I have held back from blogging because I wanted to show you those changes, but I also appreciate you still checking in on me.  It's been cold in Maine.  We haven't had a break even for the snow to melt.  We're anticipated to get 40 degree temps this weekend and I think everyone in the area is pretty pumped over that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can hardly believe it's already the first week of February and school breaks are in a week.  The time is flying and I know that before I blink I will be starting to take Senior Portraits and Wedding Season will be in full tilt.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, check back soon!  I'm looking forward to seeing more of all of you this year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a photo(s) I took of my oldest daughter over the New Year's when we were brave enough to step outside for a short session.  I know they're almost the same image, but I like both the vertical and the horizontal and just could not choose between them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shannon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SYy0Aj4mzcI/AAAAAAAACYA/-e2xAonuxS8/s1600-h/_MG_0039Editwmbw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SYy0Aj4mzcI/AAAAAAAACYA/-e2xAonuxS8/s400/_MG_0039Editwmbw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299808783233895874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SY9sc-WEH8I/AAAAAAAACYQ/VWbUOaWJWs0/s1600-h/_MG_0053bwwmEditb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SY9sc-WEH8I/AAAAAAAACYQ/VWbUOaWJWs0/s400/_MG_0053bwwmEditb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300574531466043330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/457747540214765060-3427403058638364766?l=shannonpost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shannonpost.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-changes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Shannon Post)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SYy0Aj4mzcI/AAAAAAAACYA/-e2xAonuxS8/s72-c/_MG_0039Editwmbw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457747540214765060.post-204077108671635300</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-01-22T16:04:31.608-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Wedding Photography</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Beautiful Maine Weather</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Snow</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Maine Wedding Photography</category><title>Blog catch up...</title><description>I am still alive!  I know that I've had a few people call to confirm that since I have not blogged in so long (my mother included).  It's nice to be missed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The holidays were very nice and I've been busy meeting and speaking with the most amazing brides and grooms.  I cannot wait to photograph their incredible weddings this year.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The snow is deep and the day is sunny.  So, I'm going to go enjoy the last bit of it.  I will definitely be catching up very soon and back to blog mode!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SXjfLV4a1vI/AAAAAAAACWg/a7wizwpJu94/s1600-h/_MG_0181wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SXjfLV4a1vI/AAAAAAAACWg/a7wizwpJu94/s400/_MG_0181wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294226747919357682" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a shot I took after we received a lovely 14" of snow earlier this week.  This is the time of year that I truly enjoy where we live.

I can blame the holidays and I will, but I am still guilty.  So, after this session with these beautiful sisters, I was inspired to get back on the horse and blog again.  The session was for the oldest daughter's freshman photos (yes, high school, not college), but we thought it would be fun to have  her younger sister in a few of the photos.  &lt;br /&gt;I love and miss my sisters daily, so I couldn't imagine not including a few sister portraits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SUEXKO0KnwI/AAAAAAAACQI/MBZ_XDL2Wbs/s1600-h/_MG_0109wmcEdit2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

I don't mind the change of season because I know it only means the holidays are coming with lots of time with family and friends.  I do mind because I can't do as many portrait sessions outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, with Christmas just weeks away, I wanted to let everyone know that the cut off for ordering prints and receiving them before Christmas is December 15th.  If you have had a session with me this year (or last) and want to order more prints to give as holiday gifts, please contact me as soon as possible.  This tends to be a busy time for ordering!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do have custom holiday Christmas cards too!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself have not starting my holiday shopping so this is as much a note to myself to get moving!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SSFyK-pukGI/AAAAAAAACMg/4wBGWBkkWr4/s1600-h/_MG_0266wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SSFyK-pukGI/AAAAAAAACMg/4wBGWBkkWr4/s400/_MG_0266wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269618571942465634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took these photos a few days ago and know just next week how different it is going to look outside.

My husband was in Japan and I was in labor.  We even have some pretty funny stories about me (in labor) being patched to him through the radio where most of the base could hear (and later told us about hearing it). The best part - six hours from now I gave birth to my first beautiful baby girl!  I'm so proud of her!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As cliche as it sounds, I cannot believe I have a sixteen year old daughter!  It really does go so quickly!  AND Yes, I do remember the day she was born like it was yesterday.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday, I LOVE you to pieces and I hope you have a wonderful sixteenth year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm43n0XhkI/AAAAAAAACLQ/R3x4kzEXS-s/s1600-h/IMG_0887wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm43n0XhkI/AAAAAAAACLQ/R3x4kzEXS-s/s400/IMG_0887wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262940905280079426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm5iuPCyVI/AAAAAAAACLg/sfkg7XfM5QY/s1600-h/IMG_0664wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm5iuPCyVI/AAAAAAAACLg/sfkg7XfM5QY/s400/IMG_0664wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262941645736954194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm5MVkYyQI/AAAAAAAACLY/aMER43hmNic/s1600-h/IMG_0530bwwmEditb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm5MVkYyQI/AAAAAAAACLY/aMER43hmNic/s400/IMG_0530bwwmEditb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262941261158467842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has since had her braces removed and I wish I had a photo to post with that. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much, Much Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/457747540214765060-7323141745753421196?l=shannonpost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shannonpost.blogspot.com/2008/10/happy-16th-birthday.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Shannon Post)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SQm43n0XhkI/AAAAAAAACLQ/R3x4kzEXS-s/s72-c/IMG_0887wmEdit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457747540214765060.post-4290674671655050345</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-27T15:39:28.472-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Bowdoin College</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Brunswick</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Mt.

These guys are making my job easy with all their good looks and charm.  We started in Topsham and then took a few portraits in Brian's back yard.

The wedding was in Freeport, Maine at the Harraseeket Inn. When you first drive into Freeport (which anyone who has been to Maine knows about Freeport, home of L.L.

So let's just say I have a lot of guilt at the moment.  I am going to try my best this week to catch up a bit.  Let's see how that goes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received an email from Lake's mother that just made me smile.  She wrote that she met me in my 'about me' section of my website and knew that we would be a perfect fit.  Then after speaking to JoLynn I found out that we're practically neighbors.  She has a wonderful son that I know she is proud of and he was a lot of fun to photograph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqRosAwkKI/AAAAAAAABrY/q5FQQEqvUuk/s1600-h/IMG_0203wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqRosAwkKI/AAAAAAAABrY/q5FQQEqvUuk/s400/IMG_0203wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254172043476242594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOp_Y5Pzx0I/AAAAAAAABrA/QAaeSrD1rNY/s1600-h/IMG_0507wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOp_Y5Pzx0I/AAAAAAAABrA/QAaeSrD1rNY/s400/IMG_0507wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254151980941821762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was cloudy through the session, but right as we were finishing the sun peaked out through the clouds and lit up the trees behind us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqFeIJ7BkI/AAAAAAAABrI/r-Yf_JLALh4/s1600-h/IMG_0683wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqFeIJ7BkI/AAAAAAAABrI/r-Yf_JLALh4/s400/IMG_0683wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254158667912775234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqScCOPNPI/AAAAAAAABrg/H_c4lYEbp4A/s1600-h/IMG_0358bwwmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SOqScCOPNPI/AAAAAAAABrg/H_c4lYEbp4A/s400/IMG_0358bwwmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254172925611685106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we finished our session, Lake was telling me what kind of music he liked and just started playing a little as he talked.

At first I was very anxious that this was something I would not be able to do emotionally.  Someone very close to me had recently suffered a miscarriage and was having a tough time healing.  It made me feel helpless, but at the same time it drew me towards joining the organization. God willing, I have been able to volunteer and give a remembrance to families going through such a difficult time.  I have found that it has been a privilege to meet these parents who share their precious babies with me.  I can never understand what these parents are experiencing, but even if it helps a small amount to ease their suffering, it is worth it to me.  I feel fortunate to have been given a gift of being a photographer and am so thankful that I can share it in a way that hopefully helps someone.  I will never forget any of the beautiful babies and parents I have met through this organization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is from the NILMDTS website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SNqmAF5k5DI/AAAAAAAABo4/l8EQepEpkcI/s1600-h/NILMDTS-Foundation-quote-sml(1).gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SNqmAF5k5DI/AAAAAAAABo4/l8EQepEpkcI/s400/NILMDTS-Foundation-quote-sml(1).gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249690836167615538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds its Annual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.

I feel that they are the subject in my photography a lot more than they would prefer, but I was politely informed by my youngest daughter that she had not made an appearance on my blog in several months.  I had to smile to myself that she actually reads my blog.  Because we all know that Moms just aren't cool to teenagers and I am honored that my daughter(s) would take the time to see what I post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as hurricane Hannah made her way across New England, my baby girl and I walked out to a hayfield in front of the house (had to add that because I know some of my Indiana friends will get a chuckle at how remote of an area I now live in) and took some photos by the newly bailed hay.   Do they still call it bailed when it is rolled in a circle?  If anyone knows, please inform me!  I wouldn't want to get that wrong. ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hurricane Hannah was pretty mild.  Please don't think I took my daughter out in a massive hurricane and shot photos of her blowing away.  Luckily, New England didn't see too much of Hannah's fury this time around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SMSQD36GvPI/AAAAAAAABhQ/VRYI065_n5k/s1600-h/IMG_8472wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SMSQD36GvPI/AAAAAAAABhQ/VRYI065_n5k/s400/IMG_8472wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243474262387768562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was playing with a new lens and a very shallow depth of field.

I can't wait to post more photos from the wedding, but here is a quick sneak peek of the gorgeous couple.  The newlyweds are making their long trek to Texas as we speak (driving) and I know they will want to see something when the arrive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris and Lyndsay were married at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine.  Right as they were arriving at the museum and ready to have their 'first look', a trolley was parked in front of the museum.   I asked if we could take a few photos with the trolley.  The gentleman driving the trolley was very gracious in letting us do just that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, Lyndsay is a beautiful bride!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SMROhPyg0eI/AAAAAAAABhA/iy2V8ifyQ_Q/s1600-h/IMG_0012wmEdit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SMROhPyg0eI/AAAAAAAABhA/iy2V8ifyQ_Q/s400/IMG_0012wmEdit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243402199247147490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More later...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much Love,&lt;br /&gt;Shannon&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/457747540214765060-3353362572597518071?l=shannonpost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://shannonpost.blogspot.com/2008/09/wedding-chris-and-lyndsay.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Shannon Post)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WbJ-hGEP9lU/SMROhPyg0eI/AAAAAAAABhA/iy2V8ifyQ_Q/s72-c/IMG_0012wmEdit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
