After the 4 hour drive to the small Northern Vermont…

Sam & Sammy’s Back Yard Wedding BBQ

Winter Wonderland - Charlton, MA Photography
As we drove through the woods on a seemingly endless dirt driveway, I doubted that this place actually existed. It just looked like a normal house and driveway. That’s when the trees opened up to a small winter wonderland. It had snowed a week or so before the session, but…

Kids are way cooler than grownups.
When I meet kids at weddings, I love to make them smile right away…even if they’re the shy type I can usually get them to be my best friend within a few minutes. We can thank my blended family and 8 siblings for that gift
