“Let me count the ways.” I cherish my children and friends. Animals, both my pets and wild, have enriched my life. I see us as part of the natural world. The cygnet, young swan, is like a preteen girl, beginning to develop her beauty. Snakes and how they shed their skins is a metaphor for [...]

This wedding phrase, for me, is about the transitions we make, especially in entering a marriage. What I like about this tradition is the notion that we don’t need to leave anything behind. It’s there with us as we cross the threshold to our new lives. With Ashley and Scott’s wedding, they married at Ashley’s [...]

Children naturally connect to the precious in animals and nature. They are responsive to the beauty and variety of the world. Whether it’s birds nests, young rabbits, trees to climb or carrots from the garden, children know how to cherish each experience.

One of my clients recently had her second child. My first session was when their first born was three months old. It was early spring and warm enough to photograph outdoors. Now their son is a lively two year old as they welcome his new sister into their loving family. Dad took him outside to [...]

As soon as I put up my work at the Textile Arts Center I realized the connection my work has with arts that have quality in their materials and beauty in their design. Whether my work is done in silver gelatin or the painterly methods of platinum or palladium, I work by hand. Platinum and [...]

This summer, which just recently turned to fall, has been incredibly busy for me. A lot of photography–weddings, maternity, very new babies, continuing photographing babies as they grow. Also continuing photographing in Vermont for the inner story of a place. My next few posts will catch up to the present.
