new card designs

strawberry heaven & farm baby......two new over-sized custom greeting card designs from a photo shoot i did a few weeks ago...

little farmer boy

what a gorgeous day it was, and what a fantastic little man I got to spend the morning with- thanks Jen for such fun!!

poppy garden

flowering...

My walk went well, I found the small grove of native White Wild Bleeding Heart- also found the painted trillium growing like mad as well. the wild strawberries are flowering too - how i love spring.

also I found this sweet red spotted newt. three newts came round in one day!

shadowbox spring day

the work days always seem most fulfilling to me - waiting for the weather to warm sufficiently, patience i have not.

the manure is raked thoroughly through the garden, waiting for the veggies to be transplanted...the beds are watered...the lavender is coming back of its own accord. the native strawberries are flowering - so much life and growing going on everywhere.


you know it is spring in vermont when the violets and trilliums have popped.


i love making violet sugar and sugared violets this time of year. we have many violet species, purple, white, yellow, and combinations thereof. the baby violet leaves are great salad greens.



Trillium erectum are pictured here, a native VT purple varietal. sad to not see any of the white Trillium grandiflorum, or the painted trilliums on the land so far, but i'll be happy with what i have. it is so exciting to see everything coming to life once again.

i'll be taking a walk to a favorite hiding spot of native white bleeding hearts and jack in the pulpits today or tomorrow....pictures to come if they are around!

spring fever

i've got a fevah - for spring.

me and winter photography

sneak peak of a photoshoot I did recently- my models this time around were the Buskirks Bridge, and some very sweet, beautiful animals on a gorgeous farm.

These are for a focal wall in my clients' newly renovated barn home - focusing in on the Buskirks Bridge, which has a particular place in their hearts - as well as the animals, land and home that they love so much.

I have not shot much in winter, mostly b/c of my irrational fear of cold, and of course it was a VERY cold day here, as it has been the past few weeks in New England...but such beautiful light and shadows came about in the photos. PERFECT for black and white photography.

Guess who's been hanging out in the winter wonderland more often? <--------
