The other day I made a photo of kissing kids that reminded me of a photo I did of my daughter and her pal smooching a decade ago. Whenever the teens see each other now, they fall into their comfortable friendship. These two are pals from daycare — I photographed them and their families down the road in South Royalton, Vt.
Shannon & Willy
A week ago, I was honored to photograph Shannon and Willy’s wedding at the Quechee Club in Quechee, Vt. I’ve known Willy since he was a toddler — his mother and I worked together for years at the Valley News. I felt privileged to be a part of their wonderful day!

Buffalo Gap
A few years ago while traveling through western South Dakota, my wife suggested we stop at the Buffalo Gap National Grassland to take a look. It’s the second largest preserved prairie in the country, but not a place I would have thought to stop (I grew up on the other side of the state). Looking at one of my photos now, I appreciate its expansiveness and imagine a time before Interstates and box stores.
Emily & Michael
Last weekend, I photographed a sweet wedding near Mount Mansfield in Underhill, Vt. While the weather wasn’t too cooperative, Emily and Michael celebrated in style with plenty of excellent music played by their friends! Follow this link to see more on my Facebook page.
On Scent
The other day, my neighbor picked me up at 5:30 a.m. to see how our beagle puppy’s littermates are doing in their training. They’re learning to track scent at the Randolph Fish and Game Club’s 20-acre rabbit grounds. My neighbor laughed when I told him our hound was still in bed, under the covers with his head on the pillow!
Alice & Aaron
Alice and Aaron’s wedding and celebration at their friends’ home last weekend in Plainfield, Vt., had many personal touches. Their ceremony was complete with beautiful bell-ringing and lovely readings! Follow this link to see more on my Facebook page.
Famous Alum
Last spring, I did a portrait I did of farmer and friend Chuck Wooster for the May/June issue of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. I finally remembered to go see what they published. As they say in New England, here ’tis!
Great Lakes
We just returned from a camping vacation in New Hampshire’s Connecticut Lakes region. Located in the northern tip of the state, Pittsburg, N.H., is a quiet town not only known for where the Connecticut River begins, but also for its abundant moose population. We just saw one moose grazing on the side of the road, but we really enjoyed the hikes, rest and relaxation.
Kate & Kevin
Last weekend I returned to Toad Hill Farm in Franconia, N.H., to photograph Kate and Kevin’s wedding ceremony and reception. Located at the foothills of the White Mountains, the farm has an amazing view of the Presidential Range. Combined with a crowd that wanted to dance the night away, it made for fun photos!

Acting Out
This weekend I saw an amazing performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth by actors who are a part of the Get Thee To The Funnery two-week camp in Chelsea, Vt. Open to teens from 12- to 19-years-old, it was incredible to see how they mastered the language in such a short time! My daughter attended for the first time and is looking forward to returning next summer.
