Woodstock, Vermont Portrait Sessions

Woodstock, Vermont Portrait Photography at Featherstone — A Place of Magic and Meaning

Nestled just minutes from downtown Woodstock, Featherstone is where many of my most heartfelt and artful portrait sessions come to life. This private, ever-changing landscape offers a backdrop that feels like stepping into a storybook—where every season brings its own kind of magic.

In spring and summer, lush gardens burst into bloom, surrounded by peaceful woodlands, babbling brooks, and quiet ponds. As autumn arrives, the land transforms into a kaleidoscope of fiery reds, amber golds, and dusky pinks. Winter reveals a moodier, medieval beauty—stone walls dusted with frost, mythical griffin statues, and snow-laced trees create the dreamlike feeling of fire and ice in Vermont.

Whether you're envisioning a lifestyle session full of natural joy or a fine art portrait with cinematic flair, Featherstone offers it all. Props like Venetian masks, vintage teddy bears, medieval cloaks, smoke grenades, and swords add a whimsical, otherworldly dimension. For younger ones, we have bubble machines, playful toys, and heirloom backdrops. My portable studio setup also allows for classical, Old Masters-inspired portraits with backdrops ranging from opulent interiors to fairytale forests and deconstructed factories.

Love horses? You’re welcome to bring your equine companion—there’s room to trailer in, and four private acres to explore (plus access to the scenic trails of Coolidge State Park just up the road). Dogs are always welcome too!

Hair and makeup services are available by request as well.

Many sessions begin here at Featherstone before continuing on to nearby Woodstock icons like the covered bridge, Billings Farm, or the charming village center.

Portrait sessions start at just $350. Whether you’re looking for magical fine art photography, a heartfelt family session, or something uniquely you—I'd love to help you bring your vision to life.
