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. 📸🌅

A gentle sunset of pastel colors over the ocean where the surf meets the sand.
There is light in you.. always remember that you are a source of goodness in an otherwise dark, indifferent or unwelcoming circumstance or people 🙏🌅

Serene sunset over the ocean with a mountain in the background.

Colorful umbrellas hanging over a walkway light by white light at night.
Hanging umbrellas signify protection, shelter and unity.. seems fitting for these times.

The calm waters of Portland Harbor, Maine at sunset. Bug Lighthouse illuminated by soft, golden light. Beautiful pink and blue hues streak through the sky.

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.
The sun dramatically setting in the sky, clouds streaking in a beautiful pattern, over a historical barn on the grounds of The Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Massachusetts.

A serene winter scene, low cloud deck hanging over the mountains on Long Lake, Maine.
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!

A colorful vivid sunset sky over the picturesque waterfront of Southport, North Carolina.
Southport, NC.. a ‘movie set’ town and so beautiful under the sunset afterglow!
