Cooper Family Maternity Shoot

Yesterday I traveled to Lewiston to do a maternity shoot with Anna and Josh who are expecting Joshua Michael Cooper at the end of November!  You can tell just how much they are in love as couple and now to be adding this little bundle of joy to their family...how can you not just smile =)  I am looking forward to meeting "mini-cooper" soon and doing his newborn pictures as well!

This was my first maternity shoot and I am proud to say it really went very well...I think there is some confusion that pregnant women have that when you say "Maternity Shoot" they all of a sudden think I'm going to make them lift up their shirt and have them show me their belly!  If they want to be that bold I have no problem shooting it...but I will only do what SHE is comfortable with.  Everything I do is tastefully done in my opinion.  Even though the Mom may not feel like she is the most beautiful creature in the world she is glowing and beautiful because she is carrying new life in there!  It is my goal to capture that moment so that she can look back and remember a moment in time that is a stepping stone to changing her life forever.  The moment she is Mom.  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot! 

Will's Senior Portrait Sneak Peak

On Monday I did Will's Senior Pictures!  It was a very exciting and unique shoot.  Will's good friend was kind enough to bring along a 1940 Ford Deluxe that he had borrowed from his grandfather's collection.  What a beauty!  Almost made me want to go back to high school just so I could have my pictures done in front of such an amazing vehicle ;) hahaha NOT!  Anyways...we had beautiful weather and the changing leaves added to the backdrop.  Couldn't have asked for a smoother shoot and Will was full of smiles =)  Again I have the issue of trying to pick my favs out of so many good ones!  I am just putting a few on here...the rest will be on facebook and my website.  ESTANLEYPHOTOGRAPHY.COM  Enjoy! =)

Jessica and Mike's Wedding Sneak Peak

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Mike's wedding in Spruce Head.  Such a wonderful couple and obviously so in love!  The weather was beautiful for a brisk fall day and the colors just beginning to show.  I would like to thank Jessica and Mike for allowing me to be a part of their special day =)  Here are a few (okay I had too many favs) so here are a bunch of my favs ;)

Tiffany and Justin Wedding Sneak Peak

Despite the icky rain we endured on Saturday the wedding seemed to go off without a hitch!  It was so obvious that these two were so in love and I feel so priveledged to have been a part of their very special day.  I would like to thank you both for putting the memories of your special day in my hands.  I am still new at this and every experience is a learning experience for me.  So here are a few of my favorites from the day.
