Adam’s First Birthday | Vermont Family Photogapher

admin — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 00:23:43 +0000

Two years ago I had the pleasure of photographing Shannon and Keith’s wedding at the Mt Top Inn and Resort in Chittenden, VT. Some of the photos from that day became part of the Mt Top’s brochure and Shannon and Keith became local celebrities at the Mt Top!….well maybe not exactly celebrities. Anyhow, I was thrilled last year when I heard they were having a baby and wanted me to do a newborn session for their son Adam! You know, their first born child who they named after me….well, not really. But they did travel all the way from CT to my studio in VT for Adam’s newborn photo session. It was such a joy to see this family again for Adam’s 1st birthday! Shannon and Keith returned to the place they married for a special weekend getaway and photo session. It was great to photograph this happy little boy in the very same place where his parents made their vows. It’s really the greatest honor as a photographer when I photograph a couple’s wedding and they ask me to document the start of their family, and the milestones in their lives.

Beautiful Family Session | Vermont Family Photographer

admin — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:14:41 +0000

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful family from Middlebury, VT. With all the rain we’ve been getting this summer I was worried I’d have to re-schedule yet another photo shoot; lately it’s been the norm. When Nicolle called me at the last minute I was sure she was about to pull the plug, but instead of asking to re-schedule she said ‘let’s go for it!’; the clouds broke and the rain had stopped at their house. North, an hour’s drive away, I looked out my window as the rain came pouring down and thought, “what are our chances”? Would another downpour force us indoors for the entire session? I drove to their home as quickly as I could, praying for dry skies…Well, it rained lightly on and off throughout our session, but nothing substaintial. So we played in the rain and captured some lovely, beautiful moments. Matt and Nicolle have such a great property, the perfect place for their family photo session. Their son Ben was so much fun to photograph, what a little bundle of energy! He was running, jumping and practically flying around the whole time…it was like trying to photograph an action sports star! I knew our window of opportunity could be short considering how much energy Ben was spending running around in between all the ‘snuggly moments’ with his mom and dad. So I worked as fast as I could, capturing as much as possible until the inevitable moment came…Ben was done. I have to hand it to him though, he did an amazing job and was such a joy to photograph! When I photograph a family I always encourage lots of play and natural interactions between the parents and kids…trying to avoid having the parents discipline the kids into a formal portrait. Achieving a beautiful, traditional family portrait is also a goal, but I find it much easier to accomplish if we just let the fun guide us rather than trying force it. We accomplished the best of both worlds in the is session, so I was so happy for that! I greatly enjoyed my time with this beautiful family.

Whitney & Mike’s Maternity Session | Vermont Maternity Photographer

admin — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:29:29 +0000

I photographed Whitney and Mike’s engagement and awesome wedding in 2009 and have kept in touch w/these guys ever since. It’s always the greatest feeling as a photographer when my clients come back to me to document the milestones in their lives. I was so excited when Mike called me to share the news of their first child on the way! We set up a belly/baby photo package and decided to go back to the special place where we had done their engagement session. Whitney looked amazing with her bump! Since they are just a couple months away from the big day, it was the perfect time for the maternity session. It was great to see these guys doing so well, looking fabulous as always, and so excited to start their family!

AIDAN’S FAMILY SESSION, VERMONT CHILDREN’S PHOTOGRAPHER

admin — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:14:42 +0000

I was thrilled to hear from Kim and Zach when they discovered me online and asked me to photograph their family. They have a beautiful 13 month old son Aidan and decided to capture this special time in their lives w/a family portrait session. I went to their family home on Lake Champlain and it was a perfect location for our session. Although full of energy and not wanting to stay still, Aidan was an absolute joy to work with and did such a great job! His grandfather Jack was very helpful assisting me w/my lighting gear and also getting Aidan to look towards the camera and smile. I greatly enjoyed meeting these guys and the time we spent together that day. After the session, we shared a cold beer together and talked about our love of waterskiing, Vermont, the arts and more, as we discovered some fun things we have in common. I’m looking forward to seeing Aidan grow and for all of us to share in a fun day out on the lake together next summer! I had a hard time picking out just a few images because Aidan is so adorable!!!

Brynn Rose, Newborn Session, Vermont Newborn Photographer

admin — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:53:57 +0000

I am so happy for Taryn and TJ with the arrival of their beautiful daughter Brynn Rose! Over the years Taryn and TJ have become more than good clients to me, they are now good friends. I have photographed their engagement session, their amazing wedding in Burlington, the belly session and now their first child’s newborn session. It’s been such a thrill to document these important and joyous milestones in their lives; a true honor and pleasure! Brynn is just gorgeous, she’s a perfect little angel. She was 14 days old on this beautiful day. I brought my studio gear to Taryn and TJ’s home for this session. Brynn was amazingly cooperative as far as baby’s in newborn sessions go. It’s usually touch and go in any newborn session, we get some nice images then the baby needs to be fed or changed, or we need to clean or change the backdrop, then we’ll wait for the baby to fall asleep again in hopes for more great images before they wake up and the cycle repeats itself again. Brynn gave us some nice, long stretches of time to get some amazing photos. I was excited to try all of my brand new hats I had bought just a few weeks before. Brynn did such a great job modeling all the latest new styles! Taryn and TJ were a huge help during the session and as patient as any parent could be. Taryn and TJ are great friends of Kendra and Chris, the parents of Cam who’s newborn session I photographed a month earlier. TJ works with Chris as a Burlington Vermont Firefighter. He’s a strong man with a warm heart. I love the images of tiny, newborn Brynn in the arms of her big, strong dad…classic! Little Brynn is so adorable and I’m looking forward to seeing her grow!

Cam’s Newborn Session, Vermont Newborn Photographer

admin — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 16:22:06 +0000

Awww Cam! He’s so cute. I was really excited for Cam’s newborn session, after all his parents are some of my favorite people; Kendra & Chris, who’s amazing wedding in Punta Cana Dominican Republic, and their Engagement and Trash the Dress sessions was one of my most favorite jobs ever! Who doesn’t want to be flown to Punta Cana, Domincan Republic to photograph a relaxed wedding on a beautiful beach, barefoot in the sand? Well I was excited to meet Cam, only 9 days old and super cute! Upon arrival Cam was not as excited for the session as we had hoped, that is he was not ready to sleep for a long time despite Kendra’s best efforts to put him into a milk coma. It wasn’t until about 3 hours into the session that Cam finally fell into that deep sleep I was waiting for. He was now in that place where I could put him into all sorts of fun positions without disturbing him. So this marathon session took close to 5 hours but it was so worth it! Chris brought along his fireman gear which made for some very powerful, moving images. We also threw in some New England Patriots paraphernalia as Kendra and Chris are the biggest Pats fans in the world…or so they like to think. We finished with some super funny images with the theme of Cam ‘drunk on milk at the local bar’…it was hilarious! For me, it was so great to document Kendra and Chris going from fiances, to newlyweds and then to parents of a beautiful baby boy…one of the greatest rewards a photographer could ever have!

Adam’s Newborn Session

admin — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:19:19 +0000

It was only last August when I photographed Shannon and Keith’s intimate wedding at the Mt Top Inn and it was to my great surprise when I found out they were expecting a baby boy and his name would be Adam! I guess they loved their wedding photos so much they decided to name their first born son after me. It’s no surprise, I’m getting used to this as it happens all the time No but really, I did feel a great connection w/Shannon and Keith and when told me they were going to drive all the way from West Haven, CT to my studio in Burlington, VT I was totally honored! When they arrived, I was so excited to see them again, this time as parents instead of newlyweds. It was great to meet Adam, what a little cutie pie. I decided it was time they knew, so after we got started w/the newborn session, I let them know that I had photographed their wedding on my birthday. They were so surprised and asked why I didn’t say anything. I reminded them it was their day and I happily made the decision to share in it. So it seemed like serendipity, all of these cool connections! Little Adam did great for his first photo session; after Shannon got him into a proper ‘milk coma’ we were able to play around and make some beautiful images. As a photographer, newborn sessions are often challenging but so worth it. For parents, this precious time flies by in just a few weeks, and then your little one is full-steam ahead into baby-hood. There’s no second chance to capture images of this amazing stage of life. It was so great to see Shannon and Keith and to meet Adam and I can’t wait to see their family grow!

MIRABELLE’S NEWBORN SESSION, VERMONT NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:55:07 +0000

Beautiful 15 day old Mirabelle. A sleepy little angel. What a joy it was to meet Mirabelle and photograph her newborn session. Bryan and Val were really tired when I arrived to their house, but more than anything they were so happy and proud! As a photographer there are few things as rewarding as photographing a couple’s wedding followed by documenting them becoming a family and growing. It’s quite an honor to share in such joyous times in people’s lives.

It has been 2 years since I photographed Val and Bryan’s wedding at Sugarbush. This past summer Val’s sister bought a belly/newborn photo package for them as a baby shower gift. I was so happy to hear they are starting a family! It was a lovely fall day in Vermont and we had fun with the ‘belly session’. Here are a few of my favs.

FAMILY PORTRAITS IN LINCOLN, VERMONT

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:30:59 +0000

My friend Matt and his family live in Lincoln, Vermont and every year we do a family portrait session. I enjoy seeing the kids each year and am amazed how quickly they’re growing. Their homestead in Lincoln has fields, horses, tractors, woodpiles…it’s filled with fun backgrounds! We had a great photo session and shared a nice bbq dinner afterwards. Looking around my friend’s home, it was rewarding to see so many of the images we’ve done in past sessions framed and hanging on the walls. It’s the greatest satisfaction for a photographer. Looking forward to next year already!
