My favorite photos always happen about five minutes after everyone stops trying to make everything perfect. The dog’s licking someone’s face, one of the kids is farting mid-hug, someone is trying to hold it together—and suddenly everyone’s laughing. That’s the moment when I click the shutter: when the pressure drops and it just feels like you. I’m based in Poultney and often travel through Middletown, Castleton, Dorset, and other small Vermont towns where these moments unfold.
When we work together, you can expect a laid-back, collaborative experience that meets you where you are. I’ll guide you gently while giving you the space to be yourselves—no awkward poses or forced smiles. Whether we’re chasing golden light through Vermont’s hills, forests, and lakes, or cozying up in a space that feels like home, the goal is always the same: to create honest, emotive images that feel like memories in the making.
"Martin makes you feel like you have known him for years from the second you meet him. He is so relaxed and very open to any visions you have! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes such pride in all of his work."
"You don't have to worry about feeling awkward."
