Oliver's Senior Session

Sometimes the stars align in the most chaotic, wonderful ways.

Oliver had been hoping for a slot to shoot this past weekend while the foliage was hot for his high school senior portraits, but prime autumn calendar dates fill up quickly. When a sudden Saturday morning cancellation opened up an empty afternoon that very day, my first message went straight to Oliver’s family: “Are you ready to make this happen?”

What followed was a sprint that could only be described as a full-blown wardrobe scramble for the perfect looks! By the time we met at Springweather, you never would have guessed this session was pulled together in just a few hours. In fact, Oliver stepped out looking less like someone who threw an outfit together that morning and more like he was ready to walk onto a magazine set.

Springweather served up the absolute best backdrop for the occasion. The warm light filtered through the open meadows, casting that soft golden hour glow across the tall grasses and rustic dirt roads.

We started near the river with Mt. Ascutney’s grandeur serving as a classic fall backdrop to accompany Oliver’s perfectly manicured look. Working with Oliver was an absolute breeze; he brought an easygoing confidence that made natural candid moments fall into place without any stiff posing. A quick wardrobe change into a relaxed, timeless jacket brought out an entirely different edge, perfectly complementing the beautiful landscape as the autumn sun shone overhead.

Senior sessions are always special because they mark the threshold of a huge life chapter. But sessions like Oliver’s—where spontaneous timing, quick improvisation, and pure style come together so seamlessly—remind me why I love what I do.

Here are a few highlights from an unforgettable afternoon at Springweather. Oliver, congratulations on your senior year—you absolutely crushed it!

Millie's Senior Session

There is something effortless about the way Millie carries herself, but anyone who knows her understands that kind of poise is earned through years of discipline, grit, and passion.

For Millie’s senior session, we headed out for golden hour at Springweather, letting the warmth of late afternoon set the tone. From the open fields, we made our way up to the top of the North Springfield Dam just in time. The sky couldn’t have played along more perfectly—a soft layer of clouds rolled in at the exact right moment, diffusing the harsh sun so Millie never had to squint, while still letting Mount Ascutney stand out beautifully in the background. It created the dreamiest, softest light to wrap up our evening together.

Millie is the kind of senior who quietly does it all. She balances the power and endurance of a three-season athlete—competing in soccer, indoor track, and outdoor track and field—with the elegance and precision of a classical ballerina. Seeing that balance of athlete and artist up close is incredible. If you want to see her grace on stage, you won’t have to wait long: she’ll be performing this holiday season in the Dance Factory’s production of The Nutcracker.

Beyond the sports stats and stage roles, what stands out most about Millie is her genuine warmth. She carries a kind, quiet presence that immediately puts people at ease—a grounded confidence that doesn’t need to shout to be felt, and one that is going to take her remarkably far in whatever chapter comes next.

Millie, thank you for such a gorgeous evening chasing the light. Here’s a sneak peek into your senior session!

Josiah: Heart of the Field

There are photo sessions that check all the boxes—crisp autumn air, classic Vermont foliage at its peak, and golden afternoon light. And then there are sessions that stick with you because of the person standing on the other side of the lens.

Josiah’s senior portrait session at Brown Field was definitely the latter.

Brown Field isn’t just a patch of grass and yard lines; for Josiah, it’s home turf in every sense of the word. Having had the privilege of watching him grow up over the years, stepping onto that field with him for his senior portraits felt like bringing a major chapter full circle.

If you’ve seen Josiah compete, you already know the level of intensity he brings. He is a true multi-season powerhouse—dominating the turf in football, bringing that same speed and focus to the basketball court in the winter, and putting everything out there on the track in the spring. But on the gridiron especially, Josiah is an absolute force of nature. He is relentless, hard-hitting, and fiercely tough—the kind of player whose presence shifts the entire tempo of a game, and quite frankly, someone you definitely do not want to line up against on the opposite side of the ball.

He’s the kind of guy who didn’t need an easy path to build character; he forged it under pressure, quietly becoming that rare diamond who shines brightest when tested.

Yet, underneath that tough-as-nails competitor exterior is a genuinely enormous heart. Midway through our shoot, the true Josiah showed up without skipping a beat. When a youth football game wrapped up nearby, he completely hit pause on his own spotlight. Instead of worrying about lighting or poses, he walked straight over to hand out high-fives and took time out of his session to talk with and comfort a younger player who was visibly crushed by the game’s outcome.

He didn't do it because someone was watching or because a camera was pointed his way. He did it simply because that’s who he is: a fierce competitor between the whistles, but a leader who leads with kindness, empathy, and humility the second the whistle blows.

Josiah, watching the young man and athlete you’ve become has been an absolute honor. Keep bringing the thunder on the field and the court, and never lose that big heart—it’s going to take you farther than you know.

Here are a few favorites from our afternoon at Brown Field:

Chasing Hidden Waterfalls & Celebrating a Natural Born Leader: Harper’s Senior Session at Muckross State Park

Can you believe it took me this long to finally explore Muckross State Park? Right here on the edge of town sits this absolute gem of a natural escape, and I am still blown away by the quiet beauty tucked just off the beaten path. Now, fair warning—the hike in and out was no joke! Between hauling gear, navigating trails, and wading right into the brook for the perfect shot, my watch logged plenty of steps. But the moment the golden canopy and babbling water opened up, every single incline was worth it.

Even more incredible than the location, though, was the senior standing in front of my lens: Harper.

If you’ve spent any Friday nights under the lights at Brown Field or anywhere near a Springfield Cosmos football game, chances are you already know Harper. She is that powerhouse 50/50 ticket salesperson whose infectious smile and relentless energy make it completely impossible to say no!

That drive carries over into absolutely everything she touches. On the field and court, Harper is a standout multi-season athlete competing in soccer, basketball, and track. Off the field, she brings that same calm confidence to the boardroom as a student representative to the school board, advocating for her peers and leading by example. If you looked up "natural-born leader" in the dictionary, Harper’s photo would be right next to the definition.

During her session, she brought that effortless mix of determination and warmth. Whether she was kicking off her shoes to brave the chilly brook waters, laughing under the vibrant October leaves, or striking a poised portrait, Harper made every frame look easy.

Harper, thank you for trusting me to capture this milestone season and for being up for an outdoor adventure! You bring so much passion, heart, and leadership to our community, and watching where you head next is going to be nothing short of incredible.

Here are a few favorites from our afternoon adventure in Muckross!

Jonathan - State Discus Champion & Senior Leader

Watching kids grow up in this community is hands down one of the greatest privileges of behind-the-lens life, but sessions like Jonathan’s hit a little differently.

If you knew Jonathan as a kid, you know that "spicy" might actually be an understatement. He was full of fire, endless energy, and just enough mischief to keep everyone on their toes. Fast forward to his senior year, and that very same spark hasn't gone anywhere—it has just evolved into quiet strength, genuine maturity, and undeniable leadership.

We kicked off Jonathan’s senior session right at home, capturing relaxed, classic portraits where he could just be himself before diving into the athletic side that has defined so much of his high school journey. From there, it only made sense to wrap things up where he has left a permanent mark: the Springfield High School track.

Jonathan isn’t just an athlete; he’s the definition of a true multi-season competitor. Whether he’s grinding through the trenches on the football field, battling on the wrestling mat, or commanding the circle during track season, he shows up with a relentless work ethic. And the payoff speaks for itself. Standing on the track with a State Champion discus thrower—watching the focus take over as he steps into the ring—is an incredible reminder of what years of dedication look like in real time.

What stands out most, though, isn't just the championship title or the varsity letters. It’s the way Jonathan carries himself. He’s become a role model for the younger athletes coming up behind him, leading with discipline, respect, and that steady, grounded presence people naturally rally around. That fiery kid has grown into an exceptional young man who knows exactly who he is and what it takes to succeed.

Jonathan, congratulations on everything you’ve achieved so far. Whatever arena you step into next, there’s no doubt you’re going to throw down something great.

Savannah's Springweather Senior Session Adventures

There is something truly grounding about a Saturday morning where the light is soft, the air is crisp, and everything just falls perfectly into place.

That was exactly the vibe at Springweather Nature Area for Savannah’s senior session. Vermont foliage was at its absolute peak, showing off rich amber, gold, and crimson along the quiet trails. It was the kind of morning that invited us to slow down, explore, and focus on capturing Savannah exactly as she is: sweet, intentional, and radiant.

Senior year is a massive milestone, and Savannah has worked so hard to reach it. Through her school program, she has taken on a job stocking shelves—a role that fits her natural eye for detail and love of keeping things neat, purposeful, and organized. That sense of quiet pride and dedication is something to truly celebrate. She takes her own path forward with patience and care, and seeing her confidence shine made this session so special.

Out on the trails, there was no need for stiff or complicated posing. Savannah’s gentle demeanor and warm smile set the pace. Whether she was taking in the view across the hills or breaking into a bright, easy laugh against a vibrant canopy of leaves, her authentic joy carried every frame.

These portraits aren't just about marking twelfth grade on a calendar. They’re a celebration of dedication, growing independence, and the unique, wonderful way Savannah brings light to the people around her.

Savannah, your kindness, hard work, and beautiful smile made this morning unforgettable. Wishing you an amazing senior year and so much continued success in everything you set your hands to!

Evan's Backyard Senior Session

There is a specific kind of magic—and an undeniable tug at the heartstrings—when you look through your camera viewfinder at a high school senior and distinctly remember holding them as a tiny baby.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Evan since his very first days coming into child care. Over the years, I’ve watched him grow from a curious, wide-eyed little boy into a kind, grounded, and remarkable young man, alongside watching his younger sisters grow up right behind him. Being trusted to document this milestone for Evan and his family isn’t just another shoot on my calendar; it’s one of those full-circle moments that reminds me why I fell in love with portrait photography in the first place.

For Evan’s session, there was no crowded park or generic backdrop. Instead, we stayed right at home, tucked into the vibrant autumn landscape of Chester.

Between the rich amber maples, rustic stone walls, and the golden October light filtering through the yard, the setting was classic Vermont fall at its best. But more importantly, it was his. Every corner of the property carries a memory—childhood games, family milestones, and years of growing up.

Location Spotlight: Why Choosing a Meaningful Spot Matters

When seniors ask me where they should take their portraits, my first question is always: Where do you feel the most like yourself?

Scenic Vermont landmarks and mountain vistas are stunning, but having your photos taken somewhere personal changes everything:

• Comfort brings confidence: Stepping in front of a professional camera can feel intimidating. Being on familiar ground—whether it's your own backyard, a family camp, or the woods you grew up exploring—instantly lowers your shoulders and brings out genuine, relaxed smiles.

• The background supports your story, not the other way around: A great portrait is never about showing off an extravagant tourist location. You are always the focus, not the background. The right setting serves as a quiet frame that elevates your personality and adds emotional depth without competing for attention.

• Built-in nostalgia: Years from now, when you look back at your senior album, you won’t just see what you looked like at seventeen or eighteen. You’ll see the place that shaped you before you stepped out into the world.

Evan, thank you for letting me capture this chapter. Watching you grow has been an absolute joy, and while seeing you stand on the edge of graduation is undeniably bittersweet, I couldn't be prouder of the young man you've become. The future is wide open for you!

Michell's Eureka Schoolhouse Senior Session

Some kids step in front of the lens ready to strike a catalog pose, and then there is Mitchell. He has marched entirely to the beat of his own drum for as long as I have known him, turning every single youth sports photo day into a test of quick reflexes and genuine laughter. When it came time to plan his senior portraits, I knew better than to expect a traditional, sit-and-smile afternoon. Naturally, this session was no exception.

We met at the historic Eureka Schoolhouse, where weathered timber and afternoon light set the stage for the grand finale of a family milestone. Mitchell is the youngest of four, and having photographed two of his older brothers for their own senior milestones, this session felt like closing a beloved chapter (yes, there were tears). There is a rare kind of comfort that comes from working with a family across the years. It creates an unspoken shorthand, a relaxed rhythm where nobody has to pretend, and nobody feels the pressure to perform.

Which was fortunate, because Mitchell’s default setting during our session consisted almost entirely of deadpan, stone-faced mug shot expressions.

Anyone else might have panicked behind the camera, wondering if they would ever get a portrait Mom could hang on the wall. But when you have watched a kid grow up from the sidelines of the field to the cusp of graduation, you learn the secret: you don't fight the dry humor, you lean right into it. The magic never lives in the stiff, coaxed smiles anyway. It lives entirely in the split seconds between the bits—the sudden, unfiltered grin when he thought he had successfully broken character, the eye roll that melted into real laughter, and the quiet, grounded moments of a young man standing on the edge of his next big adventure.

Against the classic backdrop of the schoolhouse, we got both sides of Mitchell. We got the sharp, timeless portraits his family will cherish forever, and we kept every ounce of the unapologetic, independent spark that makes Mitchell who he is.

Lyric Turning Senior Portraits Upside Down!

Every high school senior starts checking the 10-day forecast the second their session date is locked in. If the forecast doesn’t show wall-to-wall sunshine, the panic usually sets in fast.

Lyric’s senior session is the ultimate proof that you should take a deep breath and never fret over an overcast sky.

In fact, diffused, cloudy light is often a photographer’s absolute secret weapon. It softens shadows, lets colors pop with incredible depth, and opens up locations that are otherwise off-limits. Take the dam with Mount Ascutney sweeping across the background. On a bright, sunny afternoon, that shot is nearly impossible—the blazing golden sun sits directly across from the mountain, meaning you’d be squinting straight into intense sunlight! Thanks to the cloud cover, we were able to frame that iconic peak perfectly without harsh glare, keeping the focus entirely on Lyric’s quiet confidence against our favorite local backdrop.

Beyond working with the elements, the heart of any great senior session is capturing who you actually are right now. For Lyric, that meant honoring her life as a dancer. Senior portraits should feel like a celebration of your craft, not just stiff poses on a bench, so we made sure movement was woven into every step of the shoot.

Lyric brought that vision to life effortlessly. Hello, do you see that flawless Y-extension in jeans?! Pulling off that level of flexibility and control in everyday denim is no small feat, showing off years of discipline, grace, and athletic strength wrapped up in an image that feels authentic, spontaneous, and undeniably her.

Between the moody skies framing Ascutney and capturing the lines of a dancer who commands every frame, this session was a reminder that perfection isn't about clear skies. It’s about leaning into the day, trusting the light, and letting what you love take center stage.

Logan's Quintessential Vermont Senior Session

Scouting the perfect portrait location is often one of the most stressful parts of planning a senior session. Between chasing the right golden hour light, finding privacy, and hunting down scenery that actually matches a senior's style, the search can easily feel overwhelming. But every once in a while, you strike absolute gold without ever having to leave the driveway.

That was exactly the case for Logan’s senior session. Instead of driving across the county to hunt down backdrops, we had an entire Vermont dreamscape waiting right in his own backyard.

Having relocated from California to Vermont as a young teen, Logan has truly made the Green Mountain landscape his home. From the weathered texture of a classic barn to the quiet rush of a stony stream winding through the property, every corner offered something distinct. We caught the late afternoon sun spilling across open, golden fields, framed effortless portraits beneath towering maple trees, and leaned into the timeless charm of a rustic split-rail fence. The familiarity of his own property set an easy, relaxed rhythm that let his natural confidence take center stage.

Now a member of the Woodstock Union High School Class of 2027, Logan is already gearing up for his next major transitions. While these portraits celebrate the Vermont home that shaped his teenage years, his vision stretches far beyond state lines. He has massive ambitions on the horizon, with his sights firmly set on studying abroad in global hubs like Dubai and Tokyo, alongside big plans for Washington, D.C.

There is something truly special about capturing a senior at this exact crossroad: grounded in the place he calls home, yet ready to take on the world. Logan, thank you for welcoming me to your incredible slice of Vermont—it was an absolute honor to document this chapter before your next great adventure takes flight.

Liam's Kick-off to Senior Season for the Class of 2027

There is something profoundly bittersweet about standing on the sidelines with a camera, watching a town’s kids grow up one season at a time. One year they are swimming in jerseys three sizes too big, chasing balls across dewy autumn grass with unbridled energy, and the next, they are stepping in front of my lens as high school seniors ready to take on the world.

Liam’s senior session brought all of those years rushing back at once. Having watched and photographed Liam throughout his athletic journey, seeing him step into his senior year is a poignant reminder of just how fast time slips through our fingers. The grit, the laughter on the bench, the quiet determination before game time—all those fleeting moments on the field shape these incredible young adults, and capturing this pivotal milestone for Liam was an absolute honor.

Naturally, we had to spend part of our session at Brown Field. There is a special kind of magic under those stadium lights and across that turf. It is a place filled with the echoes of Friday night cheers, hard-fought victories, and deep community pride. Incorporating the field into a senior session isn’t just about sports; it’s about honoring the ground where memories were forged, friendships were built, and countless hours of passion were poured out.

As we wrapped up Liam’s solo portraits, we made sure to do something I encourage every family to do: we got mom into the frame.

Senior year often feels like a whirlwind of countdowns, paperwork, and milestone checklists. In the rush, parents tend to step back, content to watch from behind the scenes. But this milestone belongs to you, too. You are the ones who spent cold mornings tying cleats, cheered until your voice gave out, drove countless miles to away games, and loved them every step of the way. Stepping into just two or three frames with your senior isn't about being perfectly posed—it’s about freezing the quiet pride, the tight hugs, and the bond that will carry them into their next chapter.

Liam, wishing you an unforgettable senior year. Freeze these moments, soak up every game, and never forget the roots you planted right here.

Emily’s Ole Miss Senior Session: A Journey of Community, Culture, and Growth

What a journey this has been!

As Emily approached the end of her high school junior year, she wasn’t entirely sure what she wanted out of her college experience, beyond a few non-negotiables: a deep sense of community, an infectious school spirit, and a place that felt like home.

In June 2021, we decided it was time to find out. Rachel, Emily, Chase, and I packed up the car and embarked on an epic college tour road trip. We mapped out stops at several emerging top choices, including the University of Delaware, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Mississippi.

Now, Delaware and Tennessee certainly had their perks—including a nearby Duck Donuts, which is always a tough selling point to beat! But the moment we drove onto the campus of Ole Miss, we knew in our guts that she had found her place. The stunning design and sheer beauty of the campus felt like a southern, sun-drenched version of a charming New England town.

From Acceptance Letters to the Big Decision

By the time Emily's high school senior year rolled around, the acceptance letters were plentiful. She had options close to home and far away, adding the Universities of Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island to an already impressive list.

Ultimately, the final decision came down to a classic head-versus-heart showdown between Delaware and Mississippi. While Delaware offered an incredibly tempting study abroad program, Ole Miss’s undeniable charm—coupled with it being the financially smarter choice—won the day.

Looking back, it is funny how things work out. She may have chosen Mississippi over Delaware's travel program, but you can't clip the wings of a natural explorer.

Watching a World Traveler Take Flight

Over these last four years, we have had the absolute privilege of watching Emily transform. She didn't just attend college; she threw herself into the world, transforming into a true global traveler willing to push herself far beyond her comfort zone to grow, learn, and experience life.

From the historic campus of Oxford to the cobblestone streets of Denmark, she has immersed herself in different cultures and embraced countless new experiences. Those opportunities have shaped her into the incredibly well-rounded, independent, and confident young woman she is today.

To Emily: Your pathway into the future still remains a bit of a mystery, but there is absolutely no doubt that you will make a profound impact on the world around you. We are so incredibly proud of you!

Behind the Lens: The Gallery

Below are a few favorite captures from Emily's senior session, celebrating the end of a beautiful chapter and the exciting beginning of the next.

Jayden ~ Green Mountain Union High School Class of 2026

Some sessions just feel like a perfect reflection of the person in front of the camera — and Jayden’s was one of those.

We met up at the North Springfield Dam on a late fall afternoon. After a lackluster season of color, it felt like Mother Nature saved a few bursts of gold and rust just for us. The light was soft, the air had that crisp, quiet feel that always comes at the edge of stick season, and it was the perfect backdrop for this senior milestone.

Jayden brought along two important supporters — his pup and his girlfriend — which made the afternoon feel even more personal. Between the laughter, the moments of calm, and the way his dog kept trying to make the session all about her (as they do), the whole session had this easy, down-to-earth energy that fit Jayden perfectly.

Watching seniors step into this season of “almost there” — balancing the excitement of what’s next with the comfort of what’s familiar — never gets old. Jayden carries it all with quiet confidence, kindness, and a sense of fun that made this session such a joy to capture.

Congratulations, Jayden — Class of 2026 is yours to make something amazing.

Ella ~ Springfield High School Class of 2026

This one hits me right in the heart.

I’ve known Ella since before she was even born — I’ve worked with her dad for years, so watching her grow up into the amazing young woman she is today has been something truly special. It feels like just yesterday she was visiting the office in her car seat and now here she is — a senior.

Ella has always been an athlete through and through. A standout on the soccer field, known for her determination, her smile, and the way she makes everything look effortless. But this past summer threw her a curveball — a season-ending injury that meant surgery, pain, and a long road of recovery.

It would have been easy to get lost in the frustration of it all, but that’s not Ella. She’s shown incredible grit and grace in the face of disappointment, taking it one day at a time, finding strength in the hard parts, and keeping her eyes forward. That resilience shines through her photos — a quiet confidence, a strength that comes from getting through something tough and still smiling on the other side.

Spending the morning with Ella for her senior session was a joy — easy laughter, beautiful light, and the sense that she’s ready for whatever comes next.

Ella, I’m so proud of you and all the ways you’ve grown — on and off the field. Here’s to a strong finish to senior year and a bright road ahead.

Riley ~ Springfield High School Class of 2026

Riley’s senior session at Moody Park was one of those perfect fall afternoons — full of laughter, sunshine peeking through the trees, and of course, a special guest appearance by his dog, Mack. Mack was more than happy to join in the fun, keeping the energy high and making sure Riley didn’t take things too seriously between shots!

What stands out most about Riley isn’t just his easygoing smile or his great sense of humor — it’s his determination. He’s overcome some real challenges on his educational journey, and his perseverance has paid off in a big way. As he finishes his senior year strong, Riley’s also pursuing his passion for food and hospitality through the culinary program at RVTC.

If you haven’t already heard, the RVTC Café will be opening its doors soon — and Riley will be one of the friendly faces behind the scenes helping to prepare and serve the delicious meals. It’s clear that his hard work and heart for people will take him far.

Congratulations, Riley! You’ve earned every bit of this moment, and I can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you.

Cooper ~ Springfield High School Class of 2026

It’s amazing how quickly time moves. I still remember the first time I met Cooper — he was just a little guy at the local preschool when I photographed the school for the very first time. He and his sister stood out with their bright blonde curls and the kind of smiles that filled the room. Fun fact, while in Preschool Cooper managed to convince his teachers that his faithful companion, George the monkey absolutely needed to be in his photo, and honestly, he wasn’t wrong. It was pure Cooper — charming, clever, and full of heart.

Fast forward to now, and that same spark is still there. Cooper has grown into a smart, driven young man — a dedicated athlete and an even more dedicated member of his community. He’s a constant presence at the Snack Shack, helping out with a smile, and is often spotted in the stands during basketball season, selling popcorn and drinks to support his school. His quiet reliability and willingness to pitch in wherever needed say so much about the kind of person he’s become.

During his senior session, we were chasing that perfect in-between-season light — not quite stick season yet, but full of that mellow, moody, Noah Kahan energy. Cooper brought that same steady, grounded spirit to the shoot, making it feel effortless.

Watching kids I once photographed in preschool now standing on the edge of graduation is one of the greatest joys of what I do. Seeing Cooper in front of my lens for portraits again — now taller, wiser, and giving back in so many ways — was such a full-circle moment. Here’s a little peek at his session, and a quiet celebration of how far he’s come. 🍂📸

Gage ~ Springfield High School Class of 2026

Gage, Springfield High School Class of 2026, has always been a special part of my life. From the moment he was a tiny toddler, I remember seeing his bright eyes and contagious smile, full of curiosity and joy. He would come to the house for child care, a little boy with boundless energy and an eagerness to explore the world around him.

As the years went by, Gage's love for the gym and basketball only grew stronger. I’ve watched him spend countless hours on the court, perfecting his shot, pushing himself to be better, and inspiring others with his dedication and passion. His love for the game isn’t just about winning; it’s about the discipline, the teamwork, and the pure joy that basketball brings him.

What truly sets Gage apart is his desire to include everyone. As a partner on the Unified Basketball team, he demonstrates kindness, patience, and a true sense of community. Watching him play, I see not just a player, but a friend to all, someone who lifts others up and makes them feel seen and valued.

Gage’s journey is even more heartwarming because he’s always been surrounded by love and loyalty, especially from his 17-year-old dog. That faithful companion has been with him through every milestone, every challenge, and every joy. Even as his dog has grown older, his love and care never wavered, showing Gage’s compassionate heart and his deep capacity for connection. That bond between Gage and his dog is a beautiful testament to his caring nature and the special way he loves those around him—whether human or furry.

Gage’s journey from childhood to now is one of growth, resilience, and unwavering spirit. He’s not just a student or an athlete; he’s a beacon of positivity and a reminder that love, dedication, and kindness can truly change the world.

Gage, I am so incredibly proud of the young man you’ve become. Keep chasing your dreams, on and off the court. The future is yours, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do.

Daxton ~ Woodstock Union High School Class of 2026

Recently I found myself in one of Vermont’s signature fall moments — a thick, whispering fog settling softly over the landscape. Shooting in foggy conditions is always something special. The subdued light filters through the mist, creating a mysterious, almost enchanted atmosphere that’s very different from the golden hour’s warm glow. It’s a quiet beauty — ethereal and calming — that lends a dreamlike quality to every shot, capturing the essence of those fleeting fall mornings in Vermont.

I had the pleasure of photographing Daxton, a proud member of Woodstock Union High School’s Class of 2026. He’s a young man with big dreams in his heart — hoping to go into engineering someday. It’s inspiring to see his drive and excitement for the future, already envisioning a path filled with innovation and problem-solving.

This session was especially meaningful because I’ve had the privilege of working with his family before. Three years ago, I photographed his brother’s senior photos. Seeing families grow and being part of these important milestones is truly a privilege, and I’m incredibly grateful for their continued trust over the years.

As Daxton heads into his final year of high school, I’m excited to see the bright future that awaits him. Here’s to a memorable senior year — filled with discovery, growth, and all the adventures that lie ahead.

Celebrating Jenn & Seth’s Love: A Beautiful Wedding on a Fall Day in New England

Jenn and Seth said “I do” in a wedding surrounded by the stunning colors of New England fall. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a future built on patience, partnership, and shared dreams.

Jenn, a dedicated teacher with a heart full of kindness and patience for her kindergarten students, exemplifies love in action every day. Her gentle spirit and nurturing nature shine through not only in her work but also in her relationship with Seth.

Seth, eager to join in her world, is already helping her bring her vision to life—whether it’s projects to make her classroom more inviting or just supporting her as she navigates life’s new chapters. Their teamwork and mutual support speak volumes about the strength of their bond.

Their wedding day was a beautiful testament to the merging of two families, a celebration of their adult love and the bright future ahead. With the vibrant hues of fall as a perfect backdrop, every moment was captured against a scene as warm and colorful as the love they share.

Like a story straight out of a Disney fairy tale, Jenn and Seth’s union is rooted in genuine affection, joy, and the magic of new beginnings.

These images are more than just photographs—they tell the story of a love that’s deep, resilient, and beautifully unfolding amid the breathtaking scenery of New England’s autumn.

Congratulations, Jenn and Seth — may your days be filled with happiness, love, and maybe even a little Disney magic.

Ainsley & Brett | A Picture-Perfect New England Day

Some stories feel like they’ve been woven together long before a wedding day arrives, and Ainsley & Brett’s is one of them.

Ainsley has been a muse of mine for years, growing up in front of my lens in her endless array of dance costumes. Her parents have been dear friends for as long as I can remember. And Brett? He’s the nephew of Rachel’s longtime best friend—another tie that made this day feel like family in every direction. Capturing the merger of these two families, both so near and dear to our hearts, was truly an honor.

The day couldn’t have been more beautiful—picture-perfect New England skies graced their celebration at Monarch Farms in Claremont. Love and laughter filled every corner, from the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception. Country Chic Flowers brought soft, romantic blooms to life, Toot Sweets Confectionary crafted a cake almost too pretty to cut, and Lui & Lui’s kept everyone happily fed. Brian Zutter Productions made sure the dance floor stayed full—and busy it was, all night long!

It was one of those weddings where joy overflowed, where love felt tangible, and where family and friendship wrapped around the day like a perfect embrace.

Congratulations, Ainsley & Brett—you created a day as radiant and unforgettable as the two of you.
