I am a portrait and landscape photographer with roots in New England, but now soaking up the charm of North Carolina. I’m all about capturing the beauty of sunsets and moments that feel like they will last forever. 📸🌅

There is light in you.. always remember that you are a source of goodness in an otherwise dark, indifferent or unwelcoming circumstance or people 🙏🌅

‘When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things seem extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters’ -Kristen Armstrong

The calm waters of Portland, Maine’s harbor during winter.. watching the hard working fishing boats return for the evening.. grateful for their hard work and the beauty of the moment.

What a view! This was incredible.. we usually can’t see the mountains so clear in the summer.. the cloud deck was just so impressive hanging over them! Have a great week!
