I have always loved capturing moments in time with my camera. It began in high school taking photos for the yearbook and has evolved over the years into taking photos at different sporting events, fireworks displays, and of the natural beauty I find in my travels.

The transition to professional photography started innocently enough with a calendar of cows for our daughter. Trapp Family Lodge’s herd of Scottish Highlanders is not far from us so I spent a year having coffee (or cocktails) with the cows taking photos for a calendar for her.

This quickly escalated into spending days sitting in snow banks waiting for a snowy owl to wake up and taking photo safaris around Vermont. I love to capture the character, energy, and beauty of our natural surroundings. I hope you enjoy my photographs.

Originally from Ware, Massachusetts, Dean and his wife Melodie now call Walden, Vermont home. Dean enjoys shooting all of what Vermont has to offer, with a focus on our varied landscapes, native wildlife, dark skies, and of course historic barns and covered bridges.

We are thrilled to offer Dean’s photography in prints, metals and as custom orders. He’s constantly sharing new work as the seasons turn.

Ember Photography is a husband and wife photography team in Moretown, Vermont.

"Ember Photography specializes in outdoor adventure, weddings, photojournalism, portraiture, architectural and marketing photography. We also shoot for a wide variety of editorial, commercial and non-profit clients worldwide. Ultimately, we enjoy photographing anything that truly catches our eyes.

Lucky enough to have been born and raised in New England, we have learned to embrace Mother Nature’s many moods. After all, says a dear friend of ours, 'If there’s no rain… there are no rainbows.' Since meeting in 1998, we’ve shaped our lives around a simple desire to visually capture and communicate the beauty and essence of this incredible planet and its people. And whether we are on a mountain top in Arctic Greenland or documenting a wedding close to home in Vermont, the world never ceases to inspire us.

Today, our photographic work is widely published and relied upon by a great variety of editorial, non-profit and commercial clients locally and around the globe – a list including Patagonia Inc., Outside Magazine, Winter Wildlands Alliance, Iceland Tourism, the New York Times, Mad River Glen and many others. With respect to  weddings, we work closely as a team, and schedule only 10-12 weddings each year. Deeply in love ourselves, weddings are one of our favorite subjects, and we greatly enjoy documenting these incredible celebrations of life, love and family.

Most know us for our love for nature, travel and outdoor adventure – especially human-powered outdoor adventure. No doubt, these subjects drive much of our work, while providing excellent fodder for our own series of multi-media presentations. Since 2001, we’ve presented shows to over one hundred venues in New England and across the country. Additionally, we exhibit our strongest work in a fine-art setting at several galleries, stores and gathering places throughout New England."

Originally from Chicago, Julia moved to Vermont 25 years ago and now lives in Hyde Park. Deeply rooted in the nonprofit, educational, and arts communities, she spends her days supporting children and families through her work, while finding time to enjoy all that Vermont has to offer.

A poet and photographer since childhood, Julia draws endless inspiration from the quiet beauty of the natural world. Over time, the camera and pen became tools of peace and clarity—but her truest teachers have always been the trees. She believes the Earth holds deep wisdom—if we only pause to listen.

Through her collaboration with words and nature, Julia’s creative journey is grounded in love, light, and connection.
