Manya + Brian | Family Session! | Maine Family Photographer

This is Manya & Brian and their beautiful children! Manya found me on A Practical Wedding (where she is an active member) and initially contacted me to do a much larger family session. They were having a family reunion of sorts at her parents’ house in Gorham, Maine. Her parents sold their beloved home last year, so it was a chance to get some family portraits done as well as a way to pay tribute to a home they loved so dearly. On the day of the shoot, it turned out that only Manya & Brian (and their kids) were able to do the session, so we ran with it! The house (and surrounding property) was just gorgeous, and we had fun exploring all around. Manya & Brian each had a previous marriage, so this is their new, combined family… and they were SO MUCH FUN. All 4 of the kids came out to greet me when I arrived, and even carried my gear bag inside for me. How sweet is that!? Manya had told me that they were all somewhat nervous and apprehensive about being photographed, but I don’t think it shows one bit… we spent the whole session laughing and soaking up the beautiful weather outside!
