When Jen contacted me about doing a late November portrait session in York, Maine I thought we’d be bundled in woolen coats and mittens.  But thankfully Mother Nature obliged us with some moderate temps that let us take our time (much to Buddy’s dismay).  Jen and Buddy wanted to get some informal portraits at the beach in York where Buddy grew up.  I was unfamiliar with that particular strand of beach so we agreed to meet in the parking lot at nearby Cape Neddick Lobster Pound.  Much to my delight I found the place deserted — off season Maine at it’s finest — and a photographer’s dream.  Behind the main parking lot stands a perfectly weathered fishing shack completely covered with lobster pot buoys and old oars.  I am so delighted to have met Jen and Buddy, and these pictures are some of my favorites.
