Somehow 2014 crept in and booted out 2013 with an unsurpassed ninja stealth that only seems to be growing as I get older. Christmas went by in a blur and Chanukah snuck in and out before I even realized the holiday season was upon us.

The good news is that I had 2 wonderful sessions to wrap up 2013 and make the snowy, slushy, chilly end of the year as memorable as the warmer seasons. 

A few days before Christmas I met with the Madden clan at one of the coolest houses I never knew existed in Guilford, VT, where they converged to spend a few days all together as a family before they diverged for the remainder of the season. They were patient, hearty (we held the session outside), and most importantly, photogenic. We managed to capture 3 generations of charm and good humor. 

My final session of the year took place in Windsor, VT where I spent the afternoon with the Kreiger family, documenting gingerbread baking, and the interaction of 4 generations. We ended with a family portrait next to the fireplace with Great-Grandma in the rocking chair surrounded by her loving family. 

It was a fabulous way to usher out 2013 and get ready for a new year of photography!
