My '47 Ford Truck

This is my '47 Ford truck. I bought it a couple years ago for a prop for Senior Portraits. It was kind of funny, when I brought it back to the studio and put it on our lawn I had people stopping in wanting to buy it. It took me a long time to find this truck, and to have it be something I could afford (antiques are expensive) and something close to me I wasn't going to part with it right away.
This year we parked it away from the road, just out of sight so every "I'm gonna fix up an old truck guy" wouldn't have the urge to stop in and ask me if I wanted to sell it. Never the less, two guys in a Pick-up stopped in yesterday to look it over and ask me if it was for sell. NOPE!


I love the shape of the hood, and all the curves in the body of the truck.



Some Senior Portraits I did this summer. I like it in B&W. More about my studio at www.FennFoto.com

Child Portraiture Maggie

Maggie came to the studio to celebrate her 1st birthday. What a treat to photograph such ahappy little girl. Maggie's mother had come to the studio years ago for her Senior Portraits. Its hard to believe I have been creating memories for over 20 years! I love being able to capture photos like this, photos that are precious today and even more precious tomorrow. Keep reading my blog for information on the Spring Fling -- In the spring, of course! Go to www.fennfoto.com to see more samples of my work.

Pumpkin Festival in Damariscotta Maine



Damariscotta, Maine hosts a pumpkin festival in the fall. It's truly a fun family festival. Activities include carving pumpkins, eating pumpkin products, a parade, pumpkin chuckin', and the crowd favorite, pumpkin boat races. How do you race pumpkins? You grow a huge pumpkin, we're talking pumpkins that weigh over 1,000 lbs. You hollow them out, get inside and go. They race with paddles and with motors. Although the crowd grows every year, the number of people who get in the pumpkin remains small. I think the chilly Atlantic is a deterrent. I took some photos of the pumpkins, but there is a lot more to see at the Damariscotta Pumpkin Festival. Plan on going next October.


Spectators line the shore to watch the pumpkin boat races.




This lady made a "Harpschi Gourd". She played it and it was really nice.




This is beautiful!


...... I think this one has to do with Breast Cancer Awareness

Donna and Ken Camden Maine Wedding

Donna and Ken live in Texas and fell in love with Camden, Maine while on vacation. They came back a year later to get married. You could kind of say they eloped although they brought a few family members with them.

An overcast and rainy weekend, but Camden still is beautiful.
The church in the background is the one they were married in. The Chestnut Street Baptist Church.



The gang from Texas found it just a little bit chilly here in October.

Wentworth Charities - Samoset Resort Maine


This weekend we were at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine. They were hosting the 14th annual Wentworth Charities Golf Tournament, raising money to fight Tuberous Sclerosis and Cystic Fibrosis. This was an awesome group of people. Having fun, and raising money for a good cause.

Friday evening's dinner was by the Samoset's new pool. The fire pit added a warm inviting glow to a chilly evening. From the pool you can see both the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse and the Owls Head Lighthouse ( to the left on the point of land)

Lobster and Clams for dinner- of course!



Beautiful weather and beautiful view from the 3rd hole.

A few of the teams we photographed in the morning, handing out 5x7 prints in the afternoon.


Saturday night's entertainment was Dueling Pianos. If you ever have a chance to go see them, don't miss them, they are terrific!


Sunday's weather was a little damp, but everyone was still having a good time.

We had a busy weekend and I appreciate the chance to work with such an outstanding group of people who are working to fight such a good cause. Keep up the good work - you're making a big difference. Go to www.fennfoto.com to information on event photography.

Point Lookout Wedding

Nicole and Shawn booked us for the wedding over a year in advance. They planned out every detail of the wedding themselves. The wedding and reception was at Point Lookout in Ducktrap Harbor, next to Lincolville, Maine. We went to The Edge to take a few photos by the water. There were so many photo opportunities at The Edge.

The ring bearer and flower girl enjoyed riding in the limo. They were always the first ones in.
