My Name is Deniele Hayford and I make my home in East Alstead, New Hampshire. I grew up Middlebury, Vermont and lived much of my adult life in Burlington, Vermont.
 
From the time I was about 17 when my mother gave me my first Brownie camera I have enjoyed taking photos. Seems to me it’s a lot about wanting to “keep” a moment in time, be it a person or place or maybe a flower. I really got excited about photography when I discovered zoom lenses and filters. The ability to crop a photo as it is being taken defines the desired end result; the proper filter can enhance the contrast or color.  As time went on I used every opportunity to improve my skills by taking classes and learning from experience. When I traveled or my kids played soccer, danced or played in the swimming pool, I would be working the camera to capture an image that would have impact and stand the test of time.
 
With the advent of digital photographic equipment, I started to see that I could maintain complete control; from the minute I choose an image and take the photo to the final print. This opened new doors of potential and challenge for me.
 
My goals have expanded as I strive to produce a piece of art to be enjoyed by many.
