Meet Maryann Cheung, a photographer from Hillsborough, New England who I hope will inspire you today as she inspired me.

Maryann discovered her passion for photography later in life. At the age of 60, to be precise. She picked up her camera after a COVID scare and has been capturing beautiful images ever since. She shared some of them with us, along with her story that will remind us that it’s never too late to start doing something that makes you happy!

Photos, especially printed ones, have the power to throw us back in time and evoke strong emotions within us. But they also have healing power for those suffering from dementia. Recent research has shown the benefits of photo reminiscence therapy (pRT) for dementia patients. But it’s even more interesting that they don’t need images from their lives – even generic stock photos will do.

One of the greatest joys in life as a father is the ability to embarrass our kids. Nothing makes us happier as dads then throwing out some completely irrelevant and perfectly timed dad joke. Or maybe it’s the joys of embarrassing our teen daughters while she’s hanging out with her friends, it’s the best time to bust a dance move, even if it’s in line at Chik-Fil-A.

Shooting portraits on location has become very popular over the last few years. Since the demise of train tracks and caution tape, rural middle of nowhere locations now seem to be the go to. They’re much safer, and often far more beautiful. Occasionally, you might see some wildlife. In fact, just last week during a shoot at a nearby river, we were briefly approached by wild deer. Sometimes, you might see something else.

Something else is exactly what photographer Elena Nesbitt and Jillian Henry saw during a recent senior shoot. The seventeen year old Henry was standing in the Willamette River when a naked dogwalker suddenly wandered into the frame. After Henry posted the photos to Twitter, the Internet soon picked up on them.
