Helps to have a cute kid who doesn’t (usually) mind sitting in once and while as a model.  Here’s Issy with another of Mike Millard’s gorgeous Froggys.  Been shooting with Mike and Co. for years now, and it’s always a good time.  To see more of these beautiful works of art, check out the Froggy site.

Liz and Chris Engagement Session at Killington

Snowy, a bit rainy, but a fun day.  A few diehard skiers slogging down the last two runs open.  Casual, relaxed, and fun time at the Killington Grand. Just the way we like it.

What can you say?  Diehard ‘Sox and Yankees fans decide to get married.  Spirited partisanship for at least six months of the year!  MTC…  HP

OK, it’s pretty rare that I gab about gear… as in never.  That said, gotta love the 70-200 2.8 VR Nikkor.  Gorgeous.

Shooting at the edges

George Morrill * Snow, Stars and Wild Honey

In photospeak I’m referring to my habit of paying attention to the “edges” of any event, because it’s often here, away from the most obvious action, that we get a chance to create some nice images.  The two shots here illustrate my point.  Father and son, enjoying a beautiful day, spending some time together celebrating the wedding of Ryan Darr and Peggy Kuhn.

The older gentleman, George Morrill, known around here as the author of, among other things, Snow, Stars and Wild Honey, about his first forays to VT in search of a place different than CT, was a host of sorts in that he had agreed to let the bride and groom utilize a gorgeous portion of his land for the ceremony.  Son Chris, driver of white Cadillacs and master house painter, was pleased to be able to host the ceremony for Ryan and Peggy.  No takers on a dip in the spring-fed pond replete with small diving board, but there’s almost always time for that later.

So it is that on the margins things happen that many miss, but reward us greatly if we’re paying attention.  Another of the benefits of doing this work, I guess.  More later…. HP
