A light summer misting rain in the Green Mountains didn’t dampen Alli and George’s wedding celebration at the Blueberry Hill Inn in Goshen, Vt. Their ceremony was sweet and wonderful, a reflection of the couple and their guests!

Last weekend, I caught up with Cara, Dean and their growing family. Since photographing their wedding a decade ago, I’ve been back several times to document each new sibling. It’s always a treat!

As the school year winds down, the Valley News celebrates the accomplishments of 36 students from the 18 schools it covers with its Athlete of the Year award. It’s a bit stressful to reach everyone and schedule portraits in two weeks, but well worth it! Here’s a few of my favorites:
From top, Oxbow’s Izzy Giesing, Mount Royal’s Alex Normandin, Stevens’ Jenna Pond, South Royalton’s Connor Lambert and Iris Hudson, Lebanon’s Nate Chickering, Thetford’s Meagan Balch, Oxbow’s Ben Emerson and Newport’s Lacey McNeel.

Sharon Academy held their annual prom over the weekend and I was asked back to portraits in a photo booth set-up for the fourth year.

It’s still a pleasure to be here and there covering the community for the Valley News. I’m mostly in the office as photo editor but I’m on the road whenever we’re short a photographer. Here’s a few of my recent favorites:
From top, Jocelyn Beeman, of Claremont, N.H., wipes her eyes while watching her son Oliver, 10, speak to the Claremont City Council about a petition he circulated to ask for the lowering of the speed limit along South Street At left is Oliver’s father, Jason Beeman; Thomas Buergenthal sits for a portrait in Hanover, N.H. He gave the speech “Scenes from a Life: From the Auschwitz Death March to the International Court of Justice” at Dartmouth College later in the day. He was one of the youngest Holocaust survivors. After the war, Buergenthal studied law in the United States and during the course of his career as a law professor, became a world-renowned expert on human rights; Dartmouth No. 5 singles player Ciro Riccardi serves against Princeton in their last match of the regular season. Dartmouth won, 4-1, to win its first Ivy League title since 1997; Ellie Woodward, 6, of Lebanon, N.H., tries to take the basketball away from her father, Dylan Woodward, while enjoying a warm Sunday afternoon at the CCBA’s Witherell Recreation Center’s outdoor courts with her sister and mother in Lebanon; Newport, N.H., seniors Stacia Dame, left, Hailey Perry and Kendall Hamilton (not shown) hug after they were given flowers by their families at the start of their last home game with Stevens in Newport.

Last weekend Paul invited me back to Jericho, Vt., to photograph his growing family, along with his brother’s and their extended family.

Finding moments while being out and about as a photographer for the Valley News continues to be a joy, whether it’s early in the morning or late at night. Here’s a few of my favorites so far from 2018:
From top, Nick Stickney of Blakeman’s Towing & Recovery works to remove a Jeep Wrangler from the ditch after it was struck by an Amtrak passenger train in South Royalton, Vt. Police said the Jeep’s driver was trying to pull another car out of the snow at the time of the crash. No one was injured; Amy Hutchins, as Marianne, and Michael Stewart Allen, as Roland, rehearse a scene from CONSTELLATIONS, a two-character drama by Nick Payne at Shaker Bridge Theatre in Enfield, N.H.; Jarvis Antonio Green is the founding producing artistic director for JAG Productions and BarnArts Center for the Arts; Terry Wing, of Springfield, Vt., reacts to Gregory Smith’s testimony in Windsor Superior Court in White River Junction, Vt., about the shooting of her son Wesley Wing in April 2015 over a dispute about drug activity in the Springfield neighborhood where Smith and Wesley Wing lived; Lebanon guard Megan Gradijan keeps the ball in play as it heads out-of-bounds in the first quarter of their game with Con-Val in Lebanon, N.H.; Players and fans react to Dover’s go-ahead goal with less than 30 seconds to play in the game with Lebanon-Stevens on Feb. 14, 2018, in West Lebanon, N.H. Dover’s Garrett Swan, left, scored on an assist from teammate Wyatt Allaire, center, to win 5-4; Ben Emery, of Burlington, Vt., launches from the 50-meter jump at Storrs Hill in Lebanon, N.H., during a Junior Nationals qualifying event. The jump now has metal tracks instead of snow, allowing for predictable tracking and planned year-round use beginning in 2019; Over a half-dozen homeowners in Warren, N.H., have been without water for about two months after a stretch of the Baker River near their homes was dredged. They believe the water table dropped, ran their dug wells dry and are looking for answers from town, state and federal officials.
