-FAMILY LEGACY-

 
I believe in history, tradition and honoring the legacy that our love and lives create. Six year ago to the day this photo was taken Kevin dropped to one knee in this very canoe to propose to Caroline- the rest is their amazing history!!! I was lucky enough to photograph their engagement shoot, wedding day, maternity session and a newborn session when they welcomed their son Ben into the world- and just last week I was honored to once again document their family as they celebrated Ben's first birthday. These two are such a perfect example of clients turned friends in my life- I can't imaging a greater blessing then their friendship and trust over the years to document their lives and their love as it's grown! #jminstachallenge
My grandfather instilled in me a love of history and family heritage. His love for reassuring and documenting my families roots was contagious. I have books and books of documents and photos that tell the story of where my ancestors came from and who they were. Those images tell the story of my history and my love for family legacy is the lens through which I see the world and the relationships around me. When it comes to documenting a wedding day- I always see the start of a new family- the start of a new legacy. This moment when two lives become one is one of my favorite moments and I loved that @kcraw629 and Ryan chose to surround themselves with just their families to celebrate and honor the start of their lives together and their own family. There is nothing more important then family and when your family grows through marriage it's something worth documenting so that there is a record of this history, this heritage and the love that started your family. #jminstachallenge #springsmithstudios #springsmithstudiosbrides #springsmithstudiosweddings #sssweddings #sssbrides ##mainewedding #maineweddingphotographer #maineweddingphotography #MEWedding #maineweddings #maineintimatewedding #intimatewedding #marryinmaine
Putting the finishing touches on this amazing engagement session this weekend!! Who's weekend isn't better when it starts with some snuggles and a kiss 😘 Happy Weekend!!!!
This is one of my favorite photos from my own wedding day. It's a random candid of my grandfather and my father laughing but to me it's priceless. My grandfather was the sweetest, kindest, smartest and most genuine person this would ever knew. My life wouldn't be what it is without him and to have this photo too look back and see him so happy and so in his element cracking a joke is so precious to me. He and his love of family, history and legacy are a huge part of my inspiration for doing what I do. Thank you @justinmarantz and @marymarantz for capturing this random moment it makes my heart so very happy ❤️
It's that moment just before your lips meet- that moment of anticipation that I love best. It's a moment when all the fears, hesitations and self doubt disappear and you can see the true love and joy that a couple share. It's this stripped down, raw, genuine moments that drive my passion for this job- creating images for my clients that look and feel like them not some pose I check off a list. I believe in creating images where my clients can see themselves as the rest of us do- head over heals in love and beautiful in all our imperfections. It's just like the always wise Miss @marymarantz says " it's about photographing people not poses".
