* emilie inc.: Family portrait with baby Atlas at Laudholm Farm in Wells, Maine

I was so excited to meet little Atlas, just shy of 11 months old.  Almost two years ago, I photographed the lovely little wedding of his parents, Kairsten and Mark, along the river in Kennebunkport.  Still living in Seattle, they flew in for a week of vacation and family fun.  Kairsten's parents live on the road to Laudholm Farm, so it seemed only appropriate that we head there for some photos of the little man.  Kairsten and Mark said Atlas is a shy guy, and while he did have his moments, he was actually kind of a ham for the camera -- of course, when he wasn't busy gnawing on books or his fingers.  Yep, it's that stage! 

I love when couples keep in touch and have me continue to document their lives for other big events after their wedding day and as their families grow.  It's a pretty cool thing to witness.  Can't wait to see Atlas the next time - walkin' and talkin'!

* emilie inc.: Wedding of Kairsten + Mark at the Community House in Kennebunkport, Maine

It was strange for a moment driving down Laudholm Farm Road, but stopping short of the property I have become so familiar and in love with this year, and driving right past another yellow farmhouse on a beautifully manicured piece of land.  Yep, had to turn around, but made it to Kairsten's parents house to meet her for pre-ceremony preparations.  The house was so quiet and calm, I had no idea there were almost 10 people there getting ready!  I had met Kairsten with her fiance Mark once at the emilie inc. studio and she and I had conversed via phone and email a few times in the months leading up to their wedding day.  Needless to say, I was super excited for this small, intimate celebration with about 40 guests in Kairsten's hometown of Kennebunkport.
