Derby Dames vs NHRD Roller Derby

Saturday’s double bout against New Hampshire was full of drama and action. Both Grade A Fancy and Black Ice Brawlers skated their hearts out and the fans really cheered them on. Unfortuntately, New Hampshire’s SKATE FREE OR DIE and the Queen City Cherry Bombs were just a little too aggressive for our Dames, but we’ll [...]

Girls on the run!

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont is one of the main sponsors of Girls on The Run and also one of my main clients, so each year, I photograph for them the big GIRLS ON THE RUN 5k race at Essex Junction Fairgrounds.  AND, each year the event gets larger and larger. It is amazing [...]

Derby Dames vs. Killah Bees

Win or lose, there ain’t nothin’ like a DAME!!!
Yesterday’s Green Mountain Derby Dames bout with Killah Bees was awesome and it came right down to the wire as to which team would squeek out the win. OK, so it wasn’t our Gals, but it was still a total ball to watch them skate!
Check out the [...]

Hangin’ with the Derby Dames

Last night the Green Mountain Derby Dames took on the Maine Calamity Janes in an awesome roller derby match held at Essex Fairgrounds. About 2000 fans filled the arena for two hours of “down-and-derby” action with our hometown gals winning 98-50! I admit it- I am hooked! I ‘m a fan! I immediately came home [...]

A picture and a promise

Yesterday, I volunteered at the Go Red For Women luncheon, where I set up a small portrait studio and photographed the atendees donning red hats, feather boas… and lots of attitude.  The idea was for each woman to fill out a card, promising herself something importrant (like to move more and sit less, avoid M&M’s [...]

Cabaret at Temple Sinai

My wonderfully talented  friend, Judy Alexander,  and her equally talented husband, Bruce Chalmer, made their cabaret debut Saturday night at Temple Sinai in South Burlington, as a benefit for the synagogue. By day,  Judy is the Religious school director and torah chanting master (not a technical term!).  Bruce has brought new choral music and other educational additions  to the [...]

50 plus and Babyboomers Expo

Every year, I shoot the 50 plus expo for their sponsor, Vermont Maturity Magazine, and it’s always such fun. Held at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center Saturday, the event (this was the 15th annual!) is designed especially for those age 50 and older, but all ages are welcome. Highlights included a fashion show, a dance, [...]

The ONE fashion event!

The ONE fashion Event was held at Higher Ground last night to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Burlington, featuring fashions from over 15 stores and local designers. For the 4th year running, it was THE place to be for boatloads of fun, fashion, shmoozing and dancing to music provided by DJ Rob Jones from [...]
