Biography
My lifelong love of the natural world is something that I always try to share with others. Nature has always been able to humble me and put my world back into perspective. When I was in my teens I developed a passion for photography, mixed with my love for nature, the outdoor photographer was born. My passion for the outdoors may have been instilled in me mainly from the fact that I grew up in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. A place that on any given day, I can take a few steps off of my porch, and have at least a handful of excellent photo opportunities.All of this led me to The New York Institute of Photography, from which I got my professional photography diploma. In March of 2006 my husband, Dylan and I opened Nostalgic Images, in Kirby Vermont. This year I won 2nd place in the Kirby Landscapes Photo Contest. I sell fine art prints, on archival quality paper. There are many sizes available, contact me for custom sizing, or framing and matting pricing. I also sell my photos in greeting cards, which can be found in shops in my area (see links). Up until this year, I used a 35mm film SLR camera exclusively, just recently adding a digital SLR to my equipment.
My goal was to give at least one person a little beauty and hope in their lives. Recently I spoke with a man who said one of my photo cards did just this. I had a table set up at a local festival, as soon as he saw my cards, he asked me if I was the photographer. He then told me he had purchased my card of spring daffodils. He also let me know how much it had helped him through one of the darkest times of his life, during his cancer treatment. It was winter when he bought my photo. He took it home, placed it on his mantel, and it gave him something to look forward to. Being a person who has lost a loved one to cancer, this knowledge deeply moved me.
Soon after, I realized I had fulfilled what I orginially set out to do when I decided to be a photographer. So I have since expanded my goal to giving as many people a little bit of nature, beauty and hope in their lives through my photography as I can. I hope this website is a step in that direction. I welcome all comments, suggestions, and advice.
