I am in need of a new head shot for my web site so I turned to my good friend and fantastic photographer Geneve Hoffman. Instead of the standard studio head shot we decided to create some “scenes” that hopefully express who I am and what Beautiful Days is all about. I packed up the car with flowers, cherries, champagne, tulle, paper lanterns and a picnic and my husband Daytes and our son Wyatt followed with one of our old cruiser bikes. Our first stop was Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier in Kittery Point. This is my favorite spot for fries and a lobster. The photos turned out bright, fun, a little whimsical, and very special…what more does someone need for a great celebration than a gorgeous setting , champagne (in a can!), lobster (rolls), cherries and blueberry pie (with extra whip cream please!). After Chauncey (and eating all the fries!) we headed down the road to Seapoint Beach….low tide, sun setting through the sea grass, the beach almost to ourselves….perfect! Our shoot definitely came together more organically on the beach and I was just so happy to have a picnic with my family and dear friend on a beautiful late spring evening.

I haven’t picked a shot yet so I welcome your vote!

Arranging flowers on site at Chauncey Creek. Sunflowers, proteas, oncidium orchids, calla lilies and wired orange cherries.

A little funky, a little modern....love the cherries!

Dinner!

With sunglasses?

Or without?

LOVE the colors and textures!

Hitting the beach - this is honestly not staged! This is how I am on site for every party - arms full and ready to put it all together!

My boys!

Geneve wanted to play around so I indulged her! The skirt is actually my prom dress which I just can't part with.

Our little family - just missing the dog.

It doesn't get any better than this!
