Double Exposure

Twin brothers Dylan and Hunter asked me to come by last weekend to photograph their senior portraits. With the threat of rain, we had to work quickly but managed to do family portraits and included Dylan’s girlfriend as well!

Shock to the System

The other day I travelled to southern Vermont to photograph one-year-old Hamilton and his mother Lauren. They had made a quick trip from Nashville to see the fall colors in Marlboro, Vt., but an overnight cold snap was a shock to Hamilton’s system. After a warm-up in the car, he was ready for his close up!

Bill’s Barnyard

“I was shown on Vermont Public Television hugging Hillary” is the beginning of a story my neighbor Bill in Tunbridge, Vt., likes to tell. I bit. Was she campaigning locally? Did he travel to see her? No, Hillary is one of two pet goats Bill wanted to feature in his new holiday card (special thanks to the many animal wranglers who helped, including Bill’s daughter Sarah)!

Anticipation

I’ve recently been covering several events for the Valley News’ sports department. Photographing sports is a challenge I enjoy because it’s unpredictable and requires anticipation of what’s coming next. Here’s a few of my recent favorites:
