Mara.

I don't photograph senior portraits very often, but I wish I did... this was so fun. I spent a wonderful afternoon in South Charleston farm country with Mara, an accomplished pianist, tennis player, and 4-H Grand Champion at this year's Clark County fair. I loved all the animals following us around on the shoot!

Photo safari.

The best part of my Vermont photo safari was getting together with my friend and fellow photographer, JAMIE BRASSARD. I've always admired her discipline in completing a "40 days of fall" project every year (I can't seem to bring myself to commit to any sort of "photo a day" project whatsoever!). While visiting her in Vermont, we spent a morning driving the back roads around Hinesburg, stopping at Mt. Philo to enjoy the view and parking in whatever side-of-the-road weed patches we could find when we found an inspiring landscape.
