As photo editor at the Valley News, I don’t get out-and-about every day. But when there’s a need for me to pick up the camera, I still enjoy it a whole lot. All of the photos below were taken in 2011.

Emily & Aaron

A few days ago, I did an engagement session for Emily and Aaron, whose September wedding I am photographing at the Aloha Hive Camp on Vermont’s Lake Fairlee. Talented photographer Jason Johns will be helping me out at the wedding. It was a beautiful afternoon to take photos — we even went for a short trail drive in their restored Jeep!
