In February I was lucky to have another assignment for Lindblad Expeditions this time we sailed aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion on the Pacific shore of Costa Rica and Panama. It was another prefect week with the great staff and crew from Lindblad. The trip started with an amazing rescue of two fishermen whose boat had capsized, they had been floating at sea for three days! You can read the account of what happened here in the Daily Expedition Report.
The trip was very different from my trip to the Galapagos Islands; the weather was much warmer (yea!) and the air more humid, but sadly the animals not quite as unafraid of people. Well, the monkeys were still quite curious and entertaining! All in all another great experience at sea.

Below of are some of my favorite photos from the week, which culminated with a memorable trip through the Panama Canal.

These pictures are so cute,  I don’t think they really need an explanation! Happy birthday Viv!! (more…)

In October I was lucky to have an assignment in the Galapagos Islands for Lindblad Expeditions and the television show Jeopardy! , we sailed around the islands for a week aboard the National Geographic Endeavour. It was an amazing experience, and my most unique assignment ever.  Here are a few of my favorite photos. Granted, I shot over 12,000 pictures that week, so this is just a small selection!

Portland’s Old Port is perhaps my favorite place to shoot in Maine, within just a matter of blocks you can have a gritty working waterfront, or a cobblestone street which is often mistaken for being worlds away. Gabrielle and Ron were up for anything, even though Gabrielle was in a fabulous pair of lavender high-heels (and that adorable dress!).  Most women who live in Portland know how hard it is to navigate Wharf Street in heels!

I’m really looking forward to their wedding on Peaks next year. Thanks to Gabrielle and Ron for making this a great start next year’s wedding season!

On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, Linnea and David tied the knot on the grounds of Southern Maine Community College. The night before, they toasted with guests aboard Casco Bay Line’s Bay Mist, followed by a lobster feast at Jones Landing amidst fog and rain. So quickly the weather changes here in Maine!

Saturday brought sunny skies, a light sea breeze and perfect temperatures. Both the bridesmaids and groomsmen were wearing adorable seersucker dresses and suits respectively, I’d never seen such a cute combination of outfits for a wedding party.  David and Linnea’s wedding reception featured divine food and wine pairings, four courses were served and the party really took off after that.  There was lots of ‘air-guitar’ to be found among the dancing masses. Everyone was having such a great time, but the music had to end at some point, I’m sure that the festivities continued once everyone made it back to Portland.

Congrats you two! Enjoy South Africa!!

Okay, I know this is a ridiculous number of photos, but it was such a perfect day that I can’t help myself.
