that come with it.

In this post, you will find engagement photos, senior portraits, a lifestyle session, and a few portraits we took of each other. I tend to make Joel model whenever I want to try something new, and Joel took some portraits of me to go along with a song I released last summer. 2016 was a great year!

Thank you so much to all our clients who trusted us to document these important moments for them. We have met some pretty incredible people and can't wait to add more to the Hailey & Joel family in 2017.

Happy New Year!
