After another memorable wedding season, I’m grateful for the many couples who trusted me to document their wedding celebrations while working for Paul Saunders Photography. It’s truly a joy and honor! Here are a few favorites from the past year:
A Special Show
I recently collaborated with playwright and singer-songwriter Lise Michelin to do photographs for her upcoming website. I enjoyed spending time capturing her fun-loving spirit!
Dance Showcase
Last weekend, Gina Capossela asked me to photograph her students and the Raqs Salaam Dance Theater’s 21st showcase. As always, it’s a fun performance to document! Follow this link to see more in the Galleries section of my website, and to purchase prints and downloads.
A New Chapter
Arminja and Scott asked me to stop by this weekend to do family portraits with their spunky son – I photographed their intimate wedding over a decade ago. Follow this link to see more (and to purchase prints and downloads) in the Galleries section of my website. It was a pleasure to see them again!
A return visit
Elizabeth and Jim asked me back to photograph their growing family, this time at Patch Orchards in Lebanon, N.H. There were lots of places to explore with the kids! Follow this link to see more and to order prints and downloads from the Galleries section of my website.
More News
During times when a Valley News staff photographer is unavailable, I welcome the opportunity to dust off my cameras to document life in the Upper Valley. Here are a few of my favorites from those times:
Autumn Dauphinais, 15, of Sharon, Vt., spends time with No. 329, a Brown Swiss cow that is among the Westlands Farm dairy herd in South Royalton, Vt., sold and transported to Sunset Lake LLC in Alburgh, Vt. “She’s my favorite,” said Dauphinais, who helps out owner Peggy Ainsworth occasionally with her mother and boyfriend.
Jackson Burch, 13, of Windsor, Vt., shows off a chain pickerel he caught with his sister during an ice fishing derby on Lake Runnemede in Windsor, Vt. The event was part of Windsor High senior Cole Anderson’s capstone project.
While defended by Middlebury’s Becka Seeley, Hartford’s Sophie Daniels moves the puck toward Middlebury’s goal during the VPA Division II state championship in Burlington, Vt. Hartford won, 2-0, for their second consecutive title.

Dana Ireland, of Norwich, Vt., waves an egg carton at passing motorists during a protest against the Trump Administration on Lyme Road in Hanover, N.H. Ireland said showing the symbol of high prices was a last-minute decision. “I didn’t want to leave the house empty-handed,” she said. About 80 people participated in the Saturday morning protest.
Drivers slow to honk their horns in support of the 1,500 anti-Trump demonstrators who lined Maple Street from Hartford Avenue to the end of the bridge over the Connecticut River in White River Junction, Vt. Several demonstrations in the Upper Valley and across the country were held Saturday to express anger over the White House’s drastic changes since January.

Reflecting on the Season
Another wedding season has ended, and I’m grateful to continue with a job I started doing in 1994. Thanks to Paul Saunders Photography, I met many wonderful people this year. I enjoyed being a part of the special moments in their lives. Here are a few favorites from the past year:
Dance Extravaganza
Last weekend I photographed the Raqs Salaam Dance Theater’s 20th annual extravaganza at the Mascoma Community Auditorium. It’s always enjoyable to document the performances for Gina Capossela and her students! Follow this link to see more and to purchase prints and downloads.
Back to the Land
The other day, I met Elizabeth and Jim at Dartmouth’s former golf course to do family photos. The kids sure loved the tall grass! Follow this link to see more and to purchase prints or downloads in the Galleries section.
