Skiing during Christmas week in Vermont can be a crap shoot. Some years we get powder and great conditions, other years it’s a complete washout. Without fail, though, Vermont gets crowded during the holidays. There was a line at the Smuggler’s Notch ticket window from 9:30am to 2:30pm. The week started with cloudy skies that [...]

Last weekend, I headed over to a friend’s house for some family portraits now that their newest family member has arrived. About a year ago, I took some photos with them down at Oakledge Park in Burlington, but with snow on the ground I packed up a portable studio kit and headed to their living [...]

Just before Thanksgiving, I was contacted by the Vermont band Shakedown to take some new photos for their website. They had just experienced a shakeup and had some new members. Normally, I connect up with bands in the spring, summer, and early fall and take outdoor photos around Burlington. This time, we met in a [...]
A Perfect Fall Season in Vermont
October 20, 2010

Some years, Vermont throws curve balls all year long. Spring is muddy, summer is rainy, and fall foliage gets annihilated by strong wind and early snows. This year wasn’t one of those years. Summer was comprised of mostly beautiful days. Fall rolled in and we had cool nights, sunny days, and a long, gradual change [...]

The leaves are changing around most of Vermont, but last weekend they were just getting going in Burlington. With a 5 month old and a 2 year old, we didn’t want to stray too far nor take too much time out in the ~50 degree weather, so we headed down to the Burlington Intervale. The [...]
Jer Coons, Back at Higher Ground

Last Friday, in the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, Jer Coons returned home to play for his friends & family. Opening for him were Seth Glier and Jesse Ruben. We didn’t hear about the show until the middle of the week, so I suspect that’s why the room wasn’t sold out. (Jer has a history of [...]
Before and After: Flooding on Vermont’s Winooski River

A few weeks ago, I walked down to the Winooski River on the boarder between Williston and Essex. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to walk around, but somehow I had never stopped until that day. I was surprised to see that you can walk all the way down onto the rocks and “in” to [...]
Outdoor Family Photographs on a Beautiful Vermont Morning

This past Saturday, I spent the morning at Oakledge Park in Burlington with Courtney, Kinsley, Andrew, and Connor . We had a great time wandering around the park, taking a combination of posed and candid photos. When you have an almost four year old involved, you never know what you’re going to get, but both [...]
Early last month — you remember, then the temperatures were in the mid 90′s and the humidity matched — I connected up with Miranda Ferriss Jones to take some photos for her upcoming album. She was back in town visiting her family and had a vision for some photos contrasting the vintage dresses she performs [...]
Quiet Morning in Vermont

I woke up this morning with a laundry list of tasks to finish. Paint some trim, prep some doorways, patch some drywall, mow the lawn. It’s humid here in Vermont; the gentle rains last night and the morning dew meant that I couldn’t yet mow the lawn. Those same rains left some treasures on the [...]
