Families and seniors and engagements… the summer is getting busy, so I am sharing MAY’s 365 photos before I fall even further behind!
This was one of my favorite months so far. Finally a few warm says… the color green… even some flowers. I love Maine this time of year!
Thank you for being here,

Well, I am a month (minus a day- which is actually causing me strife) into my 2019 daily photo challenge. I didn’t miss a day… I just didn’t decide that I was ready to do this until January 2nd.
This project creates space for me to make the pictures that have been swimming around in my brain for the last… well, forever. It also pushes me to make a picture when I’m not feeling creative and it makes me fit it in even when I’m “too busy.”
I am (perhaps disproportionately) proud for completing my 1st month. Some took an hour, others 5 minutes. Some are more creative than others. But, I set a goal and met it and the results make me happy.
Warmly,
Meg
Shamos Family: Standish Maine Family Portrait Session

I first met little Ruby over a year ago when I was taking her pre-school pictures… isn’t she a doll?
A few weeks ago I returned for this year’s round of school pictures, and also got to meet sweet sister, Cece. Can you even handle that little face?
And then together? It is cuteness overload, don’t you think?
Last week, I got to spend an hour with the entire Shamos family. We met at their alma mater, which is also one of my very favorite places to shoot, St. Joseph’s College. The temperature was more September than November, and the light was distinctly late fall. An absolutely magical combination.
We only spent an hour together, but we captured at least a trillion perfect images. We walked and talked and told silly jokes and made funny faces. We danced (and fell down), changed into Ruby slippers, and even smooched a time or two.
Here are just a few more favorites from our session:
Now comes the fun part. Ashley and Andy get to choose what pictures they get to look at every day. Because pictures that sit on a hard drive do not make your home more beautiful. Can I take a minute to say that again? Because pictures that sit on a hard drive do not make your home more beautiful.
The Shamos’ are going to print their pictures.
Maybe a large canvas that will remind them of these fleeting days. Maybe a few small pictures for the windowsill over the sink, so they can look at these precious faces when they are elbow deep in the dishes. Maybe an ornament to mark the 2016 holidays. Maybe Christmas cards to send to friends near and far, to spread joy in this oh so complicated world. Maybe an album of every single picture to look back at during the, um, challenging teen years (not that I know anything about that).
Thank you Shamos family. You’re fantastic.
(So, the blogging thing is new here at Meg Hatch Photography, will you take a minute to say “hey” in a comment?
I will love you forever. Srsly.)
