For those of you who want to easily order your holiday cards AND give a little back to to the animals this year, I have created a couple of ready-to-order designs featuring some adorable shelter residents. Since these cards have already been designed they cannot be customized, which helps maximize the portion that HSCC receives...

Golden Huggs Rescue
It’s probably pretty obvious that I love to work with animal rescue groups. All of my own furry family members were either taken in off the street, adopted from homes that could no longer care for them, or adopted through a rescue organization. A few months ago I was contacted by Brigitte from Golden Huggs...
Announcing My 2009 Custom Holiday Card Offerings!
The snow has hardly flown yet and this week has started off so warm that you might think spring is on the way, but don’t let that keep you from starting to plan your holiday cards! I am very excited to offer some lovely, flexible designs this year. I’ve chosen designs that are modern yet...
Ivana Iguana Wisdom and Rescue
Part of being a well-rounded animal photographer is learning to work with many different species. Today I worked with JoAnn Nichols who runs Ivana Iguana and provides “Wisdom and Rescue” for some wonderful and unusual reptiles. Ian and I met and photographed 10 of those scaly creatures in what was a fun, challenging, and informative...
Midnight Shadow and Foxy Lady
Adored by their human mom and dad, Midnight Shadow and Foxy Lady won me over instantly. I first met them at Shelburne Museum Goes to the Dogs when they stopped by for a free sitting. A week later I had an appointment to photograph these lovely little dogs again, but this time at Taylor Park...
Back in the "field"
Last week my mom, my sister, and I headed to Gloucester, Massachusetts to spend a few days together. Up here in Vermont the leaves are changing, the air is damp and chilly, and the first snow is really not that far away. When I got into “Glosta” it was the complete opposite – a bubble...
Cat Whispering
My husband, Ian, is lovingly referred to as “Mr. Catwhisperer” because he has an uncanny ability to calm stressed cats. I am incredibly lucky to have him as my assistant at many portrait sessions. He’s not just a helper though. Without his patience and dedication I would simply not be able to get the wonderful...
300
No, not the movie. 300 is the number of individual animals that I have photographed at the Humane Society of Chittenden County since January. 305 animals, to be exact. I estimate around 13,000 shutter clicks and countless treats. I patted myself on the back at 100 and didn’t even think about it as I whizzed...
The First Mischief
I have been giving a lot of thought as to how I might construct my first blog post and the truth is, I always get distracted with working up another portrait, looking at other people’s work or, shockingly, actually making pictures. I have never felt that my words have been able to fully explain my...
