Aperitivo: Sardinia Italy!

Chrystal and I arrive back safely and without delay last evening from our week in Sardinia, Italy. We luckily missed the impending ash cloud descending on Italy from the volcanic eruption in Iceland. I was so excited to share some images from our time on assignment at Casa Tuelada that I uploaded a few of the following. This will be the “Aperitivo” (The drink in late afternoon before a great meal), many more to come of this exclusive vacation villa as well as the portraits I took of the Bortolotti family!

Andersen Family

I was happy to return to my home state of Vermont and happier still to spend time with and photograph this beautiful family of four. We spent time at Shelburne Farms and strolled down Church Street in Burlington. The weather in Vermont can be very unpredictable, one minute sunny and warm the next cloudy and uncooperative… come to think about it, its a lot like photographing kids. However, on this day all of the elements came together.

Gone Fishing!

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to North Carolina to shoot two brothers fishing (Tyler and Grayson). I wish I got along with my siblings this well when I was younger. The day worked out perfect as we had a rare day of February warmth and sunshine even for North Carolina standards, it snowed eight inches the next week!
