Maine Photo Works

The updates on here have been a little sparse, so I wanted to hop on and assure you all that I'm still here. Wednesday through Saturday by appointment. 😊 I can't believe it's been 4 months now of working with Edie. 2-3 days a week with Edie and 2-3 days of childcare (that's when I get your orders done!). Y'all, Edie will be 6 months old in just a few days. 🤯 It feels like it's been 5 seconds and 5 years all at the same time!

I've got a few new things in the works (new papers!!! 🎉). I've had a lot of fun testing new stocks and have narrowed down what I want to add--now I just have to figure out how to program them into the website for online ordering. 🫠 Might just announce a few on here soon and figure out the online ordering part later. I'm really excited to get to work with them!

Unfortunately, what's also been occupying my mind this summer is the need for a price increase on printing, scanning, and restoration work. On paper I've seen anywhere from a 5% to 20% increase in cost since last year. Ink has gone up by about 10%. Continuing on with these prices as is would not be sustainable for me. New pricing will roll out in January 2026. 🙏 It will be a small increase--enough to help me get through this strange time. I know my regulars will understand, and I am very grateful to all of you for that.

I hope to be able to carve out more time soon to post what I've been working on! In the meantime, if you are a client who I've done work for recently please feel free to tag me and I'd be happy to share on my page or in my stories. 🥰

Baby loon season! 😍 Client Duane Lowe has been photographing the baby loons on Damariscotta lake for years now, but this year he's really hit his stride. Swipe through to see some of his recent prints!

This morning in the studio: 75 hand cut 7 x 5" giclee prints on the Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. It's always so satisfying to see the corners come together in a stack of prints like this. 🫰🏼

So lovely to have Nina Fuller ( + www.ninafullerphotography.com) stop in for a print while my daughter Edie was here! Nina showed Edie her favorite pictures in the studio and Edie was completely enthralled. 😉 Plus a hat made from Will's wool?! What an honor for this little one! For anyone that doesn't know, Will is the sheep in the photo behind Nina (and so many of Nina's other photographs!).

Nina also picked up this print at 17 x 15.2" of her photograph 'Mary in the Box' for a buyer at the Portland Art Gallery. 👏🏼
