Over the weekend Chris and Larisa asked me to photograph their young family during a college reunion in West Windsor, Vt. Getting a portrait done is an annual tradition for them — this year, the family grew with their friends’ kids joining the fun!
Outdoor Classroom
Over the weekend I met with Anna at a picturesque spot in Barnard, Vt., to do her senior portraits. It was a fitting location because Anna is pursuing environmental studies in college.
Family Memories
As time passes, moments in photography take on a new life. While visiting my family in South Dakota in 1991, I spent the day with my grandfather, taking pictures and cherishing my time with him. After he passed away eight years later, I gave everyone prints of him enjoying an ice cream with me in a small town diner. Mine is still on my desk at home, a memory of a wonderful day.
Center Stage
The other day, Camila and I got together bright and early on the Dartmouth College campus to do senior portraits and headshots for her college applications. With an interest in musical theater, Camila has a knack for being in front of the camera!
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Archival Quality is back! While browsing through my work this morning, I smiled while looking at a photo of our dog Lucy towering over our friend’s puppy Tootsie in 1994. Lucy looks like the star of many Japanese monster films because dogs play with such intensity! Taking pictures of her for fun eventually turned into one of my first books, My Life As a Dog, in 1999.
Boyhood
The other day I photographed Dana and Kevin’s family on the grounds of an acquaintance’s home in Hanover, N.H. Their boys were game for sitting still as long as they could roam a bit as well!
What’s Brewing
This week, the latest issue of Enterprise (the Valley News’ monthly business magazine) hit the streets. I enjoyed collaborating with design editor Amanda Newman on the cover illustration. The photography turned out better than I imagined it could — it’s amazing what an overhead chicken light and Christmas tree lights can do!
Alison & Chris
I recently returned to the Farmhouse Inn in Woodstock, Vt., to photograph Alison and Chris’s wedding ceremony and celebration. I was also the photographer for Chris’s brother and sister’s weddings nine years ago and I was honored to be part of another fantastic celebration! Follow this link to see more on my Facebook page.
Friday Night Lights
Last week, I photographed high school football under the lights in Lebanon, N.H. Dusk, a harvest moon and the field’s lights add another layer of drama! Here’s a few of my favorites posted to the Valley News’ Photo Galleries section:

Hannah & Greg
Over Labor Day weekend Hannah and Greg asked me to photograph their wedding ceremony and formals at Mountain Meadows Lodge in Killington, Vt. I enjoy working at Mountain Meadows for its natural beauty and helpful staff — Hannah and Greg’s ceremony was made all the better by a ceremony with a heavy Dad presence!
