Maine Vacation Family Portraits

While we were planning our family vacation to Maine I knew it would be a great time to photograph our own family portraits. I wasn’t sure exactly where we would be photographing, so we blocked out two potential dates on our itinerary to make it happen.

After spending 5 days at Acadia, we drove down to Ogunquit for the remainder of our trip. We arrived midday and walked the ocean path. It was calm, peaceful and so beautiful that I knew that was where I wanted our pictures to be. The only problem was that we didn’t have another evening to take them. It would have to be an early morning shoot to avoid the direct sun.

With a little sweet talk, I was able to convince the kids that waking up early the last day of our vacation would be completely worth it in order to give mom the family photos she was hoping for. We ended up spending an hour with our toes dipped in the water, enjoying the empty beach and morning sun. With no source of shade, we had to be mindful of harsh shadows being casted from one another. Overall, I was pleased with our trusty tripod and remote trigger setup. Having professional family photos was the icing on top of an already amazing vacation!

They won’t let me swap them out or move them!

When we moved into our home over 10 years ago, I put framed images of each of our kids above our fireplace. I had the intention of moving them when I found a piece of artwork that worked with the space. 

Time passed and I mentioned to my kids that I would be relocating their elementary portraits. 

I was not expecting their response. All three of them objected to this idea. 

In my mind, I was the one who really cared about our family portraits, especially the framed pictures on our walls. 

It wasn’t until I suggested moving the pictures that I realized how important they were to each of my teenage kids!

To them, those pictures represented their childhood. Those memories were a part of their home, their upbringing and their security within it. 

My eyes were opened to the value of a framed photographed that is prominently displayed in the home. 

It’s not just about looking pretty. It represents emotional depth in a child’s life. Something deeper than we will ever know. 

To all the parents reading this, you NEED framed photographs of your family in your home. 

What would it take in order to make that happen?

Much love,
