Being a family photographer is the greatest! I get to see several families, build bonds and relationships and have these families come back to me for more pictures as their family grows. It really is the greatest job, and there is never a dull moment but I will say over time I get to know all my families personally and create works of art for their home. The best part is when I get to see those pictures hanging in their home.

Autism Life

Katie called me one day and decided to take the plunge and have family pictures taken. Now Katie’s family is very unique because they have a son with autism and kids with autism don’t always like taking pictures, but I assured her my work is 100% guaranteed and she didn’t have to pay for them if she was unhappy.

In 2018 the CDC determined approximately 1 in 59 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (1 in 37 boys, and 1 in 151 girls).

I understand how stressful getting family pictures can be, and with a son with autism, there is no telling how things will go, but once they showed up it was such a beautiful adventure. The boys played and I took the pictures to document their love.

Every April, I take part in the Autism Walk in Portland, ME.
