Fundraising for Junior Sailing
I embarked on a new partnership this summer with Ida Lewis and its Junior Sailing program out of Newport. They were interested in utilizing photography as a fundraising element, and we found a formula that brings funds directly back into the program.
While my first visit to Ida was full of clouds and rain, it didn't stop these kids from having a blast! For the second session of the summer, it was nothing but sun and blue skies.
I was very happy with the wealth of support from the kids, instructors and parents at Ida Lewis, and for a first go-around, it was a wonderfully successful partnership! I hope to offer the same fundraising options to other programs across the bay for 2017.
Here are just a handful of the shots, but for any interested Ida families, photos are available at www.catebrownphoto.com

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
