Summer Portraits in Sargentville, Maine

Following their Bar Harbor Club wedding, my photo sessions with Mallory, Chris, and their family transitioned to summer portraits in Sargentville, Maine. This annual gathering in July became a tradition, but they couldn't make it last year due to Covid. Reuniting with them after two years in July was a mix of strangeness and excitement, especially since they had welcomed a new family member, their son, during the interim.

I exclusively capture family sessions for past wedding clients, as the minimal posing aligns with our preference for spontaneous, candid moments. Our wedding clients understand and appreciate this style, making each family session unique and enjoyable. During my latest visit, Parker had to be roused from a nap, and Eloise displayed a funny mood—hesitant to be in photos yet unwilling to be left out. We let her roam freely, popping in and out of pictures as she pleased, showcasing the delightful personalities of little kids in various stages. The family embraces the authentic moments, understanding that not every shot needs to be perfectly posed. Mallory's perspective sums it up: "If there’s one good one of them, I’m happy."

When revisiting albums, these candid, imperfectly perfect moments become cherished memories, reflected upon with laughter. Embracing the essence of letting kids be kids, here are some favorites from our time together.
