Higgins Family – Portland Family Portraits
02/11/2010The Higgins Family, well… they’re like family to me. Amy is the cousin of my bestie Marie, and when I planned a trip tto visit Marie I knew I had to get them in front of my lens. Their adorable daughter Ella is one of the most unique captivating babies I’ve ever seen. I’ve taken a few snapshots of her over the years, from 3 weeks to now, and she remains one of my favorite subjects.
We headed to this beautiful little farm tucked in the hills of Portland, unsure of whether or not we’d be able to shoot there. The property owners weren’t home, but the sheep were! Funny thing about trespassing, somehow it always ends in lots of fun and beautiful images. My motto is “it’s always easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission”. Although I always attempt to ask permission before I kamikaze a location.
Amy and Brennan! Thanks for being outlaws with me, seriously…. ANYTIME!





No babies were actually hurt during the making of this photograph, just a little spill… and some of the most beautiful giant tears ever.




STUNNA! For reals.

Oh Laura, these are so great! It’s wonderful to see some color (dreaded mid-winter New England days SUCK the color out of everything), and those tights alone just make me so happy!
