St. Louis photographer tries to seize Cape Cod summer time in picture e-book

A brand new espresso desk e-book that showcases coastal pictures of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket is now obtainable for pre-sale.

“Coastal Granddaughter” by photographer Heidi Drexler Stehr captures the essence of coastal New England, in keeping with the e-book’s promotional materials. Stehr is predicated in St. Louis, Missouri, however she and her household started visiting Cape Cod each summer time when she was 8 years previous, in keeping with her web site.

“It’s a gift for anyone who understands the feeling of home tied to a place, whether that place is Cape Cod, the Islands, or somewhere entirely their own,” according to promotional material.

The book’s website does not appear to list specific places on Cape Cod or the Islands for the photos, but images from the book show Sankaty Head lighthouse on Nantucket, Andrea’s West Yarmouth Fish and Lobster shack, and pages labeled “Nan-freakin-tucket” and “lobster rolls and clam chowdah.”

The collection draws inspiration from Stehr’s personal memories, evoking a sense of nostalgia and tranquility, according to promotional material. The images, taken in an editorial lifestyle style, portray authentic moments such as soft mornings, salt air and weathered shingles.

The project began with Stehr’s childhood experiences at her grandparents’ house, where summers spent on the Cape became a cherished tradition. The book offers glimpses into her lifelong connection to the region, from running barefoot on the beach as a child to now enjoying those same shores with her own two sons.

The e-book is described as an artwork piece and heirloom, designed to be styled, flipped by way of and left open to a favourite web page.

Stehr is an editorial life-style photographer and visible storyteller.

The e-book is on the market for pre-sale at coastalgranddaughter.com, according to the announcement.
