Growing up on a small family farm, in a small town in rural Vermont, I learned to appreciate the God-given beauty around me.
-From the taste of sap in late Winter to the peepers singing in early Spring.
-From the first signs of green in Spring and the vibrant colors and smells of lilacs, tulips, and freshly mowed lawns in late Spring.
-From throwing hay bales in the hot summer sun to Sunday drives around Vermont, with a creamy somewhere along the road.
-From walking the dirt road to the bus stop with crips leaves crunching underfoot to the sharp smell of Winter on the air.

And while I love Vermont, I also like to explore different parts of the USA and Europe. (I also don’t mind revisiting places I’ve already traveled to.) And I love sharing the beauty I’ve seen with you!

In my photography, I strive for honesty and simplicity (minimal editing). I hope you use the digital download photos to help you relax and destress. I hope you use the scenic landscape greeting cards to send a smile through the mail to a loved one, to reach out and connect with a friend, and to reconnect with a family member. I hope you hang your 8x10 prints where you will see them and smile.
