Photographer Jay Kennedy takes a porch portrait of Morrisville resident Leslie Carpenter and her children Ellery and Ivan Stancliff. The resulting image is on the left.

Two weeks ago, Elmore wedding photographer Jay Kennedy decided to turn his lens onto his neighbors. He's been capturing them at home, on their front porches as they wait out the pandemic. 

Kennedy is freely sharing the images, and hoping his subjects will pay it forward to Lamoille County Food Share.
