clare's photo stories

We went to DC last weekend to visit my sister and future brother-in-law, and while I didn’t take enough photos, I wanted to share some of the ones I did take. First stop was the Botanical Gardens which was bonkers-busy and crawling with way too many people, but it was so lovely and we enjoyed […]

Just some snippets of things around our humble abode. Enjoy.

So I have clearly been slacking HARDCORE when it comes to blogging. I have so many sessions and weddings to blog that the thought of doing any single one right now is entirely overwhelming. I promise I will eventually get to everyone’s sessions and weddings, and I probably should have used the off-season to catch […]

It’s about damn time I blogged this beautiful winter wedding. Alexis & James grew up together, and fate brought them together several years ago when they decided to start dating. The rest is history.

Even though we are at least six feet apart and wearing masks, of course. Regardless of how insane we all feel & how much sh*t 2020 has thrown at us, […]

My very best friends since birth moved up to Middlebury, Vermont when we were teenagers. While it was devastating when they left and I couldn’t run up the street in literally 30 seconds to see them anymore, it was great to know I had a place to escape to should I need a quick getaway. […]
