Love it when it snows during a shoot.

I’ve been scaling back my wedding floral work so that I can better focus on my photography and other creative floral work. I recently transitioned my floral studio into a photography-focused studio and I am SO excited for this new direction. This was the first shoot in my new studio with a new lighting set-up.

Tara asked me to create a botanical look for her maternity photos, so I built an entire outfit out of dried and fresh plants. The skirt is made with agonis and has a fringe of seeded phragmites, woven phagmites leaves, and a trim of fresh cedar. The top is also made with phragmites collected at an earlier time when the seeds haven’t opened and fluffed out yet, so they are darker and have a different texture. The trim and detail of the top are raw quartz crystals, and the straps are braided phragmites leaves.

The crown is made with fresh cedar, ornithogalum “Star of Bethlehem,” and spray roses.

Phragmites is an invasive wetland species. I love using it in my work because of its versatility; there is something beautiful about it during all of its life cycle, and every little bit that I collect helps to slow the spread.

The most touching part of this shoot for me was when Tara told me the story of what the red clay bowl meant to her; she had made it to represent her left o***y which was surgically removed many years ago due to endometriosis. Over the years, the bowl was a symbol of fertility and hope to her.

I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to create this look and to document this special time in ’s life.

I had a wonderful 3-part maternity shoot with . I built a botanical outfit that we shot in my studio, but we also wanted to make sure to do some more traditional maternity photos, which we did in Leslie Fry’s sculpture garden, and then we did some more at a location with a view of Mount Mansfield.

I wish I could post every photo from this amazing wedding at Hammond Castle. Both the interior and exterior of the castle are a photographer’s playground.

That couch.
That library.
That couple.

Hello Facebook World! I haven’t posted in awhile because I’ve been overwhelmed with editing deadlines and full-time childcare for two, so something had to give and that something was posting. I’ve taken some time off from doing photoshoots and will be using that time to get caught up on posting this past season’s work.

Here are some more photos from the amazing Hammond Castle Wedding I did the photos and flowers for in the fall. Hammond Castle Museum was the most picturesque venue I have ever seen and it was a true honor to be able to photograph it. These photos were taken in the atrium which consists of artifacts brought over from Europe by the castle’s creator John Hays Hammond Jr. in the early 20th Century. The atrium includes a swimming pool and a roof that opens to allow rain water in. It is a remarkable space that deserves a visit if you can get there.

Some sneak peeks from Jesse and Melissa’s beautiful wedding this past weekend. I had the honor of doing the photography and many of their flowers (all except the centerpieces). The rain stopped just for the ceremony and the photos. The Mad River Barn is a wonderful venue to work with, the staff could not have been more accommodating.

Congratulations Jesse and Melissa!

Congratulations to Carly and Patrick who just welcomed their new baby to the world!

Carly and I did a maternity shoot earlier in the summer, and here are my favorite shots from it. Carly’s enthusiasm was intoxicating, and just what I needed to be around as I was struggling through my 1st trimester at that point. Doing this shoot and editing her photos was a gift reminding me that it can get much easier after the first trimester is behind you.

So excited for their new journey, welcome to the world, Bowie!
