Bob, congratulations on an honor well-deserved! I have enjoyed your photography for years (remember film?), and am so happy to see your work here. The Kennebunk Christmas looks like a blast, definitely on my list of go-to events. What a fun album!
These are beautiful
Wonderful pictures of Kennebunkport.
You have some very nice images there, Robert.
Awesome photos!! You’ve captured the essence of Seacoast Maine at Christmastime.
I’ve been a big fan of Robert’s photography for years! His calendars have graced my wall for the past 2! Kennebunk & Kennebunkport is like a second home to my family & I. These photographs capture the very reason why we love that little coastal town so much! Keep these beautiful photos coming, Robert!
Congratulations, Bob! Great work!
Very, very nice!
Beautiful !!! I’m homesick ……. I now live in Tucson, AZ…
A dream come true way to experience Christmas!
Congratulations for photographer of the mos… Deserving and fantastic photos.. Nice work!!
I was born and raised in Boston and when I see these types of pictures in Yankee Magazine I get a little homesick. I did spend a lot of time in Maine and New Hampshire when I was young and I miss that area, especially at the Holiday’s. I have been away from Boston for 37 years and thats why I subscribe to Yankee Magazine. Thanks Bob for the beautiful pictures, I really enjoyed them.
Awesome pictures, Robert! I’m in New Mexico and needed a ‘snow fix’-your pictures did it!
Beautiful Christmasy display capturing the spirit and beauty of the season.
What a delight. So enjoyable and truly New England.
What a delight! Congratulations, Merry Christmas and Thank you.
Too beautiful! We live in Virginia & usually travel to Maine & New England in October. We will need to plan a winter trip soon.
A breath of fresh air
Wonderful photos. You have captured a piece of Christmas beauty in Maine. Admiring all this from upstate New York!
At 84 I don’t travel out of town but being a history buff I enjoyed seeing your wonderful snow pictures of places I get get to any more.
What beautiful pictures!! I have lived here in Florida for 21 years and always miss Christmas in Maine and always will. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
absolutely the most beautiful photos of Kennebunkport. Love them.
In Florida and thinking You can take the girl out of Maine but you can’t take the “Maine” out of the girl! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I spent most of my adolescent years and younger adult years visiting my parents home in K’port. I loved Prelude weekend and Robert Dennis’s photography has captured it beautifully. I continued to bring my children up right up until around 2007 and when the season rolls around I still miss it.
Loved the pics. I have visited there and it’s a great place.
Great memories of our visit to Kennybunkport!
