Trail Running Camp
I’ve been taking my running pretty easily the last couple of months while recovering from some patellar tendinopathy but dove back in last week to photograph the Pemi Loop and Devil’s Path. The physical therapy I’ve been doing with Danielle at Starting Line paid off and I’m feeling injury-free after two big days in the…

Bioversity for MCPHS
Jennifer from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) reached out last month about photographing a new 8-week job training program they were running with MassBio in Boston. I love being in labs and jumped at the opportunity to document the inaugural Bioversity class. It was one of the more welcoming classroom situations I’ve…

Mohonk Mountain House Via Ferrata for Groundswell Media Lab
Caity from Groundswell Media Lab reached out last fall for help filming a series of short videos on a pair of new via ferratas at the Mohonk Mountain House. She specifically needed someone to film with a drone, climb on the cliffs, and create nice well-lit interviews and I was more than happy to join…

New Portraits at MIT
I love the challenge of creating portraits of a new person in just a few minutes. It’s a fascinating combination of making the subject feel comfortable in a few quick seconds and then helping them pose and look their best in as many different poses as I can fit in the allotted time. I always…

Looking Back at Fall
I’ve already forgotten my solstice goal but I can remember that Ezra’s is to go rock climbing so we have 23 days to find a baby-sized boulder for him. This morning’s sun made me nostalgic for warmer days and then looking ahead to winter fun. I don’t feel like I have any sort of “normal”…

Maine Author Portraits
Yesterday, I spent the morning with local author Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder in the grasslands of Kennebunk Plains. I had never been there before but a friend had recently mentioned it as a unique habitat in Maine and it resembles the grasslands of Nantucket and Oklahoma, where Chelsea grew up, so we thought it would be a…

Winterberry Farm Documentary Filming
Dylan and I have been filming a documentary on Winterberry Farm in Belgrade for the last couple of months. We are going to follow Mary and her family in their final year as a farm after twenty years in Belgrade. It’s been great to spend time with Mary, two of her kids, and her lovely…

A Rainy Trip Down Memory Lane
Emma and I just booked a place up in Lubec for a little later this fall and it sent my mind back to our last visit there: It was pouring almost the entire weekend. Emma was pregnant and we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. We were all very cold (Dilly included) but did get…

XTERRA World Championship
I spent a day with Patrick Caron exploring the new course at Sugarloaf Mountain for the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. It’s a completely new race so my task was to film and edit a video that introduced people to the trails and capture a few photos of Patrick running the course. We first met…

Presi Traverse Trail Run
This summer, I’ve been mainly focused on parenting my son, commercial photography and filmmaking work, and visiting family all around New England. This hasn’t left quite as much time as usual for spontaneous big days out in the mountains but tomorrow I’m headed to Baxter for the first time for trail running adventures with Kellan,…

L.L. Bean or Photographing Vacationalnd
I first photographed for L.L. Bean back in 2016 and have been lucky enough to be invited back for a variety of projects in the years since. Each trip feels like a walk through my childhood memories of what it’s like to be out in nature without commitments. We’re building real fun and it’s my…

Acadia Running Retreat with Mirna
Here are some scenes from the Mirna Valerio x Aire Libre trail running trip to Acadia in June: Whew! What an amazing weekend it was! Alongside Ian Ramsey, Ana, and Mirna it was so fun to see this trip finally come together after a few years of planning and I was so thankful to get…

David Bidler Portraits
I first met David Bidler while filming and photographing a project for Territory Run Co. on local teacher/musician/runner/writer Ian Ramsey. Ian belonged to David’s gym, The Distance Project in Freeport, so we filmed a few scenes there and then earlier this spring David reached back out for some portraits and we reconnected. We worked hard…

Snapshots of Fatherhood
Four months ago, on the coldest day of the year, Emma went into labor and both of our lives changed forever when our son Ezra arrived. At the beginning, it was an all hands on deck moment where we were both just working all day and night to keep Ezra alive as we tried to…

Boston Marathon Shoe for Topo Athletic
I fit in a few last minute shoots right before the start of paternity leave and one of my favorites was an afternoon project for Topo Athletics’ new Boston Marathon shoe. I was able to cast a model I had worked with on an L.L. Bean project a few years back, Siedah, which was a…
