I have wanted to be a photographer for as long as I can remember. I started photography as a 4-H project while I was still in elementary school. I entered photos into local, county and regional contests. My photos did well and won prizes, and I loved the feedback from the judges. I grew to love my camera and seeing the world through it. In high school, I was a photographer for the school year book and for other various school activities. When I graduated in 2006, from Middlebury Union High School, I knew I wanted to be a professional photographer. I found McIntosh College in New Hampshire and it was the perfect fit for me. I graduated in December 2007 with my Associates Degree in Professional Photography. I enjoyed learning and being in a community of photographers developing our craft. I found that I love portraiture, landscape, and event photography.
I grew up on a sheep farm in a small town in Vermont at the end of a dirt road. I love Vermont, with the endless array of subjects to photograph on our farm. There are sheep, lambs, cows, ducks, roosters, chickens, horses, and two working sheep dogs. There is the incredible beauty that is all around the farm. My small rural community is filled with interesting, down to earth people to photograph. I am happy photographing a wedding or a County Fair, a senior portrait or an old barn. I want to capture the special, the surprising, the exciting, or the simple moments that are our lives.
